NBC Opinion: Trump's purging everyone he thinks is disloyal. He was never going to learn from impeachment.
NBC "News" ^ | February 8, 2020 | by Robert Schlesinger

It didn’t take long to find out what an unleashed Donald Trump looks like — and I’m not referring to his petulant, un-Christian comments at the National Prayer Breakfast on Thursday morning or even his toxic, stream-of-subconsciousness victory lap in the East Room of the White House early that afternoon, during which the leader of the free world introduced “top scum” and “bullshit” to the public presidential lexicon.

Sure, both performances offered disturbing glimpses into Trump’s very scary emotional state, as if his Twitter feed weren’t enough. But even as he debuted the latest iteration of his angry-victim performance art, he and his allies also started settling scores in a startlingly open way.

And it may be a long while before we know the true depths of his political depravities because on the same day that Trump was acquitted, Attorney General Barr issued new guidance that he must personally approve any politically-sensitive investigations. Barr, who has dispensed with his office’s traditional independence from the president, has been a vocal critic of Mueller’s investigation, even though it produced dozens of indictments, seven guilty pleas (many from top Trump aides) and five prison sentences. And now he has insulated Trump from any fears of being held accountable in the run-up to the November elections.

Though a number of Senate Republicans have suggested that Trump had learned a lesson from his impeachment, early indications are that he intends to teach a number of people some very hard lessons — including about believing people when they show you who they are — instead.

If it were me, I’d learn who the back stabbers and enemies were and get rid of them.

I guess Elitist Virtue Signaling is the new thing in “journalism”.

I find it strange that someone who works at NBC fancies he has an ability to detect un-Christian comments.

Clinton got rid of all of the US Attorneys including the ones in Kansas City who were investigating him. So F this POS. He can add that to the lexicon.

“bullshit”

That reminds me of the old story, where Truman’s wife is asked to get her husband to use “fertilizer”, in place of that indelicate word “manure”. “You don’t know how many years it took me to get him to say ‘manure’”.

But Truman was a Democrat, so that made him an earthy man of the people, not an insult to the dignity of his office.

People willing to lie and cheat and steal and commit perjury to overthrow the Government? Yeah. Purge is a good word for it.

He tried being nice. Look where that got us.

President Trump is not the student; he is the teacher. And more and more Americans are taking his class.

NBC is Comcast

Comcast is America’s most dangerous enemy, more dangerous than Russia or Iran or North Korea

Every night, I go to bed thinking it can’t possibly get funnier.

And, every morning, I wake up to discover I was wrong.

Clinton purged everything when he became President. Elections have consequences.

And who wouldn’t????

It’s a perfectly normal, rational reaction to someone who has betrayed you.

Only an idiot would keep someone like that on board.
