White House Survivor

[Foolmewunz]

This Friday when her employees don't get paid would be an ideal moment for Kristjen Nielsen to resign in protest. It might be the one thing she could do at this point to try to rehabilitate herself.

Is there any reason to suspect or to even hope should would do something that would amount to a grand gesture? I've seen zero indication that she's anything less or more than a xenophobic, prevaricating, paleo.... in short, 100% Trumpette.

No, I can't imagine her being loyal enough to her staff or the nation to do something that principled.

Not technically a White House resignation, but probably WH-related

Trump is having problems finding a new Sec of Defense, with at least wo prominent canidates turning it down. Who can blame them?

Maybe they're hearing him ask if they want to be "Secretary of The Fence".

(did I make that joke already? Never mind, it fits here too)

Working for the current White House has become the epitome of the "career-limiting move".

The rate this shutdown is spiralling the USA into the sewer, the next to be voted off the island will be one of:

1) Mitch "The Turtle" McConnell
2) Mike Pence
3) Donny.

Pence shows as much life as a hibernating bear.

So if they fire him, who is going to notice? It would be like emptying the trash can.

As an elected official, Pence cannot be fired by Trump.

Demoted, then. To Chief Footstool.


Oh wait. He is that already.

 

[The Great Zaganza]

As an elected official, Pence cannot be fired by Trump.

Just assign him an all-female Secret Service detail - he would have no choice but to resign.

The talk is that Rosenstein will be going once Bar is confirmed.

If I were Rosenstein, so would I.

Kushner is taking longer than advertised to fix our relationship with Mexico and China, reform from the ground up the Veteran's bureau and the tax code and bring peace to the Middle East.
Trump should fire him and get someone to get these few things in order.

Who told him to do that?! What a waste of talent! Donny is in deep trouble and needs some handy scapegoats around in the White House to foist blame on. Get Jared back there stat!

Let's hope the new AG takes a hands-off approach.
