Speaking of fucking **SNOWFLAKES** … Reports say Trump’s labor nominee has withdrawn, whining about ‘abuse’. First Andy Puzder, Donald Trump’s labor secretary nominee, was facing opposition from Republicans. Then came the whining from sources close to the snowflake about all the abuse he was taking. After that, it didn’t take long for Puzder to reportedly follow through and withdraw from consideration: BREAKING: Puzder withdraws — David S. Joachim (@davidjoachim) February 15, 2017 Multiple sources are now reporting this. Good fucking riddance! STFU and GTFO! Pussy! ---

And we have another snowflake… Tried to spin a tale of dark lefty violence and aggression **and the COPS called bullshit on him** … Rep. Tom McClintock (CA-04) recently held a town hall that drew a full-to-capacity crowd, with 200 more constituents outside the theater’s door. Rep. McClintock defended the Republican-led agenda and the overflow crowd was not happy. Rep. McClintock fled the theater to chants of “Shame on you!” Police helped him to a waiting SUV that rapidly sped away from the crowd. Rep. McClintock has repeatedly told anyone who’ll listen that there “was a threat of violence and police had to intervene in the end.” With zero arrests that day, Roseville Chief of Police Daniel Hahn is batting down any notion the protesters were violent or threatening: Was the gathering loud? “Yes,” Hahn said. Was it the biggest protest Hahn has seen in nearly six years as the Roseville chief? “Yes,” Hahn said. “But things went very well that day. They went as well as could be expected. … The people gathered weren’t causing problems.” Because of the size of the overflow crowd outside the theater, Chief Hahn said they made the decision to escort McClintock to get to the waiting vehicle, but they did not shut down the event: The chief added that it was his call, in consultation with his staff, for officers to escort McClintock out of the theater and to his car. “We took some precautionary measures for the safety of everyone involved,” he said. But here’s an important point: McClintock’s meeting was not “disrupted.” “The plan was for the meeting to end at 11, and it did,” Hahn said. “We did not have discussions with McClintock’s staff to have a second session. It was our decision to escort him out, but it was not our decision to bring the event to a close.” There is a video of the “threatening” constituents singing Woody Guthrie’s “This Land is Your Land” and chanting “Send him out!” **The Pubbie snowflake got all triggered and shit, and then lied about it.** ---

They don’t understand why major media outlets don’t see the same successful administration they have been cheering on. And they’re increasingly frustrated that Democrats – and some Republicans – are too slow to approve some of the president’s nominees and too quick to protest his every utterance… ---

The stupid part is that their own media repeats this without ever pointing out that previous presidents have not had their cabinet in place by this time either. ---

> [@Chimera](#): > > The stupid part is that their own media repeats this without ever pointing out that previous presidents have not had their cabinet in place by this time either. I have to admit wondering about this, myself. How long does it _typically_ take a new administration to build its cabinet? To get to, say, 50% of all its potential appointments? ---

> [@Bryan\_Ekers](#): > > I have to admit wondering about this, myself. How long does it _typically_ take a new administration to build its cabinet? To get to, say, 50% of all its potential appointments? Well, its slower than normal. But many of his nominees also have no history of public service as a senior executive so they are doing all the background stuff from scratch. Its one thing to nominate someone with a fully vetted background where all you can do is bitch and moan that you don’t like the guy. Its another thing when the nominee has never held a job or applied for security clearance. Obama had his cabinet filled by April 18th (Kathleen Sebelius, if you recall his first nominee got scuttled because he accepted three years of free limo rides without paying about $128K taxes on them). Its still early to say that this is unprecedented obstruction particularly when you consider how unvetted his nominees are and how complicated their financial backgrounds are. ---

Part of the problem is that not all of Trump’s picks have even completed the background checks. Some positions haven’t even had someone nominated yet. ---

In fairness, under parliamentary systems the Prime Minister assembles his or her cabinet from the relatively small pool of active legislators from (typically but not always) the PM’s party, making the selection process a lot simpler. The separation between executive and legislative functions is far less stark. ---

I just cant figure out why they are not pissed at the Democrats for putting up a lousy candidate and running a bad campaign. Heck they didnt even listen to Bill or Obama for advice. Not to mention they drained democratic coffers to the tune of $1.5 billion and still lost. Look, I wasnt happy the Chiefs lost in the playoffs to the Steelers but I dont blame the Steelers. I blame the Chiefs for not scoring more points. But, it is easier to just blame the guy who won.
