@TimStone and he's been fighting if i recall

like fighting his guilty pleas

get the feeling someone expected someone else to pardon him when he pleaded guilty and how realizing he isn't getting that, is trying to fight it

@Unionhawk and they will be crying for government assistance when they evict all their tenants who can't pay because they lost their jobs

Update: I have been informed that the website listed in the above press release has been purchased and redirects to a petition by a NY housing justice coalition

Presumably the landlords have a website at a different url

> TRUMP: "I learned a lot from Richard Nixon -- don't fire people. I learned a lot. I study history ... of course there was one big difference: Number one he may have been guilty and number two he had tapes all over the place."

@TimStone How many high profile bureaucrats and appointees did Obama fire? And is that number anywhere near as high over 8 years as what Trump has done in less than 4?

Tim Stone

I don't know numbers but Trump has to be a magnitude higher

Okay, close

There are a lot of caveats on the above, see the description

And Trump's already outpaced everyone

This also doesn't include the lower level officials who have been forced out by proxy

MBraedley

But that's just general turnover, not necessarily at the direction of Obama.

Tim Stone

AFAIK that happened at a significantly lower rate in prior administrations because typically no one cares about career bureaucrats?

True

MBraedley

The cabinet turnover (further down) is more insightful IMHO.

Tim Stone

But Trump gets offended at everything and the staffing policy follows suit

I think it's also a hard question to answer generally because a lot of the resignations are firings in disguise, which you'd have to have insight into to know one way or another

Hmm, some kind of multiple (?) shooting at the Veteran's Cemetery down the road
