President Biden fired the Architect of the Capitol on Monday in a brief, terse letter, bringing an end to the career of a Trump appointee that was mostly illustrious for its vibrant allegations of wrongdoing.
Naval Academy guy. The Service Academies are batting 1000 on knuckleheads.
How bad a Republican do you have to be to have the GOP lose confidence in your actions? Sounds like Blanton and his family are working hard to be just like their hero, TFG.
Secondth, maybe.
A Donnie appointee: āā¦only the best people.ā
They all seem to be cast from the same mold as their nominator, who also thought he was the best of all people.
Just ask Ronnie Jackson.
Only Trump could make Michael āHeckuva Jobā Brownie" look like a solid pick.
It is legitimately amazing how Donnie managed to consistently find people like this. I suppose everyone in his orbit is a crook and/or a con artist.
It is simultaneously completely amazing and the least amazing, most anodyne, most expected thing ever.
Architect of the Capitol?
How old is this guy? How is that not the story here?
the allegations around his tenure appear to have been so egregious that House Republicans began to push for his ouster last week
Never let it be said that he did not jump on that landmine with both feet.
Oh, cāmonā¦letās see the text of this terse letterā¦
He wasnāt there on Jan 6th. The GQP / TFG appointed him to compromise the security of the capital and he didnāt even show up to the party.
Heās drawing all kinda of attention to the fact that the GQP has a guy with all the keys to the capital during a dem Presidencyā¦ and not even a single conspiracy theory to show for it!
If you canāt do your jobā¦ you gotta go.
Guess he needed more time to grow into the job.
āāThe complainant claimed the driver made obscene gestures toward them while at the stop sign outside the parking garage,ā the report reads. āThe OIG later identified the driver and passenger to be the daughters of Mr. James Brett Blanton, SR-00, Architect of the Capitol.āā
"When asked about the allegations regarding the family use of his car, Blanton demurred. āThat would be something that would have to be discussed with them,ā he replied. "
Threw them right under the bus. So thatāll make for some interesting dinner conversation at the Blanton house.
Now get DeJoy outā¦
I was going to pot this exact same thing.
How utterly Trumpian of him to underbus his own kids.
Speaker of the House Kevin McCarthy (R-CA) tweeted earlier on Monday that he did not have confidence in the architect.
Now do George Santos, Kev.
Another PAB.
Trump never knew anything about government apart from being sprung by his attorneys when it became necessary.
The American People voted this guy into office
I havenāt gotten beyond that yet.
