The human wrecking balls Trump has nominated to head key federal agencies have to understand what war they’re bringing.
They’re not agents of chaos. That’s what their targets will be feeling.
The whole question is: how do you dig out all the corrupt slime who are infesting your own agency and are trying to undermine you at every turn?
