Good Riddance To Trash!

Upon reading the article, together with the CNN update, it would appear that the Washington Post was publishing more “fake” news. No surprise there.

So, instead of a rebellion against Trump within the senior levels at State, we now have Trump deciding he wants to put his own people in there so he accepted their resignations which they tendered as required at the beginning of any administration because they serve at the President’s pleasure.

The original version: Senior State management rebels against Trump.
The corrected version: Trump replaces senior management at State.

This is what we’re up against. Blatant lying by the press to make Trump look bad.

This means Trump gets to hire his own people, right? The swamp is being drained!

I think I just figured this out (I didn’t read the whole thread and maybe I’m late with this theory):

All these nimrods got enough of a cut of Hillary’s American Influence To Go business that they’re all retiring.

How about mid level also? Can they resign as an extra added bonus? State Dept and EPA need a complete turnover.

Ta-Ta, don’t let the door hit you in your tu-tu!

This ought to make it easier for AG Sessions to get some of those missing emails from Hillary.

[Tzimisce]

Good.

We can replace them with competent people. :)

“Diplomatic security, consular affairs, there’s just not a corollary that exists outside the department, and you at least can afford a learning curve in these areas where issues can quickly become matters of life and death,” he said. “The muscle memory is critical. These retirements are a big loss. They leave a void. These are very difficult people to replace.”

OK, so we have complicated bureaucracies and life-and-death decisions. Easy-peasy: just hire people who have run large hospitals, police departments or fire departments.

Hopefully, Islam-loving Arabists will leave, too.

Update:

Update: according to a CNN report - so as always take with lots of salt - the story has shifted materially, because according to two senior administration officials, it wasn't a resignation by the State Department officials, but more of a termination: "the Trump administration told four top State Department management officials that their services were no longer needed as part of an effort to "clean house" at Foggy Bottom."

PING!
