> [@enipla](#): > > Trump: Acting AG? What movies has he been in? During his first term, Trump _loved_ putting people in “acting” roles, as it meant that they didn’t need to make it through Senate confirmation. During that term, he had five different acting AGs, though most only served in the role for a short time (a day to a few weeks); the most infamous was the supremely unqualified and flat-out weird Matthew Whitaker (he of the “Masculine Toilet for well-endowed men”), who held the role for 3 months. ---

Also, speaking of ‘acting’ in the sense enipla used, trump loves his generals and cabinet members to have a certain ‘straight out of central casting’ look. I’m convinced 99% of the reason he hired Kegsbreath to be Secretary of Defense is that he’s handsome and looks like he could play the part on TV or the movies. He’s about as qualified to be the actual SoD as an actor would be, as well. ---

> [@aurora\_maire](#): > > I’m sure that one is safe. The only way she could lose her job is to tell the truth and she’s incapable of that. I don’t think she is, and Trump doesn’t just want people who will lie for him. He wants them to lie and do impossible things. Eventually, he gets pissed off about his stupid shit failing, looks for someone to blame, and fires the closest person he sees. He has “joked” about getting rid of her already. > **[President Donald Trump Reportedly Looking to Replace Press Sec.

I fully expect the orange asshole to treat his fired female cabinet members like he does his ex-wives: keep them close and happy. Noem has some bullshit title and Bondi will probably be named Intergalactic Attorney General of Space Force or something equally meaningless. Bondi turning on Trump and coming clean about his directives regarding the Epstein files would be the sweetest sight, but it’ll never happen. ---
