Awwwwww, . Things just started getting real for Dirty Don
| quote: | Secretary of State Rex Tillerson’s job running the State Department just got considerably more difficult. The entire senior level of management officials resigned Wednesday, part of an ongoing mass exodus of senior foreign service officers who don’t want to stick around for the Trump era.
Suddenly on Wednesday afternoon, Kennedy and three of his top officials resigned unexpectedly, four State Department officials confirmed. Assistant Secretary of State for Administration Joyce Anne Barr, Assistant Secretary of State for Consular Affairs Michele Bond and Ambassador Gentry O. Smith, director of the Office of Foreign Missions, followed him out the door. All are career foreign service officers who have served under both Republican and Democratic administrations.
“It’s the single biggest simultaneous departure of institutional memory that anyone can remember, and that’s incredibly difficult to replicate,” said David Wade, who served as State Department chief of staff under Secretary of State John Kerry. “Department expertise in security, management, administrative and consular positions in particular are very difficult to replicate and particularly difficult to find in the private sector.”

At least read what you post. This is from that CNN article
| quote: | | All four, career officers serving in positions appointed by the President, submitted letters of resignation per tradition at the beginning of a new administration. The letters from the White House said that their resignations were accepted and they were thanked for their service. The White House usually asks career officials in such positions to stay on for a few months until their successors are confirmed. "Any implication that that these four people quit is wrong," one senior State Department official said. "These people are loyal to the secretary, the President and to the State Department. There is just not any attempt here to dis the President. People are not quitting and running away in disgust. This is the White House cleaning house." |

Er, that's the whole point; This is the statement put out by the white house following the sudden resignations.
| quote: | | Ambassador Richard Boucher, who served as State Department spokesman for Colin Powell and Condoleezza Rice, said that while there’s always a lot of turnover around the time a new administration takes office, traditionally all senior officials work with the new team to see who should stay on in their roles and what other jobs might be available. But that’s not what happened this time. |
The senior people (2nd only to Rex Tillerson) resigning all worked in their position at least 9 years, under bush, through Obama so it's "not tradition" (otherwise they would have left after bush).
Read the Washington post article. You'll see the resignations were not planned as part of the regular transition process - that's how it's being spun as we speak.
Funny how I called it though |

The best part about it is that every single news story that breaks is supposedly the next "Trump Killer" and is CERTAIN to be grounds for impeachment.
Breaking News: Trump is getting away with everything because that's how the system is structured. Until the Republican House/Senate decide they are sick of him, this ing clown is going to be making headlines every single day. HE IS the news. I see him being a 4 year president, I highly doubt he will be impeached after making it this far. |

You need to stop taking yourself so pathetically seriously and remove the stick so heavily lodged up your rectum; I'm having a bit of fun. If you'd been paying attention, you'll see I've said countless times that very little, if anything at all will come of any of these stories, I just love the salacious nature of how this bat administration is playing out, and their followers who get so butthurt that Trump isn't the gleaming pillar of success he so desperately wants to portray.

Nah, you'll still be rolling around complaining about how everyone is so tiresome, and you hate your patients, but your life is somehow fabulous despite all the simpletons that mar your existence. |

As I said in this and other threads, NOTHING will happen to Trump unless the GOP decide he's a danger to their power, or he tanks the economy.
Everything else he can survive with just a simple pivot to his benefit.
"Clinton took money from Golman Sachs! She's a crook!"
Trump puts 5 ex GS executives in his cabinet. "who else better to run the economy than the top bankers?!"
"grab em by the ...do whatever you want"
"Just locker room talk, amirite guys?" Hi five!
That's how this is going to play out. The only way he's going out before 4 is if the markets crash, at that point he might become a pariah that the GOP want to dump.
Otherwise, it's 4 years (at least) of Dirty Don. |

| I actually could see 8 years depending on the economy. Trump has proven the facts aren't as important as we thought. If all things remain the same who could the Democrats find to compete against him? |
