    You really think if they show up tomorrow and go to their office, they will be able to just carry on as if nothing happened?

    We’re talking about the administration that is actively trying to root out some sort of perceived DEI conspiracy by sending Secret Service agents around to government departments and contractors. Stories keep popping up about it.

      Someone needs to stop them. A real specific person. Not just the presidential diktat. And it’s valuable to make them do it and then ideally, when the court cases roll around make them responsible for it. Learned helplessness doesn’t have any benefit.

        I don’t know what real specific person you mean, but I have no idea how you think they could bring down the entire Republican-run U.S. government by themselves. You do understand this problem is far deeper than just Trump, right? If Trump is killed, Harris doesn’t get to be president, Vance does. And Vance is even worse.

          What? When did I ever say an IG is going to take down the government? This whole response is a non-sequitur.

            You:

            When did I ever say an IG is going to take down the government?

            Me right before that:

            I don’t know what real specific person you mean

            I don’t see a point in conversing with you if you’re going to ignore what I said.

              You seem to have not understood what I wrote. The “real specific person” is whoever blocks their entry or tries to remove them from their office. A real person needs to do that, and it makes them legally vulnerable. Make them do it, and then make them a defendant in the resulting court cases. The whole point is making the underlings worried about enforcing the king’s diktat, because the king may be untouchable but they are not.
