1. Fox News is running the nation. nt

2. When you elect trump

you get a government run by Putin, Bannon and Hannity.

I think the expression is "easily led".

3. Or, as this will become known

The Last March of the Competents. Since President Trump requires the highest degree of unquestioned loyalty from people, insisting on people who have never criticized him, he will not hire or appoint anyone with any integrity or competence in their field, because Trump is a walking disaster, conflict of interest, ignorant, fuck-up. Anyone with the least speck of professionalism will surely have dissed Trump at some point for his wide range of mistakes, misstatements, hypocrisy, and outright lies. That leaves just the hacks, suck-ups, brown-nosers, and sycophants.

4. Attorney Generals sue

the federal government. Get rid of the AGs and the law suits against the Republican administration racist agenda will go away.

5. Those are state officials not under federal DOJ

This is about firings of U.S. Attorneys--federal prosecutors under DOJ.
