This sounds like a positive development, the incompetence will slow him down. The fuckwits will be stumbling over one another. Short of mass suicide, I’m not sure what better a result we could hope for.
Right-wingers with better aim?
Jack Black would be very cross with you if he was here!
We aren’t lifelong friends, so no need for him to throw me under the bus to protect his Minecraft Movie payday.
It will also remove any worries about accidentally harming innocents when a mob storms the white house and rips them all apart
It is not a positive development. Thoughts & prayers aren’t going to save a thing.
Four Seasons Total Landscaping.
can he purge himself?
That would be in line with both the headline and his role model from the 1940s with the moustache.
He does that regularly, just too bad he doesn’t change his diaper just as often.
"Shock and horror" is more like it. I'm assuming he will replace people that don't fall in line with more white supremacy, boot licking, pig fuckers.
shock and awful
Get rid of people who actually know how to do things and replace them with his own tools.
To be honest I assumed most Whitehouse staff are political appointees. If that's the case he's looking to fire all the incompetent people he brought on himself. But some may be apolitical.
The article says “starting with mid-level staff” and they clearly don’t know how to do things. If they mean White House literally, low-level staff are probably the only people who do know how to do things right now. I doubt the kitchen workers, cleaning staff, tour guides, etc. are even people to Trump. Even the chef/kitchen staff just probably has to handle state dinners and other events but most days, just make a McDonald’s run or burn a steak.
God, what the fuck else is new? That has been every day since January, man.
kakistocracy (plural kakistocracies)
Great word. FWIW “kakken” is a Dutch word for defecating. It’s not as crude as “schijten”, maybe more like “to (take a) crap”.
The article leads with that headline, but quickly piviots to talking about Mike Waltz being tossed in a place Trump doesn't care about.
That said, if it happens, I'll laugh my ass off as they fire everyone who knows how to do the real work.
Didn't this happen yesterday?
How many times does this guy have to fill a swamp before his followers realizing there wasn't anything to drain until he showed up?
I mean… there was and is plenty of swamp to drain, it’s just that Trump was never actually gonna do it. Legalized corruption is part of why we’re in this mess.
Just remember, it's not for Project 2025, whatever that is, even though the authors are great buddies of his. /s
Before you go, mix a laxative into the sugar for the coffee.
I mean, would he even notice? I'm not so sure that he has reliable bowel control on a good day...
The plan reportedly involves firing staff in a massive wave rather than doing it piecemeal, starting with mid-level White House staffers.
Pfft...
Sounds like just purging "staff" same as getting rid of "staff" across government entities like they've been doing.
Just getting more "roadblocks" out of their way.
No reference to cabinet personnel... (other that the mention of Walz' "re-assignment".) 🤷♂️ 🤡
Purges! The cornestone of every ludicrous dictator! (A nod here to the classic Pulp Fiction line)
Rinse and repeat every 100 days.
The only ones left will be Russian and Chinese moles.
