The Trump administration is pulling a federal watchdog off the beat in Washington, effective Wednesday, stripping funding from the Council of Inspectors General.
Removing the council’s funding will mean a further hollowing out of the work of federal inspectors general and internal government investigators who are supposed to root out waste, fraud, abuse and misconduct in the administration.
The council, which is an independent entity within the executive branch, is tasked with addressing “integrity, economy and effectiveness issues that transcend individual Government agencies,” according to the council’s website.
The Trump administration argues the inspectors general are “corrupt.”
The regime’s current motto is:
- Do not report bad job numbers
- Do not report bad inflation data
- Do not report corruption cases
- Do not mention climate change
- Do not believe in science
- Do not use proven medications
- Do not let women control a narrative
- Do not call tariffs a tax
- Do not doubt Trumps (mental) health
- Do not investigate/report on integrity or efficiency cases
- Do not believe outsiders
- Do not attack pedophiles
- Do not mention certain words
- Do not read certain books
- Do not expect proper fbi/cia/judicial investigations
- Do not let the constitution have power over you.
Literally only one reason to ever do this
It’s fascism
