NOBODY who's ANYBODY in National Security is willing to work with Trump. Team Trump Struggling to Fill National Security Jobs Team Trump is struggling to fill numerous key slots or even attract many candidates because hundreds have either sworn they’d never work in a Trump administration or have directly turned down requests to join, multiple current and former U.S. officials with direct knowledge of the transition efforts told The Daily Beast.
Imagine how much it sucks to be these people. Obama tried to stay upbeat about the elections. These pictures of grim White House aides tell another story.
A STRANGE GAME. THE ONLY WINNING MOVE IS NOT TO PLAY. HOW ABOUT A NICE GAME OF CHESS? I would imagine most people with the necessary experience, see how the dominoes will fall, and don't want their name attached to the outcome. So best case are people willing to fall on that sword, for country, and try to minimize the damage. Worse case is someone woefully unprepared/qualified.
I would bet that Reince Preibus is gonna be Chief of Staff. No way the establishment goes for Bannon. I've gotta say I think it's such beautiful irony that Trump was elected because "he is an outsider" but, because he is an outsider and doesn't know how the game is played, he is going to fill his cabinet and staff positions with establishment people who can run things for him. Congrats Trump supporters, way to think this thing through.
Leaving the country is NOT off the table. And yes, I do understand the joke. Actually need a little levity right now.
Oh God ... http://www.nytimes.com/2016/11/16/us/politics/trump-transition.html WASHINGTON — President-elect Donald J. Trump’s transition was in disarray on Tuesday, marked by firings, infighting and revelations that American allies were blindly dialing in to Trump Tower to try to reach the soon-to-be-leader of the free world.
Not the Onion. Petraeus will have to notify his probation officer if Trump taps him as secretary of state
