More people he needs to fire.
Mr Kirby will be packing his s**t on Jan 20
Anybody else get the feeling our government was so much worse that we could have ever thought?
I would issue broad orders for information upon inauguration. THose who do not comply cited for insubordination.
Anti-transition action by Swampy Bottom. Stand by to be drained.

Good luck putting your state department experience of making giant boogers on your desk with rubber glue and your vast knowledge of the Internet porn sites on your resume!
This is a no-win issue for Trump, and he may want to take a cue from the State Department's intransigence and walk away from it. It is so far down the list of priorities facing this country that it's almost disturbing to see it getting so much media attention.
He’s actually right. Obama is president until noon on Jan 20. At 12:01pm, the changes, housecleaning, and dismissals can begin. We may not like Obama’s policies, but we are stuck with them for 2 more weeks.
Well, make a list of people Congress cuts salary to $1 if they can’t fire him.
Drain the swamp.
Fire as many as he can, and transfer the others to the consulate in Tierra del Fuego
Your Fired January 20, 2017
In essence, they are refusing to work; therefore, they need to clean-out their desks, and look through the want ads.
This is a manufactured non-story, imo.
You don’t change policies, or work to help a President-Elect prepare for changing the policies in direct defiance of the sitting President. If you did, THAT would be newsworthy.
Allow a couple of weeks to go by and it’s all moot. THEN, if the State Dept actively worked to defy the new President it would be newsworthy, and heads would/should roll.
>>President-elect Trump won’t get any help from the State Department in implementing Israeli-relation policies opposed by President Obama before his inauguration. “The short answer is no,” State Department spokesman John Kirby told reporters. “You have one president at a time.”<<
I agree with this direction (no offense). You have to go with the current chain of command.
Trying to please new and old just ends up with FUBAR.
Hardly “sabotage.”
Who in the Hell does he think makes national policy? It sure isn’t the scum-sucking State Dept!
At this point I no longer want to drain the swamp.
I want it NUKED.
Well, it would be unusual (and, IMO, improper) for an executive branch department to aid in upending the incumbent’s position. This is best left to the State transition group until 1/20, then walk in the door at 12:01pm and do what President Trump wants by, among other things, throwing their sorry arses out.
No. Sounds right.
Trump is not the President, Obama is.
For 14 more days.
Then State works for Trump.
Too bad he can’t clean it out. Maybe that thing about changing their wages to $1 could help?
