Mike Honcho 4,046 Posted March 7, 2018 NPR Turnover in Trump's first year was more than triple that in former President Barack Obama's first year, and double the rate in President Ronald Reagan's White House. A full 34 percent of high-level White House aides either resigned, were fired or moved into different positions in this first year of the Trump presidency. You don't see that kind of turnover at a Denny's. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

wiffleball 4,652 Posted March 7, 2018 And there appears to be no shortage of qualified replacements. As of the last reporting, there were more than 250 unfilled positions in the Trump Administration alone. That doesn't count the greater federal government areas such as crucial State Department positions, you know, like the crucial need to have a South Korean ambassador. Nor does it count crucial unfilled positions in intelligence or law enforcement agencies. Of those 250 unfilled positions, Trump doesn't even have nominees lined up. So it's not like he can blame the confirmation process. Man, 250 jobs open? Maybe he should contact monster.com Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Mike Honcho 4,046 Posted March 7, 2018 The economy is rocking, the market is flying high. President looking out for the USA. You keep the losers focused on that going no where witch hunt with the Russians and Mueller. Man, this is the way to run a presidency. Trump's golf course orders presidential seal tee markers. Is that legal? Federal law spells out that manufacturing or using the presidential seal for commercial use — unless authorized under regulations ordered by the president and published in the Federal Register — can be punishable with up to six months in prison, a fine or both. 6 people who have accused Donald Trump of cheating at golf The “law is an expression of the idea that the government and government authority should not be used for private purpose,” Kathleen Clark, a law professor at Washington University, told ProPublica. “It would be a misuse of government authority.” Bates said that there is nothing that specifically notes Donald Trump on the markers themselves. According to the U.S. Code, Title 18, Part I, Chapter 33, Section 713: "Whoever, except as authorized under regulations promulgated by the President and published in the Federal Register, knowingly manufactures, reproduces, sells, or purchases for resale, either separately or appended to any article manufactured or sold, any likeness of the seals of the President or Vice President, or any substantial part thereof, except for manufacture or sale of the article for the official use of the Government of the United States, shall be fined under this title or imprisoned not more than six months, or both."

Then he found out in his first week that they were responsible among other things for nuclear security. Trump is the same way writ large. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

wiffleball 4,652 Posted March 7, 2018 I'm confident those issues can be addressed regardless of White House admin turnover rates. HTH Well, as long as you're confident that's all that matters. You should look into the reason why Saddam thought he could skate right into Kuwait without any repercussions from the United States. It's an interesting read. I've said before, there is going to be a serious ratification. And it's going to be trscked back to the fact that we don't have 40% of our Justice or homesec or defense or state or whatever positions filled. Then and only then will you start to get something like this. But then will come the usual finger pointing and distractions to keep you from seeing the truth.

wiffleball 4,652 Posted March 7, 2018 a lot of us have been through something like this in the corporate world. There are certainly organizations, the federal government to be sure, that have scads of Deadwood in the system. No one would argue otherwise. And, if there was a team that was looking at job descriptions and responsibilities for every single position and or taking a look at recommendations from department heads themselves or something even remotely close to that, most of us would feel a little bit better. But just flat out not filling 30, 40, 50 per-cent of positions and waiting to see what fails as a result? That's a recipe for disaster. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
