Remember during the election, when Donald Trump warned of a 'bloodbath' in the economy (specifically the auto industry) if Kamala Harris won?
The media spent weeks clutching pearls over this 'call to violence' (after they conveniently took the 'bloodbath' remark out of context).
Hold up. I was assured by the press that using the term "bloodbath" was an explicit call to violence and should not be done in polite society.

Now, suddenly, saying something is a 'bloodbath' is okay again, because it's related to something President Trump is doing at the DOJ:

The Trump administration has quietly transformed the Justice Department’s Civil Rights Division, forcing out a majority of career managers and implementing new priorities that current and former officials say abandon a decadeslong mission of enforcing laws that prohibit discrimination in hiring, housing and voting rights.
More than a dozen senior lawyers — many with decades of experience working under presidents of both parties — have been reassigned, the current and former officials say. Some have resigned in frustration after they were moved to less desirable roles unrelated to their expertise, according to the sources.
'It’s been a complete bloodbath,' said a senior Justice Department lawyer in the division who is not authorized to speak publicly.

Same.
Exactly what needed to happen. DOJ career attorneys have worked those halls since his first term, subverting him every chance they could.

There needed to be a major housecleaning.
I definitely voted for meltdowns.

They can learn to code.
The civil rights division has seems to be mostly focused on denying people’s civil rights for decades.

Yes, it is.
“I was there almost 18 years, and what’s happening now is basically the opposite of what we’ve been doing,” whined one veteran lawyer who recently left the department.

Yes. Good. Exactly. https://t.co/3ZrcjtGjfn
Exactly what we needed.
This is great! I knew Ms Dhillon would excel in this job.
