The top official at the Department of Homeland Security will resign effective at midnight, a DHS official confirmed to TPM following multiple reports of the ouster.
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…
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.
