So Much Winning!
So, to recount:
After the first six months, we have no Press Secretary,
No FBI Director,
No Secretary of the Army,
No Secretary of the Navy,
No Surgeon General,
No Secretary of the Air Force until May 8th,
135 judicial vacancies, with only 24 pending,
Virtually no one in senior positions under Rex Tillerson at Foggy Bottom including his top deputy,
A legally crippled Attorney General Trump's ready to fire,
No health care bill,
No infrastructure bill,
No national budget save for a draft with a two trillion dollar error that the Trump administration still stands by,
39 vacancies at the DOJ ranging from trial attorneys to US attorneys,
and hundreds of other important federal posts still vacant after half a year.
But, hey, Donald Trump is bound and determined to become the most well-rested "President" in memory (40 days at his properties alone, which doesn't include Camp David or any other place where he's sat on his fat, pasty ass), going for broke during a planned 18 day vacation next month while cracking the whip on Congress while racing toward his 1000th presidential tweet.
Maybe if they had as many meetings with each other as they do with the Russians, maybe shit would get done.
Then again, maybe we're better off.

God bless America.
It's gonna need all the help it can get.
I'm standing by my assessment that Trump is only appointing people that he knows will destroy the efficacy of the departments in which they reside. For example, do you really think Betsy DeVos is out to do anything but bring down the Department of Education? The openings which exist unfilled are intentionally left that way to cripple the departments in which they exist (for example, guess why the various US Attorney positions aren't filled). Trump's whole Presidency seems geared to do nothing more than cause the US Government to collapse and fail, which seems to be very much in line with his campaign, so color me unsurprised.
