    In a development that should surprise nobody, especially at this particular time:

    Trump fires intelligence community watchdog who defied him on whistleblower complaint
    The president informed Congress of the move in a Friday-evening letter to the House and Senate intelligence committees.

    President Donald Trump has fired the intelligence community’s chief watchdog, Michael Atkinson, who was the first to sound the alarm to Congress last September about an “urgent” complaint he received from an intelligence official involving Trump’s communications with Ukraine’s president.

    Atkinson's decision set in motion the congressional probe that culminated in Trump's impeachment and ultimate acquittal in a bruising political and legal drama that consumed Washington for months.

    Trump formally notified the Senate and House Intelligence Committees of his intention to fire Atkinson, to take effect 30 days from Friday, according to two congressional officials and a copy of the letter obtained by POLITICO dated April 3.

    the "small govt" propaganda and indoctrination doesn't mean no govt.

    It means to enfeeble the govt into dysfunction, drown-able in a bathtub, so the oligarchy can complete its coup d'etat and

    install an unchallengeable authoritarian Repug govt AND judiciary that run the country of the oligarchy, by the oligarchy, for the oligarchy.

    iow, small govt means, and already does as both parties are s to the oligarchy's BigDollar, no more govt even acknowledging the mythical "
    of the people, by the people, for the people".

    =============

    Under the cover of the pandemic, "never let a crisis go to waste" criminal AG Barr wanted to add another brick to the authoritarian wall

    DOJ seeks new emergency powers amid coronavirus pandemic

    One of the requests to Congress would allow the department to pe ion a judge to

    indefinitely detain someone during an emergency.

    https://www.politico.com/news/2020/03/21/doj-coronavirus-emergency-powers-140023

    who defines an emergency? DoJ

    which judge to pe ion? one of the reliably compliant, rightwing ideologues that Leo/McConnell have been installing in bunches with no Senate hearing

    who defines "someone" to detain? the authoritarian DoJ working for the oligarchy

    Exactly.
    He holds his own whimsical press conferences and he won’t be cornered in a room of really persistent press as he contradicts himself so often.
    So here is how confused orange describes the situation:

    "We've done a poor job on press relationships, and I guess, I don't know who to blame for that," Trump said. "Maybe I can blame ourselves for that. I will blame ourselves. But I think we've done a great job. I think we've done a poor job in terms of press relationship."


    Seriously, if you read this closely it’s FUBAR.

    Trump removes independent watchdog for coronavirus funds, upending oversight panel
    The move comes as Trump makes a broad push against inspectors general scrutinizing his actions.

    All CNN/MSNBC did was about no press briefings. Now, they're both cutting away from them daily. Why?

    Simple, the old man discovered a venue for his rallies. tee, hee.

    So covid was a jackpot for Trump, more money to steal than ever before conceivable. Some conspiracy theorists might even say Trump deliberately let it get out of hand by way of misinformation and inaction to up the jackpot. I won’t go there, I just attribute it to him being stupid.

    Which set of books are we going by that he’s a billionaire, the one he qualifies for loans off of or the one he pays taxes from?

    Because we ain't changing NOW that the old man is President, just to turn around after he's gone & start it up again. Uh, uh.

    It's been ed since JFK ascended to it & so we'll keep it that-a-way.
