Romney (McDaniel) looks like she's doing a reenactment of that scene in Ghost, only produced by James O'Queef...

Is it normal for someone in Trump’s position to wield so much power over his party? To be the prime decision-maker on the administration side of things? Does Biden get to decide who runs the DNC?

These weirdos are so cartoonishly committed to their creepy agenda and distorted reality they all end up getting high-paying jobs somewhere in the wingnutosphere. She will work for a PAC or a lobbying firm and grift herself into a mid-6 figure gig. Hell, even that abusive, penis-flashing weirdo Jason Boebert was reportedly making $450,000 or so per year as a “consultant” for an energy firm. Doing what? Who knows. But many hard working people making under $100k who don’t get violent with their wife and kids or flash their ding dong at bowling alleys are probably disgusted by that. Remember that Jason Miller bobble-head with a weird goatee who impregnated AJ Delgado while his own wife was pregnant? He was quickly dismissed by Trump in 2017 while in consideration for press secretary or deputy, and landed on his maga feet doing…consulting…for $400,000 a year, if I recall correctly. It could have been $600,000. It can pay to be a sleazy sycophant.

Consulting is hard when you can't control your penis and it flops out whenever a teenager walks by. It's hard!

So ... how do we get a consulting job? And is selling your soul a requirement?

Always.

Sigh. That must be why I don't have one then. My soul isn't for sale.

Is she going to take her name back too? or does Trump keep that in his safe along with her and every one of his supporters' dignity and conscience?

I'm reminded of a focus group leader's comment from, I think the 2016 election. They told the group exactly what the Republican's plans were and the group refused to believe it. Trump has been telling people for years exactly who he is and people can't believe because "no one" could that cruel or evil.

As the late, great Maya Angelou said:

"When people tell you who they are, believe them the first time."

Whoever Trump installs as head of the RNC wouldn't be able to embezzle too much money because Trump's going to take it all to pay for his lawyers.

She's kind of like a legacy student. Sometimes they do great. Or not.

Looking forward to the Pink Flamingos reboot.

“The best kept secret with Trump is that he doesn’t actually like to fire people,” a Trump ally said.

No, he prefers to call for their hangings.

I seem to remember the head of some agency was traveling and heard on a news account that he'd been fired while in a room with some of his underlings.

PAB couldn't fire the person with a phone call, or have someone else do it, apparently.

It's not been a secret for a while that he doesn't like to fire people.

Just like everything else in his bully life, his big man line in "The Apprentice" was a revalation into his psyche that the front he presents is pretty much the opposite of reality.

James Comey, I believe.

Couldn't have happened to a nicer guy.

Expand full comment

It was Comey. An aid brought him over to a TV after a speech to show him CNN announcing he was fired.

That Guy has certainly been telling us who he is for years, decades even. Yet I can still find it in me to be chilled by statements like "McDaniel did great when she ran Michigan for me.", as if states are regional offices under CEO Trump.

My gawd, I love "The Prisoner" and all references thereto.

So, the world’s 4th worst nepotism hire gets shit-canned. Huh. Couldn’t happen to a nicer gal.

Trump is currently presiding over a failing RNC, a failing Trump Organization, a failing presidential campaign, and a failing marriage to Melania. Insert joke about getting tired of all the winning here.

In other words, he's got a perfect record (everything Trump touches dies). That's good news for us, yes?

I wait with baited breath for her book and interviews on Fox, with the same anticipation I have for doing my taxes.

"Jessica Patterson, the chair of the California Republican Party,"

California has a "Republican Party"? I suppose I have to go to Redding to see it.
