'Sloppy vetting' blamed for 'record-setting' White House personnel issues

Source: msn/Alternet

11h


"Record-setting" personnel issues are marring President Donald Trump's second term as the president doubles former President Joe Biden's "mark for nominees withdrawn from the Senate in the first year," Politico reports.

Despite Trump's personnel operation being a "smoothly running machine," they report, "there are clear signs of breakdowns behind the scenes." Trump has withdrawn a record number of nominees for a president’s first year in office as he faces a combination of GOP pushback against some picks, vetting issues, White House infighting and, in some cases, the president’s own mercurial views," they note.

According to Senate data, Trump has thus far withdrawn 57 nominations—nearly double the 22 nominations he pulled during his first term and the 29 Biden withdrew during his. This "pace of withdrawals," Politico notes, "is the highest since at least the Ronald Reagan presidency."

Republicans have "acknowledged the obvious," they report: " in some instances, the White House just isn’t making sure Trump’s nominees can get the votes."

All that's required is that you're a compromised criminal or a lying Fux Nooze host that will do what D Dump says no matter what.

. . . if someone checked their credentials. checked references (especially from previous jobs); required a CV with writings and professional organizations - - - you know, the usual stuff -- instead of just checking them for long legs and high-pointed tits . . .

. . . and tattoos.
