Arrest him, and a group of PAtriots will carve him into Mt. Rushmore. Do it.

Read somewhere, on this site I think, that a Presidential Executive Order could eliminate the FBI. Would that were so and Trump would get a chance to do it.

Democrats Overdose on Hopium Heading Into the Mid-Terms

"Have you heard? Democrats have turned things around and are on the path to electoral victory in November. At least that’s the story being spread on social media and among the mainstream media. Even the election analyst bros (i.e. Nate Silver, Nate Cohn, etc.) on Twitter have gotten in on the act by beginning to entertain the idea that Democrats could actually keep the House.

MSNBC published an article on Monday pushing that message. “Republicans’ extremism could set Democrats up nicely for the midterms” the headline blares, offering a case study on what hopium looks like."

"In other words, Democrats are overdosing on false hope bolstered by cherry-picked data that ignores everything we know about how first mid-terms operate. If it were October, perhaps one could make the case Republicans are losing momentum, but it’s August. Proclamations of a Democrat comeback story are extremely premature and overblown. Still, the narrative shift taking place will make the actual results in November all the more hilarious. Nothing will ever match 2016’s election night meltdowns, but this might come close."

Maybe their hopium is based on the idea of stealing rather than winning. They clearly stole at least some of 2020 and probably figure to do it again.

That is not correct.

A sitting President cannot eliminate a department with the stroke of a pen.

Except Barack Obama thought that he could, but he needed a telephone also.

A President can fire federal employees that were appointed by his predecessor, but not those employees that were hired through usual channels except for just cause.  See the Pendleton Act of 1883, William McKinley's executive order of 1887 and the Lloyd-LaFollette Act of 1912.  The latest legislation about the civil service system was the Civil Service Reform Act of 1978.  Like most acts of Congress, it did just the opposite and gave rise to government employee unions.

Will Republicans reform the Department of Justice if they gain a majority?

Fat chance.  Republicans in Congress are either bought and paid for by the Chinese Communist Party, others that like a political police force just fine or are so feckless all they can do is feign indignation during hearings and then return to hide in their offices lest they are criticized by The New York Times and anyone on MSNBC.

However, Republicans will never have a majority in either branch of Congress of be elected President of the United States ever again.

The hippie Marxists proved that they can successfully cheat and no one seems to care, thus, they have no reason to stop cheating.

And listen not to those that claim that it's just those dastardly Assistant Directors that are corrupt political hit-people and that the rank and file FBI agents are decent, honest and serve justice,, not Marx.

Who do you think comprised the 30 or so agents that raided Mr. Trump's residence?  They weren't all D.C.-based Assistant Directors.

They were the hallowed rank and file agents; just like the rank and file police officers that arrested folk for trying to attend church for opposing some governor's whim.

Government employees, by their very nature,  work for and are loyal to the oppressors, not the oppressed.

So, there.

Minneapolis Teachers to Be Laid Off Based on Race
Moonbats bark incessantly about systemic racism. To see how it works in the real world, consider a new agreement reached between the Minneapolis Federation of Teachers and Minneapolis Public Schools:
The agreement states that if a non-white teacher is subject to excess, MPS must excess a white teacher with the “next least” seniority.
To “excess” is to lay off. If a black teacher would normally be laid off, the white teacher with the next least seniority gets laid off instead. Because white people are racist and bad.
The agreement also prioritizes the reinstatement of teachers from “underrepresented populations” over white teachers.
Systemic racism is real. It works in favor of the privileged identity groups the liberal establishment tells us are “oppressed.”
As noted by Hans Bader,
This violates a well-known Supreme Court decision overturning the race-based layoff of a white teacher, and contradicts a well-known federal appeals court decision, which ruled that race-based layoffs of white teachers violate Title VII of the Civil Rights Act. …
Since the teachers union supported the adoption of this discriminatory provision, it may also be liable for discrimination along with the school district. Unions are subject to liability for racial discrimination under Title VII and 42 U.S.C. 1981, see, e.g., Woods v. Graphic Communications (1991), and the Supreme Court has ruled that people who conspire with the government to discriminate can sometimes be sued along with it under the Constitution, see Adickes v. S.H. Kress & Co. (1971).
The race-based layoff provision also violates the law against racial discrimination in contracts, 42 U.S.C. 1981, for essentially the same reasons it violates the Constitution.
Such inconvenient laws and rulings demonstrate why it is so important to progressives to do whatever it takes to put unprincipled apparatchiks like Merrick Garland in charge of the courts, even if it means castrating the Supreme Court with the TERM Act.
