CPAC Wants The Power To Fire All Government Employees—Including The FBI - TPM – Talking Points Memo

What a difference a few weeks can make. Inspired by the FBI’s violation of Donald Trump’s safe space, the loudest MAGA warriors have gone very public with something that looks for all the world like a sudden, keen interest in criminal justice reform. “DEFUND THE FBI” Marjorie Taylor Greene squawked shortly after agents raided Mar-a-Lago in search of classified documents. It was a sentiment echoed by other newly-minted SJWs such as Candace Owens, Paul Gosar, and Dinesh D’Souza. Trump himself complained about the agency profusely, harkening back to the days of J. Edgar Hoover before making an abrupt right turn into his own list of personal grievances. Aren’t these the same people who demanded we Back the Blue?

Frist.

On our way to jack-booted thugs.

Banana Republic? Here we come. Not for fancy clothes, but for an authoritarian police state.

I do hear Banana Republic has a nice selection of brown shirts . . .

If this doesn’t make you fear for the country then you are one of them.

Well, of course.
Agencies and officials whose work, actions, plans and job descriptions don’t conform to the directives of the Party Secretariat need to be removed, at the least.

Now, where I can I go to get the jodhpurs and jack boots?

The RW has gone so far off the sanity road they will throw anything out to their ravenous supporters. This is a live example of a political group imploding. Yes, there will be scattered violence, yes RW foaming at the mouth will commence but they are dying as they grab for our ankles.

So they want to fire all federal employees and replace them with MAGATS?

Hmm wonder how many MAGATS want to clean toilets in the Capitol?

No, I don’t fear for the country because right wing crazies at a convention of their true believers say crazy stuff. They want us to become afraid, don’t let crazy strangers occupy our heads. They certainly won’t occupy mine.

What they obviously want is an America in which the right can do whatever it wants. The law will only be enforced against the left, never the right.

Will people (voters) see this?

Rick Scott and any in the TFG Party are recalcitrant regarding the privilege of $400,000 per year earners to pay little or no taxes. Instead, the want to keep that load squarely on the middle class. Apparently this is great political strategy?

I’d also ask where do they go to get snarling, slobbering attack dogs, but you wouldn’t know because you’ve got the most adorable, gentle breed of dog I’ve ever had the pleasure of living with. Go pup! Arf!

When they get elected, maybe then, we can talk.

Until then, just keep running at the mouth with ridiculous ideas like this one, which your opposition will be only too happy to make an important piece of their stump speeches in their campaigns against you.

Keep running at the mouth, though. Makes the Dems’ job a whole lot easier.

Unfortunately many Dems are prone to fear porn. What we see now with the RW is death by a thousand cuts. They are going down but trying to maintain their grift for as long as possible.

I think the folks in Kansas might disagree with you a bit. I’m seeing a whole lot more anger than fear among the sane.

I certainly hope so, and whatever corruption has infected the these right wingers, I hope it is terminal.

Why does the GOP hate the US?

The rampant and violent politicization of our institutions by the GOP is much more than mere disgrace.

It is treason in the broadest sense.

You know who else is covering crazy CPACers? No one. The author of this article covers right wing politics, “concentrates primarily on politics and the far right”, so there’s that.

I doubt it. Kansas is standing up and that is great but it doesn’t mean there isn’t fear porn circulating, trying to deflate the people supporting choice. There is always fear lurking in the shadows trying to eat away at progress. Doesn’t mean we have to let it win.
