It's a purge of all Democrats. Dicyayors first step is to pyge oppositiom and consolidate power; text book path ptobably recommrnded by Vladimir Putin.Never expected we would have a American President so subservient to a Russian dictator. Sad day for America. Left wing commentators are referring to our Vichy government; where is Charles De Galle?

@#3 ... It's a purge of all Democrats. ...

It looks to me to be more of a purge of those who adhere to their oath of service to the Country, i.e., the Constitution, instead of declaring their fealty to Pres Trump.

Already hobbled herself by purposely being pro unions as the board is required to be neutral.
