Some of Donald Trump’s allies are assembling proposals to curtail the Justice Department’s independence and turn the nation’s top law enforcement body into an attack dog for conservative causes, nine people involved in the effort told Reuters.

“He’s joking.” “You’re taking his words out of context.” “That’s not what he means.”
Trump is completely clear about his plans to overtake our government. If he wins, he very well may become our last president and first dictator.
Liberals and socialists in the US need to arm themselves and prepare to remove the republicans. They will stop at nothing, and neither should we.
Oh no, I can’t imagine the horror of a Justice Department that exists as a political weapon to be wielded against enemies of the US government.

My brother in christ were you not aware of the existence of American cops before today?
Let’s ask MLK Jr and Fred Hampton what they think of the situation…
Ahh… another, “You better vote for Genocide Joe. If you don’t, Genocide Donald is gonna eat ya!” article.
First: flood the Justice Department with stalwart conservatives unlikely to say “no” to controversial orders from the White House. Second: restructure the department so key decisions are concentrated in the hands of administration loyalists rather than career bureaucrats.
So basically do what any President already does.
Overhauling the Justice Department would allow the Trump administration to pursue conservative policy initiatives such as dismantling hiring programs meant to boost diversity in the workplace and ending federal oversight of police departments accused of racist practices.
So… the only change would be that the employee base would disappear if they were standing in front of a white wall. Its not like there’s much the DoJ seems to be able to do to keep the police in check with their “oversight”.
The general counsel provides legal advice to FBI employees regarding ongoing probes and other matters. Closing it would force the bureau to receive legal guidance from people closer to Trump’s attorney general in the chain-of-command and limit the FBI’s ability to conduct investigations without close political oversight, according to several Trump supporters and legal professionals with knowledge of the department’s workings.
Or the FBI agents will just decide they don’t have to ask anybody permission and act freely.
Hope nobody’s paying you for such a miserable trolling attempt! (If they are, whatever it is, they’re paying too much lol)
So when the republican christofascist dictatorship comes, at least you will have a clean conscience, knowing you didn’t vote for preserving satus quo, shitty as it may be. Good for you!
I hope, if you can’t find it in yourself to put a ballot in the urn for the lesser evil, that you can put a bullet in the head of the greater.
Genocide is not a lesser evil, it is the greatest possible evil. It is a moral event horizon, and you will not succeed in your efforts to convince principled communists to damn themselves to hell alongside you.
The christofascist dictatorship is here, you’re the one enabling it by describing it as “status quo”.
ole Genocide joe is sailing this ship into fascism just as fast as any republican
When I read these things I still doubt to myself they can come up with enough loyalists *that do have qualifications for the job. *.
See, the main thing about this subject is that likely are a bunch of election deniers and bottom of the barrel cultists who, by definition are easily influenced by the discourse of the agent orange and NOT the best and brightest employees.
So the risk is double, absolute gridlock on a slow system, enhanced by having as goals only the talking point of the 2025 agenda.
Hell I’m still waiting for the economic plan that will fix removing 3.5% of the GDP removing inmigrants but somehow we will end above of where we are.
The only qualification for the job they need to have is loyalty. Everything else is irrelevant to Trump and the GOP at this point.
Last time he tried having competent and experienced people in positions of power and they told him no on certain things.
They WANT the govt. to be broken so they have an excuse to go full christofascist dictator.

You do not have to be dumb to be evil. I’m not American but I follow the news and you people (and indirectly we all) seem to have a really big problem.
At Justice Alito’s House, a ‘Stop the Steal’ Symbol on Display
An upside-down flag, adopted by Trump supporters contesting the Biden victory, flew over the justice’s front lawn as the Supreme Court was considering an election case.
Oh, no, 100% they will not have the qualifications and will be given the job anyway. Donald’s entire cabinet was comically anti-qualified, it will be like that. Imagine Proud Boys and other Brownshirts running investigations.

I think it would be better to attack him using law enforcement
