les: you said yourself: "there may not be an actual new law"
That is more key than you think.
No it is not. THe key is he has dismantled a system that was limping along, provided no way for it to function in the meantime and left it rudderless, trying to deal. It is not dealing at all well. That is the key. He is excellent this pattern. ef something up with no viable plan to fix it before blowing it up.
It was fun while it lastedYou could argue that Kelly will keep Dump in check, but so far there's little evidence that he has much of any sway over the guy when it comes to major decision-making. .
Wow. That is messed up. I think we need to see it in all it's glory.

Want to take down Trump? Not without a fight. https://www.infowars.com/savage-civil-war-if-trump-taken-down/
Of course, there will be the usual impotent calls for an American Beer Hall Putsch from some dank, fetid corners of the country, but I wouldn't worry too much about it.
I'm impressed he spelled Connecticut correctly.
What was it that I was just saying yesterday?![]()
President Donald Trump’s promise to overhaul the federal government hit another obstacle last week when his pick to head the Office of Personnel Management, George Nesterczuk, quietly withdrew from consideration—leaving the administration with no nominee to run a small but crucial agency that oversees policies for all 2 million employees of the federal government and would be integral to any sweeping effort to reform its workforce.
Nesterczuk was a logical Republican pick to head the agency: a former OPM official with decades of experience in personnel issues. But he had become caught up in a contentious fight when public-sector unions sent a letter in late July protesting his nomination, objecting to his position on civil service reform and raising questions—without any specific allegations or evidence—about his work for the Ukrainian government under pro-Russian Prime Minister Viktor Yanukovych, and potential ties to former Trump campaign chairman Paul Manafort.
The White House, which did not answer a request for comment, withdrew his name last Wednesday afternoon. In a letter to Trump last week, Nesterczuk said he was pulling out over the partisan atmosphere and “baseless” allegations against him. “I do not wish to be a distraction for the administration while I defend my integrity,” he wrote. According to multiple sources who were tracking his nomination, the confirmation process was moving slowly, in part because he hadn’t even submitted his paperwork to the relevant committee, despite being nominated in May.
This leaves the White House with a hole in a key spot for its agenda. “His withdrawal is a huge obstacle [to reform] because they don’t have anybody in the White House with any federal government expertise,” said Elaine Kamarck, a senior fellow at the Brookings Institution who worked on Al Gore’s “Reinventing Government” initiative. “They would need somebody like Nesterczuk to walk them through [civil service policies].”
It wouldn't be the worst thing to scour the three percenters and other domestic terrorists. Kick the national IQ up a several notches.
I give it 6 months, max, before Kelly resigns. No one is going to rein Trump in.
