Trump just signed order "reclassifying" ~8,000 civil servants so they are easier to fire for political reasons -- this has been in the works since his first term www.govexec.com/workforce/20...

Trump signs order moving thousands of federal employees into Schedule F
Roughly 8,000 career federal employees were stripped of their civil service protections Wednesday, making them effectively at-will employees.

One of the unacknowledged advantages of this awful era is that it's revealing for all to see the putrid connections between great wealth and great power. The intentions of the oligarchs are fully exposed and more blatant than ever. But remember: We outnumber the oligarchs.

1. This is big. It was clear before that SPLC was collecting intelligence on the “Unite the Right” rally in 2017 because of the threat of violence. Now, a new filing from SPLC cites an “Event Alert” the group provided directly to the FBI. This alert undermines the DOJ’s corrupt case.

It’s a neat trick that Trump and his henchmen are pulling with their mafia DOJ. File a bogus frivolous lawsuit that you can never possibly win in a court of law, then have Todd Blanche settle it by paying them millions and potentially billions in taxpayer money. Theft by lawsuit.

Ghislaine Maxwell abused young women & girls alongside Epstein for years. As young as 14. In multiple states. Convicted in a federal court. She belongs behind bars. I’m beyond disgusted that any of our colleagues would suggest a pardon. The real question is why has no one else been convicted?

Oversight members split over whether to pardon Ghislaine Maxwell, committee chair says
The only convicted associate of Jeffrey Epstein has said she would testify to Congress if granted clemency — a power held solely by the president.

Congratulations to photographer Andrew Harnik who has won the White House Correspondents’ Association award for presidential news coverage with one of the greatest Oval Office photos ever captured.
The soulless, sociopathic orange cunt stands in his suit looking bored and devoid of intelligent thought whilst an Oval Office guest is collapsed on the ground behind him. Fellow guests, able to demonstrate more compassion than the pedo protector has ever mustered in his entire miserable existence, are helping the collapsed man. The photo captures the insipid, disdain Trump holds for any other human being not permanently kissing his fat, wrinkly ass. At least today is one day closer to his death.
