New via WashPost — The White House late Friday fired the independent inspectors general of at least 12 major federal agencies in a purge that could clear the way for President Donald Trump to install loyalists.

End snip.

The agencies include the departments of defense, state, transportation, veterans affairs, housing and urban development, interior, and energy, the newspaper said.

How does he explain the country can run effectively without these departments with qualified and experienced employees?

It is already ugly and it is probably going to be much worse very soon. The Fascists are taking over. Our best hope is that there are some (many) in the military and federal law enforcement that will not take illegal orders from Trump and his MAGA Fascist thugs. We need people who are loyal to the Constitution and not Trump to stay in federal service and resist.

10. Trump's Goal

The goal of Trump is just power, chaos, and destruction. It is important to note that it is not just Trump. He is surrounded by MAGA fanatics and Project 2025 operatives. I guarantee you that some of these are sophisticated fascists and covert operatives that are steering Trump in the direction that they want him to go. There is no way that Trump even knew what an IG was, much less why he should want to get rid of them. The people who planned Project 2025 are now executing that plan and using Trump as a vehicle for the implementation of this Fascist operation. They are enemies of Democracy, America, and the Constitution and they must be stopped. Otherwise I fear that it will soon be a Police State or Civil War.
