First thing Democrats must do is to clean house at the FBI...

[kentuck]

Once it is clean, then they can start investigating and prosecuting the criminals that have infiltrated all levels of our government.

It must be done and it must start somewhere. The FBI and the DOJ have never been more corrupt, not even when John Mitchell was in charge.

The crooks have come home to roost.

1. There are so many "first things" --

But yes, purging MAGA appointments and hires, inviting back competent people (while praying they are willing to come), and having an extensive list of vetted competent people to bring in... We need some organization putting together a "build executive agencies back better" plan of action, starting NOW.

Who knows? After we win the House and expose crimes, the troll-in-chief and his co-conspirator Vance could actually be removed. Who knows? Republicans in the Senate who still have a career could well decide they've had it with level of chaos and destruction and vote to remove.

4. Trump has decimated and dismantled all branches and offices of our government

Much needs to be done to get everything back on the rails and running again. To regain control of our government it will be akin to boarding an unmanned runaway freight train full of gasoline, petroleum solvents, and high grade military explosives that is speeding down the tracks while traveling at 400mph with no safe way to stop the damn thing.

This is why incompetent sleazy corrupt charlatans who are conmen extortionists and rapists have no right being placed as leaders of our government and calling the day to day shots of keeping everything operational and functioning.

6. Love the analogy!! I see a hero Dems action flick in our future!

Part horror movie, as the extent of the corruption is uncovered, with brave civil servants wading in, determined to serve the American people.

I envision the feel of "The Pit" as emergency after emergency is dealt with.

2. Inspectors General and all of the offices which give legal opinions might need to be first.

But yeah, the mechanisms of accountability are all corrupted and hamstrung.

3. Like with an exorcism?

5. Do they make industrial strength disinfectants strong enough to handle this task ?

7. Where do we start?

It seems overwhelming.
