Thankfully a man, Kash Patel (who I could never see eye to eye with) will be the next to go. I was beginning to think that Trump was a misogynist by firing only women.

He still is a misogynist, and a bigot, racist etc.....

There’s still a pattern here: 1) fire the women, 2) fire the dark-skinned men, 3) ??

IMPEACH AND DUMP TRAITORS, NAZIS PEDOPHILE PREDATORS AND ENABLERS , IMPERIALIST CRIMINALS, WAR MONGERS, CAREER CRIMINALS, CRIMINAL GRIFTERS, FASCIST PIGS, FRAUDSTERS, RACIST, AND CON REPUBLICONS EVERYWHERE. RELEASE ALL UNREDACTED EPSTEIN FILES AND JAIL CON RTRUMP. AVOID CON RTRUMP'S AND THE REPUBLICON'S RECESSION AND DEPRESSION. FIX CLIMATE CHANGE, FOR THE FAIR DEAL, NOT THE RAW DEAL. VOTE BLUE AND SAVE DEMOCRACY. STOP THE RTRUMP OLIGARCHY. BOYCOTT CRIMINAL RTRUMP & ELON- THE NAZIS. INVOKE 25th AMENDMENT AND DUMP CON REPUBLICONS.

You’re RIGHT, Jim. You don’t have to SHOUT. 😰

Janet White's avatar

Haha vote blue? Blue or red both are demonic.

Sheila's avatar

Oh stuff the demonic business.

Adria R's avatar

That's such nonsense. There's a very clear and distinct difference between the two parties right now.

Janet White's avatar

Yeah both parties are bought and paid for

James Byham's avatar

That's very true but only one is the 4th Reich .

Janet White's avatar

Both are fascists depends on their interests

Cassady's avatar

The whole point of Democracy is that the voters get to impose their will on the government as long as there is SOME difference between the two major parties.

The Republican and the Democratic Party HAVE NEVER been so different from one another in my lifetime as they are right now.

If you can’t tell the difference, you’re not paying attention.

(Republican politicians PRETEND they are patriotic and liberal. They’re not. They PRETEND Democrats are corrupt and right-wing. They’re not.

Republican politicians keep claiming there’s “no difference” between the two parties.

Sadly, Republican politicians lie.)

Could you use some bullet points to make the list a little clearer. Not sure I’m clear what you’re trying to say 😏

I am really looking forward to the discovery process in the ATLANTIC lawsuit.

colo-ski's avatar

It won't go that far because they never take it through Discovery because they know they will be exposed for something even worse

Daniel M Kimmel's avatar

I would but I doubt it will get that far. The Atlantic reporter says people have been coming out of the woodwork to confirm her story. I think it will get dismissed.

Actually, Trump lucked out beautifully in PA. He didn't get Oz, but Fetterman is as MAGA as they come. The sad thing is Pennsylvanians knew Fetterman was a liar...witness how he lied about his stroke. They surely also knew about his anger issues too. Hopefully they'll correct their error next election, if we have any.

I was one of the idiots . 😖

The most chaotic and unfit cabinet in history

Hey, the fish stinks from the head.

I believe you’re missing a word in the article title. Should it be: “When Trump *Fires* You”…

Cassady's avatar

We should add a new definition to the word in his honor. “When you’ve humiliated yourself and your family, when you’ve been as self-abnegating, as loyal to Trump as it is humanly possible to be, . . . and he TRUMPS you anyway, . . . “

Came here to say this, I was soooo confused lol been working all night and my tired brain didn’t compute hahaha

America: you MUST deliver resounding results this November. Regardless of which party you associate with, this is about GOOD VS EVIL. And just as they did in Germany, post WWII, rewrite school curriculum from K-12 and higher, so that this EVIL never gets to occupy your WH ever again. Rooting for you 🇨🇦

I agree there will be firings to try to distract from trump's ongoing failures. We cannot let the stories he's trying to cover up get away from us.

Great post, as always. "The Roy Cohn School of Management." Wonderful. Was it in "Angels in America" that Cohn said he wasn't homosexual: he just liked having sex with men? I think the clown/princess got an A at Cohn's school.

Afraid to ask, but curiosity compels me - the "A" represents - what, exactly?

Fred Jonas's avatar

Just to clarify, the princess learned from both her daddy and from uncle Roy that you can say any preposterous and flagrantly self-contradictory thing you want, you can be an inveterate liar, but if you stick to the script, you can lull people into believing you.

Fred Jonas's avatar

That he did very, very well at learning from Cohn.

netta glaser's avatar

You are right, it was Angels on America

Secret Service drops the ball, Head of FBI gets canned. S.N.A.F.U.

"firing Kash Patel is like shitting your pants and changing your shirt."

Says it all! And those are two things Der Furor can do with astonishing regularity.

Now, as for Kegs-breath...

Colorful analogy!!

“When things are going badly for Trump, he reliably shifts the blame away from himself and onto someone else.”

Absolutely right, and worth pursuing one step further: he actively chooses his subordinates for incompetence and personal mess. They are detachable, after they roll around for a while in the shit they like to roll in.

From their side, it’s not that bad a deal either. For little cost, they get to taste the fruits of high-end corruption not otherwise available. It’s time-limited, but hey isn’t everything?

A final point of interest: the difficult problem of those few — and progressively fewer— who must have competence to deal with the intrusions of the real world.

I would add it is not just the Thug-In-Chief but the majority of the Supreme Court and the Speaker of the House, and the billionaires who are buying representatives and senators, and enabling this administration.

"Citizens United" has said corporations are entitled to have their "voices" heard through explicit bribes. Sorry "campaign donations."

Them gaining the right to vote at some point is no longer beyond the realm of possibilities.

Liz Illgen's avatar

I cringe to think WHO the orange felon believes is "better" than patel...or the gnome...or barbie bondi, or anyone else in his cabinet. "only the best" has become, "only the best at kissing my ass and publicly praising me", and that SCARES THE SHIT OUT OF ME!

Susan's avatar

Yes, Pam Bondi gone, now we have Toad Blanche.

Fred Jonas's avatar

You correctly answered your own question: "better" than KA$H means better at kissing the princess' ass, and not causing disruption that compromises the princess. I'm not sure it's not contradictorily a problem to attract more attention than the princess gets.

(I used to call the thing that lives in the White House Donnie. Then, I switched to "the clown." Now, I call her the princess. She loves her bling, her baubles, and her imagined ballroom.)

Only two cabinet members did not last for Joe Biden's entire term, Both resigned. Based on tracking up to early 2024, President Biden experienced very low turnover in his Cabinet compared to modern predecessors, with only two principal Cabinet-level departures in the first three years: Secretary of Labor Marty Walsh (left March 2023) and Secretary of Housing and Urban Development Marcia Fudge (left March 2024). Trump actually considered this a weakness of Biden because he didn't fire anyone.

Trump's first term. Based on first-term data (2017–2021), only four of Donald Trump's initial Cabinet picks stayed for the entire four-year term. A significant majority—roughly 15 to 20 top Cabinet-level officials, depending on how acting roles are categorized—left, were fired, or resigned before his term ended. This represented the highest turnover rate in nearly 100 years, according to analysts.

This is only the first year and we are up to four and counting. This is the Trump way of running a business into the ground and blaming everyone but himself. In business, in marriage in everything he is without fault. "Let him who is without sin among you be the first to cast a stone". Nobody has thrown more stones then Trump.

Of course HE is the problem. The sooner he is gone, the sooner we can start rebuilding the government. Unfortunately, it will take generations to get back to the functionality that was destroyed in a few minths. Those with the knowledge and experience will not come back, so we will be starting over.
