Yup, things are spiraling out of control. Not to mention the other hundreds of govt. jobs that this administration still has to fill. No self respecting person wants any part of this administration.

Just finished reading it, and yes, it isn't normal.
Oh. My. God.
What's happening? Like what do they know that we don't? I mean it's got to bad there. These are officials who worked for both Democratic and Republican administrations.

Yeah, I saw some comments on some news sites, and his supporters think *this* is "draining the swamp", and they are happy about this...

I am sick to my stomach. Either they just don't want t stick around for Trump, or they know something.

According to my friend, all of the people who resigned are not politically affiliated.. so they're not leaving strictly because they are democrats and republicans are now in office... it seems to be deeper than that, which is concerning.

Yes, these people have worked for rep and dem administrations. Nothing to do with politics. Everything to do with crazy president.

I have read that they were asked for the resignation not that there was a coup of sorts. Waiting to find more to read on it.

Cnn is stating its actually a law that requires the resignationl but they usually stay on for a couple of months to see through the transition. Trumps team went and let them go ahead of their replacements coming in.

Washington Post said some top officials weren't asked to stay on but a bunch decided to retire so it seems they are dealing with an excessive amount of resignations coming from the State dept.

Here's the problem: with this entire new administration, we won't ever know the truth. Gag orders and tight lips abound
