Inside Trump's week of rage and retribution
NBC News ^ | Feb 15, 2020 | Shannon Pettypiece

WASHINGTON — President Donald Trump spent his first week post-impeachment asserting his dominance over the Department of Justice in a bid to exact revenge on his enemies and deliver rewards to his allies — the sudden, dramatic escalation of a long-running campaign to solidify his control over legal matters, and remove or sideline the remaining independent voices within his administration.

With the impeachment behind him, Trump's advisers say there is little incentive for him to hold his fire. With few, if any, dissenting voices left in his orbit, aides and advisers have been cheering on his moves, saying he is ridding his administration of “snakes” and fighting back against a corrupt “deep state” — support that has emboldened Trump in the days since his Senate acquittal....

Trump's defiance seems to have buoyed aides along with the passing of the cloud of impeachment, and with the election still more than eight months away, there is little internal fear of political consequences for the current swirl of rage and retribution, campaign advisers said.

He is doing what he said he would do, Drain the Swamp.

The left is tired of losing and now their turd head operatives are being flushed out of the system and they are screaming like babies.

As far as I’m concerned President Trump should have done this in week one of his term.

The left needs to go sit down and STFU about who Trump is kicking out of the White house, the NSC, and the Ambassadors he fires. They all serve at his pleasure so he has every right to kick their butts out.

Reminds me of Carlin. “Don’t sweat the petty things and don’t pet the sweaty things.”

Liberalism is a mental disease. Rage and retribution? (Insert eye roll here.)

I wish the President would act like the Democrats. I want to see blood flowing from the Halls of Congress, DOJ/FBI, FISA Court, CIA and DNI, among other cesspools.

I consider Trump to be very tame in his justified criticisms of corrupt government political hacks who have jeopardized America’s Constitution, legal system, intelligence apparatus, and the country’s very existence.

Yes, Democrats are “the existential threat to America’s survival”!!!!

Democrats failed to kill the king. Now they’re whining at his defiance of them.

Indeed. They're lucky.

Queen Elizabeth, in dealing with traitors, told the torturers "Think of something new."
