Signed,

Mick Mulvaney

It does sound like something he'd say. LOL.

I fully agree. I think the deadwood percentage is closer to 85%. I have worked with these worthless scumbags.

whose career would be jeopardized by its disclosure

Why? Is President Trump opposed to "smoking out the Resistance"?

I was going to post the exact same comment. Mulvaney loves him some shutdown.

No, it’s just more dramatic and more powerful if you don’t know exactly who’s writing it.

Assume it’s Mulvaney, which I have no idea whether it is or not, but just assume it is. Then it’s easy enough to just say, well this is Mulvaney being Mulvaney.

But what if it’s one of the more normal, somewhat sane cabinet officials? Then it could be a bigger deal. So, best to keep it anonymous. There’s a lot of administration officials who are not in fact particularly influential in ANYTHING, so their anonymous opinion is more newsworthy than their signed one.

Sounds like a classic Pareto Distribution.

The president should add to his demands, including a vote on all of his political nominees in the Senate. Send the career appointees back. Many are in the 5 percent of saboteurs and resistance leaders.

Demand it all... keep the government shut down... it's the American people's turn...

“We’re surrounded. That simplifies the problem.” – Quote Attributed to Chesty Puller, USMC

“All right, they’re on our left, they’re on our right, they’re in front of us, they’re behind us…they can’t get away this time” – Lewis B. Chesty Puller, USMC

“They are in front of us, behind us, and we are flanked on both sides by an enemy that outnumbers us 29:1. They can’t get away from us now!”

Time to remember some history and great leaders.

“As one of the senior officials working without a paycheck”

They are getting paid all of it, when the Democrats agree with
the American people and fund the wall.

The wall is a good thing. It will drastically reduce the invasion of illegals to the American people.

It’s the Democrats that are the cause of the Shut down.

The Federal government is a perfect example of The Peter Principle, writ large. Couple that with The Three Laws of Murphy and you have the problem described in a nutshell.

Smoking out the traitors might have been effective before the election, but not now. By 2020, this issue will be forgotten.

And just think, there are 50 states and a gaggle of municipalities, etc. that have similar “staffing.” It’s too bad we can’t shut it all down long enough to kill off 85% of all of them.
