Re: Going after federal government tech spending ...
Tell me, just out of idle curiosity, what do you mean by ‘far left’, what do you consider ‘far left’? Because it’s vague isn’t it?
It's obviously the opposite of 'far right', which is equally vague and often misapplied.
Now personally, and do feel free to argue, I think that many people would equate ‘far left’ with a Marxist philosophy for, oh, abolition of private property, no companies, everyone works for the state, a command economy, no?
Yep, Marxist/socialist philosophy sound about right for a start. So that 'globalist' philosphy popular in a certain section of politics. Own nothing and be happy. Eat bugs and be happy. A loss of body autonomy when the State tells you to stand 2m appart, wear a face mask and take an experimental vaccine, and be happy.. Or else. Or the abolition of ICE cars and motorsports. Or banning firearms. Or smoking. Or increasing censorship of 'social media' to ban unofficial misinformaton, and stamp out vaguely specified 'hate crimes', which might include calling people 'nazis'. Or just increasing regulation encroaching on and attempting to force businesses in a 'social' direction via DEI or 'environmental' policies. Or the imposition of 'wealth taxes' so the government can help itself to unrealised income.
Or just an increasingly bloated bureaucracy that every taxpayer has to try and keep in the style to which it has become accustomed, which leads to people 'working for the government'-

Where Europe is worse off than the US, with Belgians and Austrians spending more of the year working to pay for their governments than they get for themselves. And for the EU, this will only get worse because Ursula von der Liar was in the news stating that the EU needs a Pan-European Defence Organisation because it can't depend on NATO. Which the EU can't afford without making big sacrifices to social spending, and it can't afford to spend 5% on NATO either.. Even if that's an economic command coming from Trump and the right.
Or there are simpler problems. So once upon a time (ok, 1789) a bunch of wise men got together and proposed a 3-way. Thus the US Constitution was born, with an attempt to prevent tyranny by dividing powers between the Legislative, Executive and Judicial. Then fast forward to last Friday, and the injunction in NYC where NY AG Letitia James and 19 other Democrat AGs got this mess rolling-

After an ex parte hearing at which no one from Trump’s administration was present, Engelmayer exceeded his constitutional power with an order usurping the president’s executive authority.
In the order, Engelmayer held that President Trump’s political appointees have no access to the Treasury Department, which means that the president has no access.
So while this order stands, the Executive can't conduct an audit, which is their right under the Constitution. Which is something that has previously been tested-
In Mississippi v. Johnson, 71 U.S. 475 (1867), the Supreme Court ruled that the judiciary may not restrain the president in the execution of the laws.
.. or duties. And yet Englemayer just has. But so far, so normal for the Democrats, and hopefully the judge and the 20 Democrat AGs will be impeached, fired and maybe jailed for blatantly violating their oaths to defend the Constitution..
