I made a protest sign for the next dozen or so protests I go to, because that fool will never stop tweeting gibberish. My prediction is he'll start using a lot more caps & exclamation points.

he has been too lazy or indifferent to nominate staff or whether people simply don't want the jobs? I have been inclined to think it's the former, but the latter is a slap-in-the-face that he deserves for being the world's worst leader.

There are about 600 positions that need to be filled. They have nominated (these are almost automatically approved) 98 or so. Of course on their first visit to the WH during the transition Jared asked how many of the staffers at the WH needed to be replaced. All of them.

Bannon doesn't seem to think they are necessary

I don't think anyone wants to get near them now from a legal bills standpoint to literally being his chew toy.

Obama waited forever (a year in office, then nothing) for a review for his SC nomination of Merrick Garland.

Hundreds of others have apparently been balancing their own potential legal problems against looming financial disaster. I've read legal protection for just being a "witness" in one of these investigations can be devastatingly expensive.

Couldn't happen to a more appropriate group.

He's lying, again. Congress (the **Republican-controlled** Congress, mind you, and actually it's the Senate that's involved, not Congress as a whole) isn't "taking forever" with his nominations. There's a vetting process for Senate confirmations and he's been slow in nominating people and they've been slow providing the necessary documents.

Some of them they've announced, but haven't bothered to actually send to the nomination to the Senate yet.

Of 559 key positions tracked by the Washington Post and Partnership for Public Service, 442 of them (80%) have no nominee yet.

He doesn't like Muslims unless there's money involved.

But I think he gets this stuff out there so that his russian made echo chamber explodes these news to the base and beyond.
