Wait. I thought I heard on cable news that Orange Fool did in fact fire her, but due to his cowardice, the termination hadn’t reached her yet.

Apparently Twitler’s communication channels aren’t as sound as an old fashioned face to face dismissal.

My two cents

Usually you’re supposed to make your big firing announcement after you’ve fired somebody, or at least after you’ve determined that firing that person is within the scope of your powers.

But inability to competently/effectively fire seems to be a shared family trait.

“It is the position of the Office of the First Lady that she no longer deserves the honor of serving in this White House.”

You keep using that word…

High-school drama is laden with gravitas compared to this baloney. The charge is spreading rumors? Or to phrase it more accurately, the rumored charge – delivered via non-identified sources repeating rumors – is that rumors were spread? This White House is such a joke

This is how a “well-oiled machine” functions.

But only after someone has thrown sand in the gears.

Notice how no one in the White House seems to care whether precipitously firing a Deputy National Security Advisor because Safari Sally* doesn’t like her will have any impact on, you know, national security?

*alternatives were “Colonial Connie” and “Pith-helmet Polly.”

Like stereotypes and cliche’s, most juicy rumors have some sort of basis in fact.

Can’t say why it came to mind. must be the rumor thing, but ya gotta wonder, can Trump watch porn on AF1?

Ricardel is reportedly still employed at the White House, despite the damning statement released by Trump’s spokesperson Stephanie Grisham on Tuesday…

It would seem every hour Ricardel's still in her job represents a challenge to Melania's "authority" and standing in the White House. Trump hasn't the balls to fire her. No one else will presume to make the move, or is likely even empowered to do so. Stalemate.

Nothing exposes the classlessness of the average right-winger than their innate and genetic pettiness.

The tone of the WH statement makes it sound like Ricardel slept with Donald.

Well, it’s often difficult to tell whether any Trump appointee is actually conducting any substantial business related to their ostensible policy portfolio.

You can count on them to be doing something (purchasing a Cone of Silence, designing a personal flag of office, blaming their wife for going shopping for dining room tables, requisitioning Air Force resources to fly their wife to a political rally), but their job? That seems a rarity.

On Morning Joe earlier, it was reported that Ricardel and Melania had never actually met yet here’s Melania putting out statements that a national security adviser needs to be fired over rumors of rumors and seating on a plane. These people are as petty as the pettiest girl in a bad high school movie from the 80’s.

I know, I know, we need to stop doing this, but I can’t help it, y’all. Can you imagine Michelle Obama doing this kind of thing? Even for a moment, no matter how badly she’d been treated or how disgusted she was with a staffer?Can you imagine Laura Bush or Hillary Clinton behaving this way?
