Let's begin with this, trump's goal coming in to the start of his admin is to purge the government of those viewed to be disloyal. This has been well advertised.

Exactly what Obama did when he was elected.

Want a Job in the Trump Administration? Be Prepared for the Loyalty Test.​

At the Trump transition offices in West Palm Beach, Fla., prospective occupants of high posts inside the Pentagon and the intelligence agencies typically run through a gamut of three to four interviews, conducted in recent weeks by a mix of Silicon Valley investors and innovators and a team of the MAGA faithful.

The applicants report that they have been asked about how to overhaul the Pentagon, or what technologies could make the intelligence agencies more effective, or how they feel about the use of the military to enforce immigration policy. But before they leave, some of them have been asked a final set of questions that seemed designed to assess their loyalty to President-elect Donald J. Trump.

The questions went further than just affirming allegiance to the incoming administration. The interviewers asked which candidate the applicants had supported in the three most recent elections, what they thought about the events of Jan. 6, 2021, and whether they believed the 2020 election was stolen. The sense they got was that there was only one right answer to each question.

Can't really blame them. Democrats in government are far more loyal to their party than they are the nation.

And they've been fucking up shit for years now.

Yep, they're every bit as bad as Republicans.

Yep, they're every bit as bad as Republicans.

There are decent people in both parties. But unelected bureaucrats wield WAY too much power, and should be reigned in.

Former Proud Boys leader being processed for release from prison, lawyer tells NBC​

Enrique Tarrio, the former Proud Boys leader whom a jury convicted of seditious conspiracy for his role in the Jan. Capitol riot, is being processed for release from federal prison, his attorney told NBC News.

Tarrio, who is serving a 22-year prison sentence in Louisiana — the longest term of anyone convicted in relation to the riot — is expecting to soon get a grant of clemency from Trump, attorney Nayib Hassan told NBC.

“He is being processed out,” Hassan said. “We do not know what type of clemency he is receiving.”

Any member of law enforcement who isn't having second thoughts if they voted for the Felon-in-Chief disgraces him or herself and the officers who defended the Constitutional order on Jan. 6. If trump can do this there's nothing he won't do.

The entire country should be taken aback by this degree of disregard for lawlessness. Instead, The Following revels in it.
