But the cuts are not cuts. Based on the last paragraph of the article, these are transfers, not cuts.
“”Trump’s order will be carried out mainly by attrition as staffers rotate back to their original positions at the State Department and other federal agencies, and not by layoffs or firings.””
No No No - this is where the problem is. Not getting rid of the deadwood...Send them back to where they can do more damage? That doesn’t even make sense. Get rid of them and clean them all out of the State Department and start over.
takes a 2/3 super majority to remove a president. Sorry, not nearly enough RINO’s to reach that bar by a looooong shot.

I wouldn’t be so confident. More spies and lies keep popping up and the media is just waiting for something they can twist into a “crime”. (Keep an eye on Trump’s taxes.) And then watch the Pubbies scatter for cover.
I think your trust in the GOP is misplaced.
The GOP needs to seriously calculate the cost of “civil unrest” if they railroad the rightful president and join the Globalist coup. It won’t be pretty and it won’t occur at the ballot box. Ballot boxes will be obsolete. The GOP needs to understand that.
I have no confidence in the GOP, but I have confidence in numbers and I just know even if every waivering RINO voted with the dems, they still wouldn’t even be close to the 2/3 barrier, which is why a president has never actually been removed.
I totally agree but I’m not sure that the GOP ever seriously calculates anything. They are the driftwood party just floating along with the tide (or maybe flotsam party would be more accurate).
The level of anger in the conservative community is rising daily but the GOP just seems to ignore it. Maria Bartiromo touched on this in an interview with Linsey Graham when she told him that her viewers were getting “frustrated” with the lack of action by the GOP. Of course Graham just deflected the question with his normal BS.
An enormous amount of frustration is building over what has been done to Trump for at least the past three years. Every day its a new assault on him — and by extension the people who voted for him. We see it and know what it could lead to but the GOP is oblivious to it.

Two thirds is a big barrier, granted. But bear in mind that there has never been a president like Trump. They all view him as an outsider. He dared to expose them and for that he must be tared and feathered and driven from the town.
