Proving that irony was long ago beaten to death with a shovel in a dimly lit corner of a Cracker Barrel parking lot, Donald Trump, who has frequently groused about the politicization of the DOJ and FBI because they’ve had the temerity to investigate him, is now hoping to install his own toadies in federal law enforcement so he can never be investigated. But don’t call that politicization! After all, how can a guy who knows virtually nothing about politics politicize something? This could be more accurately described as “greasing the skids for fascism with the freshly harvested ass tallow of Dear Leader’s enemies.”
A new report from Rolling Stone reveals that Trump is plotting behind the scenes to ensure that his second term (sorry, I should have said something in the lede, or maybe the headline, about fetching a vomit pail) will be free of irksome impediments like common decency and “the law.”
Indeed, he’s looking to compile an enemies list of FBI and Justice Department employees who, for some reason, still prefer to honor their constitutional oaths instead of a shambolic, constipated oaf. And, like Nixon before him, he’s not going to simply allow traitors to their country pumpkin-spiced poobah to run amok in government.
