I wonder how many needed actions were stalled in implementation pending review by someone’s “advisory committee”

Exactly right. Basically patronage jobs, a spoils system if you will.

Probably none. Advisory committees are a progressive construct. They aren’t meant to address actual problems or issues they are there to provide money for the members who need to travel to meetings and of course their time and possibly travel lodging and meal expenses plus stipends and the occasional team building activity at some spa or amusement park.

I think Miley is on this list.

They’ve removed Miley’s portrait from the wall of all the Chairmen of the Joint Chiefs of Staff. As you probably know.

..."in alignment with the Department of Homeland Security's (DHS) commitment to eliminating the misuse of resources and ensuring that DHS activities prioritize our national security."

So, there was no national security priority before 1/20 and misusing resources was the norm?

Firings ought to continue from a higher authority.

I think that’s how Willie Brown paid Kamala when he was mayor. Put her on some once per month committee that meets for two hours per month.

President Trump’s Department of Homeland Security just FIRED the entire advisory committee, citing “misuse of resources.”

Biden’s DHS funneled BILLIONS to facilitating illegal immigrants, so this move is much needed.

They probably should disinfect the wall while they’re at it. Stink form sh!t that bad goes deep.
