Trump has long made his dislike of intelligence officials & other feds, & his belief “that malevolent bureaucrats had sabotaged his campaign bent on undermining his presidency”. He could exact vengeance as commander in chief against the so-called deep state in a number of ways, & current & fmr intelligence officials are particularly concerned that he would attack a curated list of targets, oversee a mass firing of employees, or force officials to leave under pressure.

Rep. Dan Goldman is 'shocked' that a 'sycophant' Fox News host, Pete Hegseth, has his 'finger on nuclear weapons'. Hegseth, a service man, was picked by Trump to head the Pentagon. Goldman specified that they feared Trump would appoint "unqualified loyalists" to shape the government into his "own personal fiefdom" and to seek revenge against generals.

Stephen Miller's uncle, David Glosser opened up to the Daily Mail about his nephew's plans for mass deportation — and how it terrifies him. Glosser has already written extensively against his nephew, calling him bigoted. "Stephen is just an ambitious functionary of [Trump's] dark impulse," said Glosser. "I expect to have my lowest expectations met."

Judge Bruce Cohen, the judge presiding over the criminal election subversion case against Trump allies is facing accusations of anti-Trump bias. Cohen urged white male colleagues to condemn GOP attacks on Kamala Harris’ race and gender and characterized the current political climate as resisting the Nazis. He quickly scheduled a "hastily convened" conference to go over the future of the case after an attorney for one of the defendants called for the judge to be removed.

Trump is "triggering a major shakeup" by giving DeSantis "a powerful opportunity to shape his legacy and potentially set up his political future" "The governor everyone said was a lame duck is getting more powerful by the minute." It’s possible that Trump will continue to choose leaders from Florida to fill his administration, particularly given that incoming chief of staff Susie Wiles has deep roots in the state.

Former Trump WH lawyer Ty Cobb tore into Trump over his repeated pledges to pardon rioters who stormed the Capitol on J-6 when he retakes office next year. "Well, I don't think anybody in our history has more tarnished the rule of law than Donald Trump, and I don't think it restrains him at all," said Cobb. Hhe added. "This is really lawlessness of the highest order, and there's no principal basis for it. I think it'd be a very sad event."

Now, Kari Lake is going to proclaim herself the winner, then demand for a recount, then waste the court's time suing. The two-time loser is never satisfied.

Looks like Trump can't do the president thing without Elon Musk. He should be congratulated widely for recognizing his limitations and being such a good delegator.

Elon Musk "has been seen at Mar-a-Lago nearly every single day since Donald Trump won, dining with him on the patio at times" and "weighing in on staffing decisions, making clear his preference for certain roles," @kaitlancollins reports

The Bulwark's Tim Miller said that he saw Ramaswamy on TV demanding respect" from the left. Miller said, "...the demand that people who did not vote for Donald Trump respect people that did," "What is missing, though, is any effort to earn that respect." "Then when it's over, afterward, you have to be like, 'Hey, I appreciate you. Thank you so much for calling me garbage and the enemy of the people and making up lies about how I eat pets,'" "'I respect you so much..."
