Summary

Donald Trump told a Department of Justice crowd that his 2024 victory gave him a ā€œmandateā€ for a broad investigation into Democratic corruption.

He attacked the courts for prosecuting him and praised his loyalist DOJ officials. Speaking at DOJ headquarters, he vowed to purge ā€œrogue actorsā€ and criticized judges, calling some ā€œcorrupt.ā€

Attorney General Pam Bondi introduced him, breaking DOJ tradition of independence.

Trump also called for legal action against news outlets and advocacy groups, claiming they are political operatives working against him.

    Only 30K?

    Its still nearly four times larger than the largest existing American prison, which is already 8 times times larger than the average prison.

    Clearly they have larger plans for incarceration than any previous administration.

      Youā€™re right. Itā€™s still very fucked up whatever the plan. Itā€™s just fucked up in a different way than I would be expecting. Not sure if itā€™s the Nazi plan with incompetence or something else entirely.
