Continuing the Purge

Latest:  The latest casualty in Il Douche's war against government oversight of his criminally corrupt regime is the inspector general selected by a panel of inspector generals--in other words an independent civil servant--to oversee the distribution and use of $2 trillion in pandemic relief.  Glenn Fine was replaced on Monday by the inspector general of a captive agency, the EPA. The replacement apparently is expected to do both jobs, badly. DOD is a the government's largest agency both in terms of personnel and budget.  Fine's removal is the latest in a series of personnel decisions intended to squash any independence in the apparatus of federal government and replace it with slavish sycophants in thrall to the Cult of Trump. The Antichrist is also attacking the IG of Health and Human Services following her report about delays in testing and short supply issues. Criticism of his "fantastically incredible job performance is definitely not allowed by the Anointed One. Senator Schummer, the minority leader, ripped Douche's "corrupt action" and said he is trying to sideline "honest and independent public servants because they are willing to speak truth to power and because he is so clearly afraid of strong oversight."  What was your first clue, Senator?

{05.04.20}The Antichrist in Office continues his purge of civil servants who stood by their public duties over slavish adherence to the Cult of Trump.  Michael Atkinson, the former intelligence inspector general, was fired by Trumpillini on Friday in an attempt to avoid media coverage of the event.  Atkinson was the IG who forwarded the whistle blower complaint about the Ukraine affair to Congress, where it became the basis of an unsuccessful impeachment attempt.  In his statement concerning his dismissal, Atkinson said he was compelled by law to forward the complaint, which turned out to be a highly accurate description of Trumillini's attempted shakedown of the Ukrainian government for help smearing his Democratic rival in the election campaign.

As justification for the dismissal, Trumpillini said that he had "lost confidence" in Atkinson's abilities, and his handling of the complaint against him was "unfair". He told the press, "Not a big Trump fan, "that I can tell you." Both the Very White House and the Barr Department tried for days to prevent the complaint from reaching Congress as required by federal law.  Observers consider this latest purge of perceived 'enemies of Trump' endangers democracy at a time when 'Mericans are frightened out of their minds by the pandemic.

Who will be the next victim of the Antichrist's unrelenting vindictiveness? US Person nominates, the director of the National Institute for Allergy and Infectious Diseases, Dr. Anthony Fauci, who has the impertinence to speak truth to power about the pandemic.  During one of his propaganda broadcasts, the Antichrist restrained Dr. Fauci from answering repeated questions about hydroxchloroquine, the anti-malarial drug touted by the huckster-in-chief as a miracle cure for COVID-19. Dr. Fauci has repeatedly said in public that there is no firm evidence the drug is an effective treatment for COVID-19, and that it has serious side effects.  But Don Douche interrupted Dr. Fauci's response saying, “You don’t have to ask the question,” stepping in front of the podium, waving his hand in the air and using his immense girth as a physical barricade between Fauci and the reporter.

It is not obvious why he continues to insist that this anti-microbial drug would be effective against a novel virus infection, but some pundits argue that if he follows his cult-like modus operandi, he will use the medical warnings against its untested clinical use as an excuse for the worsening spread of the disease, which has been exacerbated by the regime's muddled and confused response to the crisis.  As a public voice of expert caution, Dr Fauci is in danger of becoming another scapegoat for Don Douche. “If it does work, it would be a shame we did not do it early,”  said Don about hydroxychloroquine during the press conference Sunday. Thwarted again by another 'deep state' conspiracy against him, his propaganda line will be.  Will Fauci join the league of truth-tellers whose members include James Comey, Robert Mueller, Col. Vindmin, Ambassador Yovanovitch, and Michael Atkinson?   The emperor not only has no clothes, but he has also lost his mind.
