1) who exactly in TimoGard? 2) Perhaps you should go and read the Gizmodo article. It specifically said that they are not being asked to stay on past noon on January 20th.

No one likes him,He don't know why,He knows that he's perfect,So why in hell try?But all around, media 'lites put 'im down,He'll drop the big one, on lib'rul eeee-lites.

Hmmm... Should we bet the ranch on TimoGard? I'll be curious to see how this plays out. Trump could have changed his "mind" five minutes after his first "decision." Maybe he'll tell us next Tuesday or Wednesday, for sure.

Why, this sounds like just the sort of thing Vladimir Putin would like from another nuclear superpower. Too bad China doesn't have elections.

... which, if he hadn't inherited his daddy's money (and access to his business/political connections), would be exactly where he'd be. As it is, Little Donnie is the epitome of someone who's "a success in spite of themselves."

Congress seems eager to push through confirmations without vetting. That layer of bureaucracy cannot be counted on. Within the agencies themselves I expect that those that delay the agenda will be purged, considering Congress is already looking reinstitute old rules and roll back federal employee disciplinary protections.

This is part of his purge of each and every single Obama appointee in government. He told all ambassadors to be gone Jan. 20. This is personal - he is so childish he wants ALL Obama appointees gone Jan. 20. He wouldn't even take Obama's playground set for his grandkids. This goes back to that correspondent's dinner thing. Plus how he feels about the blahs.

I dunno . . . I would have thought an optimist, with a "glass half full" mentality, might conclude that we are only half fucked, whereas a pessimist would say we were well and truly fucked.

I myself, as a dual national, holding both UK and US citizenship, feel DOUBLY fucked, what with Brexit in the UK and Trump in the US.
