I have this Friday firing people thing all figured out. Golfers are notoriously superstitious. Trump has to fire people on Fridays before he plays golf all weekend. Apparently he gets better ball lays when the caddy cheats for him after he fires people on Fridays. You are welcome.

It is Friday after all. But who expected him to get rid of a despicable person for a change. I shudder to think who the replacement will be

Nothing in this article surprised me except that he isn’t a Fox News host, a reality TV personality or a convicted felon. I guess there is time for all that.

Trump approved qualifications for WH Cabinet: IGNORANT, INCOMPETENT, CORRUPT, NO CLUE . . . leads to results: WASTE, FRAUD, ABUSE ... this is the collective skillset of the CONVICT #47 REGIME!

Let’s see….. What was a bridge too far? A: IRS actions against Trump’s Enemy List? B: Purging to Trump’s collective tax records? C: Discontinued probes into Trump donors? D: Jeffery Epstein something or other? E: All of the above and then some.

That was quick. I’m assuming Trump asked him to do something that the promise of a pardon didn’t cover.

He's been giving employees random early dismissal every Friday, usually announced ON Fri or at 5pm Thu so it plays havoc with schedules, and usually not something that can be accurately recorded in the IRS timekeeping system. Probably not THE reason but I'm sure his bosses didn't like it.

Dodgy credentials and lack of meaningful experience are usually a plus in this administration ..

No point in hiring real people for any TACO positions. We can save tons of money + get the same miserable Results. We just need to buy card board TACOS +place them in each department bosses office. TACO never hired anyone but axx kissers. Save money + get a TACO in charge everywhere you look.
