Who will be next out of Trump's kakistocracy?

[ElectEngr]

This only proves my mind is slowly loosing it's grip on reality.

[total f'ing fiction]

From: the RealDonaldTrump

Announcing Stormy Daniels to drop lawsuit and abide by NDA. As a result will make Ms Daniels my new Communications Director. She is a great communicator. Better than Reagan,. Better than Obama. Melania and I are looking forward to having her in the WH MAGA!

[Tom Sawyer]

She'd be great as communications director. Due to the NDA, she'd be legally barred from saying anything other than "I cannot comment on that matter" and that's perfectly in line with what Trump wants from that position.

 

[Keith&Co.]

I dunno, the White House Press Secretary role might open soon as well. It would at least be more pleasing to watch...

Probably with the sound off. Forty reporters trying to get Stormy to describe 'the president's position (hurr hurr) on...'

Asking her if it's her idea or what the president put in her mouth...

Another one bites the dust:

President Donald Trump’s personal assistant, John McEntee, was escorted out of the White House on Monday, two senior administration officials said. The cause of the firing was an unspecified security issue, said a third White House official with knowledge of the situation.

I can't get through the pay-wall to see what the rest says. But it is more proof that Trump "only hires the best."

ETA: Is this Hope Hick's replacement?

ETA: CNN says it was for a "serious" financial crime investigation. Hard to believe that Trump's personal assistant might be involved in a financial crime.

From CNN

"longtime personal aide John McEntee was fired because he is currently under investigation by the Department of Homeland Security for serious financial crimes, a source familiar with his firing told CNN.

Well, Tillerson is toast.

 

[Tom Sawyer]

Well, Tillerson is toast.

Apparently, Trump didn't even speak to him or tell him why.

 

[Elixir]

Well, Tillerson is toast.

Apparently, Trump didn't even speak to him or tell him why.

He needed a headline for today's episode of The Trump Show... same old soap opera - no plot, no cohesion, just one stoopid drama after another. As long as it ain't about Russia, it's all good.

 

[Opoponax]

What happened? Did Rex say something about about Russia?

Oh look, he did:

[braces_for_impact]

Apparently he was told by Kelly to be looking to be mentioned in a tweet coming up in the next few days. Because you know, you shouldn't even break up with your girlfriend via Twitter, but removing the chief diplomat of the US? All gravy baby.

Holy fuckstickles...
Trump is so spineless he won't look someone in the eye to fire them, and he's setting himself up to face down the Little Tyrant in Korea?

What if Kim says 'Boo!'? Then where will Trump be?

 

[braces_for_impact]

Great so a former Tea Party congress critter that practically told the military to commit dereliction of duty because Bhenghazi or something will be running our diplomatic corps, while the CIA will be run by one of Cheney's dark minions.

Look at any meeting Trump has had in person, from China to the UK and Germany. He is all talk on Twitter, but when he meets people face to face, he gets so chummy and buddy-buddy. Or even the gun talk... has a meeting, and all of this leadership from the holster disappears. He wants to be good guy. He has to lurk into the shadows to become the White House Troll.

Haspel should not be confirmed. The Dems should filibuster it.

 

[ElectEngr]

I believe Turtle McConnell put the "Nuclear Options" into effect on all appointments now.

Truly, our only hope, is a good old fashion Military Coupe.

Somewhere, perhaps here, I read an opinion that Trump is basically looking to be liked by the cool kids, in this case, the powerful people and agencies over which he has no actual control.

Haspel should not be confirmed. The Dems should filibuster it.

Yep.

Let him do it, the Dems can't like Haspel become CIA director. Pompeo isn't much better.

 

[southernhybrid]

Pompeo is a pro war Trump sycophant. Tillerson frequently disagreed with Trump. Trump lied when he said he liked conflict and different opinions in the WH. He only likes people that kiss his ass, so he wants an extreme partisan who will do his bidding. Does anyone else here share my concern that Trump and Pompeo are itching to start another war?

In keeping with the times, we need a Military SUV, or perhaps a Military Crossover.

Yeah, something off road. Maybe for the Baja 1000

Oh, I think Trump thrives on conflict and chaos because it keeps other people guessing and jockeying for his favor.

He likes to exploit any exposed weaknesses and to identify and monetize any possible strengths, turning them into weaknesses.

He's a horrible excuse for a human being.
