He could take up playing Gollum live on stage – no makeup required.

He should go back to Cyprus, where his bank is.

I, for one, look forward to finding out if it’s possible to successfully execute a firing without waking the fired party.

Then they’ll be bringing on yet another acting actor for yet another booted position.
Maybe we should start calling around to see if others think tRump should get the boot. He thinks if only he could get rid of the next person then everything would be running smoothly. No self awareness to know he’s one of the big problems.

In his case, they would have to bring him back from the dead.

Before Ross can be fired, the WH has to find another host for the parasitic brain worm that animates him.

To cut ties with an old Epstein pal or not to cut ties, that is the question…

They have to find a successor, of course. I can see the job posting now:

“Actual Q&E to run DOC not required. Less racist and/or more ethical than current Commerce Secretary need not apply.”

Wait, I am not defending Wilbur Ross here. But Trump declares Trade Wars and imposes Tariffs on his ownsome, via Twitter with Peter Novarro whispering in his ear like Grima Wormtongue, and Ross is to blame? Trump backs down on the Census citizenship question and Ross is at fault?

Is General Mattis the only Cabinet person who is going to tell Trump he is absolutely full of shit? And that being President of the USA is not some rigged Apprentice TV episode?

Save that one for Ben Carson or Rick Perry (yes, they still have jobs).

Sounds like a job for Kris Kobotch.

Uh-oh. Better lock up the Sweet N’Low in the WH break room.
(and check your wallets)

Edit: the betting process is getting difficult.
Who goes first? Dan Coats or Wilbur Ross? Or a person to be named in the future?

Looking at his picture, it looks like where he comes from is maybe a hundred or so parsecs away.

Look at that head! Doesn’t he look like an sextuple-amputee octopus?

He’s got to be the most anemic looking vampire ever.
