One day notice won’t look good on his resume… hell, I’m sure it won’t matter because he won’t be able to get another job.

So did Trump demand Wolf’s resignation because he extended cooperation to Biden on inauguration security?

Midnight? Seems fitting to be skulking out under cover of darkness…

Trump isn’t Tweeting now so he’s screaming.

Interesting timing. I hope the FBI is keeping an eye on him.

How can you resign from a job you don’t legally hold?

Why would he move the prep up a day?? That’s one less day to prepare for the coming shitstorm.

Is anyone else starting to feel nervous about the chaos and dysfunction taking hold at the highest levels of our government? It feels to me like we are extremely vulnerable to all manner of foreign (or domestic) chicanery right now…

And another ‘actor’ steps into the important role. And why, why, was a Department of Homeland Security in Qatar? Looking for extremists, perhaps? :face_with_raised_eyebrow:

Coward.

He’ll have no trouble finding a high-paying do nothing job. There is a vast Republican enterprise of media, advocacy groups, and think tanks with high paying jobs for loyalists. Given his loyalty to Trump and his do-nothing approach to the President’s attack on the Capitol, he will probably end up running one of those enterprises. Sick, I know, but this the Republican way.

On another note: I’m guessing that before Trump leaves office, he pardons most of the insurrectionists. They were doing his bidding. The pardon power is nearly unlimited. He has no shame. Decent people will be outraged, but the racist scum and other ignoranti who adore him will love it.

But he did such a fabulous job securing Lafayette Square. I guess now he’s really scared. There ought to be a prohibition against cabinet officials bailing in the final week, particularly with a lunatic in the WH. Do. Your. Job. Then quit. Only then.
Craven toadies, all.

Until there’s evidence to the contrary, I’m assuming this is a cowardly act to avoid responsibility if anything goes wrong.

The court decisions that he isn’t legitimate Ha! How long has he had to act on those?

Highly likely, but Trump is having real difficulty getting words out right now, given his extreme anger.
