I guess he had it coming with the “mooch” entering the circle of trust.
The circle of trust looks like a colander.
Now Trump has to get a new Homeland Security Secretary confirmed? Jesus Christ.
It’s always Friday night. We were all expecting something.
Kelly doesn’t seem all that insanely devoted to Trump, so this is rather surprising. (But yeah: new Cabinet appointment needed. Could it finally be Rudy Giuliani’s time?)
Wait! I saw all this in The Godfather.
I wonder who President Nixon will fire next?
Oh, wait, that was 45 years ago… Just seems like today.
So will Steve Bannon be the next to go?
and Mooch’s wife gave him the ax today.
I’m wondering if there isn’t more to the story, given that the details are still breaking. So Preibus is being fired as Chief of Staff. Is there going to be a real replacement or is there just some kind of lateral move without the official change of title?
I find it hard to believe there isn’t a wicked punchline still waiting to be delivered
It will be interesting to see how long Kelly lasts. He knows little of Washington, and is likely used to barking orders and having them followed. I could imagine him grabbing the Mooch by the throat and pinning him up against the wall if he pisses Kelly off.
It’s been clear for a while that Trump only wants top-down autocratic types in the White House - either generals, CEOs, and powerful people who are crooked. Wouldn’t surprise me if he pardoned Bernie Madoff and made him Treasurer.
No. I think Darth Bannon is the one pulling the strings by “advising” which direction to go.
I would pay to see that.
Pay-Per-View could balance the budget.
If by “go” you mean defecate, my money’s on no.
As seen on Twitter: Priebusly, on the West Wing…
Homeland Security Secretary to Chief of Staff? Is that a promotion or demotion?
I was sort of thinking Anthony Scaramucci would take over the position and consolidate it with his current head of communications job.
I think it looks like the proverbial Polish firing squad.
Maybe Trump thought it was only HIS homeland that matters, so it will be a hyphen position: Homeland Security-Chief of Staff.
