Disappointed.

Generally think the "resistance" has won. The next 2 years likely will be a lot of pompous blustering from Trump and condescension from Pelosi with Mitch and Schumer controlling the actual legislative agendas and the media whoremongering for the dems.

Nothing changes in the swamp.

Idk, Trump has done a lot of things without the approval or help of Congress. Does it mean less bills coming out of Congress for him to sign? Sure. But that never stopped him from doing what he wants anyways. The wall might not get done (I still don't know why the right won't offer up DREAMers in exchange for wall funding, that would prob swing some votes their way). But what else major legislation can only be done with Congress' help?

Also another reason I think the resistance hasn't won: Inside the WH, Mattis, Tillerson, McMaster were all parts of the resistance, and all are gone. The more yes men Trump gets inside the WH, the stronger he gets. It's obvious he doesn't like having advisors with dissenting opinions.

Re: Former Trump Administration Employees

...another one leaves!




https://www.bbc.com/news/world-us-canada-46773138


Department of Defence chief of staff Kevin Sweeney has resigned, a month after the Defence Secretary James Mattis announced his departure.

Rear Admiral Sweeney said in a statement that "the time is right to return to the private sector".

He is now the third senior Pentagon official to announce his resignation since President Donald Trump announced US forces would leave Syria.

Officials have said there is no timetable for the troop departure.

Rear Adm Sweeney held his post for two years from January 2017.


In a terse resignation letter, he said it had been an "an honour to serve" alongside his colleagues in the department, but made no mention of Mr Trump.

His announcement comes days after General Mattis left his post early, after initially planning to stay in his role until February.

His departure adds to a sense of uncertainty surrounding the Trump administration's defence and foreign policies since the surprise announcement of the planned withdrawal from Syria, analysts say.

On Tuesday, Secretary of State Mike Pompeo will embark on a week-long tour of the Middle East designed to reassure allies in the region.

Re: Former Trump Administration Employees

And another one bites the dust.................

Business
After butting heads with Trump administration, top HUD official departs agency

Tracy Jan ,
Arelis R. Hernández ,
Josh Dawsey and
Damian Paletta January 16



A top Department of Housing and Urban Development official is leaving the agency Thursday following disagreements with other members of the Trump administration over housing policy and the White House’s attempt to block disaster-recovery money for Puerto Rico, according to five people with direct knowledge of the situation.

Deputy Secretary Pam Patenaude, second-in-command at the agency helmed by Ben Carson and widely regarded as HUD’s most capable political leader, is said to have grown frustrated by what a former HUD employee described as a “Sisyphean undertaking.”

Patenaude cited personal reasons when she submitted her resignation on Dec. 17.

Yeah I think the Patenaude news is a bit old G1. Hearing rumors she quit because Trump was holding up the Puerto Rico relief money because they are ungrateful assholes, and he was trying to divert it to Florida/Houston instead. Sounds about right.
