Even worse - Trump brought in fresh hires with Bush/Obama experience who had moved on to the private sector.

Trump was Deep State's number one employer. He was LITERALLY bringing in people who immediately started plotting to make sure he wouldn't serve two terms.

Name one. If it is a Senate appointed position I have news for you. The Senate needs to agree to that nomination. Go and cry at the GOP for being cucks instead.

What a fucking stupid excuse. Wray is a good example. Ivy League, worked for Bush and Chris Christie.

Don't tell me that only Deep Staters had a chance of Senate confirmation - until you can show me that Trump appointed MAGA guys first and they got rejected by the Senate.

Besides, Trump often allowed Obama guys to sit in their office for four years and didn't even TRY to replace them - and many of those required no Senate confirmation.

Give it up - there is no excuse.

Yes. The only ones that were ever allowed to come up for consideration were Deep Staters. McConnel wouldn't bring one up for confirmation otherwise. Look at Chad Wolf, acting director for the entire time. Never confirmed, because Trump refused to put a Deep Stater in there again after the first one.

Which is why I wonder how you can't even seem to recall how even Republicans instantly went all Russia, Russia, Russia on Trump for firing Comey. He TRIED to get rid of Obama insurgents and was directly told, if you do so we will charge you with obstruction.

There is always an excuse. I say Trump should have just said fuck it and dragged his balls across the GOP, but hey that's the first term sickness. Obama wasn't half as bad as he was in his second term, because it didn't matter anymore at that point.

Rex Tillerson. Jim Mattis. He got the law changed so Mattis could be SECDEF. Those are two names and public ones. There were hundreds of swamp creatures nominated by Trump that were not senate confirmed.

You know what Biden would do if the senate wasn't playing ball? Recess appointments. How many recess appointments did Trump do?

They never had a recess. They always left the sessions open so he couldn’t do recess appointments.

Did you even pay attention at all the last four years?

They held phony sessions of Congress that Trump could have called BS on.

Yup trump hired John Bolton which was a huge fucking mistake. Picked up where obama left off with drone strikes. The first two years of trumps presidency were hella rocky in the decisions he made.

We were all riding Mattis dick till it turned out he was way more interested in that defense contractor money than not getting innocent men killed.

Rex Tillerson had deep GOP connections and I think there was some agreement between him and Trump but that all fell through when it turned out he thought he was running the show.

I never said Trump didn't make mistakes. I said you were complaining about a man not winning a round 1 KO with both hands tied behind his back.

And I said you are presenting a false dichotomy.
