"Just relax, it won't be Trump"
"Uhhh, would you like to super-size those fries?"
The sludge level in the swamp just dropped a little bit.
The swamp just dropped a foot.
Well who the heck wants to go work for the govt if they can’t enrich themselves from it?
Federal jobs need to have massive pay and benifit cuts. If you arent standing a post with a weapon, your compensation should not exceed those that are walking the walk.
Drain the swamp!
Amazing!!! Go Trump — a man who puts his money where his mouth is ..... a great beginning!!!!!
Good news.
And yet the lying media can only report that the transition is “struggling”.
I wonder if that’s why Ben Carson said no to a cabinet position?
GO TRUMP! I love WINNING!
That should keep the scum to a minimum.
We need a LAW to prevent anyone who has to be confirm by the Senate and all members of the House and Senate to be banned from working as a lobbyist for six years after leaving office. A pledge—as we saw from Jeb Bush, Ted Cruz, et. al.—is not worth the air the pledge displaces.

How will this be enforced?
This isn’t a bad move but it will end up being window dressing. A “lobbyist” is an ill-defined thing, and much of the same work can and is being done under other descriptions - such as “special adviser”.
The knowledge and influence that administration officials accumulate is valuable and it isn’t realistic to think those people won’t leverage those assets.
Frankly, it’s probably best for everyone if they do.
“... will be banned from working as lobbyists for five years,...”
While I was listening to the Chicago-based Dan and Amy Show this morning, they interviewed Steve Moore, possible Treasury Secretary. He mentioned it would be more like of a lifetime ban. Who knows for sure at this point?
Umm, not that I disagree but how does the President claim any power over the employment of someone AFTER they leave government service?
I can see a ban on anyone serving who has been a lobbist in the last 5 years.
Recently...basically most that Chris Christi hired. ;)
