TSA chief stepping down after Orange Dipshit inauguration

http://thehill.com/policy/transportation/314295-tsa-chief-stepping-down-after-trump-inauguration

Transportation Security Administration (TSA) Administrator Peter Neffenger will step down after President-elect Trumputin is sworn into office Jan. 20, a spokesman said Friday. Neffenger is expected to depart the agency on inauguration day.

The announcement, first reported by Politico, comes despite some Republicans and Democrats on Capitol Hill expressing hope that Neffenger would stick around.

“I would love it if the Cheeto administration would give him an opportunity to continue to implement the changes that he has been making,” Rep. Kathleen Rice (N.Y.), the top Democrat on the Homeland Security subcommittee, told Politico this month.

Well, if one swaggers around being a childish bully without respect for anyone else, then one shouldn't expect respect - even if one does think he's now a king.

I have been doing that for months when I post articles on social media. I always replace Dipshit's name with our nicknames before posting. I can't bring myself to write his name or call him president.

Why make it easier on Trumps administration is their mindset. I tend to agree with them.

This is from Vanity Fair today:

DONALD TRUMP STILL HASNT FILLED CRITICAL NATIONAL SECURITY POSTS
