I guess they thought they could hide this in a Friday afternoon news dump......

It doesn't take much to remind me of a Winston Churchill quotation. This time, it is Churchill's comment on Germany's military incursion into the demilitarized Rhineland, which began on a Saturday in 1936, when most British MPs were away in the countryside: "The British ruling class takes its weekends in the country; Hitler takes his countries in the weekends."

Too bad Mooch wasnt canned on a Friday to try and bury it on Friday news dump.

Kelly is the only sane one in the WH at that day-to-day level imo. Glad he won out and not greased slick-back hair #2.

I posted this elsewhere, but I do have to agree the personnel thing here is a shitshow. Compounded by Dem obstructionism at all levels to fill spots. What an enormous fing clown show by both parties. That is, if you think clown shows involve 'whipping it out to see who has the bigger one politically' for all matters.

Im getting to the point to think that they should nuke the DNC building, nuke the RNC building, and just rebuild everything from scratch.

And as I stated there as well, the choice as it stood for me in November was: 1) death by clown shitshow; 2) death by unrepentant evil witch shitshow (going so far as to either intentionally or recklessly endanger classified information in pursuit of a paranoid way to cover up her communications); or 3) wasting a vote on the NM doobie man.

And we as a people got clown shitshow as a result....

Awesome choice America had this go around.....

Are the Dems doing anything at the moment to delay nominees from being confirmed other than the cloture business I read about recently?

It's easy to try and blame Dems for all the vacancies (unless you're not trying to do that), but the Trump admin has been very slow to either nominate people to confirm-able posts or to appoint them to posts that don't need confirmation.
