The Commerce Department has fallen into disarray under Secretary Wilbur Ross, as he spends his time trying to curry the President’s favor and lacks the “stamina” to stay awake through meetings.
Like I’ve said before: mandatory retirement age. We don’t people who are 1000 years old governing
ignorant of the day-to-day goings on and prone to falling asleep during the few meetings with senior staff
To be fair, laundering Russian money was a lot less exhausting than dismantling the entire Commerce Department. Maybe it’s time he follow the Boss’ lead and start snorting mega-doses of Adderall.
Always disappointing when I read the obituaries in the morning and that old fossils name isn’t there
Unfortunately, the people leaving in disgust are the ones holding the place together. The political appointees, who have the best job a nazi can hope for, aren’t going to fold until they are dragged out, roots and all.
It will take a generation to repair the damage of this administration.
He’s not struggling to stay awake in the meetings… It’s just that the animatronics are so old that the lead weight counterbalance that’s supposed to keep the eyelids open regularly malfunctions.
I admire you’re optimism.
Meanwhile, officials say that the department is roiled by infighting between career officials and political appointees, leading to sudden departures and turnover.
Isn’t that every department in this administration?
But trump likes chaos I thought.
Then we’ll have nothing but young, vigorous swamp monsters. I’d suggest making it mandatory that people you hire don’t suck.
Ross is one of the oldest hosts in the administration. His programming has been rewritten too many times.
If the commerce department is falling apart, Ross just needs to buy more of late Senator Stevens’ tubes. You know, the ones the internet uses.
There’s a concept
People with actual degrees in the skills needed for the job
Not lobbyists for the industry being regulated
Hey, I’m a dreamer.
Not. The. POINT
Hey, look at the bright side. Every minute he’s sleeping in meetings is another minute that went by without destroying the department, and another minute closer to the end of the administration…
Calling this crew an “administration” is rather generous. I think they’re more like a very poorly run family enterprise.
Ross is one of the oldest hosts parasites in the administration. His programming has been rewritten too many times.
Fixed.
I understood your point. I disagree with mandatory retirement ages though. Deal with it.
I’m just using the technical term… minor-league wanna-be mobsters would be a more accurate term.
