2. that's the reason for the purges....not efficiency or cost savings or poor performance. Loyalty. What the GOP did

to itself to purge moderates and normal republicans such as Kinzinger is exactly what they are doing to the fed govt including the courts and dept of justice. MSM and big tech appear to be falling all over themselves to do the same.

This is a once-in-several-generations sea change....domestically and globally.

One can think of many reasons why they are doing this. More efficient government, better quality of life for Americans, safer global dynamics, election integrity, and healthy world are not among the reasons IMHO.
