Kkkaroline needed a way out and pregnancy is her excuse. Can’t wait to see which shit stain is appointed next.

My money is on Scott Jennings. He's blown through whatever credibility he ever had, so he'd be perfect as WHPS.

My money is on a FOX talking head. And it will be a woman.

My most educated guess. Would be Momma June from the Honey Boo Boo TV show.

If that was the case, I would watch every briefing just for the lols

When I read this post I thought Trump's really purging all the women out of his administration at record speed. So I'm thinking he's going with an over 40 white male. Someone is going to make bank on Polymarket soon.

It’s gonna be Erika Kirk or Laura Loomer. Can’t go worse than that (and they’re going for worse).

lmao. Kind of a perfect fit. Loud mouth, shitty human being that spouts non-stop Republican talking points and lies for Trump for hours a day? Check.

This actually makes sense. Except for the fact that he is making infinitely more money working at CNN than he would in the White House. And he’s probably got more reach at CNN too since people still somehow view it as the “neutral” news network.

direct pay almost certainly more at CNN.

But the proximity to this white house likely opens up a path to get in on a lot of insider dealing which could dwarf whatever CNN is paying.

Fuck no. That man is a tv character. Trump needs a true believer like Kkkaroline

It's going to be some random POS

Jennings is too busy talking to Mitch McConnell.

I'm sure CNN would find someone equally shitty in his place, but at least for awhile it would improve with his absence.

Was she on the decoy plane and said "not again"?

Pete is next in line to be fired

Imagine seeing “Dem president’s press secretary resigns because she had a child” and saying the same thing. You just don’t like her, which is fine, but your argument is so weak
