Most are shocked at what they see going on here. I agree and I live in the US, unless you want to carve the left coast out from all the mess going on to the east of the Sierra and Cascade mountain ranges.
 
Obama forced Trump to fire yet another investigator who opened a whistle blower complaint on Pompeo.

State Department Inspector General Steve Linick was fired Friday in a late-night ouster that drew condemnations from Democrats, with House Speaker Nancy Pelosi warning of an acceleration in a “dangerous pattern of retaliation” against federal watchdogs.

Linick, a 2013 Obama appointee who has criticized department leadership for alleged retribution toward staffers, will be replaced by Ambassador
Stephen J. Akard, a State Department spokesperson confirmed Friday. It was the latest in a string of weekend removals of oversight officials who have clashed with the Trump administration.

Rep. Eliot L. Engel (D.-N.Y.), chairman of the House Foreign Affairs Committee, claimed the State Inspector General was fired after opening an investigation into Secretary of State Mike Pompeo and said the timing suggested “an unlawful act of retaliation.” The State Department did not explain Linick’s removal or address criticism, and the White House did not immediately respond to an inquiry Friday night.

A Democratic congressional aide said that Linick was looking into Pompeo’s "misuse of a political appointee at the Department to perform personal tasks for himself and Mrs. Pompeo.”

President Trump said in a Friday letter to Congress that the inspector general no longer had his full confidence and would be removed within 30 days, the required period of advance notice to lawmakers, the Associated Press reported.

The firing came weeks after Trump removed Christi Grimm as principal deputy Inspector General for the Department of Health and Human Services, after Grimm’s office criticized the administration’s response to the coronavirus pandemic — detailing “severe shortages” of testing kits, delays in getting coronavirus results and “widespread shortages” of masks and other equipment at U.S. hospitals. Trump had lashed out publicly at Grimm.

Last month the president ousted intelligence community Inspector General Michael Atkinson, who handled the explosive whistleblower complaint that led to Trump’s impeachment. He also pushed out Glenn Fine, the chairman of the federal panel Congress created to oversee his administration’s management of the government’s $2 trillion coronavirus stimulus package.

The president’s critics responded with outrage Friday to the move against Linick. Rep. Adam B. Schiff (D-Calif.) slammed “another apparent act of retaliation and cover up” meant to “shield a loyal cabinet secretary from oversight and accountability,” while Pelosi said in a statement that Linick was “punished for honorably performing his duty to protect the Constitution and our national security, as required by the law and by his oath.”

Pelosi expressed concern that the move came as the House passed coronavirus legislation that includes funding that the State Department’s inspector general would oversee.

Sen. Robert Menendez (D-N.J.) called the firing “shameful” in a late Friday tweet. “Another late Friday night attack on independence, accountability, and career officials,” he wrote. “At this point, the President’s paralyzing fear of any oversight is undeniable.”

Sen. Chris Murphy (D-Conn.), also on Twitter, said “inspectors general are inconvenient, pesky brutes if your goal is turn the government into a cash cow for your friends, cronies and family.”

Linick has previously been critical of alleged misconduct by officials. An August report by the inspector general concluded that leadership of a leading department bureau mistreated and harassed staffers, accused them of political disloyalty to the Trump administration, and retaliated against them. Linick’s office also faulted actions by former Secretary of State Rex Tillerson.

His replacement, Akard, is a former Foreign Service Officer who leads the State Department’s Office of Foreign Missions. Akard was nominated several years ago to become director general of the Foreign Service but withdrew amid opposition.

In it, Eric offered up his own, uh, theory about why some states have been slow to full reopen as the coronavirus continues to circulate in the country. Here it is:
"And they think they're taking away Donald Trump's greatest tool, which is being able to go into an arena and fill it with 50,000 people every single time, right?
"So they will and you watch. They'll milk it every single day between now and November 3, and guess what? After November 3, coronavirus, will magically all of a sudden go away and disappear and everybody will be able to reopen."

Eric Trump's wild, dangerous coronavirus conspiracy theory

Donald Trump Jr. is usually the Trump son making headlines for his, uh, commentary about American politics. But Eric Trump seems to want in on some of that action too -- judging by an interview he gave to Fox News' Jeanine Pirro over the weekend.

Once again I say the USA is the most morally bankrupt society on the planet. You need to just look at the actions of grandpa Oompa Loompa to see so.

Your once great nation is now the laughing stock of the world. It’s people follow their trusted leader like he’s the pied piper.

For me it’s quite simple. In times of turmoil governments need to do an effective job of leadership. It shouldn’t be us vs them.

I find it interesting that the rest of the world can see what inept leadership the US has right now. But hey, that’s your choice.

So follow the guy that’s playing his pipe and see how many more Grand Mothers, Grand Fathers, Mother’s, Father’s, Aunts, Uncles, Sisters, Brothers, Neices, Nephews, Daughters and Sons you will bury so they can pad their pockets.

Good Luck cause your gonna need all the luck you can get!!
