I have a feeling this is just the first wave of senior officials to leave their posts in the coming months. Already we've seen lower level bureaucrats go rogue on Twitter letting the rest of the world know very few people are actually interested in a #TrumpNation.

They might as well retire every president comes in and staffs government with his own people why should Trump be any different

Wayne R the only difference is that you usually have the old guard stay around long enough to show you where the restroom is. Trump is kicking them out before new bosses are in place. I've seen this happen before. The underlings take over and tell the new boss all type of crap and will do things to protect their own jobs. It's not a smooth transition and the incoming leaders will spend the next 2 years figuring out how things run, when to outgoing administrators could have told them in 10 minutes.

David Simmons but if the Old Guard is diametrically opposed and certified obstructionist in every way to the new guard they gotta go

The Washington Post is a 'lefty blog?' And, of the two of us, which one has a degree in Political Science?

So, I asked Andrew Tamm, who filled my Stream with a hundred (sarcasm there) animated gifs and cat pictures to remove me from whatever Circle he has me in where he posts the animated gifs and cat pictures. It was either that or unfollow him and I didn't see any reason to unfollow him. Me asking https://plus.google.com/112885755521259735422/posts/78dwnvvgh4p <==edited to add the correct link Then he plusses me onto Public posts of animated cat gifs : https://plus.google.com/u/0/112885755521259735422/posts/EuuR1tnU3vJ https://plus.google.com/u/0/112885755521259735422/posts/8r6Grcm2Jpj https://plus.google.com/u/0/112885755521259735422/posts/74PgSu6iL2s Then one of his friends (or Circlers) starts plussing me into posts of animated cat gifs : https://plus.google.com/u/0/107120198886093172821/posts/gRW9JhWLs5T Don't get me wrong, I'm all about sarcasm and messing with people, but this seems sort of childish to me. Am I the only one who thinks so? So far I have only blocked

I'm shutting down Google+ for the night and quite possibly for the weekend. Why? This stupid #gifwars thing people are so proud of. This Adam Black guy said he doesn't like gifs and now everyone is mass trolling him. Having been mass trolled like this I can relate to him easily enough. Have an opinion and the collective might of Google+'s lower class denizens jump on a bandwagon. I just saw a post where someone wanted to jump on board and had to get clarification she was tagging the proper Adam Black. She wasn't even connected to him ! Nor was she a part of the original discussion. She just wanted to follow the herd. When I called her out of it she claimed, "one gif doesn't make a troll." Perhaps not, but she's contributing to a larger troll effort. One straw doesn't break the camel's back, but thousands will. So, tonight, Google+ disgusts me. It probably will tomorrow as well. And possibly Sunday. I gave up Google+ for two months this spring
