PhreeZone 20 #1 December 15, 2016 What is the worst thing that a lame duck session has turned out? My money right now is on the NC session occurring right now to strip a lot of the power from the newly elected democrat Govenor. http://mobile.nytimes.com/2016/12/14/us/politics/north-carolina-governor-roy-cooper-republicans.html They are making a lot of the currently appointed positions reclassified as employees so they can not be removed by the next administration. While a Large number of positions need to be apolitical so that the employees are able to work without fear of being penalized for doing something that was asked of them under the previous administration, certain positions are basically the spoils of winning the election. In this case it would be the same as telling Trump that he now can no longer a point his cabinet and must use Obama's since he now can not replace them.Yesterday is history And tomorrow is a mystery Parachutemanuals.com Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Good description of him anyway.... The only sure way to survive a canopy collision is not to have one. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
