Government Accountability and Law Under the Left

Without accountability, there can be no civic consent, and with leftists, there can be no accountability: the border crisis and the Durham Report show how truly renegade the federal government has become.

Government’s ineptitude, apathy, and policies driven by internal politics (as usual), have a real cost in terms of people dying, suffering injury or preventable sickness, and losing their businesses and homes. Federal agencies don’t approve new drugs fast enough, never seem to fix public hazards before it’s too late, and are too often indifferent to the needs of the people they ostensibly serve. A president’s policies are either hyped or torpedoed depending on whether they have a D or an R after their name. Citizens throw up their hands, believing a representative government is a thing of the past.

Too many things are simultaneously going wrong, and it largely comes down to a lack of accountability across the board; and the implicit political bias seems posed to persist. President Trump constantly fought a bureaucracy that measured its successes not on accomplishments or service to the people, but on managers bumping up the General Schedule ladder, and power-building their departments.

Today’s overarching theme seems to be the “haves” and their insular attitudes against the “have-nots”, with too many governmental functionaries becoming lost in their versions of reality. Our government serves itself first; too often, citizens come last or, if at all, as an afterthought. This highlights an elite government class that fervently believes it knows best.

Government possesses an inherent ability to worsen the problem it attempts to rectify — mix that tendency to bungle the process (whether intentionally or not) with a lack of accountability and you get a massive disconnect, and chaos. Legislative or administrative intent morphs into how laws or policies are implemented...

The problem seems to be that most people going into government are in it for having power over other people.

Prosecutors have zero oversight so what could go wrong? 95% of closed cases are PLEA DEALS. 6 - 10% of prison slaves (thanks to the 13th amendment) are innocent. There is little rehabilitation. Although those with the lowest recidivism rates are murder and sex offenses. The registry doesn’t work. Satellite based monitoring does.

And a great way to become millionaires.

It's not ineptitude.

It's malfeasance.

you said”It’s not ineptitude.

It’s malfeasance.”

And might I add ... whose roots are in the public education system.

Under leftists like the current regime, law and accountability don’t exist. They believe those things don’t apply to them.
