Just who can President Biden get rid of?

I know he can fire all the cabinet members and other agency heads, government prosecutors, etc, but

If I understand correctly, folks that are in place like the Federal Reserve, Post Master General, FEC, FCC can't be removed.

Frankly, I think he should just shitcan every trumpanzee.

"Acting" folks, or empty spots probably are less damaging than leaving dipshits picks in there.

Twitler just changed an entire group of civil service employees to political status, there are lots of folks he can get rid of.

LIne up all the replacements and their aids that have experience in that field and the day after the swearing in, Put in the new crew.. Have the old crew unceremoniously escorted out by security with their little brown cardboard box.. Make sure they were FIRED so no benefits for their treason.
YMMV.. just a vindictive me to the assholes who fucked up my country and my fellow citizens..

I'm ALL for bringing back those that were victims of BunkerBoy's vengeance. Here's my 2 early nominations:

1. Lt. Colonel Alexander Vindman - career officer who told the truth in the congressional hearings - truth that IQ45 did not like!
2. Agent Peter Strzok - fired because he texted a "friend" that he didn't like IQ45. He was fired within 1 week of getting his pension.

Come on - who else?

Not sure he REALLY wanted to retire yet. He wasn't that old. In fact, he can take Wray's place. But I wouldn't be ENTIRELY averse to keeping Wray, he's behaved with a modicum of integrity and I'd really prefer that position wasn't made into a political football as Trump has tried to do.

Strzok's lady friend who's name eludes me at the moment.

Anyone of the career civil servants that testified against IQ45 at the impeachment.

Sally Yates is a given of course.

it was McCabe who was fired hours before his retirement was to begin.
Sorry 'bout the mix-up - but no matter who IQ45 did it to - what a shitty thing to do!

And now he's upset because he lost his job?

SUCK IT, DONNIE!!!!!!
