Chump is trying to clear out anyone that is not devoted to him. He surrounds himself with "yes" men. He loves loyalty. All his nominees has a past, a confusing past. Some i really dont think the Senate needs to waste their time questioning them. If theyre like Trump theyll say what NEEDS to be said

If Trump was a Manchurian candidate and was right now actively taking steps to seriously degrade America’s most important institutions - would you be able to tell the difference?

Yet dictator Don got rid of most of the protections for employees and made it so that anyone can fire anyone they want with no regards to anything and hire whomever they want without any regards or anything. Which is what led to our past hiring process of mostly to only inept white conservative men

My question now is what building is going to be the US Lubyanka - it needs a basement where purgees can be shot in the back of the neck and an attached crematorium. Nothing fancy.
Presuming the FBI is the new NKVD, it'd have to be attached to or adjacent to the current or planned FBI HQ.
Thoughts?

Trump is creating a intelligence vacuum the likes of which this country has never seen.
All in the hopes that the next terrorist attack willl be so heinous he can implement martial law.

If you listen to Joe Rogan on the night of the election, Elon Musk knew four hours before the election was over, that Trump won ⁉️

These people have no idea how much they were misinformed. I don't understand how the Democrats could not deliver the right information to them? All the right wing media was lying constantly. And I think in the end Elon Musk manipulated the election. How did he know that Trump won the election?

This happened in all countries after the Soviet Union took control of them. They destroyed the government, some people were put in prison and sent to hard labor. The new people had to be members of the communist party in order to be able to work in important positions. This is what Trump does.

Definitely bad, but as a historian, I must add...
Soviet-style purges included death & sentences to prison in Siberia (a more painful, prolonged death)
These unjust firings are not like that.

After the death of Stalin, the Soviet system began to act more softly, and this is very similar to what Trump is doing now.
As a historian, you should know this.

They can't be fired without cause until the Trump administration fires them without cause. And what the fuck are they going to do about that? Go to the courts to challenge the government?

Leaving us wide open for God knows what. The death and pillaging of Americans if we don’t get these pro Russian assets out of the White House will be catastrophic.

Don’t quit folks. Protect your computer. Hard copy the good stuff. Set locks on everything you can to slow them down. Remember who they are. Technoligarchs control everything so do whatever possible to impede them and move out of their range.

The worst part is that Christopher Wray is a *Republican* who was appointed by Trump during his first term.
He's far from a Biden loyalist and yet Trump is going to try to paint him as such, so that he can be replaced by someone who's sole loyalty is to Trump, not the Constitution or the country.

How is it efficient to pay out all these severance packages by forcing them out?
U either have 2 hire someone to replace them & pay them @ same time 4 however many months/years is detailed in severance package OR u leave critical areas w/o a fully equipped staff
Neither is good. What r we doing? 🤯

"When he declared dictatorship in 1925 [Mussolini] pardoned all the quote political criminals and thugs who had helped him to power .. [he removed] non loyalist officials from civil service .. Purges, privatisations and pardons all .. create a client base for the autocrat"

He is systematically destroying the institutions which have the ability to resist against his destruction of American democracy.
Unless he is stopped, he will be the first American dictator.

When I was much in school eons ago, I learned that we created a Civil Service system to prevent precisely what dump (back then it was called "patronage") is trying to do. There's supposed to be procedures that assure civil service employees are terminated for cause (bribery, etc.) What happened?

There is no current FBI director which begs the questions:
Who is ordering this?
Who is communicating the orders?
Will the new FBI director be expected to just follow along or will they have independence?
