Jill Chamberlin, a singer in the famed Mormon Tabernacle Choir, has resigned rather than perform at President-elect Donald Trump's inauguration.
She maintained she has deep patriotic feelings, but claimed "tyranny is now on our doorstep."
"I only know I could never 'throw roses to Hitler.' And I certainly could never sing for him."
She is obviously a graduate of "Godwin's Law" School. "There is a tradition in many newsgroups and other Internet discussion forums that once such a comparison is made, the thread is finished and whoever mentioned Hitler has automatically lost whatever debate was in progress."
According to members of the transition team, Trump reached an agreement with President Obama which would have begun an unofficial freeze on new federal hires beginning on December 1st
but,
Several federal agencies are accelerating hiring in the final days of the Obama administration to ensure that as many new employees as possible are in place before President-elect Donald Trump imposes a promised hiring freeze.
Leaders at these agencies are filling open positions with transfers and outside hires, and making internal promotions before Trump takes office Jan. 20, according to internal documents and interviews.
The offer to freeze new hires allegedly came from Andrew Mayock, in the Office of Management and Budget
New regulations and massive “historical monuments” are being shoved through at a shocking rate, creating more and more work for Trump to do when he takes office. Now the White House is going back on their agreement and stuffing the federal worker roles full to the brim just as Trump is supposed to begin thinning the herd.
a number of political appointees have been “burrowing in” recently, switching from those roles to permanent federal positions.
Seventeen political Obama appointments across eight different agencies converted to career positions without receiving the required Office of Personnel Management (OPM) approval.
After President Obama leaves the White House on Jan. 20, 2017, over 4,000 of his political appointees also vacate their government offices as well. Federal employees prepare for new administrations by converting some of the outgoing White House’s political appointees to permanent career civil servants.
All the happy talk of a “smooth transition” is looking like vaporware at this point. Barack Obama seems to be throwing a temper tantrum and doing everything he can to make the transition to the new administration as painful and contentious as possible

somewhere on the list of shit the government shouldn't bother with is this sort of thing.
truly, of all the things the government ought to be doing - a toothless, purely superficial, jesture that accomplishes nothing on its own shouldn't even blip their radar.
want to DO something to unfuck Obama's mess or help Israel or hurt the UN?
then fucking DO something, morons (Congress).

Stories like this piss me off, but why are you lumping all of them in the same pot? Your link said singing at the Inauguration is voluntary, so she's obviously doing this just for attention.
Don't piss me off, I got so much really worthwhile stuff to get pissed of about that this little snowflake does not even register on my give a shit list.

Invoking Hitler = FAIL! Just another moron looking for her 15 minutes.
I am pretty sure that the Mormons teach their students better history than that.

President Barack Obama will head to Capitol Hill Wednesday to meet with congressional Democrats about how to shield Obamacare from Republican efforts to dismantle it, a Capitol Hill source told POLITICO.
The meeting is at 9 a.m. in the Congressional Visitors Center auditorium and is for both House and Senate Democrats, according to a notice sent to members Friday morning.
“The Affordable Care Act has been successful in meeting its goals of reducing cost, increasing access and improving quality of care,” Pelosi wrote to members in a “Dear Colleague” letter this week.
************************ Pelosi goes 0 for 3.
Gee, in the name of "diversity" shouldn't Republicans be invited too?
Republicans better be damn serious about repealing obamacare.
ObOzOcare didn't reduce my costs. It went up. WTF is that useless mummified hag blabbering about?
Her mouth was open which means, 1) She's lying, and 2) delusional nonsense was falling out.
Honestly, I think she is so dumb, feeble and out of touch with the world she lives in that she REALLY believes Obamacare has cut everyone's costs, when it has done the opposite, made them go up 2-3x
Since she gets her own insurance from being in the gubbermint, I doubt she has a single clue about anything having to do with obozo-care

When you had the votes, we did things your way. Now, we have the votes and you will be doing things our way. This lesson in political reality from Lyndon B. Johnson
"Some things are apparent. Where government moves in, community retreats, civil society disintegrates and our ability to control our own destiny atrophies. The result is: families under siege; war in the streets; unapologetic expropriation of property; the precipitous decline of the rule of law; the rapid rise of corruption; the loss of civility and the triumph of deceit. The result is a debased, debauched culture which finds moral depravity entertaining and virtue contemptible." - Justice Janice Rogers Brown

Don't know how the Clinton Foundation is doing, but perhaps this is an indicator:
Clinton Foundation chairman Bruce Lindsey, a longtime Clinton crony, announced the family’s latest move in an email Wednesday to supporters.
“As we prepare for a new year, President Clinton and Chelsea remain dedicated to our work providing everyone a chance to succeed,” Lindsey wrote.
The email message asked for donations, claiming Bill Clinton would personally triple “every gift” up to $200,000.
“Your contribution before the end of the year is so important that President Clinton is personally TRIPLING every gift to the Foundation, up to $200,000,” Lindsey said.
sort of like, for every dollar you send to my savings account, I'll triple it.

Liberals are always offended about something. They were offended about something yesterday, the day before, last year. As it is New Years day what have they found to be offended about, today?

No, I haven't. Pelosi 'is' bat shit crazy, but she's not dumb/stupid. And she 'is' monumentally corrupt. Ole Hilz is just in a class by herself when it comes to corruption and graft, so in that regard, yes Pelosi 'is' an amateur.
