It's not hard if you think about it.

Clinton and Obama are politicians by vocation as much as profession. They may be in a different party than Trump, but they recognize his skill in winning the White House twice, both times against intense media efforts and all kinds of dirty tricks by the Democrats.

They respect his skill.

W, on the other hand, was rich and privileged his whole life, and believed his mom and dad when they essentially told him the Bushes were meant to rule America for its own good.

W's two terms were largely ineffective in actually making things better for Americans or improving our world role. Trump had a generally successful first term, and is in position to do even better in his second term. What's more, Trump effectively ended the GOP's fascination with Bushes. No matter which Bush you look at, Trump has made them as popular as the Edsel, obsolete dull and worthless.

W will always despise Trump for revealing that about the Bush family.

Mark Hamill is sinking further into irrelevancy. If Star Wars suffers it won't be because people care about his political views. Most of us don't. The demise of the franchise is because the perverts & pedos who run Disney keep putting the Star Wars label on woke garbage not worth watching. That's too bad because there was a lot of good stuff before it became fascist & groomer propaganda.

Not to mention, Trump knocked Jeb Bush's dick into the dirt during the 2016 primaries and effectively ended 'ol Jeb's political career.

Not sure what he means that "Comcast should pay a big price for this." I don't know if he means in a ratings hit…or being fined?

Thank God that woman did not become president; as she is a complete idiot.

Worse than Biden if only because he has a valid excuse for his mental decline.

There were reports that after her speech her staff was shouting "MVP! MVP!"

Which one can only presume meant "More Vodka Please".

They are trying to get a head of the Trump Administration....rearrange personnel so they don't get fire

Its not a genuine attempt to end DEI

Just as the military has readiness reports I'm curious if FBI, CIA etc also have something similar. If they do? I'd demand those reports before the end of week 1 and demand updated reports at 6 months.

Based on audits of those reports, I'd start cleaning house of failed leadership.

If you have the legacy managers so busy saving their jobs by getting things right, you eliminate providing them time to sabotage the administration.

The legacy leadership will try to use things like FMLA to protect people but, that should not change the expectations of the areas they manage.

It's really, really hard and really, really expensive to get rid of people who are likely GS12 and above. These aren't private sector employees that you can fire or downsize.

Additionally, people that high up tend to (by tend to I mean almost certainly in 99.9% of cases) have security clearances and replacing them can take eternity and cost a fortune.

The government is a lot like the private sector in that there are a LOT of great employees who do really great work. There's also plenty of room to cut.

Anyone expecting a mass firing on day one is going to be disappointed. Not only is that not how GS jobs work it's also not a desirable outcome. I expect a lot of downsizing but at the GS5/6/7 levels, I also expect an announcement of "mass layoffs" from both sides trying to garner political points.

Chemotherapy in several departments may be necessary to root out the bureaucrats who think they are the true policy makers.
