I hope Trump copies the model for his transition team, and moves many of the federal bureaucrtic agencies' headquarters out of Washington - indeed, out of the entire Beltway Zoo perimeter. Imagine a nation where the vilest of these agencies (think Department of Education) are shut down, and the rest are HQ'd in, say, Morgantown WV and Ithaca NY and Pueblo NM ....

This would destroy the DC Metro economy. Where will all the K Street lobbyists go? What about all the DOD contractors? Who will the IC spy on? Who will attend all the DC Galas and power lunches? ….. Don’t know, don’t care.
I watched a speech of Tucker’s and he said that until Trump, he didn’t realize that the reason 8 of the 10 richest counties in the nation were in DC was because they had stolen it.
They have no business, they produce nothing, they just take what they are not entitled to.
Swampocracy built on top of a fetid reeking swamp home to denizens of poisonous reptiles and amphibians of dubious nature, quicksand and brackish bacterial choked waters
I’ve been praying for the abolishment of the DOE since 1991. 23 years. And God sent me Donald Trump. I would love to work a long side his team as they dismantle this evil machine…!
Our Colorado Rockies have been the elite playground and meeting spot for generations...we'll take them all here. Too far gone anyway just garbage it up
I've been saying that for years. Put the departments in places where only people who really want to work on the departments' true mission will be willing to relocate to.
And the CIA, since they are SO concerned with Russia Russia Russia should move to Nome Alaska.
How about just a deep space probe? Elon has the rockets and I bet he'd lend a few to the effort. (And write them off before any tax law change-and I'm ok with tha!)
Feds already own a whole lot of unused square feet around there. Lots of empty missile silos that go deep underground. Wiring, plumbing, everything ready. Just needs the cubicles and desks. Great way for them to crawl back under the rock they slithered out from. Literally.
I knew whatever town I picked wouldn't want 'em ;) so... maybe somewhere they'll be mostly eaten by bears? That's likely to shift a few attitudes about reality versus social constructs or how important it is to coerce deference to one's identity as a nonbinary dinosaur fart, in the grand scheme of things. Also okay if 98% of them rage-quit and end up picking melons or rebuilding roads. Moving to Canada - they should really do it this time!
So true!!! I lived there for several years and have family there that are very much entrenched in leftist views (extreme COVID madness) and TDS. It is "gorges" but should not be trusted to be a hub for any revitalization effort.

They can learn to code 😑😆
Or start selling used cars (EVs only so they can keep their lefty cred).

They can crawl back into the whome they crawled out of
Ukraine needs to be rebuilt they can have them all

I remember my Mom being so upset about having to join the union and all the additional levels of rules and regulations.
Ugh, don’t send them to New Mexico either, one of the most corrupt 1 party states in the country.
Don't send them to Pennsylvania because PA cheats in elections.
It's gonna be really hard picking the states. Shipping in "true blue workers" might be kinda iffy.

Maybe they should move their offices to Russia. It would make it easier to spy on them from in country.
They already do via the U.S Embassy, have been since the 50's.
I know, but that's different than getting them totally out of DC.
Isn’t there a US flag on the moon somewhere? . Still too close for me.
Mars? 🤔
oh! Combine this effort with Musk's effort to reach Mars! Perfect!
First group of people to move there: John Kelly, John Brennan, Mark Miley, Lloyd Austin, Victoria Nuland, Marc Elias, Alexander Vindman...

Why mess up nice towns like that?
We could take a leaf from the Manhattan Project: Quonset huts out in the desert.
Now, that I could get onboard with!
The entire DoJ needs to be rebuilt from the ground up, preferably in Ogallala, Nebraska.

Hey now, if that means bringing the crazy in we are not ok with it. NE has enough issues w OMA/LNK..

That is the danger with moving them out of DC, they'll find out we have gorgeous country! I do like the bears idea tho..
Not Ithaca!! Too many Cornell lefties there!
I thought the same

Ithaca must be a hotbed of progressives--necessarily a component of a uni?
