Step one: identify the target(s)
What’s taking so long? These bastards should have been fired on inauguration day. Obama wasted no time in dumping Bush appointees. These mutts have one purpose in mind and that is to destroy the Trump presidency.
If they are known to President Trump’s team, fire them immediately. As soon as yhey are known to President Trump’s team, fire them. Enough pussy-footing.
Have a Mandetory Meeting of all with the OBama worms, all and then,... FIRE THEM ALL!!!!!! HAVE the press in another room and tell them whay was just done and snd out a Formal Notorized Written Transcript of what was told to the Press, that ends with the words, NOW SHUT UP!!!
He won't be making the same waves as Trump but he will go about his business and git 'er done...
Fire them-—do NOT transfer them. They will only do more damage elsewhere & with a higher degree of vengence.
NO country needs this kind of help in it’s efforts to protect the entire country.
Other countries would take them out & shoot them on live TV.
President of the united states has complete control of the pentagon!!
Oh! Hmmm, what to do. Hmmmm.
