Thirty-seven (Scott Pruit 38)  administration officials who've resigned or been fired under Trump

There hasn't been a recent administration that’s seen so much turnover particularly among members of the senior White House staff. (Nor, it’s safe to say, have there been so many appointees who were fired after past racist comments were made public.

The second two do not support your contention that the reason Trump is spending less is because his staff and cabinet members have been fired or quit. 

And what past racist comments are you talking about?

Not sure why the Washington Post site is asking you for a subscription. I don't have a subscription and am able to read the entire article.  However, I did not read the comments which follow the article.

Of course they don't support what I said about saving money because it wasn't a contention and should not have been taken seriously. Though there are a lot of vacancies.

"The Trump administration has received Senate approval for just 292 of 652 posts identified as key to the functioning of government by the Partnership for Public Service. The administration has offered no nominations for an additional 217 key Senate-confirmed posts, including director of the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives and the ambassador to South Korea.

A number of Trump appointees have been embroiled in controversy and resigned their posts over questions about their qualifications, backgrounds and comments."

Can you show me where I said anything about racist comments? I cannot find it. It seems to me Trump makes a lot of inappropriate comments, some of which he's done a 180 on. I am not going to look them up for you because you can easily find them yourself.

How is anyone supposed to know you were not being serious when you said the reason Trump's expenses are lower is because his staff and cabinet have been fired or quit?  That's not apparent at all from your comments.

You do realize that part of the reason why Trump has so many vacancies is Democrats have slowed down the confirmation process?   

You said something about racist comments right here:

Here's what I suspect you are missing, there's a difference between what I opine and posting excerpts from various articles and news stories for which I most often provide a link or cite. I copied and pasted it from the Washington Post article. Since for whatever reason, you can't access it, I guess you couldn't.
know this.

Democrats are part of the reason for the slow down. But, why are democrats slowing it down? Could it be because (from what I've read and heard) Trump's recommendations aren't qualified and can't get security clearances?

"Trump faults Democrats as top jobs remain unfilled, but he bears blame (and Senate Republicans too)

Yet nonpartisan specialists who track the process give Trump most of the blame, both because he has been slow to submit nominations and because of the high turnover in senior administration positions, which creates new vacancies faster than the president is filling them

According to the nonprofit Partnership for Public Service, Trump has yet to nominate anyone for about one-third of the 640 jobs that the group has identified as "key positions" in the executive branch, not counting judicial and military posts.

Also, as Democrats argue, an uncommon number of Trump nominees pose questions of competence, conflicts of interest or both."

There are so many opinions and snide comments and so few folks here sticking to the facts. If I can find dozens of articles from non-partisan or liberal media to back up my opinions, why can't those of you with a conservative point of view find articles which support your viewpoint? Come on, there must be some counter resources, like Fox News.

President Trump reportedly wants a ‘more American’-looking Air Force One
Fox News ^ | 7/13/18 | Janine Puhak
Posted on 7/13/2018, 9:21:13 PM by Libloather

President Trump is reportedly hoping to make the high skies great again with a new and improved patriotic paint job for Air Force One that “looks more American,” in addition to requesting bigger, more comfortable beds on board.

**SNIP**

The president reportedly wants the jets to be outfitted in a color scheme that "looks more American" and replace the iconic robin’s egg blue declared a "Jackie Kennedy color.” Technically termed "luminous ultramarine", the plane’s current design was selected by President John F. Kennedy and First Lady Jackie Kennedy in the 1960s, Axios reports.

Trump’s preferred color scheme would incorporate red, white and blue. In addition, the commander in chief is said to want bigger, more comfortable beds, like those of his personal Boeing 757, in favor of what Axios describes as the current “couch-like sleeping configuration” aboard Air Force One.

Why did you leave out these quotes?

And Democrats in the Senate have thrown a fair amount of sand in the gears to lengthen an already grueling confirmation process.

Senate Democrats do bear some responsibility, even some of them would acknowledge.
They approach the confirmation process still bitter over Senate Republicans' move during the 2016 campaign, denying Obama's Supreme Court nominee, Merrick Garland, even a hearing for nearly 10 months — successfully gambling that a Republican would be elected president to put a conservative on the court.

Of the 424 key nominations he has sent to the Senate, nearly a third await confirmation.

Another factor working against Trump: The Senate is taking longer to deal with his nominations. As of March 23, Trump nominees on average took 84 days to win confirmation, while Obama nominees on average got through in 65 days.

And that was only a couple of paragraphs. Just like a liberal to cherry pick quotes to support his anti American views.

If you are quoting from some article you might to make that a little more clear.  We had one poster on here who was a chronic plagiarizer.  I forget who it was?   Not accusing you of plagiarizing. 

Regarding your question:  absolutely not.  The slow down is pure partisan politics.

Anyone who is interested is welcome to read the whole article. Are you suggesting conservatives don't 'cherry pick'. Whose anti-American views? NOAH BIERMAN and CHRISTI PARSONS who wrote the article? You should read the entire article before you decide if their views are anti-American.

Based on breaking news today, things could get even more interesting than they are already.

I'll try to make quotes clearer future. Sometimes, I include the author's name and the date of the article and may further identify it as not being my words by italicizing and or indenting it. From what little I know about these things, I believe that covers all the basis so as to not be engaging in plagiarism.

Are you sure it's absolute? Some of Trump's nominees have had a change of heart and withdrawn from consideration which isn't helping to get positions filled. -No idea why they withdrew.

[mazrim]

Still waiting on the racist quotes, Prime....Conveniently skipped over that after smugly asking Dos Equis where you posted that.

We're not talking about conservatives or demoncrats, we're talking about YOU. You chose the quotes to post that supported your anti American views instead of posting the entire article which was actually well written and pointed out fallacies and facts from both sides.

I love how Prime always tries to derail the "Trump = Winning" thread. LOL!

DEFLECTION is a common "tactic" among losers/libs.
It is a last-ditch "effort" heavily rooted in desperation.

You would cry too, if it happened toooooo... you!!!

-Already admitted to "cherry picking" the parts of the article I chose to post. Guess what? Everyone can and does choose what they want to post. The entire article is fairly neutral and well written, just as you mentioned. Many, if not most here will not read a wall of text. Those who want to know more about an article can follow the link, when one is provided.

Hey, why don't you show me where you or other conservative Getbiggers post up neutral responses or articles. What I mostly see here is a lot of superfluous name calling, almost entirely from people who share your political position. Is this a game where politically right-wingers get to make all the rules? Go ahead. I for one, will not follow them.

I wrote a long ass reply but deleted it since it contained far too much common sense for a liberal to handle. You won't follow right wingers? Good for you, while you hide behind the safety of your gated community, other people in your city and state are waking up and seeing the benefits of "walking away"

Thanks for your opinion, I guess. "Losers/libs" aren't the only folks guilty of this tactic. Those of you on the right are masters of this scheme.

No need for last ditch efforts. Whatever happens is going to happen, regardless of what you or I post here. My guess is, if things don't go your way, you'll call it a conspiracy or a "witch hunt" just as your shepherd does.

Isn't "witch hunt" what you libtards called it when they were supposedly investigating Killarys over 30,000 deleted emails, destroyed phones, bleached laptops, etc?
