Only 29 out of 600 KEY positions filled when Trump takes over.

I am trying to find a link for this, a source.

I heard it from a source that is 100% reliable.

That there are 600 positions his administration must fill of people who will leave their desks on Friday, and he has filled 29 out of the 600.

That this will cause very big problems all over our government and country.

Help me find this please.

(My source is someone who has friends in the WH)

was all over this last night in her opening. She was speaking mostly about dept. of defense and the foreign services as I recall, because of a looming threat of a small war breaking out in Chad.

I heard it from someone who has friends in the WH, that they are really frightened about what is about to happen.

Maybe intense pain and suffering of average Joe and Jane is necessary for them to learn why almost every positive aspect of their lives is reliant on some form of government somewhere.

This is a deliberate weakening of government. There is no reason that he can give for dismissing these people and lessening US's influence in the world.

This and the caliber of nominees for his cabinet both are direct ways to weaken our government agencies, so that he can be the only center of power.

only by greed and revenge.

I truly believe he would purposely harm as many Obama supporters as he could. As many black people as he could. As many Latino's and Muslims as he could.

I mean I think he wants to harm, punish, possibly cause illness and death for anyone who supported that black guy who made fun of him.

I absolutely believe that. In fact I know it.
