2. migration: rounding up anyone “too brown” to put in for-profit death camps or deport them overseas to suffer and possibly die.

4. firing competents, replacing with loyalists

My money is on the latter. Math illiteracy means no one calling Trump on affordability, inflation, and other economic figures.

The Change by Kirsten Miller is kind of a whodunnit mixed with questions like this. If you’re in the “no” camp here, you might love The Change as much as I do. Miller’s story is FICTION “inspired” by wealthy pedos escaping justice. I reread when I need justice instead of impunity for the wealthy.

Richard Hanania should be investigated imo. Check his online history. Check his hard drives.
Have any women or children accused him of assault (as opposed to consensual sex at a legal age of consent)?
I won’t be surprised if people come forward.
Nor if he’s a sock puppet account for someone else.
