No one who matters gives a f**k about these rent-a-shill c*nts and their command hallucinatory allegations.
The president-elect appointed someone? Unless you have video proof of them with a dead girl or a live boy, no one else should GAF either. It's background noise, and we aren't playing by their rules any more.
Ultimately, if his picks aren't confirmed, Trump should fire everyone he can at that agency/department, step in himself, and send everyone else there home on unpaid leave until his choices are confirmed. Let it grind to a screeching halt.
We can get to less government by January 21st, 2025 that way, and the screams would penetrate 30' of reinforced concrete in 0.2 seconds.
On January 22nd, if they still don't get it, he should start closing every federal office and building in every Democrat's district and state, including the Post Office. If that means moving entire military commands out to other bases/states, so be it. Call it a deployment readiness exercise.
By Day Three, all his picks would be confirmed, 100-0.
You play ball with the Donald, or you get the bat shoved up your @$$. With barbed wire embedded in the business end.
He should have taught them that lesson by Day Two of his first term, but it's never too late to readjust their perspective on "Who run Bartertown?"
This kind of realpolitik isn't pretty. It's f***ing beautiful.
Personally, I'd start with Adam Schiff-head, and start pulling the military out of their CA bases at 0001 hours on January 22nd next year, until further notice, and put every government contract hereabouts on indefinite hold. Including redeploying the entire Coast Guard currently in the state, and all air traffic controllers, out of the state entirely. The Navy would be told to anchor in international waters, and every other swinging Richard would be removed from the state NLT midnight, same day.
Schiff-head would find out where his bread was buttered before the morning paper hit his doorstep the next morning, and that would be the end of that, at warp speed.
Grab the Senate by the pussy.
And take notes on who started this crap, and pay them back every single day, until they cry and beg for mercy. Then kick them while they're down. In the crotch.
Remember this scene in Raiders of the Lost Ark?:
Marion Ravenwood:"I can be reasonable!"
Major Toht, waving a red hot poker "That time is passed."
Ravenwood: "Wait! I'll tell you everything!"
Toht, basking in the glow of that poker "Yes. I know you will."
That needs to be every single day of the coming administration, until their biggest fear is drawing Trump's attention, let alone his ire.
Elections have consequences. Losing this one means the party out of power gets to suck it, hard, every single day, until they learn to suck less. If that's even possible.
"It is better to be feared than loved, if you cannot have both."
