After Watergate, Congress created a system to audit the executive branch and protect the rights of federal workers. Those offices became known as watchdogs. Now, for the first time in 44 years, President Trump has fired these officials en masse. https://cbsn.ws/4bEkPdC - ThreadSky

Thank you 60 minutes for highlighting what’s going on. The last few weeks your show has been one of the few getting facts to Americans

77 million easily conned American idiots - a majority of them "Christians" - voted for an evil CONVICTED FELON. And then that FELON fired all the U.S. watchdogs to ensure his cultists didn't know he was cheating them out of their U.S. tax dollars.
SUCKERS!

Would love to see some conversations with GOP senators asking why they are supporting a traitor. Are they being threatened? Blackmailed? Bribed? Are they also compromised?

What will be done about it?

Mass protest, probably a civil war.

I always thought of "laissez-faire" as strictly an economic view; now it seems to be a political view. Reducing the size of government (a great idea) can be hiding the belief that men/women are angels and in no need for supervision.
