“First, I will immediately reissue my 2020 executive order restoring the president’s authority to remove rogue bureaucrats, and I will wield that power very aggressively.
“Second, we will clean out all of the corrupt actors in our national security and intelligence apparatus, and there are plenty of them. The departments and agencies that have been weaponized will be completely overhauled so that faceless bureaucrats will never again be able to target and persecute conservatives, Christians, or the left’s political enemies, which they’re doing now at a level that nobody can believe even possible.
“Third, we will totally reform FISA courts, which are so corrupt that the judges seemingly do not care when they are lied to in warrant applications. So many judges have seen so many applications that they know were wrong or at least they must have known. They do nothing about it.
“Fourth, to expose the hoaxes and abuses of power that have been tearing our country apart, we will establish a truth and reconciliation Commission to declassify and publish all documents on deep state spying, censorship, and corruption, and there are plenty of them.
“Fifth, we will launch a major crackdown on government leakers who collude with the fake news to deliberately weave false narratives to subvert our government and our democracy. When possible, we will press criminal charges.
“Sixth, we will make every inspector general’s office independent and physically separated from the departments they oversee so they do not become the protectors of the deep state.
“Seventh, I will ask Congress to establish an independent auditing system to continually monitor our intelligence agencies to ensure they are not spying on our citizens or running disinformation campaigns against the American people or that they are not spying on someone’s campaign like they spied on my campaign.
“Eight, we will continue the effort launched by the Trump administration to move parts of the sprawling federal bureaucracy to new locations outside the Washington swamp just as I moved the Bureau of Land Management to Colorado. As many as 100,000 government positions could be moved out, and I mean immediately of Washington to places filled with patriots who love America, and they really do love America.
“Ninth, I will work to ban federal bureaucrats from taking jobs at the companies they deal with and that they regulate. So they deal with these companies, and they regulate these companies, and then they want to take jobs from these companies. It doesn’t work that way. Such, a public display cannot go on, and it’s taking place all the time, like with big pharma.
“Finally [Tenth], I will push a constitutional amendment to impose term limits on members of Congress. This is how I will shatter the deep state and restore government that is controlled by the people and for the people.”

It’s cute that he thinks there’s some chance of overcoming The Big Steal, after standing there with his jaw hanging as all the people he didn’t purge in 2017 stole the election right before his eyes.
When he starts promising guillotines and mass executions, at least he’ll finally have his head in the right place to do what must be done. Until then, he’s smoking hopeium, and imagining 2025 as if was 2017.
At least Trump is willing to state what needs to be done rather than pretending “guillotines and mass executions” are going to occur. They might be desired but they will not happen, and you will not be a participant.
“all the people he didn’t purge in 2017”
Exactly how do you purge those people that were all at state level and how did you know who they were to perform the purge?
And why have you not performed said purge in your state?
Trump wasn’t hamstrung by “state level” assholes.
He kept many of Obozo’s butt-boys, and to a man, they all back-stabbed him.
Many of his own picks were as bad or worse, starting with Pence, and Mattis, and both his worthless shiftless AGs.
Trump shot himself in the foot, repeatedly, with shitty personnel decisions.
The only thing he got right in 4 years was federal judges, from district level to SCOTUS, but damned near every single executive branch position he filled was an abortion inside of a dumpster fire aboard a flaming 747 after the wings fell off.
He’s the only candidate worth voting for, because he makes all the right people frothingly mad, but voting isn’t going to fix this.
And short of guillotines and mass executions, this continues the descent from banana republic to full-on Stalinist nightmare.
Anybody preaching anything else is high on happy gas and hopeium. The point at which this tub of shit could have been pulled over, the fire put out, and the hulk salvaged, is a good distance in the rear view mirror.
Suppose he gets re-elected, just for argument’s sake, in service of the fantasy.
He’s got to disband root and branch the FBI and CIA on Day One. By Day Two, every general officer and most of the colonel-level officers in every branch would have to be fired. Along with getting rid of the entire 69th Intersectional Dildo Brigade pink- and blue-haired members in every branch, and kicking them so hard their asses don’t hit pavement for 300 yards after clearing the gate via dropkick at 200 military bases.
Then court-martialing anyone left who uttered so much as a peep about it.
Day Three would be to gut most of the federal bureaucracy, starting at the DoJ, and revoking the policing powers and armed status of damned near every agency but the US Marshalls and CBP.
By Day Four, he’d have to shut down all immigration indefinitely, and issue shoot on sight orders for all illegal crossers, then begin round-ups and forcible deportation of the first million illegals.
Before Friday, he’d have to start picking off members of Congress for open treason and sedition, and start throwing the guilty in cages pending batch trials.
Just the fallout from that first week would then occupy the rest of his final term in office, and we haven’t even gotten to Treasury, the IRS, and money printers running 24/7/365.
Even if he could accomplish that, this still likely ends like these things always do: financial collapse, the violent bloody revolution, and since we’re wishing for miracles, some semblance of a miraculously free republic again. After a probable world war that makes the last one look like batting practice.
Wish in one hand, and crap in the other, and tell me which one fills up first.
And it’s not in his DNA, but if Trump were serious, his opening statement should begin with “I totally miscalculated how entrenched the Deep State poison runs, and totally blew my duties right out my ass by not paying closer attention to the problems I now see as obvious, by kissing up to the Uniparty, rather than firing 10,000 people on Day One last time around, for which I apologize to the American people..”
“… his opening statement should begin with…”
He’s just said it, just worded a bit different.
“Trump wasn’t hamstrung by “state level” assholes.”
It was state level assholes that stole the election as it is states that count and return results.
“Trump shot himself in the foot, repeatedly, with shitty personnel decisions.”
This is true. OTOH, not you, nor I, nor anyone else could have done any better. And that is a fact. As an example, I didn’t know Sessions was what he is, nor did you.
I don’t know what is going to happen, but if Trump finds himself once again in office I suspect this time around he will be a tad bolder. His eyes are a bit more open now, as are everyone else’s.
Sessions dithered for years, and the fact he should have been shitcanned was obvious years before he left.
Comey is in the same boat.
Both of those two assclowns, or their replacements, were the exact ones who should have been going after states trying to illegally change election rules, and doing so proactively and aggressively, but it turns out the whole Justice Dept. kit and kaboodle was sabotaging his every move from Day One.
From your lips to God’s ears about Trump finally getting a clue here, but Trump’s eyes aren’t open enough until he starts making fists and winding up.
I’m talking mass arrests within hours of taking the oath the second time, and indictments by the hundreds, should he ever again have the chance to do so.
Personally, my money’s on Flying Pigs beating that wish across the finish line, followed closely by Civil War, and Rivers Of Blood for the trifecta.
“Personally, my money’s on…”
I wouldn’t bet against that…
It sounds quite good, but to imagine the Swamp-critter hordes will just stand idly by while Trump strips them of their power, prestige, and ill-gotten gains is a pipe-dream. He’d need the full-throated, unwavering support of freedom-loving Americans–millions of them, all willing to brave any hazard, endure any hardship, and offer any sacrifice in reclaiming their stolen nation–to have even the proverbial snowball’s chance of pulling it off. Sadly, I’m far from confident that there are that many of those left.
I don’t expect success. I don’t even expect them to allow Trump back in office to be honest. I think far too many are willing to sit on their ass and do nothing.
Trump is not a a savior. He is a leader. He can lead us into turning the country around. But it is up to us.
There will not be a savior. There has never been one. Not Washington, not Patton, not Nimitz, not Eisenhower. They were leaders, but the hard work, the dirty work, that’s always for us.
Ankle biters abound. They can always tell you what Trump should have done, they just couldn’t tell you how or who at the time. They are real good Monday morning QB’s. Pay them no attention, they always lose.
Right now, at this time, there are few willing, very few standing up against the bastards. Trump is the only one at that level. A rung down we find Musk and Carlson among a handful of others. But only Trump is braving the threat of jail or assassination. That is not nothing.
I admire the determination of Christians in the Colosseum at Rome in the first century AD resolving to taste very bad, but that didn’t do anything about their lion problem.
Trump is a self-made martyr.
We don’t need a martyr; we need a realist.
Likely, we will get no such thing.
After that 2020 executive order, how many “rogue bureaucrats” did he actually remove? There were no shortage of options.
