David Brooks, opinion columnist for the NY Times and frequent guest on PBS Newshour, was asked about Trump’s agenda—or is it the Heritage Foundation’s agenda?—and how much of it will actually come to fruition.
If I heard him correctly, Brooks said that it depends on resistance from various quarters. He acknowledged that there looks to be little internal resistance from incoming nominees and such, so it’s going to have to come from the House and Senate members on the “outside” who still possess some level of integrity and independent thinking.
Sounds like things are gonna get real in a hurry. Those elected to office who haven’t yet drank the Kool-Aid will actually have to govern, put their careers and reputations on the line. And other federal employees who take their jobs seriously will have something to say about the caliber and effectiveness of the incoming class of nominees.
In a perfect world, Kash Patel and the rest will be chewed up and spit out by proud, dedicated workforces who refuse to suffer the indignity of being led by vengeful, angry, and incompetent Trump sycophants and pretenders. May the same go for Congress.
