C'mon! He alone matters? Dont need anyone. Only needs low level coffee boy or video carrying boy . Stable genius? Non!

He thinks it’s like his Apprentice show. The more candidates leave the closer he gets to the season finally, we’re we all lose.

One way of destroying government is by not hiring .... the myth of small government ....

It should be assumed that this TrumpRegime phenomenon is the basic modus operandi of realDonaldTrump, an Independent to the core, who leads in government as he does in business: cut throat foundation of PlausibleDeniability. He has '... reduced the generals to rubble...' Next?

Uh huh. The senators are so concerned they continue to use every possible procedural delay to keep from allowing the president to have his appointments confirmed.

The less people in administration the better. You have it wrong. That is a plus not a problem.

trump is a lazy, incurious, sociopath of 300 lbs fat imbued with non stop lies and narcissistic personality disorder egoism, narcissism, psychopathy, spitefulness, placing own goals & interests over to extent of taking pleasure in hurting other's

Bullshit FakeNews

Trump’s SOTU

Are these fuckers on time delay? Is it a conservative thing? Max Boot thinks GOP is *becoming* authoritarian, other ex-GOPers think GOP is *becoming* racist, and now 2 years in GOP thinks vacancies are *becoming* serious?

TulsaTeresa Well it’s about damn time

BarneysNose How damaged would one have to be to work for the man?

scomodog America has no president

He seems to be getting a great job done without all the swamp dwellers

This will be easier with fewer employees:

Senators grow concerned, but Mitch will, Again, sit this one out. Mitch is the ultimate toady

“Harder than anyone in American history”

Lot easier to be corrupt with no oversight or eyes ! 👀

I like 'acting' cuz then I do not have to listen to the people

Hey Senators short on the uptake are you? Yeah that Russian money will get ya every time. Your time is short lived no worries

I’m really tired of concerned Senators when will they start working for the people who elected them?

Well he has Mick Mulvaney and Jarod Kushner.. they’ve been up&down&over&out- puppets&pirates&paupers&poets &pawns and kings they do it all!!!

Good. Some reason feel better trump/McConnell r not filling spots w more corrupt sychophantic extreme republican religionists They prob can’t find many willing 2 tow the line of this admin-ability 2 shamelessly lie, corrupt past a must- apply within

SenJoniErnst: 'But I do feel that in order to reassure allies and also to push back on our adversaries, it’s very important that we have a permanent secretary of defense.” Senator, this Sec Def vacancy is on purpose & by design--Putin's design. Don't you get it yet?!?!

Well gee,wonder what took so long ?

Dem Senators delayed votes on all Rep Pres Trump appointments

He alone told you what he was.

Not nominating means not needing Senate approval and yet another means to subvert constitutional law and norms by PoTUS by using temps. Wish GOP would wake up to the fact his Admin is doing all it can with authoritarian power centered in Presidency. Sen. GOP is under his bus.

Oh heavens, don’t be alarmed. We’ve been on this path for over two years and they haven’t done anything. The GOP held the majority for the first two years. They wouldn’t have encountered any resistance getting enough Democrats to sign on to fire him. So, let’s go.

Not unusual in setting up a dictatorship. Check the Hitler history. Default, no position filled. Powered reverts to dictatorship. Smell the stench America.

After 40 years of using a broken VA for all my husbands care under VA, VSOs, & Congressional “rule” we finally see good improvements. If it’s due to Mar-A-Lago Trio. Who cares? IT’S ABOUT THE VETERANS Not politics

So why don’t the idiots stand up? What are u waiting for?

He doesn’t care if he implodes the U.S. or he might work a little harder.

Makes declaring Martial Law easier. Plus he can control Agencies directly with expendable toadies. Was that rhetorical? Have you not studied Political Science?

MOVING TRUCK AND RESIGNATION IS ALL THAT'S LEFT FOR TRUMP ......

Who can work if you can't even take your family out to dinner without being attacted?

Oh, they’re “concerned”?

But he’s so smart he can run everything himself! Just like the Trump Organization. He and his kids. This is what you’re enabling GOP.

If one considers the Big Picture we live in - where it's incredibly LIKELY that the POTUS is a Russian asset - and with the caveat that, yes, Trump has been lax at filling vacancies that aren't judgeships (the question is WHY?) - then the 2nd part of your headline is insane.

This is a dereliction of duty and he should be sanctioned and then impeached by the congress if he does not remediate. It is part of his web of actions to weaken the united states.

You’re going to have to tell a lot of lies the next couple days Washington post to pay for that comedy during the Super Bowl

If it keeps up, he'll be dictating what he thinks should be done. Do the Republicans care? Kinda wonder, don't you? Hopefully they will wake up and stop following this early childhood person who claims he hasn't changed since he was a boy in grade school.

Can run his administration as he ran his campaign. Hillary, had 835 Member staff & a billion dollars , he had a limited staff & whipped butt. Surrounded by brainy ppl; S Miller, H Gidley, Kellyanne, Jared, Ivanka, S Sanders, Boulton & Pompeo. Many time times less is more.

Authoritarianism vs Democracy continues.......

Really? Who is on record as being concerned?

Senators grow concerned? Over vacancies? What about every other appallingly cruel and hurtful thing he’s done to our democracy, to immigrants, to women, to our elections and to our global leadership for the past three years Spare me. This is beyond ridiculous!!!

Trump: 'Willful negligence' and 'willful Ignorence'

Not his fault. There aren’t enough unqualified candidates.

Who would want to work in the Trump Administration!

BS. Red Polys RACING To Fill Every Open Judicial Seat ... -Gov- Vacancies, Just Means Fewer To Answer To

Trump 1 best president of all times! realDonaldTrump. Yes! 👍

This is how to reduces the size of government.

5 hours of free time a day? None working retiree needs to go! Nothing good came from this experimental joke of a presidency! He had a lot of nerve ragging in Obama all those years! He's the worst of the Worst!

Why U ask? Well bc the nation has been blessed that the Nation hasn't been faced w/any enormous Catastrophes, Emergencies or World affairs But God forbid it happens ... Commander Chaos n his merry band of misfits could be a price we can't afford to pay!!! (Ask Puerto Rico)

Why should the GOP be concerned? They wanted this Monster and they got him, they own it.

But The Pres knows everything about everything. Why waste time filling vacancies? Besides, it takes too long to find people, ya know? Geesh... (Cynical? Yes.)

Republicans have largely blamed Senate Democrats. “But according to an analysis by the Partnership for Public Service & The Washington Post, the White House has not bothered to nominate people for 150 out of 705 key Senate-confirmed positions.”

😏🙀

the deep state and its partnership with the Media, no outrage over the joint effort to derail a President and Yet he still produces results

He doesn’t like a democratic government. So there’s that.

Ever-merging are the reasons that the powers of POTUs MUST be reconsidered. We've had multiple presidencies that have been heavy burdens for current & future generations of Americans. The US needs a Constitutional Convention & trim the bloated pork.

vacancies are up in drumpf hotels too.

Trump is firing useless career beaurocrats like he promised.

an effective leader motivationally leads vs. a subpar boss who only bosses!!

Oh the senators are “concerned.” Gee. I’m concerned about the conman in the White House. It’s the fault of every senator that wants this person as to stay as president. So I wish the “concerned” senators would shut the hell up and go back into hiding with Mitch.

This is certainly fake news. realDonaldTrump said that everyone wants a piece of the Oval Office. Surely, people must be lined up on Pennsylvania Avenue waiting and hoping for their turn...no? Isn't that the caravan he is witnessing?

Lean government

We need vacancies in the Senate too...emptiness is better than piss poor leadership

if we only had a president who knew what the heck he's supposed to dp

Who wants to work for this idiot

Trump runs leaner! 🇺🇸👍

Ok... Seriously... America, do something. It's way past ridiculous now. He just lower to the bottom the standards to be president for the next 20 years...

There should have been concern a few years ago.

You can’t blame people for leaving Trumps administration,the man is mentally unfit for office and a danger to national security.

I'm not feeling empathetic to Trump.

Maybe the President shouldn't work four hours a day

Don’t worry, I’m sure we can limp along for two more years. After all, it’s worked out for us just fine since 2016.

Saving taxpayer dollars. Look at the waste in Obummer administration.

Senators grow concerned? Right.

'Concerned' is Republican speak for 'ain't gonna do sheeeit about it'

What was their first clue🤔🤔🤔

Trump actually likes to have less people in his administration because it allows more unfettered corruption by him and his family

Thanks Mitch.
