emerging consensus that Kavanaugh is just a dope

Never would have guessed based on his testimony in front of senate.

This is the way Trump's people want the federal government to work though. Hire under qualified political extremists that aren't exactly intelligent and make them feel they owe you.

Their plans to reshape the executive branch if Trump wins in 2024 is downright frightening. Bannon hinted at it after the 2020 election, but more details have started leaking. Pull federal agencies directly under the president, fire people that aren't seen as "team players", and have 1000 federal workers ready to be hired on day 1 based solely on their political affiliation and willingness to be a team player. Bannon complained that too many federal agencies had people that used silly things like regulations, laws, ect to prevent the first Trump administration from fully achieving their goals.
