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 Clintons loss.

Your Violin is too big.
Let them eat toilet cake.
Welcome to the Obama economy!
How can this be? You Hillary operatives and Obama suck ups have been touting the great 5% unemployment numbers for the last eight years.

Only 500,000???
ITEM---Trump should checkout the no-show cronies relatives and family Hillary put on the State Dept payroll....and waterboard Cheryl Mills to find out what happened to the missing 6 billion Hillary "misplaced."
ITEM---House Republicans revive obscure rule that allows them to slash the pay of [federal workers to $1]
WaPo ^ | Jenna Portnoy and Lisa Rein / FR Posted by RoosterRedux
House Republicans this week reinstated an arcane procedural rule that enables lawmakers to reach deep into the budget and slash the pay of an individual federal worker down to $1 a move that threatens to upend the 130-year-old civil service.
The Holman Rule, named after an Indiana congressman who devised it in 1876, empowers any member of Congress to propose amending an appropriations bill to single out a government employee or cut a specific program.
The use of the rule would not be simple; a majority of the House and the Senate would still have to approve any such amendment. At the same time, opponents and supporters agree that the work of 2.1 million civil servants, designed to be insulated from politics, is now vulnerable to the whims of elected officials.
The revival of the Holman Rule was the brainchild of Rep. H. Morgan Griffith (R-Va.), who is intent on increasing the powers of individual members of Congress to reassign workers as policy demands.
He favors a strategic application, likening it to a bullet from a sniper rifle rather than a shotgun. Its unlikely but not impossible that members will go crazy and cut huge swaths of the workforce, he said. (Excerpt) Read more at washingtonpost.com ...
Exactly.
I have an idea! Move to Hollywood I’m sure they can find some work for you
...and several SS agents are counting down the days to being reassigned from Valerie Jarrett’s security detail. She’ll have to carry her own briefcase now.
Hey Obama Loyalists, the Coal Miners your bosses put out of work send you the above message. hahahaha
“Very few have had private sector experience. Wonks for life; they can always join ISIS.”
I’ve noticed the most violent, nonsensical rantings against Trump on Facebook have been from people I know who are getting a government check.
The great dislocation of 0bama federal employees will be reported in post-Inauguration unemployment reports; hence, it will be reported as Trump’s fault.
Schadenboner. I have one.

Since Zero took office federal employees have had it far better than their civilian counterparts. About time they felt the crap the rest of us have been going through because maybe it might help change things for everyone for the better.
Don’t these idjits know the best time to find work in an out-going presidential administration is about a year or two before the POTUS leaves office, not the month before. Just because your resume says you worked in the WH does not guarantee you a job, especially if it is the losing partisan side!
