"According to a report from Bloomberg News, former members of the one-term president Donald Trump's cabinet, as well as other officials tied to him, are busy at work creating what is being described as a "shadow government" that will be ready to hit the ground running should he run for president -- and win -- in 2024.
With the former president hinting that he may announce his third bid for the presidency possibly in September, a large number of officials from former White House advisor Kellyanne Conway to former Homeland Security head Chad Wolf have signed on with the non-profit America First Policy Institute being run by former Trump cabinet member and World Wrestling Entertainment executive Linda McMahon."

(6,680 posts)if the worst happens, expect purges at every level of the federal workforce for non-supporters of red don. Preceded, of course, by compilation of extensive lists organized on the basis of pro- or anti- red don, based on screening social media postings, email, etc.
Of course, a lot of federal jobs will just vanish as the anarchists blow up the federal government. Welcome to your new country.

(102,793 posts)Simply complete the process. Why do you think shit is so hard to get done now? Infiltrators who remained after the admin change, purposely placed, think Louis DeJoy. He has control over a Law Enforcement agency, USPS police, and they have a broad reach.
So, yeah, the "crew" have been assembling since the election. What do you think Meadows has been doing all this time? I saw him on some video some time ago talking about the shadow cabinet and their goal to conduct government business even while out of office and be ready to step in when fuckwad goes back to the WH. Seriously, that's what he was saying.

(29,687 posts)That would assure another Biden win, unless our election system is completed corrupted by his minions by then.
Personally, I don't think TFG running again will ever happen once the J-6 Comm, and the DA's in Georgia and NY get done with him.

(3,414 posts)Saying nothing about Cheeto Benito, but it's a damned good idea to have everyone and everything ready to go; everyone as vetted as possible, every secretary knowing who their assistants will be. The only variable should be 'do we have votes for easy confirmation'- in which case you have your best, or 'do we need to pick someone who will get easily confirmed'.
The Republican's use of the Federalist Society to have a ready-to-go list of judges who would give them what they want was damned effective; discard one or two, still a half dozen on the list that meet criteria.
Always steal what works well from the enemy!
