I think the entire WH Service Staff should be the first to bail.

"Loyalty oath" or not, it's up to the Big Maids and the Lesser Maids. It's up to the sou chefs and the top meatloaf makers, those who clean up after the chefs, the marble polishers and the WH toilet scrubbers
(OMG), the shoe shiners and closet organizers and manicurists, the sink cleaners, garbage collectors,
those guarding the garbage collectors, the garbage-collector guard guard. The plumbers. Most of them paid
handsomely, enough to retire early, I'll bet. The entirety of the WH service staff.

The mirror-polishers. The pubic-hair removers. ALL of the professional dusters. Everyone who requires a
face mask when working w/ dangerous chemicals in the WH periphery. The flower-arranger. Those who have to scour behind the toilets and the greasy WH stove. The vacuumers. The floor polishers. The delivery people. The lawn mowers (imagine that!) . The landscape artists. The window washers. The Coke-Button
guy (would pay to read that story). The patissiers. Those who remove clogged hair from the WH drains.
The pest exterminators. The KFC drivers. The electoral-college-map copy guy. Those on Electoral Map
Lamination detail. The gold- plaiting repair & restoration people. The sweepers. The coffee server. The
furniture lifters. The picture hangers. The stair cleaners. The toenail clippers. The launderers and dry
cleaners. The hair- doers. Those people, all those people who "process" things. The hedge trimmers and
leaf-blowers. The pool cleaners. The gunge-removers. The chimney sweeps. The WH "Greeter".

Those who may look at this list and say things like, "I'm not on that list! I hold the door open. If it weren't for me, that dumb hairbucket would have to figure out whether to push or pull it to get through the doorway."

I'll bet they put up with an infinite amount of shit. They're worth a lot more than this, surely. Maybe treated more unfairly than any maid/ professional duster/ garbage collector/ electoral-map-lamination guy in the history of history. They probably have stress like we can't even imagine, with that big, ugly box-of-nothing in charge. All that chaos must be working their nerves. All that yelling & noise is not good for hard-working people. They deserve a day- or a week or 2! -off. That's a big decision, but who wouldn't enjoy a free day in the sun with one's OWN friends and family. Laughing and having time to roll their necks and loosen up!!

I wonder how many of them want to see the flabby ass-end of this imposter in-chief. I wonder how many of them wanted to say "take this job and shove it" and quite possibly open themselves up to endless
opportunities and enjoy a little local fame. At the exact same time?? The WH lawn would be an overgrown
wasteland! The Trumps would run out of toilet paper! Trumps everywhere would be forced to refill their own
beverages! DUST BUNNIES would fall from chandeliers onto anyone's head. It would actually, physically reflect how the WH is being run.

That would be a spectacle. It's interesting, because the WH Service staff are in a curiously powerful position now that all hell's broken loose.
