“The depths of his dishonesty is astonishing to me…he is the most flawed person I have ever met in my life.”
John Kelley
Secretary of Homeland Security
White House Chief of Staff

“He is more dangerous than anyone could ever imagine.”
James Mattis
Secretary of Defense.

And he brings with him his extended family of similarly flawed and corrupt men and women. And this time he will surround himself with spineless sycophants who will do whatever he wants with no push back.

He also has plans to destroy the merit based civil service and turn it into a corrupt partisan system, something we got away from 141 years ago.

All this will move our nation much closer to something like the deeply corrupt and incompetent kleptocracy/oligarchy that is Putin's Russia. And you know that is exactly what Trump would like.

The Pendleton Act of 1883 replaced the political patronage system that had existed until that time with a merit-based system for filling most civil service positions. The drafters of the Civil Service Reform Act of 1978 believed that this merit-based system had broken down over the ensuing century.
