Hmm, who to rout for.

ETTD.

Not too much longer to the obligatory “full confidence” tweet. Followed by Mulvaney’s “resignation”.

polling nearby staffers about his value.

Definitely signs of a strong, powerful leader. “Hey, underling, how do you feel about how other underling is doing?”

Who’s ever been asked this by a competent boss? Anybody?

Jared for acting acting CoS? Or maybe as a recess appointment?

I’ve already used it in the past but still valid…

The myth of Donnie’s superior management and negotiation skills was shattered long ago. On his reality show he could proclaim “You’re fired!” but in real life he is a dysfunctional, passive aggressive, chicken shit.

What’s the next step after firing an ‘acting’ COS? Getting someone from a temp agency?

It’s probably mean to wish for a murder-suicide, but alas, I’m not a good person this morning.

Well of course. It’s June, the end of the season, need to do a bit of cast shake-ups to have some fresh faces for viewers to tune in to see in the fall episodes.

Sometimes I get the feeling that watching the staff work day at the WH is similar to what you’d observe in the returns department of a Wal-Mart on December 26th.

The fact “cough” that Mulvaney is “cough” also a heartless dick “cough” has nothing to do with Trump’s or the other staffers’ anger; they’re just pissed because he revels in the trappings of the job, which every other blatantly corrupt Trump cabinet member - Azar, Ross, Perdue, Carson, etc. - also does.

You knew he was an asshole when you gave him the position, Fat Ass. He was always this way. Another great vetting by you and your minions!

Only person left for the job is Ivanka.
Oh please, please, let that happen…

ETA… It’s weird for me how I’ve become so religious. Started praying all the time for, well, you know, bad stuff to happen, but still, it’s prayer.

Yeah, but at least at Wally World, chances are I can exchange that 5-disc “The History of Ted Nugent” CD collection someone gave me because they had no idea I despise him and I can take the store credit and buy something I really do enjoy.

With Trump, you know he’s going to exchange it for something even worse than what he originally got for Xmas.

Yup
Nothing more nothing less, although I don’t think you can save the ratings of this show

You kidding? It’s got a higher body count than Game of Thrones, and since it’s running on the local networks and not just cable, gets to a far wider audience.

I hear the writers have an incredible 2020 season planned.

The projection has always been world-class, but I confess I didn’t see this particular wrinkle coming, that the guy most recently pop-culture famous for shouting “you’re fired” at a TV camera is small-c constitutionally unable to terminate a troublesome or ineffective employee.

I’m considering making voodoo dolls of the bunch of them and stabbing the dolls each day.

Who knows, with all the weirdness in our little corner of the universe right now, it might just work.

And if it doesn’t, it may help keep my blood pressure under control…

(Apparently there is a market for Cheatolini voodoo dolls…you can select from a variety of models. This one looks appropriately primitive…) :joy:
