Prayer ping! 🕊🕊
Sounds like Trump plans on staying in the White House for awhile
There would be no reason to appoint people to these positions unless the president was absolutely sure he would be serving a second term.
he may be sure but I’m not, HOWEVER, I hope I am wrong AND he is right, in fact I’ve never hoped I would be more wrong. WIN DJT, WIN!!!
Wait...didn’t most of these domestic non-profits get a schiff-load of COVID money?
Maybe we will actually find out how well these monies are spent?
>>Ezra Cohen, of the District of Columbia, to be a Member and Chairperson of the Public Interest Declassification Board.
Hellooooo
Prayer changes EVERYTHING !
I wondered if it was THE Ezra Cohen because the “Watnick” part was missing.
I was thinking the same. Does an outgoing president normally appoint people to new positions weeks away from the new president being inaugurated?
Most of these seem to be advisory council positions. Does being in such a position render a peron unable to work in another capacity in the administration?
Yeahbut Trump can’t sign this horrible funding thing. Or you mean previous $$?
THE ECW?
He’s doing what Obama did. Loading un-fireable positions with Trump people.
Quite the opposite, sadly. These are all term positions. They'll stay on in these positions no matter who is inaugurated on Jan 20, 2021.
Most of these councils and committees are so Sovietish and swampish basically unaccountable,influence peddlers and backed by big money donors.
This looks like news, yet I don’t see it reported on CNN or Huffpost or MSNBC, lol. So I suppose this isn’t normal for an outgoing President. It’s either an indication that Trump knows something, or he’s just trying to rattle the lefties.
It’s the latter. He’s trying to rattle the lefties. Like it was said earlier...this is the stuff outgoing Presidents do.
Pres. Obama did that just before he left...
That’s the one I noticed too.
