Well for starters, I don’t think DeSantis would be shoving his foot in his mouth every other day. DeSantis seems to prefer announcing actions after they’ve begun or already been done, rather than what he plans to do. I also think he’d be more likely to fire EVERYBODY on Day One in office, rather than settle into a nest of vipers with no concerns the way Trump did.
Assuming I were DeSantis, I’d be very polite and professional during the transition. I’d ask a million questions and thank everyone for their assistance. I’d be overly solicitous and make everyone there feel smart and professional. I’d give them hope. But then I wouldn’t keep so much as a single janitor in the White House once I was sworn in. Everyone would be locked out of all their electronic devices the second I said “So help me God.” I’d decapitate DoD, DoJ, DoS, the FBI, ALL of the so-called “Intelligence” agencies, along with every other cabinet level Department. I’d appoint Special Counsel for each of those areas to handle both the firings and internal audits, then I’d direct the WH Press Office to refer all questions to them and never speak on the matters again, unless it was to announce findings of crimes, malfeasance, waste, fraud or abuse by the previous inhabitants.
My entirely new DoJ Leadership team would have marching orders to root out every politically motivated unit and sideline them, effectively killing all politically motivated investigations. Then I’d take on violent crime organizations with task forces targeting their operations under federal law. Every time a big, splashy “gun crime” happened and the left went after gun rights, I’d mobilize a Task Force of pipe hitters to go arrest violent criminals with guns, while simultaneously investigating every level of local, state or federal government that might’ve failed to prevent an attack.
Likewise there’d be a coordinated DHS/DoJ/DoS fire mission to sew up the borders, apply sanctions and make strong-arm demands on every country contributing to the illegal immigration problem, investigate every NGO receiving federal funding to facilitate illegal immigration and file lawsuits in every applicable jurisdiction against every municipality, state and private entity contributing to the problem simultaneously.
My budget requests to Congress would dry up funding for all leftist ideological based programs, and substantially strengthen offensives against foreign threat actors.
Simply put, you have to punch these assholes in the mouth on day one, then keep them rocked back on their heels every day. Make sure they’re expending every bit of their time wailing about they pain you’ve inflicted on them and reacting to things you’ve already done. Every initiative should be compartmentalized and come with invisible fingerprints, so any leaks skyline the mole and then publicly destroy them. All initiatives should be short, lightning fast and pack a whallop. By the time the left can rally their resources to file court challenges, the damage should be done and you should be closing those efforts down, effectively nullifying the court challenge before it’s even filed. Choke the life out of their legal standings and make sure whatever you’re doing currently, can’t be rolled into what they filed yesterday.
Don’t announce what you’re gonna do, just tell the press there’s gonna be more for them to wag their tongues about than they have time in the day to cover. The reason I want DeSantis over Trump or anyone else, is because I think he learned more about how the left did Trump dirty than Trump did. I think his Administration motto would be “Hide and watch.” which is exactly how you have to treat the left.
Oh and for the RINO’s? Make them climb aboard enthusiastically, or get iced out of everything. The time of mealy-mouthed, wishy-washy bed wetters and hand wringers needs to end, abruptly. :mad:
