Trump Must Make These Careerist Bureaucratic Pigs Squeal

President-elect Donald J. Trump has made some picks for cabinet posts that have engulfed Washington in a frenzy of whining and misery. That’s all I need to know regarding the nominations—if the political class hates them, it’s good for the country. Yet, there will be some vociferous opposition to some of Trump’s picks, to which I say bring it on. We won the election. The president can make his selections. Let’s see what happens. And for Republicans who might be thinking about standing in the way, we’ll remember.

The two most controversial are Robert F. Kennedy, Jr. and Matt Gaetz for secretary of Health and Human Services and attorney general, respectively. Kennedy will be slammed for his takes on vaccines, among other things. At the same time, Gaetz will have to wade through his reservoir of controversy concerning alleged drug use and frolicking with underage girls—all of which are rumors and speculation at this point.

Was Gaetz my number-one choice? No. I would joke that Trump should nominate him as a radical choice to lead the Justice Department, so it was a bit of a treat when he did so formally. It’s tragic: Gaetz would uproot the bad apples at the Justice Department without the purported baggage. You need someone a bit nutty and an anti-institutionalist, for lack of a better term, to dig out these cancers. Not that one needs to be anti-DOJ, Treasury, and the like, but someone who isn’t willing to knock off the roof, turn the building upside down, and shake out all the slimy bugs that reside.

Rod Rosenstein, Jeff Sessions, and William Barr aren’t those people. That’s the thing that’s glossed over—Trump did pick from the “qualified” crop in his first presidency, and they either turned against him or allowed the gangster tactics that hamstrung the White House to suppurate and fester. The man doesn’t have another election this time—he’s going for the gusto, and more Republicans should embrace this balls-to-the-wall approach, whether it succeeds or not. The message must be clear: we’ve come to take our government back. And we’ll nominate anyone who will make the careerist bureaucratic pigs squeal.

Elections have consequences. The intelligence community, the media, Democrats, and the Justice Department tried to get this guy in a million different ways. Trump has survived two assassination attempts. And he won the 2024 election. It’s time to burn Washington to the ground. It’s time for revenge, and I’ll back anyone who will make that happen; problematic history be damned.

The View had to choke on a legal note about Gaetz today. It was like a hostage video.

Create the Department of Paybacks and Retribution. I’ll gladly offer to head that up and work for free. I’ll need to hire a few thousand temps to help though because the list is long.

I am waiting for the RINOs to try to block our president’s selections so that we should then ask for recall votes on their treacherous hides. Cornyn and probably Thune just for the short list.

Who else?

Suppurate

Is to draw the infection out, like poultice on a boil, bringing it to a head, and lancing and draining. Think “horse strangles abscess”. I suggest not googling photos. You’ll never use mayonnaise again.

Permanent DC is not all communist; they are careerist. These cushy jobs pay for their kids and grandkids to go to the right schools, meet the right people and get cushy jobs and big homes on the east coast, perpetually.

It’s a multi-generation gravy train. Their savagery is their struggle to keep it.

Check who is on the secret list of sexual or other harassment payoffs from the secret congressional payoff fund and let them all know it will be released

DOGE should also be looking at this as regards how our money is spent versus an average citizen who would be footing the legal expense themselves

Squealing would be just a bonus.
The real joy will be seeing them all terminated, tried, and convicted of defrauding the US People.
