During President Trump's first year in office, the White House staff experienced a record level of turnover. High profile departures include Mike Flynn, Sean Spicer, Anthony Scaramucci and Steve Bannon. Of course, every presidency loses key members of staff but Trump's administration is losing a far higher share than ever before.
According to data published in the Washington Post, 17 percent of Reagan's staff left in the first year. For George Bush senior, the share was seven percent while Clinton's first year edged up to 11 percent. Only 6 percent of George W. Bush's staff left in his first year and Obama saw 9 percent leaving their positions. Under Trump, however, the share of staff leaving has risen steeply to 34 percent during his first year.
And more privileged snotty bureaucrats leaving is a bad thing….. WHY?

All I can think of is Good! he's holding his empoyee's feet to the fire. I understand why spoiled arrogant bureaucrats would HATE something like that. In fact, in the real world where us plebs live in, they wouldn't last a day on the job.

Trump is draining the swamp personally. Hiring questionable people, giving them enough rope to hang themselves, then kicking them to the curb. Best. Timeline.

Or he could hire competent people to begin with. That's also a possibility open to him.

So is everyone just going to forget what the Democrats did to Kavanaugh now that he's in now? Do you honestly believe everyone he personally chose isn't already marked and always getting the short end of the stick?

And were supposed to support republicans that have been there all along sending us straight to hell for years. Republicans who sat there doing nothing, saying nothing while Obama bypassed Congress and did as he pleased which was all entirely illegal. A polished turd [republican] is still a turd. Though I will give Trump credit for being one hell of a turd polisher because he sure has those scumbags polished. The polish will wear off after the election. A 1 party government [corporation] is in fact a dictatorship regardless of who is in power and that is what your getting by default, an authoritarian government [corporation]. On the Senate floor is it stated as, "the new authoritarian government" but then you would have to watch hours and hours of those proceeding's to hear them openly state this as I have. Sorry folks but things simply are not as you think they are and are being told. Both parties = different flavors of Satan.

Is it really white house staff turning over in record numbers, or old staff members leaving before their benefits get slashed because they're finally qualifying for retirement benefits (or well past it)? Government retirement is ridiculous nice compared to private sector retirement.
Also this. Faggots don't know how nice a government job is where you can sit on your ass and get paid to not work for 60% of your shift so long as you follow one or two stringent requirements that have nothing to do with the job. It's like how with our city bus service, the only three ways to get fired are to drive without a license, be on a cellphone AND run a red light, or to show up late for work.

I'm sorry.

turnover is healthy in an organization. most people aren't good at their jobs but you don't know that until they start working for you. old skool government lets useless workers keep their jobs forever, but a smart businessman like trump fires these idiots or encourages them to quit when it's clear they can't keep up with his amazing agenda.

DuH? This happens every time there's a shift in regime.
Staffers for Tennessee Democratic candidate Phil Bredsen admitted to undercover investigators that the supposedly moderate politician was lying to his base about supporting then-Supreme Court nominee Brett Kavanaugh in order to pander to his base.
The admissions were revealed in a 10 minute video released Wednesday night by James O'Keefe of Project Veritas.
In the video, Bredsen campaign field organizer Will Stewart calls residents of Tennessee "ignorant" - claiming that his boss only announced support for Kavanaugh to earn political points among voters.
"So he’ll lose voters if he says yes [to not confirming Kavanaugh?]" asks the Veritas journalist.
"Oh, straight up, yeah," Stewart responds.
"Are the people of Tennessee that ignorant?" asks the Veritas mole.
"Yeah," Stewart says.
The undercover operative then feigns confusion as to whether Bredsen would actually vote for Kavanaugh, to which Stewart replies: "He wouldn’t. But he’s saying he would… Which I don’t know if it makes it worse or better," adding that the lie actually "makes it better."
Another staffer, Maria Amalla, confirmed - "…It's a political move.. He thinks that like we're down like half a point right now. It’s like really close and we’re losing by a point or two. So he thinks that if like by saying this he’s appealing to more moderate republicans and he’ll get more of them to vote for us."
"I guess we won't know until November 6th if this was worth it," she added.
