There is a chance that some of the Defense Department’s 53 appointed positions requiring Senate confirmation will be vacant for a long time.....So? Mad Dog is there. He’ll work a round that crap and we’ll save money.

Why stop @ Zero? Bush didn’t do us any favors either. Keep going back until the ‘religion of peace’ is stripped, burned and buried.

That’s a good idea (it’s a start), but we still need more done than that.

I think recess appointments only last for a limited period of time.

Any and all fraud, sedition, and treason committed by these almost assuredly anti-American Obama appointments must be investigated and broadcasted across America

Yup

Too many criminals, pols and others, were let slide w/Obama/Holder/Lynch

The Justice dept needs to go to work big time.

Basically. I think all the flag officers forcibly retired under Obama would find good fits as civilian appointees. Mattis would keep them in line.
