This is the absolute bottom of the barrel. The leftover scum. There is no one else he can call on. Anybody else would be even worse than these guys if that is even possible.
Waltz would be taking (part of) the fall for loser Pete Hegseth, whose role in the scandal Trump, who is gravely dementing, just can't grasp. When you're fired by POTUS because he cannot see actual treason staring him in the face, you have hit the bottom you signed up for when you took the job.
Nobody is even talking about it, but it seems highly likely that they were doing all the dumbfuckery on their personal phones vs. Uncle Sugar-issued ones. Because Signal isn’t an authorized app, and if you install that shit on your work phone then the IT goons break your kneecaps (acknowledging that the Executive Branch probably operates under different standards than we did in the DoD). So if they were using their personal devices they were multiplying the risk, because who knows how early they could have been compromised? The phone, and/or the person.
We all had such high hopes for each and every one of them until they revealed to the world that they were very bad people, the very worst for that job.
Pffft! NOT! It was Trump with his record of failures choosing people. The man and his team will get people killed sooner or later. My money is on sooner.
"Remember how in Trump’s first term, some Cabinet member or high administration official was on the bubble about every ten minutes? This time it has taken 70 days"
* If I recall, the Fulvous Fuckwad was still trying to get his POTUS legs for the first several months he was in office. He was hesitant to shake up his Cabinet and wasn't sure about how far he could press the RINOs.
* To date there are several Cabinet members and senior "advisors" now on the bubble, i.e. Waltz and SecDef Kegbreath -- and even the DOGEbag-in-Chief, who is pissing off the MAGA base.
* I expect to see an extended "Friday Night Massacre" to begin very soon.
* There are cracks starting to show in the Amber Ardipithecus ramidus' armor, RINOs with buyers remorse, and a couple of the whining little flying bugs circling the dim bulb that is the Mango Malignancy are beginning to quietly question whether the current (mis)administration might be going a tad bit too far. It behooves all of us (IMO) to start to exploit the cracks and widen them.

"how to broker peace between Russia and Ukraine"
IDK what they need to discuss since the final word will come from the Sociopathic Marigold Swamp Monster, and the only advise he listens to is his own. ("If I want your opinion I'll tell you what it is.") Besides, no matter what the Sandstone Snowflake says, he plans on throwing Ukraine and Zelensky under the bus for his bestest butt buddy: Vladimir Vladimirovich.

"so few of his hires this time around have provoked calls for their firing"
Huh? Granted, there are almost no calls for firings from the RINOs... because most of them are spineless jellyfish afraid of the Pumpkin Pestilence's shadow. They rubberstamped almost every one of his nominees (but Gaetz was a bridge too far), and calling for the removal of any of them would reveal them to be the sniveling simps that they are. Dems and centrists were/are already vehemently opposed to the inexperienced asshole candidates put forth by the MAGA oberster Führer. In the words of Nina Simone, "This is the world you have made yourself; now you have to live in it." Unfortunately, so do we.

"This is in an R+14 district that Waltz won by over 30 points in November. A Democrat winning would be a major upset."
A Dem even coming close, within five points or so, should be viewed as a canary in a coalmine. The RINOs are in deep shit, IMO, and it's piling up even more, as witnessed by James Malone flipping a state red district in PA:
> "National Democrats were particularly bullish about East Petersburg Mayor James Malone's stunning victory by less than a percentage point over Republican Joshua Parsons, who campaigned as a Trump ally in Lancaster County
The more asshattery coming from the Tangerine Tyrant and the New GOP will very possibly cause one or both Houses in Congress to flip in the midterms. (Wishcasting? Maybe, but this outcome ***can*** occur and will begin to free the country from the MAGA yolk.

Lie, deny, distort, deceive, accuse... Anything but taking responsibility for their screwups, and being even minimally less opaque about their illegal, unethical and immoral actions.
Remember, everyone - these assholes are NOT playing 4-D chess, this is not a masterminded "distraction plot". They're both evil AND genuinely fucking stupid. Also too, the majority of people are paying attention to multiple things at once, so please give us some credit.
"...his is not a masterminded 'distraction plot'."
Thank you! I'm sick of hearing opinion wonks claim hat every non-economic policy horror that the right has been promising to unleash on us for generations is just a "distraction" by billionaires to make more money.
It's not. They actually believe the shit they claim to believe. Fuck the "It's the economy, stupid" crowd.
Famous American Philosopher Yogi Berra once said: "We made too many wrong mistakes" before he admonished us to realize that ""It's like déjà vu all over again".
And that explains why this clownshow, pooch screwing administration seems so....familiar... to us.
Not embarrassment -- his inability to admit even to himself that he made a bad choice. I don't think Trump is constitutionally capable of feeling embarrassed, because his fragile ego won't let him go there.

I've seen that "which phone" part of the disaster mentioned ... just not gone into in depth by MSM
Shocker, I know
Ten down, 198 weeks to go.
Day drinking will get me through. Or kill enough brain cells I won’t care.
Ta, Gary. Yes, the week is young yet.
Next week, I plan to start a rumor that Pete Hegseth's wife said something unspecified but unflattering about Chump.
Waltz is a Democrat plant.
Pass it around.
It has already been stated that no one will be fired, one can only assume Waltz will be retiring to spend more time with his meeting apps
Just as the American consumer can absorb only so much of Chump's fuckups, Fox News can only absorb so many of his appointed failures.
Some will have to go to Newsmax.
Firing Walz or Hegseth would mean that Trump had made a mistake, and Trump doesn't want anyone to think he EVER makes mistakes.
They aren't going anywhere.
They need a fall guy, and Heritage Foundation will find them something else
Remember when DT had to get rid of Flynn (after he'd hired him after the Obama Administration had fired him)?
It was quiet ... and then he popped up at the head of some Coalition of Stupid or other
In his first term he fired someone weekly.
We all had such high hopes for each and every one of them until they revealed to the world that they were very bad people, the very worst for that job.
Pffft! NOT! It was Trump with his record of failures choosing people. The man and his team will get people killed sooner or later. My money is on sooner.
When I get off of this mountain
I know where I'm gonna go
Straight down the Potomac River
to the Gulf of America

That is the one question I'd like to ask his supporters, the one question they actually can't answer:
Aren't you tired of being lied to.

I'm sure Waltz would have been bounced days ago if it weren't for Trump's sense of embarrassment.
