Nikki Haley: Prez is CEO, can fire whomever he wants ...

Oh Nikki, Nikki, Nikki ... thank you for the "context-free" assertion:




New Rule: ACTING is best when preceded by THINKING ... and, if President, by CONSULTING.

and just where the fuck were you during high school civics? Cheating like a good little Republican? It shows.

He can hire and fife only a few hundred appointees. He can't touch Congress, the Judiciary, or Civil Service at any level.

Business and government are not the same. That's why one is called business, the other is called government.

That's coming from a long-time South Carolina resident. I'm glad she's no longer my governor (although her replacement is just as bad), but it's unfortunate that she now has a position that gives her even more visibility. My only hope is that she is totally destroying any chances of a presidential run by being associated with that lunatic and his corrupt, treasonous administration.

After enough heads roll it will be such a dysfunctional crises it will all be replaced and come to order, eventually. He really can drain the swamp, him included.
