So far, the worst president in all of American history has nominated only 10 ambassadors, out of 188 positions he's supposed to fill. And what makes that even worse, is that he fired all the ambassadors who were in place without any intention of or plan for replacing them. He'd rather just cry about it and point fingers. In fact, there are only 6 pending ambassadorial appointments wending their way-- in an orderly, responsible fashion-- through the Republican-controlled Senate. And one that horrid wife of New Gingrich, who Señor Trumpanzee is foisting on Pope Francis.
Over all, there are 15 Trump appointments waiting confirmation by the Senate-- not just ambassadorial but all jobs-- while 39 have been confirmed. There are still 442 jobs the imbecile hasn't nominated anyone for. Like, for example, the U.S. Attorneys. Eager to further obstruct justice, he suddenly fired all the U.S. Attorneys in the country-- every single one of them-- and forced them to leave their offices immediately. And he had-- and still has-- no replacements lined up. Trump is a danger to the United States. Congress should begin impeachment proceedings. And if the Democrats win back the House in 2018 and Pelosi pulls one of her "off the table" bullshit excuses, she should be unceremoniously fired by the Democratic members from leadership-- and replaced by someone who will do what she won't. Whatever this fiasco cost Vladimir Putin, it was the best investment he ever made in his whole miserable life.
Maybe Trump does not intend (though I doubt he has any thought out intention about anything) to fill these positions - a great way to destroy the state department and the legal system. Who needs diplomats? Who needs attorneys general? He has no respect for anything about our government. He thrives on dragging us all down into the swamp he lives in.
ReplyDeleteTrump is so blatantly incompetent, stupid, ignorant, dangerous and insane it is mind boggling. Let alone criminal and treasonous.
How long can this keep going on?
Hone, he has multiple problems with these. His Svengalis (bannon, miller, maybe pence) don't believe government is useful and would gladly cause it to rot from the inside out by convincing the putin puppet not to bother with those appointments.
ReplyDeleteThe other problem is that everyone hates the drumpfsterfire. They don't trust him and know he's a total moron that only cares about being rich and worshipped. Plus he and his admin are being investigated by congress (not very enthusiastically) and by the FBI (possible enthusiasm) with some aspects also in the DOJ crosshairs. There is technical treason there, certainly vote fraud and quite obvious violations of the emoluments clause along with many other possible crimes. Nobody that has any designs on career advancement wants that stench anywhere near them. Nobody wants to work for that pos just like nobody wanted to work for his "businesses" because he has a long record of failure to pay his contractors.
Either way, we will get a hollowed out government that won't or can't function. Better hope no Katrina or Sandy occurs during this admin. As bad as the response to those were, the next one will be far worse.
He SHOULD have been jailed for fraud before the election. He should have been impeached on the emoluments clause on day 1 and each day since. He should be impeached for leaving the Paris accords.
ReplyDeleteBut then we get president pence of the united white male states of jeezis... and nothing likely will change.
Thank gawd the DNC and DxCCs are on the case to save our sorry asses in 2018!! Oh wait, Pelosi doesn't ever impeach anyone for anything. Maybe 2020.
Yeah the same Nancy Pelosi who said Democrats are not for impeachment she's all about Money for her corporate donors.
