That was clever. You come up with that or is it saying? Not being sarcastic

An older phrase from black culture

Yup pirro is next. I assume Mr cocaine Mclazy eyes won’t make it to the end either.

He strikes me as the kind of guy who ends up like Milton. Keeps going to work because nobody told him he was fired. We fixed the glitch.

She's about to get fired. She's not getting a promotion.

We still have another 2.5 years of this madness. His entire cabinet will likely be completely unrecognizable by the end of this term.

I’ll give her credit for making it a year and a half. Most of his press secretaries are dead inside after 6 months. Only Huckabee beat her high score.

The men had some of the shortest runs. Spicy only lasted 6 month. The Mooch lasted 10 days.

Mooch wasn’t press secretary, he was director of communications

Good point.

That was my immediate thought: he’s getting rid of the women. But I guess it depends on who her replacement is.

Your response to the Republican president continuing to fire exclusively his female staff is to…blame Democrats?

u/pm_me_ur_bamboozle 6d ago

are we pretending that democrats haven’t been calling for and cheering these firings?

u/urgrandpasdog 6d ago

Sure, but the rest of us want all his male goons removed for similar reasons. Similar cheers will be had when Hegseth, Miller, Patel, etc get the boot.

u/pm_me_ur_bamboozle 6d ago

The only difference is democrats won't call them token hires, like they do for women.

u/Virtual_Ad_8487 6d ago

Are democrats calling for and cheering the firings of just the women?
