    Well, the insiders of the DOJ think presidents are above the law, so this is the consequence

      The DOJ has over 110,000 employees. It only takes a handful at the top to stop the honest everyday workers from doing honest work.

        Somehow I think thousands of employees could literally strongarm the individuals pushing corruption and holding them back.

        Like, when did we forget that there’s power in numbers?

        So because your boss says some dumb fucking thing, but a thousand people on your team disagree with it and think it’s idiotic… but y’all are gonna buckle down and do whatever dumb shit your boss said anyway?

        Because he can fire every single one of you and replace you overnight? In a specialized government job? As if.

        This could be solved overnight if ANYONE in the DOJ had some fucking balls.

        “But this one guy at the top whose only power is the name of the position and in reality he’s just some schlub in a suit like the rest of us but he’s promoting some really damaging ideas for our institution as a whole… Maybe if we care about our institution we should kick his ass to the curb.”

        No, Americans are fucking cowed and more than willing to just roll over and do whatever some schlub with no real power other than being their boss tells them.

        That’s why we’re sleepwalking into fascism. Because everyone in a position to stop it is a giant fucking pussy who accepts zero risk to their own personal lives to keep fascism at bay. They’re far more worried about themselves than they are about the future of the country as a whole.
