Triumph of the Will, USA style

Those who need to control others always use force to inflict their will on the resistant. Whatever force is at their command will be used to crush the will of others. The ultimate weapon is making people good and dead — either physically or by destroying their good name among the people who love them. The terror of death is the last thing you want to have visited on you, once you see it in action. It tends to keep the ones not brutally killed, not made gruesome examples of, in line with the leader.

You will grimace at the soul ripping power of this violent force if you’ve ever had your good name assassinated. You will also know the force of maniacal will if anyone you love has been bullied, beaten or killed, physically or spiritually, after insane accusations of defiance or heresy. There is only one kind of sick fuck who gladly inflicts pain on others, though there are many variations in style. The common theme is force, and their willingness to use unlimited amounts of it against others in the user of force’s desperation to command obedience.

Use force to make ten year-old victims of rape carry the rapist’s baby to term and deliver it alive. Use force to punish any doctor who performs the abortion on the already traumatized girl. Use force on the cab driver who takes her across the border to a state where abortion for rape victims is still available. Use force to rip children from the arms of their asylum seeker/migrant parents at the border. How about this for force — keep no records of where you send these poor kids so the parents have no hope of ever seeing them again. Revive the death penalty, make it as common and normal as political lobbying. Use force to make people obey your religion, post its Ten Commandments in every classroom while you abolish the Department of Education. Forcefully abolish affordable health care for millions because, just because — if a poor person wants health care, beg your boss for it, bitches. Abolish the right of labor to organize, while we’re at it. Permanently end a child tax credit that took millions of children out of poverty while that credit was lawful. Promise to take millions of people, at gunpoint, to concentration camps for mass deportation.

The party of personal freedom, local control of government, limited government, law and order, no regulations on businesses, the MAGA party, embraces the violent coercion of people they hate. Americans are free to obey, or die. Local government is perfect, if it agrees with our pious national will. Limited government is necessary to command obedience, for those who would be obeyed. Strict, inviolable law and order for the poor and dispossessed, complete immunity for the ruling elite. Agents for the super-wealthy will decide if anti-pollution policies cost their patrons too much to be enforced. Religious Christians will decide what can be taught in schools, publicly debated, and what is heresy that will be strictly punished. Argue with the will of God on pain of death, accursed heretic!

We’ve seen fascism in many places in the last hundred years. It is an updated variation on the absolute right of history’s bloodiest Divine Right kings, fighting Popes and the unquestionable rule of our superiors and the armies that enforce their will. The main demonstrator of political superiority, as far as I can tell, is an open willingness to use deadly force to destroy anyone who would contest your incontestable will. I have seen these motherfuckers in action many times in my own life, and in the end, once conflict arises (and this taype can only react to conflict with aggression and threats of force) each must be met with rejection. To tolerate someone forcing you to abide by their beliefs, violently requiring you renounce what you know is right, is a worse death than the one those who must be obeyed will try to inflict once you walk away from them.

Irrational faith vs. reasonable conversation

It is impossible not to notice the ungodly strength of irrational “arguments”. Just scan the alarmingly skewed headlines and editorials of the fucking New York Times. Once an irrational belief is embraced, that’s all she wrote, boys and girls.

A person of unquestioning faith cannot be persuaded by facts, videos, secret recordings, written evidence, sworn testimony, a mountain of reasonable arguments for doubt or skepticism. This is the beauty, and unparalleled horror, of true belief. If you believe, say “amen”, and you no longer need to care in the least about the so-called “truth”. The truth you now believe will set you free (from ever needing to argue about truth again.)

That other truth, let us be clear, is the truth of heretics, infidels, God deniers, Christ killers, pedophile cannibal left-wing billionaires, libtards, cucks, Muslims, Hindus, Buddhists, etc.

Every tyrant, every leader around whom a cult of personality is built, every psychopathic CEO, every greed demented luster after thousands of millions of dollars, requires a belief system in which their quirks and abuses are seen as unquestionable virtues. You may not question this belief system without being portrayed as [insert your favorite dismissive expletive]. Now let us all say “amen”, it is so [1].

The horror is that humans, under pressure, will act as cleverly as lemmings in their desperation to save themselves, to survive, thrive, be part of something bigger than themselves, part of a true religion, true cult, true family or true couple. There is no human collective too small to be immune to this unilateral imposition of will, and demand for unwavering faith, from someone claiming the right to rule.

It is the shame of being human, witnessing the constant, thoughtless embrace of angry, sometimes murderous, irrationality. The worst of it is that these murdering mobs truly believe that all-mighty, all-powerful, all-merciful GOD told them it is their holy duty to slaughter. Holy shit, my friends.

[1] amen (interjection): used to express solemn ratification (as of an expression of faith) or hearty approval (as of an assertion). [Merriam Webster]

Rupert Murdoch’s WSJ explains Project 2025

These radical right wing activists are always referred to as “conservatives”. They are radical reactionaries, determined authoritarians, future American Nazis who have waited since 1954 (when an “activist” court ruled American apartheid in education unconstitutional) with saliva on their fangs.

Postal Regulatory Commission v. DeJoy

The following is from one of very few recent articles about our partisan postmaster, who comes across as pugnacious in his dealings with the Postal Regulatory Commission, and whose disruption of dependable mail service has, apparently, even aggravated House Republicans. This is from an organization called Government Executive, [govexec.com] (link below)

. . . The [Postal Regulatory Commission, PRC] commission made its recommendation after finding in the report that USPS in fiscal 2023 missed most of its goals for high-quality service performance; three of its eight goals related to customer service; and all of its goals related to maintaining a safe workplace, engaged workforce and financially healthy organization. 

DeJoy and PRC have been at odds for years, as the postmaster general has accused the regulators—and other stakeholders—of standing in the way of essential steps he must take to save the agency from insolvency. The new recommendation, however, marks the first time PRC has called for a pause to DeJoy’s signature plan. It follows the introduction of bipartisan bills that would restrict the Postal Service from carrying out its changes. 

In a recently introduced fiscal 2025 spending bill, House Republicans said they were “deeply concerned about the potential negative impacts” of DeJoy’s reforms. 

PRC flagged other aspects of DeJoy’s plan, including suggesting USPS consider whether its decision in recent years to increase prices twice annually “may accelerate electronic diversion resulting in adverse volume effects.” While postal officials have repeatedly highlighted its efforts to engage with its customers and employees over its plans, the commission said it has concerns about the “limited transparency” regarding the DFA and their “effects on service performance.” PRC recently pushed back on DeJoy’s rate increase strategy, saying postal management should exercise more discretion before continuing with its approach that “may be unprecedented in the history of the Postal Service.”

Many lawmakers and stakeholders across the postal community are imploring PRC to go further, calling for it to issue an “advisory opinion” on the totality of DeJoy’s DFA plan. 

Large-scale mailers and others that interact with the Postal Service regularly are hopeful an advisory opinion—while not enforceable—would provide a third-party assessment of the agency’s plans, evaluate its assumptions and potentially offer additional fodder to motivate either the USPS board of governors or Congress to intervene.

Why is this imperious MAGA mega-donor still in charge of crippling mail delivery ahead of an election with an expected 50,000,000 mail-in ballots? [1]

[1]

In 2020, during the depths of Covid, 66,000,000 votes were cast by mail, 43% of all ballots cast. (US Census)

34,248,000 mail-in ballots were cast in the 2022 midterms, 31.8% of 107,700,000 total votes cast in that high turnout midterm election  source 

Beyond that, numbers for mail-in voting have been on the rise in all elections since 2008. source

Time to wake up, voters

My concern about the power of a pugnacious partisan postmaster to not deliver millions of ballots, a guy who has already crippled mail delivery nationwide, has been met by silence or dismissal from every one of my elected officials and everyone in progressive media I’ve contacted. Here’s what a Democratic strategist I contacted wrote back to me.

I’ve read the proposed headlines below. This is out of my area of expertise, but these sorts of fears were very prominent in 2020 when Trump was president and Covid was making mail in ballots central to the election. When we looked into them then, they didn’t materialize. I don’t have more information than that. 

Here were my proposed headlines:

headline one:  Trump megadonor Postmaster General has the ability to halt delivery of millions of mail-in ballots from selected zip codes

headline two:  Federal Voter Suppression Scheme, under color of law, in full effect

This guy clearly suffers from smartest man in the room syndrome. There’s a lot of that myopia going on among our best and brightest public champions of democracy these days. Dismissing concerns about a corrupt partisan postmaster using his discretionary power to help his candidate, since it didn’t happen four months into his now four year reign, is as asinine as insisting that, clearly, since the January 6th attack on the Capitol didn’t bring democracy down, there is no reason to be concerned about it or anything like it anymore.

I intend to write back to him like so:

Subject: Instant expertise:

You dismissed this concern when I raised it the first time, since, in spite of similar fears, it didn’t happen in November 2020 when DeJoy had been postmaster for a few months.  Now it is four full years, full-steam ahead on “Delivering for America”, the Postal Regulatory Commission’s urging DFA be suspended until after the election be damned.  You conceded a lack of expertise in this matter.  Here is some information you need:

In 2020, during the depths of Covid, 66,000,000 votes were cast by mail, 43% of all ballots cast.

34,248,000 mail in ballots were cast in the 2022 midterms, 31.8% of 107,700,000 total votes cast in that high turnout midterm election  source Beyond that, numbers for mail-in voting have been on the rise since 2008.  source

DeJoy claimed, in his recent PR piece in the Washington Post, that in August 2023 there was a 98% on-time rate for mail delivery coast to coast. He is silent about what the current on-time delivery rate is. I wonder why.

We note that Senator Jon Ossoff reported on-time delivery from the new Atlanta processing and distribution center was 98% in 2022, 52% in 2023 and 72% YTD 2024.

This is not something to be concerned about, smartest man in the room? Do sixty seconds of research by clicking the links above to become an instant expert.

Please pass this on to your contacts, I can’t get anyone in government or media to give a rat’s ass about it and I’ve been trying for a solid month.  Hopefully someone in your network has a connection that can break through and get this issue public attention.  Otherwise we just have to trust that a MAGA partisan will not bend any rules, laws or norms to get his candidate elected.

Your best, most brilliantly targeted campaign donation advice will be in vain if my concern is even 20% true.  We’re talking about nationwide, easily targetable vote tallies 5-10 times larger than Biden’s robust margin of victory in 2020 (leaving aside the slim Electoral College margin).

Yours in the fight to save our fragile, problematic experiment in democracy,

A little data on ratfucker Louis DeJoy’s power

I guess Senators Chuck Chuck BoBuck Schumer and Kirsten “Let’s lynch Al Franken” Gillibrand are too busy fretting over the Democratic candidate for 2024, in spite of the expressed will of a giant majority of Democratic voters, to read their hair on fire constituent emails, even if sent five times. My Congressman has also been silent as a sphinx, though the woman I spoke to at his office today seemed to share my concerns about DeJoy. I suppose every able bodied Democrat on Capitol Hill, if corporate media is to be believed, is clenching their collective anuses too hard to read constituent emails and have a staffer do five minutes of follow up google research.

My expressed concerns about Trump mega-donor Postmaster Louis DeJoy might be validly dismissed, if only a tiny number of American ballots were actually cast by mail. If mail in votes did not constitute a margin that could swing a close election, my worries would be stupid and a distraction. What if the number of mail in ballots in recent elections were in the 30 to 66 million ballots range? It turns out they are.

Read on, from a United States government website:

The number of by-mail ballots sent to voters nationally increased from 28.5 million to 42.4 million between 2008 and 2018, while returned ballots rose from 23.1 million to 30.4 million. Although the totals rise and fall based on the type of election held that year, examining the data when separated as midterm or presidential election shows that the ballots transmitted and returned nonetheless increase within the election categories.

source, also source of the graph below

In the 2020 election, 43% of all votes cast, more than 66 million ballots, were cast by mail (per US Census Bureau).

In the 2022 midterm elections there was a 31.8% vote by mail rate, over 34,000,000 votes, in a historically large turnout for a midterm. This is also from the US Census:

For the 2022 election, the survey found that nearly one-third (31.8%) of all voters cast ballots by mail, up from 23.1% in 2018. Almost half (47.1%) voted before Election Day, up from 37.8% in 2018.  

Other highlights:

  • Among those who were registered but did not vote in the 2022 elections, the most common answer given for not voting was, “Too busy, conflicting work or school schedule.”
  • The most common way people registered to vote was at the Department of Motor Vehicles (DMV); 29.8% of respondents reported registering at their DMV.
  • Among the citizen voting-age population, homeowners had higher voter turnout than renters, with 58.1% of eligible homeowners and 36.5% of renters voting.
  • Turnout rates for the citizen voting-age population differed by length of residence, 67.6% for those living in the same place for five years or longer and 40.5% for those in their current residence for one year or less.
  • Turnout was higher among the married (61.2%) than unmarried (42.5%) citizen voting-age population.  
  • Turnout was higher among veterans (62.7%) than among nonveterans (51.3%).  
  • Native-born citizen voter turnout was 53.4%, greater than the 41.4% turnout of naturalized citizens.
  • The South had the nation’s lowest voter turnout (48.9%), while turnout in the West (54.7%), Midwest (54.1%) and Northeast (53.8%) were not significantly different from each other.

More information about voter turnout for the election is available in the America Counts story, High Registration and Early Voting in 2022 Midterms.

You can’t expect a spineless man like Chuck Chuck BoBuck to step up and do the bold thing, he never has. Neither does it profit you to put faith in a female Senator who calls for a colleague who asked for an ethics hearing in his alleged misconduct to be ousted from the Senate immediately, without a chance to clear his name. As for my Congressman? Fuck that fucking puto, I’ve been in contact with his people several times, in addition to the papers I put in the mail to him and the sympathetic woman I spoke to at his office today. She promised she’d pass it on to her busily fundraising boss. So I am holding my breath, of course,

This corporate democracy we have here, where corporations and mega-wealthy donors can get any politician they want on the phone immediately to deal with their concerns, is rotten, corrupt and pathetic. We are in position to fix it, but we have a lot of hard work to do if we’re going to. Our first order of business is putting aside the petty squabbles to show a little unity and just a drop of fucking courage and soundly defeat Donald “Project 2025” Trump in November.

Then we have to remember how fucked up our corporate democracy still is and start fixing it, from Day One.

How to elect a Nazi, NY Times edition

Here are the top four New York Times headlines today. The paper’s wealthy (fourth generation wealth, the way it’s done by our greatest citizens) chairman and publisher, 43 year old “Dash” Sulzberger, is reportedly furious that Biden, after the NY Times ran dozens front page articles focusing on Biden’s disqualifying age, DEFIED their requests for a sit-down interview. The Journal of Record is now doing everything in its considerable power to create doubt about Biden’s competence and stoke a controversy that can only help Charles Koch, Leonard Leo, Sammy “My Wife has a right to do whatever she wants, libtards!” Alito and friends win the upcoming presidential election.

Note the even-handed placement of an article musing about why a would-be dictator would lie about a controversial, unpopular and largely insane public blueprint for his dictatorship.

I once called this newspaper the Grey Skank, which I realize now is an insult to skanks. My apologies, skanks.

Then, because the Journal of Record always tell the whole story with nuance, without bias or slant, this hard-hitting editorial warning against the danger of the candidate they are doing so much to help.

Here’s a bit of their moralizing, complete with quickly doubling back to questions about Biden’s unfitness and the urgent need for responsible, terrified Democratic big donors to replace him:

Mr. Trump has shown a character unworthy of the responsibilities of the presidency. He has demonstrated an utter lack of respect for the Constitution, the rule of law and the American people. Instead of a cogent vision for the country’s future, Mr. Trump is animated by a thirst for political power: to use the levers of government to advance his interests, satisfy his impulses and exact retribution against those who he thinks have wronged him.

He is, quite simply, unfit to lead.

The Democrats are rightly engaged in their own debate about whether President Biden is the right person to carry the party’s nomination into the election, given widespread concerns among voters about his age-related fitness. This debate is so intense because of legitimate concerns that Mr. Trump may present a danger to the country, its strength, security and national character — and that a compelling Democratic alternative is the only thing that would prevent his return to power.

Mr. Trump, as the NY Times puts it with it’s trademark restraint, MAY PRESENT A DANGER TO THE COUNTRY. If you say so, Grey Corporatist Coprophage [1].

Check the Grey Hag a few hours later and you will see these four top stories (Project 2025 query omitted in favor of another headline questioning Biden’s competency). Way to go, fuckheads.

[1] Any living, or judicially created, organism that feeds on feces or fecal matter.

Two sides to every story?

Here are two reactions to the recent 6-3 Supreme Court decision crippling Congressional and DOJ oversight of a criminal president and affirming a (far right) president’s prerogative to engage in criminal conspiracy without consequence if he asserts that the crime was part of his “bold and decisive” core official duties as MAGA president (and the crime in question advances the interests of the men who chose the radical, corporatist 6-3 Supreme Court majority).

The first take is from an organization run by Leonard Leo, far right Christian activist in charge of a recently donated $1.6 billion dollar political activism war chest — and engineer of the current Supreme Court and hundreds of Federalist Society diehard federal judges at all levels. Judicial Watch spent millions on advertising to tank the Merrick Garland Supreme Court nomination and promote their three picks for Supreme Court justices.

Note Judicial Watch’s motto: Because no one is above the law!

Apologies to those trying to read this on a phone screen, here you go:

Washington, DC) – Judicial Watch President Tom Fitton made the following statement regarding the ruling by the United Stated Supreme Court regarding immunity for official acts by former President Donald Trump: 

Today’s commonsense Supreme Court immunity ruling is a victory for former President Trump, the U.S. Constitution, and the rule of law. The Biden administration’s political decision to try to put Trump in jail for simply being president was unsurprisingly rejected by the Supreme Court. 

 Make no mistake, the Supreme Court is imposing a virtually insurmountable burden on Jack Smith in his vicious pursuit of Trump over the election and document disputes. The unprecedented charges against Trump were frivolous to begin with and, after today’s decision, should be shut down completely by the Justice Department. 

Judicial Watch is in the forefront of the court battles for transparency regarding the Biden administration’s targeting of Trump.

Another view, from American Oversight, expressed with impressive restraint:

STATEMENT FROM AMERICAN OVERSIGHT INTERIM EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR CHIOMA CHUKWU:

Today is a dark day for American democracy. The Supreme Court’s ruling came after months of delay, revealing the greatest beneficiary of our two-tiered system of justice: Donald J. Trump. By sending this case back to the lower courts for further proceedings just months before the election, making it unlikely that he will face trial by November, the Court has effectively rewarded the former president with de facto immunity for his role in attempting to subvert the results of the 2020 election.  

“Our democracy depends on an informed electorate. Today’s decision deprives the public of critical information by preventing this case from immediately proceeding to trial, instead requiring the lower court to first determine which of Trump’s egregious actions fall within the parameters set forth by the Supreme Court. Voters deserve to have the benefit of a jury verdict before choosing their next president in November — the Court’s ruling likely made that impossible.” 

In a 6-3 opinion, the Supreme Court’s ruling states that a president is entitled to immunity for official acts, but not for unofficial acts. Chief Justice John Roberts, writing for the majority, made clear that even the Supreme Court agrees on a core principle — that no one is above the law:

“The president enjoys no immunity for his unofficial acts, and not everything the President does is official. The President is not above the law. But Congress may not criminalize the President’s conduct in carrying out the responsibilities of the Executive Branch under the Constitution.”

Who are you going to believe, 100% certain, true-believing smash mouth political practitioners with 100% message discipline or those deluded souls who deliberate, weigh nuances, discuss, hesitate and disagree on various policy matters?

Related question: since Trump is right that Biden is sleepy and senile, why not remove him from the ballot immediately, trembling libtard cucks?

Remaining proactive

Coalitions of anti-fascists defeated far right candidates in the UK and France in recent days, following similar showings in Spain and Iran(!). Here, our corporations are tirelessly promulgating every story that can divide anti-fascist, pro-democracy voters. It is up to us to put this exceptional, seamless 24/7 American corporate storytelling from distracting us from the clear goal we need to focus on– defeating an enraged, entrenched, billionaire-funded reactionary movement determined to advance the interests of the 1%.

Is Biden old and senile? My personal view: old, yes, senile, no proof of it, outside of a humiliating performance in a live, unmoderated TV event billed as a debate. Biden quickly demonstrated he was OK, but the story was front page news day after day, pursued wildly by corporate mass media spinning into tales of Biden’s team criminally hiding his senility for years. The headlines were dominated, day after day, by calls for 81 year-old Biden to step down.

Even if Biden were to yield to unreasonable pressure and the blind terror of some of his fellow Democrats, is there any reason for him to step down prior to Trump’s Nuremberg rally in Milwaukee in a few days? Use your common sense. Why would Biden hand that propaganda win to Trump?

Whether Biden is the candidate (leaving aside the political and logistical near impossibility of replacing a presumptive nominee who won the primaries handily) is not an issue for us to take sides about right now. This is particularly true if we are determined to vote against Trump no matter who the Democratic candidate is. The Biden issue is a disturbing distraction, created to trigger the libs by pro-Trump propagandists. It was designed to divide us and take our eyes off the battle to defeat a party whose announced policies please the Klan, Nazis, Christians who prefer Trump to the teachings of Jesus, and the wealthiest 1%.

Hamas’ terrorist attack on Israel in October, and the ensuing total war in Gaza, is being laid at Biden’s feet by reactionary propaganda. What is framed as Biden’s vicious war against the besieged Palestinians in Gaza and the West Bank is not actually Biden’s war at all. MAKE HIM OWN IT ANYWAY, is the cry of all who would see Americans divided on this emotionally brutal issue. Was the murderous Hamas attack a criminal atrocity? Yes. Are war crimes being committed in Gaza? Yes. Does Israel or the US recognize the jurisdiction of the International Criminal Court? No. Does Biden have any direct way to stop this cycle of deadly violence? No. Stop blaming Biden for crimes being committed by the radical right, racist government of our long time ally.

Trump has successfully moved elected officials and right wing judges to support his reframing of the several criminal prosecutions he faces. He loses all of these cases based entirely on the evidence already in the public record. He does not want a day in court to exonerate himself, knowing he can’t. Delay and running out the clock (or bankrupting his adversary) is always his goal and he got it, plus presumptive immunity for all criminal acts committed while he was president. The Georgia RICO case is now the DA Fani Willis, partisan whore who had sex with a colleague case. Under review by a Republican state Supreme Court. The Florida Espionage case is now, with an assist from Ginni Thomas’ husband, the sick and dangerous Jack Smith was illegally appointed case. Down the line.

The corporate press and cable news falls into line, because to corporate media, Trump has the golden click bait touch and they stand to make a shit load of money, as long as they stay on the right side of their golden calf (with a wink to you, Grey Lady).

On and on, down the line, media-driven divisive issues for Americans worried sick about the billionaire-funded march toward a Nazi America to gnash their teeth over and nervously snarl at each other about. Now several more House Democrats (including the otherwise respectable Jerald Nadler of NY) and countless columnists and cable pundits have come out saying Biden must step aside. Let’s fight about whether the Democrats are not being “reckless” in not creating a new process to force the winner of their primaries, the incumbent who presided over many of their greatest recent policy achievements to renounce his candidacy, shall we? The New York Times made a hell of a Brett Kavanaugh-like argument for that, doubling down on their Trump enabling demand the other day.

Biden has assembled an excellent and effective administration. His administration has accomplished an impressive amount for the citizens of this country, against organized lockstep opposition by the power-crazed party of Trump, the human embodiment of retribution. The president does not have to appear daily on TV to attack his critics, lie to voters, deny things he said the day before. The president assembles and oversees a team, and Biden has a first rate one. Trump’s people have assembled a guide for how to finally make a radical right president the unaccountable Unitary Executive and how he will ensure loyalty across the entire government for his extreme “bold and decisive” plans from day one. Trump denies knowledge of this reactionary blueprint for a fascist USA [1]. What else do you need to know?

Do not read the news and freak out, hard as that may be to do. Don’t pay much attention to the polls, most people who answer them are senior citizens with landlines and a rightward bend to their political views.

Remain proactive and take political action, no matter how seemingly small. There is much to do before our exceptional nation can act with the political maturity and pragmatism shown by the UK and France in recent days. Anything less and, I can say this with reasonable assurance, see you in the death camp, my fellow libtard cuck.

Covfefe Policy Agenda for Project 2025

(from the Heritage Foundation’s website)

It is not enough for conservatives to win elections. If we are going to rescue the country from the grip of the radical Left, we need both a governing agenda and the right people in place, ready to carry this agenda out on Day One of the next conservative Administration.

This is the goal of the 2025 Presidential Transition Project. The project will build on four pillars that will, collectively, pave the way for an effective conservative Administration. More About Project 2025

Policy: This book is an invitation for you the reader—Mr. Smith, Mrs. Smith, and Ms. Smith—to come to Washington or support those who can.  Our goal is to assemble an army of aligned, vetted, trained, and prepared conservatives to go to work on Day One to deconstruct the Administrative State.

Note the subtle touch of the Day One, a reference to the principle that the Leader’s word has the force of law.
