It must feel shameful to pay $1 million for the plum post and get fired! Hopefully he has uploaded all relevant documents, photos, recordings and other data to a secure location in anticipation of future legal hassles.

Did Collins chime in with her usual bullshit?

Not so fast, Mitch. You still have to finish Deripaska’s aluminum mill in Ashland, KY. Putin would be very disappointed in you.

He’s such a dumbass he’ll probably still give tRump another $1 million for his reelection campaign along with a slavishly praised thank you note to the Dear Leader. Sucking up on a grand scale never ends with these idiots.

Now he’s firing his appointees who were unqualified from the get go?

How on earth will he find other less qualified people to replace dupes like this :thinking:

Sondland was Trump’s hire so he can do whatever he wants with him. Retaliation is still illegal, not that it matters anymore. Waiting for all the rest of those who testified, the actually competent ones, to be “escorted out” or “recalled.” I believe in the history books this is called a purge.

I suspect there are fewer and fewer yokels willing to take their places. That many fewer collaborators who can turn witness I suppose.

As long as Trump signs off on the stooges they’re picking to pack the courts they will let him get away with anything. And every GOP Senator except Mitt will turn their heads and go Nyah Nyah to Democrats when Trump shoots someone on 5th Avenue.

That’s about right. The likes of Rand Paul and Graham certainly approve of it.

Just wait for Trump to name Princess Ivanka to replace Sondland.

Almost makes you miss the relative subtlety of Stalin…

Well, I hope this news, that Trump will fire anybody in his circle who tells the truth, gets wide circulation. And these are not the only such people, just the ones who testified (or spoke out) during the impeachment investigation.

tRump should’ve just moved him over to a new job…something like his food taster. I hear the last one died of mysterious circumstances.

He’s fired how many people in his first term so far I wonder. Can you imagine if he were to win a second term how many more he’d fire? That’s providing he can get anyone to still work for him. He might find himself cooking his own food and checking the incoming mail himself in the White House if this keeps up.

In 1941, Stalin executed 30,000 officers in the Red Army to get compliance. This was not revealed until 1997. It is probably even more interesting today what is going on behind the scenes. It’s about fealty, purity. Everybody else is dross.
