The asshats who cheer this kind of policy typically fail to remember that the only requirement their ancestors had to meet was to not be obviously tubercular.
Gosh, I’m so glad the Berniebros and Steinbots stood up for their principles and didn’t allow themselves to be blackmailed into considering the effect of a Rethuglican administration on the Federal courts.
On day one of my presidency, I will take aggressive steps to root out the corruption and incompetence of the Trump administration and to hold that administration accountable. I will: Remove all political appointees. Rooting out the corruption in our government starts with wiping the slate clean on political appointments. Donald Trump gave influential, high-ranking positions to his donors, friends, and political allies. I will ask for the resignations of all political appointees, including U.S. Attorneys, save only those positions necessary to preserve continuity and protect national security during the transition period. Prevent political appointees from burrowing into career positions. The law outlines clear rules that help prevent political appointees from circumventing standard hiring practices and “burrowing” into the government by converting from a political appointment into a career position. I will strengthen enforcement of rules around conversion from appointed positions to career civil service to root out officials who attempt to burrow into agencies.Establish a Justice Department Task Force to investigate corruption during the Trump administration and to hold government officials accountable for illegal activity. Donald Trump has run the most corrupt administration in history. He was impeached for withholding foreign aid in an effort to try to benefit his re-election campaign. He has enriched himself and his business through the power of his office. And there are public reports of potentially illegal corruption in every corner of his administration. If we are to move forward to restore public confidence in government and deter future wrongdoing, we cannot simply sweep this corruption under the rug in a new administration. That’s why I will direct the Justice Department to establish a task force to investigate violations by Trump administration officials of federal bribery laws, insider trading laws, and other anti-corruption and public integrity laws, and give that task force independent authority to pursue any substantiated criminal and civil violations. I have also committed to establishing a task force to investigate accusations of serious violations by immigration officials during the Trump era. Review the performance of independent agencies and remove leading officials for cause where there is justification to do so. For good reason, the heads of independent agencies can only be removed for cause -- for example, if they neglect their duties or engage in malfeasance while in office. My administration will review these agencies and determine whether any of these agency heads warrant removal for cause -- and I will not hesitate to use my for-cause removal authority if the facts justify it.
RESTORING INTEGRITY AND COMPETENCE TO GOVERNMENT AFTER TRUMP
Remember that Russians also hacked DNC logistics and attempted to breach all 50 voter databases. So they knew exactly what resources the DNC was going to throw at Michigan. No one has admitted a data breach yet, but it would be easy to change a few apostrophes and middle initials and apartment numbers so voter data would get flagged by Crosscheck and the vote denied.Plus don't forget the thousands of presidential undervotes in Detroit and Flint.
Is that the "Midnight Special" dude?
Yeah, we are on the f**king brink. Vote 2020, we've got to pull us back.

Don't even fucking get me started!

Or if the Senate becomes majority Democratic. Then McTurtle loses his power
The Court isn't even trying to pretend that they are unbiased and fair. In just the last week;
First, they don't rule on the ACA because it was incontinent for the GOP.
Second, they allow cruelty, because cruelty is the only platform left in the GOP.
Same here.
So Stephen Miller spent all that time on the public dime thinking this up?
Tax treaty means Canadian and American pensions still go to you if you live in either country. Minimum number of years, etc, but still nice to know.
Decadence is in full swing for sure...

So strong. So pure. So misunderstood.
