Biden plots to deepen the deep state in a bid to 'thwart' a victorious Trump's capacity to govern -report
2024-02-18
[American Thinker] Peaceful transition of power?

Not on your life with the scheming leftists Bidenites currently entrenched in the White House.

According to Fox News, citing a report from the Associated Press, they are busy as beavers these days, 'bracing' for a second President Trump term, and preparing to 'thwart' his capacity to govern.

The Associated Press report reads:

A collection of activists, advocates and legal experts is promoting new federal rules to limit presidential power while urging Biden’s White House to do more to protect his accomplishments and limit Trump in a possible second term. All of that is happening with far less fanfare than plans by Trump supporters to create a conservative government-in-waiting via an effort known as "Project 2025."

The Office of Personnel Management, the federal government’s chief human resources agency, proposed a rule against reclassifying tens of thousands of workers so they can be more easily fired. According to spokesperson Viet Tran, the office will finalize the rule in April. That means that a future administration would likely have to spend months — or even years — unwinding it if they want to try to do so.
Or President Trump writes an executive order reversing the rule. President Biden did that to a long list of Trump EOs immediately after being sworn into office.
Which is frankly shocking.

Obviously, what the voters want is unimportant. That they elect Trump to clean out this establishment of partisan plotters is of no conscience-twinging importance to them at all as they plot to ensure their permanent power, because in their minds, they have a "divine right" to rule.

"Activists, advocates, legal experts"? This sounds like the same bunch that created the "shadow campaign that saved the 2020 election," in the famous 2021 Time magazine piece by Molly Ball. They did succeed in rigging the election against Trump -- and the voters -- at least once.

#13  Transfer everyone you want to fire to some old air force base in Alaska, where they will work without internet and under strict curfew. Be sure they have twice daily drug and alcohol tests. Use former capital police you want to get rid of to administer the daily strip searches to ensure they steal no classified data. They may resign with loss of all pension benefits.

#12  ^ Ignore all adverse court decisions. Mass transfers to the former NAS Adak, AK. Dismantle every bureau/agency private police force.

#11  It's not that hard. Day one Trump EOs all agencies to stand down from all activity outside the office. Shut down their legal departments so they can't go to court to stop anything. Then clean house while they sit on their hands.

#10  The issue with cleaning house is the spoils system only impacts a low percentage of federal positions. Many government bozos have become as unfirable as Fauci, who is quietly running his same scams.
This next four years will be an ugly tong war to get back control of our government to us. It will not be easy or pretty, but it is a necessary fight that nobody other than Trump is willing and equipped to fight. I have always found Trump’s personality to be abrasive, but I will support him in hopes of saving us from the current system.

#9  Everything should be subject to periodic sunset. No extensions, no re-hiring of previous employees upon re-constitution, if any occurs.

#8  gov't should move to central USA. All agencies should be terminated and reconstituted as necessary. All elections can be conducted by wire using an issued voter id. there is enough storage on my laptop (500 gig) to house 1/5 the population.

#7  We're about to find out who's really important. All it takes is defunding a couple Departments, like the EPA and Energy (neither of which existed before 1970) to suddenly get the peoples attention.

#5  ^And makes a lot of feints. Think for yourself, who's preferable to Russia: a psychotic like collective Biden admin - who can start a nuclear war because they've no understanding that it actually means, or businessman like Trump - who knows that sometimes you win and sometimes you lose.

#4  Number one priority for Trump would be to clean house. Why they always leave holdovers is beyond me. Leaking sensitive information to a hostile media. They gotta go. Like clones of Biden programed idiots.

#3  /\ Most definitely. Calculated moves, against a backdrop of Russian history.

#2  ^Vlad is a chess player, not a football [American] player, Besoeker.

#1  Telling actually. The Deep State strongly senses a Trump landslide, as does nearly everyone else. Their strategy is/has been to lower the boats and scuttle the ship. Blame for failure will be placed on an ailing Biden, his scatterbrained #2, and of course Trump himself.

We were informed during the Carlson interview that Putin supports Biden. This firmly places Vlad among his numerous colleagues in the Washington anti-MAGA, 'never Trump' crowd. Anthony Franks makes that point in successive chapters of his book 'Destroying America.'

Appears Senator Joe McCarthy wasn't wrong, just a bit ahead of his time.

Russian President forever Putin is a product of the Russian intelligence community. Our system is nearly identical. Unelected agents behind the curtain orchestrating a serialization and installment of differing names and faces to satisfy the masses.

Trump will indeed have his hands full cleaning up the mess intentionally left behind.
