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.

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.

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.

“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. “

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.

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.

The Department of Energy is proposing new energy conservation standards for new household gas and electric cooking devices, some of which have never been subject to federal efficiency standards. DOE's proposed rule-making, published Wednesday, follows the recent political frenzy over the fate of gas stoves that was ignited after a federal regulator at the Consumer Product Safety Commission said his agency could ban them to reduce indoor air pollution.

Joe Biden announced on the campaign trail a couple of years ago that he intended to nominate a black woman to the Supreme Court. The White House re-affirmed that intention yesterday in the wake of confirmed rumors of Justice Stephen Breyer’s imminent retirement. It’s not that Biden has a particular nominee in mind who just happens to be a black woman. No, it’s that being a black woman is the main criteria. This is not unprecedented for Biden.

WASHINGTON — Pete Buttigieg, the transportation secretary who holds the purse strings to much of President Joe Biden’s $1 trillion infrastructure package, was holding forth with reporters on its impact — the promise of more electric cars, intercity train routes, bigger airports — when a pointed question came. How would he go about building racial equity into infrastructure? The 39-year-old former mayor of South Bend, Indiana, and 2020 Democratic presidential candidate laid out his argument that highway design can reflect racism, noting that at least $1 billion in the bill will help reconnect cities and neighborhoods that had been racially segregated or divided by road projects. CORRECTIONS*

There were two horrifying mass shootings recently, but our media are fixated on only one — the one in El Paso, Texas — because the shooter, Patrick Crusius, issued a “manifesto” that contained some of the same arguments made by Trump about illegal immigration.

An ABC panel on Sunday openly discussed Joe Biden, the most popular president in US history, stepping aside and being replaced by another Democrat after a new NYT poll shows Trump leading in 5 crucial swing states. The media has been given the green light to throw Joe Biden in the trash can. Joe Biden is currently lagging behind Trump in five of the six most crucial battleground states as the 2024 election approaches, according to new polls by The New York Times and Siena College. It turns out Americans aren’t happy with persistent inflation, high gas prices (Bidenomics) and wars/rumors of wars, military-aged males invading the southern border.

The Biden administration reportedly would not sell weapons to Israel unless the country guaranteed that guns would not be given to civilians. In other words, they are now trying to force their gun control desires into foreign policy issues. As many people have pointed out, a large portion of the Israeli’s who died in the October 7th attack were not armed, which made the situation much worse than it could have been.

The American Medical Association (AMA) will debate whether to reverse its stance on assisted suicide this month at its next interim meeting. A set of resolutions, proposed by AMA’s Resident and Fellow section, suggest the AMA should abandon its opposition to assisted suicide, adopting instead a neutral stance on the practice. The resolutions also propose changing the official language from “assisted suicide” to “medical aid in dying” (MAID) at the meeting,[Snip] These proposals, if adopted, fundamentally change the AMA’s position on assisted suicide. The AMA determined in its last policy deliberations that assisted suicide is “fundamentally incompatible with the physician’s role as healer.”

Ohio voters approved a ballot measure Tuesday night that will effectively outlaw any restrictions on abortion and other procedures that involve reproduction, including gender-transition surgeries. The measure, known as Issue 1, will also remove parental-consent and notification requirements for minors who undergo the procedures. The amendment includes vague language about prohibiting any law that “directly or indirectly” would “burden” or “interfere” with “reproductive decisions.” Opponents of the measure argue it would also outlaw nearly any restrictions on abortion or other reproduction-related procedures,

Special counsel Jack Smith's team filed a lengthy response Monday to former President Donald Trump's motions to dismiss his federal election interference case on statutory and constitutional grounds, saying the former president "stands alone in American history for his alleged crimes." Trump's lawyers have filed multiple motions to dismiss the Jan. 6 case, including mounting arguments that the charges brought against him were unconstitutionally applied and ran afoul of the charging statutes. Trump in August pleaded not guilty to charges of undertaking a "criminal scheme" to overturn the results of the 2020 election by enlisting a slate of so-called "fake electors," using the Justice Department to conduct "sham election crime investigations,"

The entire Democratic political establishment freaked out on Sunday morning when the New York Times published a story headlined, "Trump Leads in 5 Critical States as Voters Blast Biden, Times/Sienna Poll Finds." The story was based on a new survey in which voters in six key swing states — Georgia, Arizona, Pennsylvania, Michigan, Wisconsin, and Nevada — were asked whether they supported President Joe Biden or former President Donald Trump in a 2024 matchup. The result: In five of those states, all except Wisconsin, Trump led Biden. The poll found Trump leading by 10 points in Nevada, by 6 in Georgia, 5 in Arizona and Michigan, and 4 in Pennsylvania
