healing and restoring, one of our first undertakings should be a determined and persistent effort to comb dozens and dozens of incompetent ideologue federal "judges" out of Uncle Sam's beard. These racists, homophobes and genuine idiots were selected by RWNJ's, nominated by the White House squatter and approved by a Republican Senate whose only apparent real question about the nominees was "Will they do as they are told?"
I know they cannot be removed simply because they are Trump appointees or that we believe they are incompetent --- or even that some really are idiots. But, just review some of the known factors that should have disqualified them: open racism, misogyny, homophobia, anger control issues. These qualities don't disappear when they don a robe.
Without, of course, violating the law, monitor their social media; record and review their speeches; track their vacations and their "significant purchases". At least SOME of them will be arrogant enough to hand us the means to impeach them. And, then, of course, we have to do it: impeach them.
To those who say "Where will we get the money to fund that?", I have no specific answer, but believe there are those with the funds who would agree that THEIR country should not be burdened by grifters and nincompoops on the federal bench. And, do we really doubt that Koch and Adelson and their ilk are not bankrolling that type of scrutiny of our people?

(102,343 posts)Yes, it needs to be addressed, but unfortunately, it will take time to build a case for the worst of them...
In the meantime, I want a REAL and comprehensive inventory of all the regulation roll-backs, new detrimental policies, and actions taken by all the Federal agencies. I want a team of true experts from previous administrations to go in and surveil what the hell has been going on and to quickly document. I want the new administration to work with the MSM to develop weekly long-form news reporting on what the hell has been happening in our names, the damage wrought and what steps are immediately underway to reverse the damage. Let the Trump administration and R's in congress bear the shame of what they have done and the reverberations into the future while we work to turn it around. We must document all that went on and let the public know.
