Chauncey Devega, writing in Salon.com about the Malignant Fascist's "shock therapy" for America. We would say it's not therapy; it's an attack on America:
"Trump has only been president for two months. In that time, his administration has fired, laid off, or otherwise forced or bought out tens of thousands of federal government employees. This has been done directly through buyouts, retirements and terminations. Trump has also reduced the workforce indirectly by eliminating or hollowing out entire departments, offices and agencies. The courts have intervened and deemed that some of these terminations are likely illegal (for example the executive order eliminating probationary federal employees) because they violate due process and other statutes, procedures and regulations. If Trump follows through on his goal of reducing the size of the federal government by 50 percent this will mean eliminating at least one million jobs.
Trump is doing this for both ideological reasons (to remove federal employees and career civil servants who are loyal to the rule of law, democracy, the Constitution and the public good) and to destroy the American people’s faith in the very idea of government as a force for good and positive freedom. The ultimate goal: to cement Trump’s autocratic rule and remove potential opposition. Trump is also driven by personal self-interest. The public money that is spent on federal employees and government services will be given to the very richest Americans and corporations. Donald Trump would greatly benefit from that outcome. This is the very definition of a moral hazard." (our emphasis)
It will continue to get worse. It's likely that the MF will disregard court orders that are piling up against him, blocking this agenda. He's a free range predator now, with a supine "opposition" and a loyal MAGAt Congress and a judiciary that hasn't held him accountable so far. Hang on and resist.
