Saturday morning, we wrote about Donald Trump being poised Friday to fire Eric Siebert, the guy he himself nominated to be the US attorney for the Eastern District of Virginia, because Siebert wouldn’t convene a grand jury to try to press charges against New York Attorney General Letitia James for some made-up mortgage fraud she didn’t do. But then it all went down! Friday Siebert quietly resigned. And Trump took to his website to toot that he’d actually FIRED him on account of SUSPICION OF RINO.

    I love that he signs all his ‘truths’ nowadays, like an elderly relative on Facebook. Lots of love from Auntie Joan x x x

      Everything about it is either terrifying or pathetic.

      His dementia’s not going to get less, ever. Just like his “politics” should science ever determine he had any, it only ever gets worse.

    We should just get AOC to start calling his entire cabinet strong progressive warriors who are doing all they can to sabotage Trump’s agenda…

    He’d jump on it in a heartbeat because it would explain why things aren’t easy.

    Just keep pointing at random fascists and call them communists. Not only does it give some of them the boot, the ones who manage to stick around start thinking about tossing him out with the 25th.

      You had me until the last paragraph… The Orange man and MAGA in general don’t care about communism anymore. The government owns part of Intel now, his best friends are Putin and Xi, he’s pushing changes like the government controls all the means of production. Communism is hip now it seems.

      Maybe if you call them socialists? But only because their base doesn’t really understand what it means, they just hate it but secretly want it when it benefits them.

    So we can get him to fire his co-conspirators if we say that actually we like them? It’s a bold strategy Cotton…
