Drudge Retort: The Other Side of the News
Monday, January 13, 2025

It's now less than a week before Donald Trump is sworn in for his second term, and every sign out there is pointing toward him using the power of the presidency in ways no one else has before him. And this isn't simply conjecture.

Trump has been telling us exactly what he intends to do for well over a year now. Remember how in late 2023, Trump told Sean Hannity that he would only be a dictator on day one? Well, that's not exactly the question Hannity asked. Listen to that exchange again.

So, the question Hannity asked was actually about whether Trump would promise the American people to not abuse power in order to seek retribution, and Trump's answer was that he would only do that on day one.

"There are multiple reports that Trump will sign 100 executive orders on day one, and only a few of these will involve the border and drilling for oil. The rest of them? They will be the first steps in Trump's retribution.

In fact, incoming senior Trump administration officials have now started questioning career civil servants who work on the White House National Security Council about their loyalty. Not their loyalty to the United States, but their loyalty to Donald J. Trump.

'

The questions these civil servants have had to answer involve who they voted for in the 2024 election, their political contributions and whether they have made any social media posts that would have criticized Donald Trump or his policies.

This is the clearest sign that at least one of Trump's executive orders will be to remove as many career civil servants as possible in order to replace them with people who are exceedingly loyal to Donald Trump."

Hey STD - I'm curious. What was it like to debase and reduce yourself to the status of pathetic brain-dead moron so you can feel OK about your political affiliation? So you can defend those you voted for? What's it like to have self-pithed your frontal cortex so you can be OK with defending all of it?

I live at the edge of the DC area, and the newsradio station this morning was talking with a homeland security person about the inauguration. Said that any group generally generates enough chatter for them to be on law enforcement radar, but it's the truly lone wolf they worry about -- and that there will be plenty of visible and not visible forms of police presence to keep chances of harm down.

Keep this in mind when crowd size numbers come in.

@#9 ... Keep this in mind when crowd size numbers come in. ...

Another thing to keep in mind ...

The nominee for leading the Department of Defense avoided answering the simple question of whether he would use the US military upon civilians who were protesting.

It was a simple question, and he seemed to refuse to answer it.
