Boo friggen hoo. He’s gonna replace our loyalists with his loyalists.
This is what should have happened in the first place. Defenestration of the mandarin class.

Supposedly this is from a man who chickened out on his promise to put Hillary Clinton in jail?
Let’s just stop here: purging potentially thousands of civil servants. Shut down entire departments.
The only solution to this mess is a smaller federal government. Get back to doing only what is allowed in the constitution.
Trump has IRE! Good news.
He should have wrath and the opposition should feel it.
Fired? Whole swathes need to be arrested: most high and mid-level DOJ (including many at district US attorney’s offices like the Southern District of NY), most of the FBI, many at CIA and DOD (officers who lied to Trump should be court martialed).
“people involved in the discussions tell Axios”
riiiight ...
I want something more radical.
I want a GOP led House with a GOP led Senate, if we have them after November 2024, to give a GOP President, if we have one in January 2025, to 100% suspend all the civil service hiring and firing regulations, across the entire executive branch, for a period of two years. Then we can drain the whole swamp.
It would also include a two year permission for axing and eliminating whole units - departments, in the federal agencies.
With a slim and trim federal government we can then plan on how to get to a balanced budget with no increase in the federal debt limit.
Because the current admin isn’t radical.
Such objectivity.
But then I have to ask myself, will he?
“We have a transfer fot you to Barrow, Alaska, Woke Civil Servant. Be transferred or resign.”
Government spending is the prime contributor to inflation. They spend money that we do not have and either have to go further in debt or print money. The only real solution is eliminating vast portions of government and the employees associated with government. I hope MAGA replacements will be there to help with the transition to the unemployment lines for most of the useless drags on the economy and our freedoms. But it is vitally important to have replacement policy/laws ready to go with elimination of these people from government jobs. As for the IRS, there needs to be a complete overhaul of the tax code. That must include simplification. The best way in my analysis is the implementation of a consumption tax collected thru the current state sales tax system and the elimination of all other taxes. The IRS should be completely shuttered. The Treasury Department can have a bureau for collecting constitutionally allowed tariffs and another bureau for collecting excise taxes. The payment of consumption taxes by the states is simply an electronic funds transfer, requires no federal enforcement, no employees, no auditors, no lawyers, no janitors. It is simply an accounting function of the US Treasury.
Anything short of complete shuttering leaves the problems of government intact and really isn’t a serious solution.
No legs were broken when the people responsible for this article started jumping to conclusion’s.
Is kneecapping on the agenda?
You only need one law to destroy the bureaucracy:
Only Congress may write laws.
That means that congress cannot give its law-making power to unelected, unaccountable bureaucrats.
That will decapitate the entire federal bureaucracy. When bureaucrats can no longer write law, 90% of the bureaucrats will become unnecessary and powerless.
Hope he does a better job than in his first term.
Sounds like a pretty good plan. It’s a whole lot better to radically reshape the federal government than to radically reshape the United States.
