Expanding the purge
The dictator purges law enforcement:
The Trump administration is set to expand a purge of career law enforcement officials, with dozens of FBI agents who worked on January 6, 2021, US Capitol attack and Trump-related investigations as well as some supervisors being evaluated for possible removal as soon as the end of Friday, according to people briefed on the matter.
This is, already, a dictatorship. Purging law enforcement officials because they enforced the law=dictatorship. If laws don’t apply to Trump, then nothing can stop him, and that’s a dictatorship. At the rate we’re going he’ll be eating people on camera in a week or two.
Agents who worked the investigation of Trump’s alleged mishandling of classified documents, and those who investigated the roughly 1,600 rioters charged or convicted connected to the violent Capitol attack have been concerned they could face retribution for doing work they were assigned to do.
The Justice Department and FBI declined to comment.
According to communications obtained by CNN, more than a dozen prosecutors who worked on January 6 cases had their employment terminated by the Justice Department Friday.
Justice shmustice.
It’s a straight replay of Stalin’s purges of the 1930s. The gulags come next.
This is all his revenge fantasy. He doesn’t care about the government, about getting good people, he just cares about shouting “You’re fired!” at people who stood in his way.
And meanwhile, Musk has managed to take control of the economic side of things.
We are so doomed.
So, remember when the left were accused of wanting to “defund the police”?
I can’t recall shivering in fear before as an adult but I’ve been doing it all night.
Across the pond this looks very scary. One of those occasional fits of craziness like Prohibition and McCarthyism that the USA went through and emerged out the other end?
Really start worrying when the army shoots down demonstrators.
On this side of the pond however it looks absolutely fucking terrifying.
And way way way worse than Prohibition or McCarthyism or both of them combined.
