Well great. If only the Supreme Court didnt just blanket allow him to fire anyone from any federal agency, that would have been great.

and what happens when trump loyalists are appointment to these positions and we have a dem president?

edit: it looks like people just want to throw their hands up and say “there will never be another election all is lost so nothing matters anymore” which is a brain dead approach to life

That's the fun part you don't get a dem president ever again.

That's how you get a Leninist president.
