I wanted TENS of THOUSANDS of Obama hold-overs gone the first day. At this rate, it’ll take 20,000 years to drain the swamp.

Betsy needs to start firing those who don’t leave of their own volition!

One down, thousands of liberal plants to go. I suggest re-assign all of them be re-assigned to watching grass grow or something meaningful to a liberal minds, then, backfill with trusted Conservatives. Expensive? Yes. But also effective at stopping lots of nonsense.

Trump’s job interviews probably go something like this:

Yeah but....a firing/dismissal just means a lateral transfer or promotion with the Feds.
