I watched a few video clips today.\u00a0 There were a few highlights.\u00a0 Justin Trudeau did his sad face and said he will resign his office as PM in March.\u00a0 Oh, boo, hoo.\u00a0 Very sad, too bad.<\/p>\n
And then I saw that sideshow with a smiling Kamala next to Speaker Johnson as she read out the numbers on her Electoral College loss to Donald Trump in the November election.\u00a0 Yay, Kamala!\u00a0 You go girl!\u00a0 Brat Summer Kamala, woo hoo!\u00a0 That\u2019s the fun way to imagine a future of winning unencumbered by pathetic present-day failure.<\/p>\n
So that\u2019s the four-year anniversary of J6.\u00a0 Well, that\u2019s a pretty good day.\u00a0 I guess it could have been better.\u00a0 Maybe Joe Biden wandering into a jet engine or off a parapet.\u00a0 But it will definitely do.\u00a0 So that will be the last of J6 for the rest of eternity.\u00a0 Well, not quite.\u00a0 We can expect some Congressional investigations that may end up in Kash Patel\u2019s lap to prosecute.\u00a0 But that\u2019s a story for another day.\u00a0 Let\u2019s just say there won\u2019t be any more anniversaries on the news.<\/p>\n
When I think about what the next few months will be like I\u2019m guessing most of what we\u2019ll see will be the Senate cabinet approval hearings.\u00a0 And the captured media will broadcast the likes of Adam Schiff, Bernie Sanders, Elizabeth Warren and Chuck Schumer grandstanding rumors and slander against all of the Trump nominees.\u00a0 That\u2019s only to be expected.<\/p>\n
But it makes me wonder what kind of strategy is being formulated by the principals in meetings with Trump right now.\u00a0 After all, time is short and there\u2019s a lot to do.\u00a0 Hopefully they\u2019ve long ago assembled long lists of government employees based on either actual crime against the American people or responsibility for divisions or areas of the bureaucracy where crimes were committed.<\/p>\n
As an example, if I were Kash Patel I\u2019d search out the documents that declared that white men made up the most dangerous terrorist threat to the United States and get all the names associated with that decision.\u00a0 Then these people could be brought into the Senate and made to testify.\u00a0 And they would have to provide some factual basis for these pronouncements.\u00a0 Of course, at the end of the whole thing they\u2019d be fired for sure.\u00a0 But toying with them would be fun.\u00a0 It would be sort of like the show trials that Stalin and his boys used to put on in Moscow.\u00a0 Who knows?\u00a0 Some of them might even name names when tempted by the hope (false of course) of saving their jobs.\u00a0 Maybe they\u2019d give up Wray or Garland.\u00a0 But either way it would be fun.<\/p>\n
If Trump wanted to really increase his popularity, he could go back to his reality tv roots and set up a weekly program on X or Truth Social or wherever, on which he provided a running tally of how much money he had saved the US government by firing bureaucrats.\u00a0 And he could highlight the show with a profile of some especially over-paid leech that also had caused some particularly egregious harm to the American public.\u00a0 I want to nominate Rachel Levine as the stand out for week 1.\u00a0 This eye sore has been a boil on the neck of this country ever since it was first announced he would be donning the skirt and wig as United States Assistant Secretary for Health in the Department of Health and Human Services.\u00a0 And just to add insult to injury he is now an \u201cadmiral\u201d somehow.<\/p>\n
Trump could reuse his \u201cYou\u2019re fired\u201d tagline but instead of calling the show, \u201cThe Apprentice,\u201d he could call it, \u201cThe Ejected.\u201d\u00a0 Maybe he can have a graphic that shows the victim being launched from his office chair and follow a trajectory that lands somewhere novel each week.\u00a0 One day it could be into the ocean or maybe a shark tank, another time it could be one of those industrial scale wood chippers, the ones you can throw a whole redwood into.\u00a0 Now of course no one would actually be harmed but think of how much fun it would be imagining it.<\/p>\n
Well, as you can see, I\u2019m letting my imagination get the best of me.\u00a0 But that\u2019s what it\u2019s like before Trump takes office.\u00a0 Later on, the reality of the constraints that government puts on the president will sink in.\u00a0 But for now, it\u2019s Rachel Levine in a trajectory headed for the moon.\u00a0 How sweet it is!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
