Let's See Musk's Kids (not the biological ones)

They keep talking about these 20-something 'kids' running amok in our Federal agencies, making grown workers cry - well, I want to see them!  Why aren't they being interviewed, or at least lined up as a backdrop to Musk instead of his black-capped Mini Me?  Do they even exist, or is it  another conspiracy theory? Are they Leprechauns?  Likewise the woman in charge of DOGE, on paper, at least; or is she still on vacation in Mexico? 

I realize lots of you don't care about the abrupt firings without cause or compensation, or vindictive bosses setting their sights on someone's family; happens all the time in the corporate world. Everyone's for a reduction in waste, et al;  but the government works differently than private industry, and like it or not, federal workers have protections by law to protect them from such arbitrary actions, which is why there are so many suits heading for court.  Most federal workers can earn lots more in the private sector (I certainly did), so don't be so heartless.  What goes around comes around.  What counts is we follow the LAW, silly me.

I don't particularly care about the Venezuelans being deported IF, as they claim, the deportees are indeed part of that gang, Tren de Aragua,  f___ 'em.  But since Due Process has flown out the window, how can we know?  Aren't we supposed to be Innocent until proven Guilty?  I'm no 'gang fan' but I am a fan of our basic laws as laid down in the Constitution, and this one's a biggie (from the Legal Information Institute):

The Fifth Amendment says to the federal government that no one shall be "deprived of life, liberty or property without due process of law." The Fourteenth Amendment , ratified in 1868, uses the same eleven words, called the Due Process Clause, to describe a legal obligation of all states.

Let's see how the current Administration goes around that.  Change rarely occurs overnight but gradually, like the erosion of our laws and rights.  Look at how they're splitting hairs over defying a Judge's order.  Doesn't matter whether it's one judge in some obscure place - if Trump was principled he'd have turned those planes around and filed an objection in the meantime.  Land 'em in Guantanamo, why not?

For our President to unilaterally decide which laws he'll follow and which he feels are immaterial is a dangerous thing.  After the gangs, who?  Three-strikers; the homeless; no, wait, Arabs (I just heard of the female doctor at Brown U. deported to Lebanon).  He'll sentence them to manual labor at the Gaza Riviera, like the builders of the Pyramids.  If due process is gone, what's their alternative?   

But I digress.  So who's seen these computer whiz-kids, other than people getting the axe?  And as long as we're publicizing everything about everybody, let's see their parents - are they billionaires, too?  It's only fair - they have access to everything about US.  Why don't we hear reporters asking to see these KIDS as well as proof of the overblown SAVINGS?

It's a Shell Game.  Happy St. Patrick's Day.
