    I don't know about that. The agencies haven't filled that many civil service positions, if I understand correctly. This administration is like a bad case of herpes, but they'll be able to treat it.

    I GET the political appointees being "loyal" to Trump - I don't understand Senators and Representatives - or Governors. My point is that much of our country will be governed by people who will continue to put their own political ambitions ahead of our country's well-being.

    The mayor of Louisville recieved a "no confidence" vote over the handling of the Breonna Taylor shooting. Fine. I think it's probably easy for the councilors to do that, but I think the mayor did what was probably in the best interests of the city, even if he knew it would have political downside for him.
    He could have pushed for charges against the officers - which likely would have been tossed even if there were convictions, and led to more protests and unrest. Instead, he sought a path forward, that acknowledged wrong-doing, reached a financial settlement with the family promised reform and hopefully will promote healing. That's leadership.

    I'm sure this was done after consulting with the president of Puerto Rico.

    Wouldn’t be a bad move to clean up PR so that when you trade it for Greenland you get a draft pick and a payment to the Treasury thrown in.
