The biggest issue, especially in light of what's going on in the Middle East with Qatar, is the 103 positions overall in the State Department with no nominees right now. That's on Trump and his staff, not on Senate Dems for slow playing the nomination process.

Democrats boycotting committee meetings, presumably to deny a quorum.

63 spots currently awaiting confirmation. Most(maybe all, didn't check all of them) tied up in committee.


442 spots with no nominee.

This link is updated almost every day.

I'm not sure why this could not have been included in your first reply, but I will concede that Obama and Bush had submitted fewer ambassadors as of a month ago. (Which impacts the point in my OP not a whit.)

Thanks for the link

Proves my two points.

This is both a problem with Trump not having nominees ready to go and Democrats in the Senate doing everything they can to avoid voting on said nominees in a timely manner.

Each day I become more and more convinced Trump has a bad case of dementia.




Hard to say, he has personally admitted he doesn't really read. Instead he consumes partisan media all day.

So its hard to say whether it's a sign of dementia or just like happens here, he just gets all triggered and emotional from what Fox News or Breit Bart is feeding people and he takes it at face value. Again, like a lot of people around here do. Which, as those outlets often do, they are not framing the issue honestly, just feeding a pro-GOP narrative.

So Trump regurgitates it and it makes him look like he is mentally slipping.

Priebus is not a dick. You need a dick to be a Chief of Staff like John Sununu was to Bush I and like Clinton had along with Don Regan in Reagan's Admin. Some one who controls the message and tells the President what actually IS important. Kathy Griffin.....not important, Schwartzennegger's ratings on the Apprentice.....not important.

Criticizing your own DOJ, doing what you asked them to do...stupid

A dick at as COS would make sure this does not happen....they would also put Bannon and Kushner down in the basement with a Swingline stapler.

It impacts it a bit. And you're making a reference to the speed with which he was moving in the OP pretty plainly. I can understand why you'd want to back away from that now.

I'm disappointed in this aspect though. Trump ran at least partially on the stance that he put good people in key positions and let them do their job. Clearly he hasn't put someone in the position of making sure he doesn't damage himself, and or isn't letting them do their jobs.

The article you link also says that his overall pace of State department appointees (not specifically ambassadors) lags both Obama and Bush. So I'm not sure you want to generalize the OP to "the speed with which he was moving."
