Revenge and retribution. The next 4-year tour. Whatever he needs. Don’t oppose. Say what is politically correct. Keep your head down. Do exactly what you are told. It’s hitting all levels of the organization. It could hit you at any time.
How could these people NOT expect the radical changes that the Cheesy Poof Traitor Tot is making? He spoke about them often enough. They heard what he’s going to do. They’re seeing what he’s going to do or has been done. Higher officials are being forced out so that DonOld can put his loyalists in, whether or not they’re qualified for the job. They answer to him and him only. He’s weaponizing the FBI and DOJ.
It seems that no matter what level is held, there’s going to be lots of questions heading their way. Look at how he fired any- and everyone who worked on the J6 cases, no matter what they had done. Just bam! They’re gone. There’s been no real warning and no way to expect this. The person who did the very least up to the top levels are gone. I’ll bet they can’t get unemployment, either. So, what the hell do they do now? They’re likely submitting about a gazillion resumes to different places, but that’s a pretty specific market, and will companies take them in at all? Will they fear retribution?
Could this mean they are blacklisted? And then what do they do for a living? Some places will understand. Others won’t. But they’re not a part of the weapon now. It’s taken them down along with everyone else. People shouldn’t have to be scared about their jobs when they are career civil servants. They swear an oath to the CONSTITUTION and are apolitical. They don’t swear an oath to the president. “I didn’t think it was going to be this bad.” Not only is it this bad, it’s likely to get worse. We are talking about tRump, after all. And now, he can get whatever he wants and do whatever he wants. Back to the absolute immunity.
There’s going to be shellshock everywhere, if there isn’t already. So many people doing exactly what they are supposed to do. But he can find any reason to kick them out no matter the rank or the positions.
From an article: “The most common refrain I’m hearing from people who have left but are still talking to people on the inside is: ‘I knew it was going to be bad but I didn’t think it was going to be this bad,'” longtime Democratic lawyer Mark Bergman told the Guardian. The news outlet notes that Bergman “has been in contact with some of those who fear being targets of the retribution Trump repeatedly vowed” during his campaign.
There’s nowhere to escape to. There’s no way to hide. It’s happening but has also has happened. DonOld is on a roll. He’s throwing people, lifetime civil servants, away. And even if some were a mistake, he’ll just put more loyalists in which will efffff things up even more. This is a mess. This is a giant mess. It doesn’t matter what should be done as long as the idiots are in charge and the Confused Carrot has their loyalty first, then maybe the job next. What’s gong to happen if he needs help from the DOJ or FBI? He’ll strongarm someone into taking the challenge and make it work. Shellshock indeed. Don’t tell him no. Just … don’t.
******And now, please read a very special request from our awesome boss******
Friends, I am forced to self-promote and ask you for money. We had a bad year compared with 2023 and the end of the year has been catastrophic. Traffic died on November 5. We are a small blog and completely self-supporting by ad revenue, donations, and subscriptions. If you can afford a monthly subscription that would help us out. If you can make a small donation, likewise. Our only goal is to stay in business and give you the best content we can generate. You are the wind beneath our wings. Thank you. Ursula
He fired Andrew McCabe the day before he could take early retirement. Anyone who didn’t think he’d do exactly what he said he would is either stupid or naive.
There’s an old Russian expression which up to now people in the “first” world would have found crude and boorish: “If you know you’re going to be raped, may as well lie back and enjoy it”.
It makes perfect sense now. And by the middle of Trump’s third term, even some Maga’ts may actually catch on (though that might still be pushing it. Perhaps by his 5th term)
