Wasn’t this a side plot in a West Wing episode?

Long is another idiot that Trump chose?

No one has been running the place since Jan 20th. It’s a revolving door of semi-interested fill-ins. Wonder who will be the next victim?

Nothing to see here, folks! Everything is going exactly as planned

Just not as loyal as Bessent who is now in charge of it. Like Sean Duffy who’s also in charge of nasa and Rubio who’s also in charge of the archives etc. there will only be a few people in charge of the whole government.

Hmmmm www.beltway.news/p/trump-fire...

Good to know that while America’s government is under the control of fascists, it has gotten to the point where government officials who come into disfavour miraculously ’fall out of a window’.

It was too hard.

Anything!

He didn’t expect to have to actually work.

Given Long's track record, it's hard to imagine what he WOULD refuse to do. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Billy_L...

I mean, he's getting an ambassadorship instead of a schlub working stiff job. So maybe the question is what he did do.

Data. Data access.

Work. All these Republican blabber mouths discovering government is hard work.

And the same gang of dolts bang on about the "dignity of work" as they slash safety-net programs...

Behave ethically?

Or did he do something and now wants a cushy ambassadorship as a reward?

Reign in those Duke boys, I suppose

Perfect

I think you are probably right and the fact this is the guy to show a spine is hilarious to me

I wonder what he DIDN'T refuse to do before he finally found his breaking point. In Trump World, there's always another ask and no matter what they do today, there will be something worse asked of them tomorrow. Do it or be gone.

Kinda scary to think of who will replace him. Long was already wildly unqualified for the position to begin with.

I think the answer is "anything at all" since he's reportedly going to get an ambassadorship.

That’s the booby prize, to get him to go quietly.

Audit Obama, Hillary, Kamala, Comey, Pelosi, Schumer, etc.

Probably didn't audit enough poor people. Let too many on EITC not have to prove they "deserved" it. IOW - not enough Scrooge in him.

Sending him

Legit question - do trump or his family members still pay taxes ?

My guess: audit each and every user of BlueSky.

No fear. "Jim Beam" Bessent will fill his shoes. No, I am not making this up.

I'm betting Laura Loomer reminded Trump of that time when she disrupted a Congressional hearing and he auctioneered over her to drown her out.

I mean, this is the level of decision-making we've come to expect.
