Aww, you poow baby, it wiww be ok, it wiww be ok… Why would you be terrified of having the people who oversaw the steepest decline of American influence since Jimmy Carter resign? Sure, you can blame Ogunga all you want, but the complete and utter incompetence of State Department is obvious. It is high time to clean the house and drain the swamp… ---

Reynolds, acting director of the National Park Service, to express anger over the fact the National Park Service’s official Twitter account retweeted a message that negatively compared the crowd sizes at the two inaugurations. Apparently the Deputy press Secretary has the patter down already: > [@](#): > > Sanders said the call proves Trump “is so engaged, he is so involved and when he sees a problem, he takes action to fix it.” > > “If he sees an issue, he is going to take action and do something to fix it,” Sanders said. It just boggles my mind…this should have been worth a few snarky comments for a day or so on Facebook/Twitter and then filed in the back archives, but he keeps coming back to it again and again. I have resisted the easy way people (with no experience in the matter) have diagnosed him as having a disorder, but this…well, obsession is the only word I can use to describe it…is making me wonder. ---
