resident Biden's administration and liberal supporters in Washington are bracing for a possible Donald Trump victory in November by installing "roadblocks" to limit the latter's ability to fire thousands of government workers, according to a new report.
The Associated Press reported that a cabal of left-leaning experts, legal advisers and others are confident Biden will be re-elected but are urging him to prepare for the worst: another Trump presidency beginning in 2025.
"My impression is the Biden administration is taking very seriously that potential threat and is trying to do things now," Michael Linden, former executive associate director of the White House Office of Management and Budget under Biden, told the AP. Although he added there was no "magic bullet" to stop Trump if he took office again. "Nobody should be under any illusion that there’s anything that this president can do in advance to prevent the next president from doing things that are very damaging, potentially catastrophically."
The AP reported the "Office of Personnel Management, the federal government’s chief human resources agency, will finalize a rule by April against reclassifying tens of thousands of workers so they can be more easily fired, according to OPM spokesperson Viet Tran." A Biden campaign spokesperson said Trump was "already telegraphing plays straight out of the authoritarian playbook — gutting the civil service of people he deems disloyal and plotting revenge on his political enemies."
A hypothetical Trump administration would take months or even years to unwind it, the AP wrote. The wire service added that other options for Biden to "thwart" a potential succession could include "promoting expanded collective bargaining agreements with federal personnel to beginning the complicated bureaucratic task of designating more government posts as policy-dedicated, thus making workers harder to fire."

But back in those days, the rascals took all the “W” keyboard keys. Times have changed.
Announcing open plans to undercut and thwart the next administration is a whole new level of evil.
Not to forget that later the very first “warning” about the “devastating” Covid came from Rosenstein’s sister in Atlanta at the CDC. She was WAY outside her job’s description making a public pronouncement of this scare tactic type— but a loyal member of the cabal running the continuing Coup.
Her name Nancy Messonier, MD (nee’ Rosenstein).
Now her brother is working for the same lawfare lawfirm in Atlanta that gave us chris wray, and also has brought in Gina Haspel (fmr ceee eye ehhh director). A spook sinecure and haven. Mueller, of course is Boston connected- was the Federal DA there who “partnered” with Irish mobster Whitey Bulger to rat out the Italian mob and frankly kill leaders there. Mueller made good on Whitey by getting him killed at 83 moving him to a hellhole WV federal prison.
The data points all link up in this team of ages ago cabal to defend their way of life-— on our nickel and without our approval, We the People.
This is why the GOP has us by the short hairs. They know we need them for a majority, which they can piss away any time they want.
There is no way Trump can “drain the swamp” alone - he absolutely needs a Congressional majority - a super-majority with a mandate - which even if he wins the election, he won’t have. More likely, the feckless GOP will ensure the Democrats control both chambers, which means Trump will be impeached again.
Sorry to be so negative about it but Trump will be fought every step of the way by his own bureaucracy as he tries to reign in the executive, by a legislature determined to impeach him, and by a judiciary happy to bleed his legal efforts out.
We really needed to “primary” a lot more RINOs in the interim. It’s hard because the snakes run as MAGA/AF, but then come out as establishmentarians when it matters most, by which time they are entrenched until they strategically retire to throw the chamber back to the Dems. Is that not exactly what happened in 2016, when he did have a solid majority but Ryan and 40 of his pals just left Congress before the 2018 election? It’s really too late now to fix that. So it will be what it will be. Still better than if the cadaver or the word salad generator remain in power. A tragedy delayed, but not averted.
