Tweeter-in-Chief still at it - part 2

I can't believe *anybody* thinks this is a good idea. 

Now there's a scary thought.

what's the approval / appointment process like for foreign ambassadors? Since all the Obama administration ones have to be out by Jan. 20th, right?? I think I heard or read that. I would NOT want to be doing any foreign travel for that period of time... are those embassies are just going to be empty during that time, or what??

It probably hasn't entered his tiny little mind that with such short notice to get out of the job many of these people and their families, for one reason or another, won't be able to pack up and go in such a short time. If they stay in the country they are at they will need visa's otherwise they will be there illegally. Most diplomatic staff don't need one as they have immunity but once they are not under the jurisdiction of the embassy they're on their own and no different to any foreign person.It's going to hit families pretty badly because it's more than likely their children are at school.

He's quite happy to disrupt their schooling but not his own son's!

Some of the things he's doing (getting rid of the nuclear people and ambassadors) just seem so amazingly petty - in addition to being dangerous.

These people work with nukes. It's not like there are a ton of unemployed nuclear scientists running around. He's going to replace them with whoever kissed his ring or donated to the campaign. What could possibly go wrong?

Here's something nice and scary to think about:

In about 11 days, there are going to be quite a few unemployed people who know all about our nuclear weapons and capabilities. These people probably feel quite patriotic and love their country - but perhaps there will be some who aren't so motivated by love of country. People who maybe have some bills they'd like to pay, families they need to support. People who may not feel quite so bad about sharing those secrets for the right price. After all, they were doing a good job - but they got fired because the new guy wanted to erase all traces of his predecessor, rather than considering that these people had special skills and knowledge and were kind of important to the security of the nuclear weapons stock.

There is already talk of resignations among the intelligence services. Most of these people love their country very much, so much that they've been willing to work at a job they can't talk about with risks that won't get them more but a nice private funeral and an anonymous star on the wall should they end up making the ultimate sacrifice. It could be worth it, if the leaders of the country would be willing to listen to the information they gather and appreciate their work. But if the leader is going to be throwing shade and disregarding the intel for political reasons? Now, I doubt that these people would turn traitor very easily. BUT...up until now, they have worked for a government that has protected not only them, but their families. These people have been able to work in the field knowing that someone back home was watching out for their loved ones. Now, that is going away. No protection for those loved ones. How long before a suspected former agent gets compromised? I'm sure there are some people out there who would be very, very interested in what they have to say, don't you think?

Some tweets are funny. Some aren't. And some actions have very bad consequences that you simply can't spin by telling us to "listen to what's in his heart, not the words that come out of his mouth." When a nuke goes missing because the people you appointed don't have a clue what they're doing, I'm sure that what he feels in his heart will be very comforting to the people who live in the place that nuke or dirty bomb happens to go off. We can all raise a cup of liberal tears to the city that was once _________ and is now glowing and toast ourselves because at least he didn't have emails.

Would you quit being so damn logical? 

Seriously though, it is totally feasible and so completely terrifying.

That won't be a problem for me, but I can already see the writing on the wall.

Headline: Only four people in the world tuned in and watched the Inauguration.

Donald's Tweet: I had the highest ratings of any inauguration. Blew every other President out of the water with my ratings. Even Lincoln didn't have as many television viewers as I did.

You beat me to it 

I've read this like 10 times and it still doesn't make sense.

Ummm....how did it NOT affect the outcome of the election? With the momentum she had going, then the (unfounded) report of new email scandal, then he wins by a shocking landslide. Yea that's not rocket science.

Omg!!! Cowboy Troy with special guest star Rudy Giuliani! Now I so want to go but alas, all the dress shops in Washington are all sold out and I would have nothing to wear. 😢
