Trump’s executive order stripped agencies of their independence by making them directly accountable to a part of the presidency: the office of management and budget (OMB).

        They don’t think about freedom around me. Most idiots I know are have a fetish for a dictatorship because they think they’ll keep on living their redneck dream while getting pretty SS suits when the master takes all the power.

          Ahh classic, the bigots don’t realize that they’re the fuel for the horrific machine and will be disposed as soon as they’re no longer useful
