Outgoing White House staff and President Obama-appointees are struggling to find new work after Donald Trump and Republicans generally swept into office last November.
Thousands of Obama loyalists are struggling to find work in a city now dominated by the GOP, according to a report from Politico. “It feels like there are just thousands of us trying to find a job, and there are no jobs,” Mira Patel, a longtime Clinton aide told Politico.
Democratic operatives and Obama staffers no longer have the more than 4,000 presidential appointed jobs to transition to after President-elect Trump takes office.
Politico describes how a generation of young operatives from the Hillary Clinton campaign and failed down-ballot races are still managing their “shock and grief” from Clinton’s loss.

Well then- check out of Trumpworld, buttercups! High buildings and bridges abound. You also have lots of free drugs and prescription meds. You’re only limited by your imaginations/guts.

I don’t recall any stories about the plight of Bush loyalists
To all unemployed lefties in DC: “Call the whaaaaambulance!”
I wish I could find a copy of that old cartoon where the weasel was laughing before he ate the cute little bunnies.
I checked her bio, I don't think she has anything to worry about. MBA from Wharton, BA from Wellesley, I sense crocodile tears here.
I think she'd rather work in the cloistered arena known as "public service", rather than the (gasp) horror of working at a (gasp) profit-making enterprise.
Like a lot of people who put their career path in the hands of Hillary Clinton,
Does anyone remember her stories like these in the past?
Washington Post, November 19, 2008: Senators Urge Bush to Stop Converting Political Posts to Civil Service Jobs:
Democrats in the Senate called on President Bush to halt any effort by his administration to place political appointees in career jobs just weeks before his team leaves office.But the White House yesterday said there is no orchestrated effort to embed Bush loyalists in the federal workforce before Barack Obama's inauguration Jan. 20. As happens with any handover of administration, hundreds of current officials in political jobs will be forced to relinquish their posts, and career workers will stay on.
Spokeswoman Dana Perino said that as a "matter of policy, the White House has not encouraged noncareer appointees to seek career positions in order to further the president's policies. The White House doesn't play a role in that career hiring process."
[snip]
Sens. Charles E. Schumer (D-N.Y.) and Dianne Feinstein (D-Calif.) wrote to Bush, saying that the recent transfers suggest a "regrettable, but entirely foreseeable" last-minute rush to fill jobs with administration allies. The senators urged Bush to keep his pledge of a smooth transition without partisan maneuvering.
"Today's report reveals that senior members of your administration are undermining your public commitment to ease the transition by reorganizing agencies at the eleventh hour and installing political appointees in key positions for which they may not be qualified," they wrote. "We respectfully urge you to stand by your public commitment to a smooth transition by directing executive agencies immediately to halt any conversions of political appointees to career positions."

For eight LONG years each month when the unemployment report came out the rats in the 0bama regime snickered and derided those looking for work, while proclaiming that the Hussein was a Jobs Creator. Now THEY can go find one of those millions of [mythical] jobs that were "created". Ha, Ha, Ha, Ha.
Idiots
When the prospect that fellow employees might lose their jobs all at the same time - the smarter ones would have been casting resumes around BEFORE the election - and definitely by 9th of Nov.
You, indeed, can’t fix stupid.
Of course there are jobs. The media have assured us for eight years that this is the Best Recovery Ever. They assured us that unemployment is Very Low. They just have to take all those jobs created by Hope and Change . . . or are they finally noticing why so many working Americans voted against a third Obama term?
I love the gods of karma
So Mr. Smith, tell us what you did over at the Clinton Campaign?
“I was in IT”
Next applicant please.....
Everyone thinks this is a cure all but it isn't. Ay teacher no matter how incompetent can be made to look good by scheduling the students to make it possible, but the same method any teacher can be made to look bad by scheduling the right stunts into the class.
Success is also influenced by the subject matter. Believe it or not more students would rather study the sex life of teenage girls than the periodic table.
Obie needs to reopen his stash ...
