[“However, Trump’s staffers have warned the President against another firing so close to Election Day.”]
In a way, the poor bugger has no choice. The facts are coming out and the ship is sinking.

Are we finally seeing the long awaited pivot to being presidential?

I really hope that the voters in Kentucky decide to hand MoscowMitch his walking papers. And then the voters here in AZ vote for Mark Kelly. And if trump gets fired I will be a truly happy man.

If by “vetting” you mean rating how fervently they make out with a photo of the president, then yes.

Trump has reportedly been itching to oust Esper for months

I just keep hoping that’s not going to be the epitaph for the United States.

At this point I doubt trump is capable of acting out a role. He has no acting skills. All we get is … trump.

I don’t believe it for a moment. Trump came riding in to save Stars & Stripes as part of the damage control after the Atlantic article.

Defending “The Stars and Stripes” was apparently the straw that broke the camel’s back. How dare a Defense Secretary care more for “suckers and losers” instead of Donald Trump!

Especially the ones that have been confirmed by the senate. Can’t just swap anyone in as acting secdef (though they might try).

But where did the impetus to close Stars and Stripes in the first place come from (especially two months before the election). Was that Esper? Not likely.
On the other hand, I would be surprised if Trump had even heard of the paper (he mistakenly called it a “magazine”).
So where did this come from?

Hey, even if they closed down the Stars and Stripes the radio operators would still have the Bullshit frequency. Any of you ROs out there remember that in VN?
