...saying, Republicans “want to emasculate government at every possible turn” and “want to starve the beast.”

I'd say it's more a case of applying liposuction to combat the obesity in government.

They’ve been doing it to the citizenry long enough. It’s time to take turns and guess whose turn it is this time?

Shrinking the size of Government ?? What a crock of Shite !! The Republicans have increased the budget by 50 billion every year since taking over the house. The GOP is no better than the RATS, all they care about is getting reelected.

‘They’ claim that 25% of the federal work force will quit if Trump is elected.
There’s a good start in cutting govt starting on Inauguration Day!

Well, if they quit they get unemployment, unlike when they get FIRED from Day 1, right? /s

Assuming president Trump, he needs a conservative “brain trust” in his cabinet and other appointments, especially federal prosecutors.

Talk about cleaning the Aegean stables.

There are going to have to be major purges at the Pentagon, the EPA, NOAA, Education, HHS, HUD, Interior, IRS, the 17 agencies of the Intelligence community, the 100+ federal police agencies, TSA, Homeland Security, NASA GISS, Labor, State, Transportation, Energy, Commerce, etc. ad nauseum.

And the purges are just a preface to wiping out broad sectors of government, regulation, excesses and criminal acts.

This is why a Trump presidency desperately needs Ted Cruz to be on the SCOTUS.

Yarmuth was once a RINO, he worked for the peculiar RINO Sen. Marlow Cook of KY (as did Zero’s Bitch Mitch).

Capture one or both of the political parties in the United States.
That was Communist Goal #15 on the list from the Congressional Record of 1963. Fifty-three years of work certainly produces an overabundance of results.

The Socialists effectively captured the Democrat Party (or enough of it) in 1896. They drove out or purged the Bourbon Conservatives (President Cleveland was the last non-leftist Democrat) and Constitutionalists over time (1924 was the last year a non-leftist Democrat was nominated for President, that being ex-WV Congressman and Wilson’s Solicitor General John W. Davis, and the last time two Conservatives faced off for President from both parties).

The Communists effectively took control of the National Democrats in the radicalization period of 1968-1976.

Socialist “Progressives” made a play for the GOP in the 1910s (the split which allowed the execrable Wilson to win in 1912), they were on the losing end in the 1920s, but took over the party by the 1930s/40s. Even Eisenhower, who had been raised a Socialist by his father and was a yoot Democrat, effectively made the GOP Socialist when he refused to roll back nearly a quarter-century of “Progressive” Socialist big government (which had last been pursued by Conservatives Harding and Coolidge).

From then on, it has merely been (Communist) Democrats expanding their radical leftist agenda and the (Socialist) Republicans “managing” the enacted agenda. No substantive cuts have been made in over 9 decades. Not even our lauded Reagan stopped a thing. It’s a cancer devouring our nation, and it will kill it before long unless what few remaining good guys on our side slay it.
