"DOWN with the unelected Bureaucrats!" shout the unelected new bureaucrats.

I suspect they’re well aware of the irony. It’s a joke to them: people’s lives and livelihoods.

Oh they will be cackling their way to the bank as they fleece as much as they can off the idiots who voted for this.

They pretend they’re mocking democrat voters, but they’re really mocking their own people. Sick stuff, turns out there really is an evil cabal of elites after all.

Funny how they’re going to slash the government’s budget, but RFK is gonna need a bunch of cash to lead his MAHA bullshit. This administration is fucked. What a bunch of clowns.

It's too bad that the rest of us get to experience the Find Out era from the 76 million people who decided to Fuck Around.

The only solution I have is to laugh when the leopard eats their face and shove their choices down their throats.
"Oh, they cut Medicare? Of course they did, they've been saying it for years and you still voted for it."
"What's that? Our school performance has gotten worse because wrestling lady doesn't know shit about education? Who could have seen that coming? It's a shame someone who would pick qualified people wasn't elected."

B-b-but eggs got expensive while Biden was President! And Roe v. Wade was overturned under Biden! Things were better under Trump (until 2020)

I'm going to guess Make America Healthy Again, since RFK Jr. has been the one to get the nom for HHS.

u/DaveLanglinais Nov 22 '24
Ah. Okay, that makes sense.
Which actually scares me a little, because it makes more sense than RFK Jr himself does.

Regulations are demonized to the public as inventions by bureaucrats who just who just want big government.
Regulations are, in fact, the way laws are implemented. Every regulation is based on a law enacted by the Congress or by an executive order. They're not meant to hurt people; they're meant to orderly put law into action.

And to prevent death by the same action that necessitated the regulationÂ

Most - if not all - safety regulations exist because someone died or was seriously injure. But pea brains think it's because beaucrats need to justify their jobs.

u/DaveLanglinais Nov 22 '24
Well that and protect things. Whether that's rights, health and safety, healthy free market competition, or the environment. That's kind of the whole point of regulations.
But also well-said, I merely wanted to add onto your point!

Twice in the last 15 years or so an unelected Republican has derailed bipartisan border legislation, then the Republicans blame the Democrats. It's insane.

So instead of government providing direction and goals they’re going to write technical regulation? I’m sure politicians are better at this than administrators with technical backgrounds and relevant experience…

Co lead. That has to really smart for each of them. I imagine the episode of scrubs when the two were made co doctor what ever and these two slap fighting over who has the biggest side of the desk.

I still think its hilarious that the "Department of Government Efficiency" needs two people to be in charge of it.
