Biden won't be able to get away with it due to republican majority.
This is exactly what Trump is doing though. He's using the "acting" title to essentially route the Senate himself, which is something that Biden can and should do.
He can't, unfortunately. Apparently, you can only promote someone to Acting Secretary of [insert whatever] if that person was confirmed by the Senate for a different post before.
I mean, Biden could probably try to sneak in his actual Cabinet through the backdoor like that: Have them confirmed for lower positions that no one gives a shit about and then promote them to Acting Secretaries, lmao.
Trump is doing that because he knows Mitch will just push through whoever he picks in the republican-controlled senate. Biden can make people "acting" as much as he wants -- Mitch and the republican majority will just shoot them down and make him look like a fool.
so could this be in preparation of a coup d'etat? if esper was against using troops to mow down protestors and that is the reason for his dismissal?
More likely, Trump is up to something nefarious and these folks wouldn't comply.
Good, Fauci is amazing, sad to see how he's been treated by Trump and his admin.
So what's to stop Trump in the next 2 months from just randomly declaring "war" and bombing a random country House of Cards style? I could see him leaving in the most scorched earth possible way if he feels he has no way out
I laughed.
Chris Wray (FBI director) has also been on his shit list for a while.
I was expecting him to go full scorched earth, but this might be scarier.
Who knows. He didn't agree with using the military as a way to keep him in power?
It is a strange...
