Donald Trump and his allies have begun mapping out specific plans for using the federal government to punish critics and opponents should he win a second term, with the former president naming individuals he wants to investigate or prosecute and his associates drafting plans to potentially invoke the Insurrection Act on his first day in office to allow him to deploy the military against civil demonstrations.

Is this really from the Babylon Bee. Hahaha.
BTW, I'm not clicking on a WaPo article.

Quick impressions:
First, I won't click on WaPo.
Second, it took at least three authors to write this?
Third, the projection runs deep in their world.
Fourth, what kind of drugs do they use at the WaPo?

Fire all of them. Any you can't fire, assign to count the boxes in a warehouse in Nome, Alaska if you must keep them on the payroll. When done with the count, do a recount. Endlessly.
Just keep the leftist bureaucrats far from the levers of power.
Rewriting the Civil Service Act would be a very good move, too. It should be easy to fire them for any malfeasance.

We must believe this because everyone knows how close and friendly WaPo writers are with the Trump staff. (Sarc/off)

Also not clicking on WP. I like the idea about Nome Alaska assignments but I fear for the safety of Alaskans. I’d suggest the Justice Dept. lifers be sent to count toilet paper rolls in our offices in Gaza, Beirut and Tehran.

Until recently, I would have considered this unethical. But now, it's just the gloves coming off. I hope he skins them alive and salts their wounds.

“It would resemble a banana republic if people came into office and started going after their opponents willy-nilly,” said Saikrishna Prakash, a constitutional law professor...
Whaaaaaa?????? We became a banana stinkin republic when yer hero Black Jack Barak turned the worlds most powerful spy org against its own citizens! BJ Barak then established a secret spy panel against his successor, dedicated to hounding him from office and demolishing the peaceful transition of power.
IF President Trump takes office again he will in fact pluck those rotting bananas off the tree of liberty and restore this great country to freedom. If he does not, I have no idea what will happen to us, once we are left to the designs of authors such as these and the witless sources they quote.

They seem to be saying something analogous to: “I hit Trump with a 2 by 4 and then Trump took it away from me and wanted me punished for hitting Trump You’re just seeking revenge, orange man. You’re bad, orange man. “

Washington Post! Didn't this American version of Pravda just lose $100 million this year and start mass layoffs? Guess they still haven't learned their lesson. Let's not forget that weasel Jeff Bezos funds this communist propaganda garbage. One day the communist death democrats will come for him and his wealth as when they run out of everyone else's money.

They're worried because they know the rules they came up with to persecute their "enemies" are now going to be used against them.

Take the headline, so a search, and you'll find article at any of many other new sites.
These writers are describing, in euphemistic terms, a President investigating Criminal acts
that have been committed by current & former officials in the Federal Government.
Gonna be a long list, and lots of additional defense attorneys needed the DC araa.
Should look at turning some unused Federal Office buildings into termporary prisons & jails,
preferably in VA, not Federal District or MD.

Trump wants to empty the trash.
Some may call it revenge, but what it is , is getting rid of the people who are destroying America.

I said it the first time he was elected, on the very first day, he should have sent Marshals into every office occupied by an appointed democrat and had them marched out, in their underwear, without cellphones, computers, notebooks, data packs or security clearance badges....and I'll say it again..

It's retribution rather than revenge. The commies rightly fear retribution. The DOJ and other TLAs should be purged, along with the personnel department who didn't do background checks on all the commies that have been inserted wholesale into the fedgov since the Clintonista regime.

Do you really think that PDT is going to display his trump cards before the election?
He is revealing what he will do to restore the US to win the election.
(Don't drug dealers have to forfeit their money and property on conviction? Yup, let the guilty forfeit their property, money AND federal pensions.)

This is rich coming from WaPo, which provides cover for Obama and his demented puppet Biden. Who weaponized the DOJ?? Obama.
