    People are focusing too much on the firing.

    This was not unexpected and there’s a high chance she asked him to sack her. Could be lots of reasons, but most likely because she told him she wasn’t going to perjure herself for him in her HOC deposition. This way everyone saves a bit of face.

    All this stupid glee is really silly. This is a promotion for her, both in terms of stress and paycheque. It makes him look decisive. It buys him more Epstein time.

    People just see the verb and start dancing. These guys are trying to navigate the biggest scandal of modern times. Every step is designed to buy time. And she was loyal to him, and isn’t going to go full MTG either. This is a win for Mango and ShartNose.

      She still has to testify though. AOC said the subpoena is for a name, not a job title, so if getting fired to dodge was her goal then… Lol.

    Trump’s obsessional with loyalty is a projection of his own inability to be loyal, he fears others will do to him what he does to others.

      The reason why society doesn’t commit evil on each other is because once you void the social control you are prey. The fact he never learn the hard way is a crime.

    I never understood the logic of his underlings. Regardless or rather or not he fires them. Sooner or later he’s either going to not be in charge or die and not be there to protect them (not that he actually does that either tbh unless it benefits him). Do they not think consequences may come later? They’ll be the first idiots under the bus tires when the elites need them some scapegoats to quell the masses.

    Does it matter? It’s all flooding the zone. Congress financed the Iran war.

    She is way too old. Its handmaidens all the way down. All the handmaidens will be under 18 and blonde. After all these shitheads are convinced being a child rapist is normal.

    They all think they’ll be the special one that doesn’t get thrown under the bus. He really likes them, they’re “one of the good ones”. Fucking idiots.
