The Top 40

Seize all of their hard drives. Yesterday wouldn't be too soon.

If the article is even close, Trump might get a toofer, i.e. drive down the regulatory burden and drive off some activist federal employees. As a deal maker, he ought to like a toofer.

Hopefully Carter's Department of Education next. Fifty billion dollars a year for absolutely nothing. Not a soul on this planet knows exactly what all those space and money wasting bureaucrats there actually do.

Jesus Christ, this is, like, the best Christmas ever.

My ol' gray haired uncle used to say, "Teach a kid to read then get the hell out of their way."

For them that don't want to learn to read - strap em to the wheel until their attitude adjusts accordingly.

There are a couple of things that could be done overnight.
Give the Inspector Generals of each Fed Agency the assurance that you will back them.

Review the data that you have of all government employee usage of the web and go after every instance of every visit to a child porn web site with felony charges- no plea bargains, seeking maximum jail time, none of the pension bullshit etc.

Next, do the same with all govt users of porn sites- charge is theft of government property no bargains etc etc.

None of the sane Americans could argue with this, and those who do argue have clearly identified themselves as the next group to get a good hard looking at.

Believe there were a few IG positions left unfilled throughout this administration. Like they didn't want accountability,or something.

I recall that St Ronnie the Fraudulent when campaigning vowed to dismantle all those agencies, and more.

He increased their budgets instead.

Don't hold your breath.

Hey, itor the aggrieved! Almost everyone on this board remembers Reagan's era, his reforms, and the huge whooping he gave federal regulations. We also remember the congress he was handed.

Perhaps you're unaware of the fact that Trump will be coming into office with both houses under Republican control. Buckle-up, buttercup. All hands, please stand by.

No offense, Casey, but Republican control of Congress just doesn't fill conservatives with confidence anymore. It is better than a poke in the eye with a sharp Democrat.

I completely understand, James.

Putting Priebus in as CS indicates to me that Trump has a lot of convincing to do.

The whole thing is an exercise in how badly each party was damaged by this election. The dems are, I hope, in such disarray that they may not recover. Right now, they are plunging further to the left, which is in no way logical.

The GOPe is also forever changed, but I agree with you that they are dyed in the wool and may need some extra fixing. After all, we cut off the rattlesnake's head before we bury him, don't we?

Putting Brietbart's Bannon on the one hand, and Priebus on the other, seems an intelligent and tactically aggressive move. I'm buckled up.

I would hope that the FBI has tears of joy, the cockles of their hearts warming, and is preparing to roll out the red carpet instead of "bracing" for President Trump.
