I was on my phone when I first saw it. I first thought it was Tommy Wiseau.

That moment you realize you would seriously vote for Tommy Wiseau for President if he was the nominee running against Trump…

Sad times these are.

I guess Huckasands got tired of having to wash her mouth out with soap after every time she talked to reporters. Either that or she wants to get paid better to lie for a living.

This is more likely.

So… she’s going to have a show on Fox News?

Nah - she is an all-in true believer of the bullshit

Ka-ching!

Can a tree slit its own throat? asking for a frond…

Need to go listen to Elton’s classic Funeral for a Frond/Leaf Lies Bleeding.

Is this metaphor more or less painfully obvious than the sinkholes that opened up under the White House?

This was no suicide…

It was a bit like a Quince, but that does not make it Quincy.

I laughed out loud at the office at this one, you maniac. Well done.

Current Secretary of the Army will be the new Acting Defense Secretary, current acting defense secretary will go to a nice farm upstate.

For those keeping score…

He’s said publicly he prefers acting roles. The obvious reasons are because of no need for confirmation, easier for them to do evil deeds without consequences as they aren’t big-time pols, and also they’re easier to get rid of when they (inevitably) eventually betray him. I wouldn’t be surprised if he finishes his term with most of these positions acting or vacant.

I don’t understand why any President bothers to go through with the confirmation process given the rules about acting cabinet members. Just one more area where Congress has abdicated its authority, though I guess we can take comfort that McConnell will reign that in just as soon as a Democratic President tries to pull the same tricks.
