Did You Feel A Great Disturbance In The Forces of Evil?
Somebody said, “No” to Donald Trump.
The U.S. Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA) this week declared the 2020 election the “most secure in American history.” President Donald Trump ordered Chad Wolf, the Dept. of Homeland Security acting Secretary, to fire the agency’s chief, Chris Krebs. Wolf reportedly has refused.
He refused.
Krebs says he expected to be fired, but Wolf says he’s not doing it so I guess that Trump will have to have Bill Barr do it. Hell, Barr will do whatever Trump tells him to do including lighting his butt on fire. Have mercy, you’d be able to smell the roasting pork all the way to Bolivia.
Thank you, Chad Wolf. I am certain that Trump will make fun of you on Twitter. I guess you’re grown up enough to take it, huh?
Here in this neck of the woods, Chad Wolf is hard to swallow after the awful things he’s said about our community, not once but many times. But, maybe even he has finally reached his limit. So, good. Seems that it’s becoming pretty clear even in the west wing. Maybe not for some of those that still have their noses up Trumpfs arse- Barrf, KaLIEing McEnany, others.
1Gosh, maybe moscow Mitch will get his head out of his ass.
Tic tic tic with 306 EC votes now. “Landslide”
Damn! A Trump appointee with both a spine and a knowledge of the difference between right and wrong. He will be permanently persona non grata with the party of greed and intolerance.
2That was just the summary statement. How about a point by point rebuttal to every claim Trump has made about the election:

It’s like they wanted Trump’s head to explode, but since he never reads anything, the summary was needed.
Steve, I agree with you that Chad Wolf is an abysmal human. He’s said “no” this once because he knows Trump is going down. Wolf thinks this one incident will save his reputation and let him get a job in the real world.
3All truth passes through three stages. First, it is ridiculed. Second, it is violently opposed. Third, it is accepted as being self-evident.

4Chad has a better understanding of the concept of “Lame Duck” than his boss the Mango Molester
5I’m starting a crusade….SAVE THE DUCKS’ REPUTATION….and ask that everyone try to remember to just call Trumpf LAME. I just hate to see them lil duckies dragged thru the mud with the Presididiot.
6Oh, Wolf will get a job in the real world. There are enough very rich guys who will hire any one of this bunch we can’t get indicted, tried, convicted, and thrown in prison, and they’ll still get jobs when they get out.
7Considering how Wolf was willing to violate our Constitution in every way (snatching innocent people off the streets, wanting to launch armed military against protesters) I’m surprised he had the nerve to oppose anything the Orange Menace proposed. He sees the way the wind is blowing and is trying to avoid blame somehow.
How does one spell “Nurenberg”, anyway???
8You know what gets me is how some of Trumpf’s orbit have gone to such lengths to please him. They say such ridiculous things with a straight face (maybe a sarcastic smirk). I hope their day is coming when they regret being such fools. Wolf is looking out for his reputation as several of you have pointed out, but the hangers on somehow think continued ass kissing is going to help them. Trumpf doesn’t care about them. Geeze, read a few books about him written by people that have been there. He only cares about himself.
9The media needs to start saying it out loud- he’s mentally ill, severely.
One impeached monster surrounded by an entire crew all complicit and readily playing the Dr. Frankenstein role. Our Constitution is quite clear. The Senate could have convicted the impeached Donnie. At anytime dropping the 25th on the 45 was an option. But now after saying “it’s up to the voters” many of that same complicit gang are once again standing idly by while their boy is taking his final shot at the rule of law.
Openly stating that maybe the Republicon governors can be “persuaded” to tamper with the Electoral College. That’s sedition because the law states we have to be at war for treason to be the charge. The law. But when an entire maladministration and cabal of fluffers is at war with democracy we should be able to call it treason and make it stick.
10With “Hangin Chad” heading off to South America, I suspect he just wanted to look tough before his Job Interview In Brazil…. and make sure they won’t extradite him……
11Might be we’re watching the beginnings of a murmuration in the Republican flock of loons. No offense, Canadians, not YOUR loons!
12After Mark Esper was fired his undersecretary for policy, James Anderson, resigned. Some people applauded as Anderson left the Pentagon and now Trump wants their names so he can fire them, too. The pettiness has no limits. This is what it’s like to live in a second-rate dictatorship.
13Curiously, Chad Wolf is STILL awaiting confirmation by the Senate. He probably was put in the position in an illegal move. He definitely has been in position far beyond the period allowed by the Vacancies Act.
His situation may be weird enough that a committee of the new House ought to call him to testify before he resigns or is fired on the afternoon of January 20.
14Nice that Trumpf is finally getting his (para)military parade at his latest super duper spreader event. And of course der fuhrer ventured out of his bunker to review the “troops”. Someone will need to fumigate DC before actual humans are allowed to walk those streets.
15Hope herd immunity works bigly on these yahoos and maybe thin them out- a lot.
In other Disturbance-In-The-Force news today, Kayleigh McEnany tweeted that one million people did in fact show up at the hyperbolically named Million MAGA March. I believe estimates from authorities based on planet Earth suggested it’s more like thousands.
No wonder they’re suing election officials, these people just can’t count.
16I fully expect Trump to order Barr to fire this guy, and he will do so because “just following orders”. Sorry it has taken Wolf to long to figure it out, but better late than never, I guess. And yes John@14, the legitimacy of Wolf’s position is highly questionable.
I harbor a now-daily fantasy a la the movie “Ghost” wherein the demons drag the bad guys screaming down to hell. I figure the Quintumverate Trump/Barr/Guilliani/McConnell/Graham. In any case, their time of reckoning will come and it will not go well for them, however “Christian” they may profess to be.
17Chad Wolf is NOT a good guy. He tried to suspend DACA, among other atrocities. Federal Court stopped him because he is not legally DHS director.
18Mr Wolf is only 1 of 15 appointees operating illegally because they’ve yet to be approved by Congress.
19Wolf was also pushing for family separation. In Jacob Soboroff’s “Separated” Wolf is one of the 5 or 6 most culpable.
I am hoping that these people, if they ever travel to Europe, will be arrested and indicted as Pinochet was.
