Get rid of The Department of Education, The Department of Energy and de-fang the FBI.

Dreams can come true, right ?

My mother always said “Joe McCarthy was right.”

Well Mom, both you and Senator Joe are smiling in their graves.

This is what the entire article at the posted link says NOW, apparently edited way down:

******************************************

“By John Hudson

Scores of senior career diplomats are resigning from the State Department effective at noon on Monday after receiving instructions to do so from President-elect Donald Trump’s aides, three U.S. officials familiar with the matter said.
Sign up for Fact Checker, our weekly review of what’s true, false or in-between in politics.

The forced departures, aimed at establishing a decisive break from the Biden administration, will result in an exodus of decorated veterans of the Foreign Service, including John Bass, the undersecretary for management and acting undersecretary for political affairs, and Geoff Pyatt, the assistant secretary for energy resources, said the officials, who like others spoke on the condition of anonymity to discuss personnel decisions ahead of Monday’s inauguration

This children are leaving time bombs for trump and his administration! Their last hooray….they succeeded in denying Trump well deserved inauguration ceremony on the steps of our national mall so his base who made the expensive trip will turn on him(I still say it was a set up). It was all planned including the FJB Pardons of those evil pieces of shit corrupt bastards Liz Cheney along with Milley and Fauci! They were not going to make it easy for Trump and those unjustly imprisoned into getting their justice instead they all are going to have to file lawsuit which will take years and years and millions of dollars. These bastards are evil the swamp can go to hell. There’s no defeating it without a civil war that’s the way I see it. Just look at the clapping seals bidding farewell to that piece of shit Garland. The whole swamp is infected with demons. That’s why I have my doubt that Trump will succeed. They have already signal they’re going to drag his nominees for weeks before they get confirmed. Buckle up it’s not going to be easy. The celebration is over and this morning proved it!

Scores of career State Dept. diplomats resign before Trump’s inauguration...

Many of us have had our differences on a variety of things over the years, and many of us have been simpatico on many things, but today is a day we should all appreciate.

We have been witnesses to the greatest comeback in political history, and almost all of us are on the right side of this. We advocated for it. We were vocal for it. Some of us spent many days on sidewalks with signs for this. Some of us have been, and still are, political prisoners for publicly advocating for this. Some of us even got involved at all levels of government to change what we see as a grave wrongs to the principles this country was founded on.

But we should all be filled with some hope for the future of our country on this day.

In the end, Trump and his Administration may not be able to solve these issues or even make a dent in them. It is possible we may be too far gone, too much in debt, too much invaded with people who hate this country, and too much industry base lost.

It may already be too late to turn this around.

But I hope we can all agree on one thing, at least those of us who haven't yet given up on this country, what it means to not just Americans but to the world: If any single group of people can slow down this headlong rush to the cliff of national defenestration, fragmentation, and dissolution, it is Trump and his team he is putting together.

They may not be able to to save this country. But this is the best chance we have. And like many of you who love this country as I do, served under the flag for it, and reaped the benefits that have accrued to the citizens of a Constitutional Republic such as ours for which we are genuinely grateful, we DO believe it is worth fighting for and saving.

So, to see our enemies of this Republic, foreign and domestic, scurrying like the rats above in the graphic towards the exits with their ill-gotten gains, we should be filled with the feeling that January 19th, 2025 was the high-water mark of our domestic enemies, and the waters of their tyranny, treason, sedition, illegality, hate, and deception will begin to recede as soon as Trump puts his pen to the first of the many execrable Executive Orders put in place by the Biden Administration to cancel them out.

I thank all of you, even (or especially) the ones I have disagreed with on this forum, for sticking this out to see this day.

Godspeed to you all, to Jim Robinson for giving us this forum as a soapbox to express our views, and to our United States of America.
