So many people willing to throw away their careers for trump.
TBF, in the case of Whittaker, he was massively underqualified for the AG position, anyway. One could argue that it was a caculated risk on his part. Under what other circumstances would he have ever been elevated to such a position?Byker28i said:

TBF everyone needs some downtime "if" he paid for it himself then fair enough.
Big IF though.....
Fair point....however, imagine if this was your office. and somebody who seems to spend the majority of their time on doing sod all (sorry, "Executive Time") then has a £50k computer game installed in their office. Surely you'd think it was p1staking of the highest order, even if they'd paid for it themselves....Big IF though.....

Trump's Dept. of Homeland Security has gutted task forces protecting elections from foreign meddling
"It's very curious why the leadership has not committed resources to prepare for the 2020 election," one DHS official says.
Two teams of federal officials assembled to fight foreign election interference are being dramatically downsized, according to three current and former Department of Homeland Security officials. And now, those sources say they fear the department won’t prepare adequately for election threats in 2020.
“The clear assessment from the intelligence community is that 2020 is going to be the perfect storm,” said a DHS official familiar with the teams. “We know Russia is going to be engaged. Other state actors have seen the success of Russia and realize the value of disinformation operations. So it’s very curious why the task forces were demoted in the bureaucracy and the leadership has not committed resources to prepare for the 2020 election.”

Bezos has said he won't be building Amazon HQ in New York after all. There's been people fighting against it because of the subsidies offered, claims that housing prices would be pushed up. It's missing the jobs and salaries/taxes that would have been generated. Pro's and cons?
"After much thought and deliberation, we’ve decided not to move forward with our plans to build a headquarters for Amazon in Long Island City, Queens" - Amazon spokeswoman Jodi Seth

Average tax refunds are down 8.7% to $1949 in first two weeks of filing season.
The Treasury says this is "positive news" for taxpayers because it means they are seeing the benefits in larger paychecks and withholding correctly.
There aren't many people agreeing with this,
sorry many many people are saying that this is the worse tax cut ever, they haven't seen rises in their paychecks...

Trump admin officials are supposed to avoid lobbying for 5 years after leaving office, but at least 33 former officials who are already back at it, including Ryan Zinke. Almost all work on issues they oversaw or helped shape while they were in govt.
