Who will be next out of Trump's kakistocracy?

[Artemus]

John Kelly might be next. We can only hope...Kelly is the only one who has been able to establish any sort of smooth operation in la-la land.

If he answers a question about whether Kelly is leaving with "we shall see," then he's gone.

Trump's major weakness... he is the polar opposite of Bill Belichick. He is incapable of sizing anyone up for qualifications. All he knows is "what have you done for me lately", much like Krusty the Klown. So he appoints syncophants from his campaign to positions of power or importance regardless of how terribly unqualified and unsuited to the position they actually are. It is bad enough he is an outsider, he is an outsider without a clue.

If Trump is so incompetent and clueless about hiring people, explain how it is that Omarossa and Scaramucci got jobs with him.

Rob Porter falls.

And others might fall with him. That story is not over.

Speechwriter David Sorensen is the second staffer to resign after revelations that his former wife Jessica Corbett accused him of violent and abusive behavior during their two-and-a-half-year marriage.

Slightly off-topic but I think the poll would be more amusing if put into the form of a roulette wheel.

WASHINGTON — The Justice Department's third-ranking official plans to step down, as the agency has been the target of withering criticism by President Trump and Republican lawmakers, the department said in a statement late Friday.
Rachel Brand, who only last week was praised for her leadership by Attorney General Jeff Sessions, will be leaving the department in the next several weeks for a position in the private sector.

Well, Hope Hicks just resigned. Will she end up as a Faux News bimbo?

White House preparing for McMaster exit as early as next month

WASHINGTON — The White House is preparing to replace H.R. McMaster as national security adviser as early as next month in a move orchestrated by chief of staff John Kelly and Defense Secretary James Mattis, according to five people familiar with the discussions.

How the hell is this government supposed to function? Will there be anyone left in the next six months?

Gary Cohn

The door is revolving very fast.

Another one bites the dust. His inability to keep a full cabinet is one reason why I'm relatively okay with Trump being in the White House. He has evil goals, but he is almost entirely incompetent to achieve them.

 

[southernhybrid]

Yup! How much do you think the stock market will tank tomorrow? Anybody want to take a guess?

Just posted in the other thread. Yikes this door revolves quickly.

Regardless, if he's in office much longer, he will fuck up the economy, leading to a loss of millions of jobs, and possibly lead us into the next recession. So, I'm not okay at all with him being in the WH.

Well, I'd rather have someone competent and not evil. But if it's just between Republicans, he seems like the least capable of an uninspiring set.
