Lee Zeldin is a lunatic.

Went from somewhat moderate Repub from Long Island to full on MAGA loony toons because he saw opportunity in it.

What a riot.

Trump's on the "Who can I throw under the bus?" step of his meltdown.

Let's hope we don't get to the "Who can I nuke?" portion.

Fmr AG Bondi likely allowed too much of the Epstein Files to be released.

When are these idiots going to learn that they're disposable and will absolutely take every fall Trump wants them to?

Zeldin would be a moron for taking this.

Markwayne Billy Bob Sister F*&^er is stupid enough, so there's no wondering why he signed up.

Based on his past replacement selections, it won't matter or actually be worse.

With her and Noem, that's two DEI Cabinet hires gone. Tulsi Gabbard will probably be next. Linda McMahon is too rich to fire.

She will be sent to a well paid job on a farm in the country. /

She just wasn't good enough at Hiding the Epstein Files as he wanted her to be.

The problem with Loyalty Only hires is the Incompetency than can come with them.

Rudy Giuliani in Drag is prolly the next AG.... although Todd Blanche has all the G. Max files on Trump.

No kidding... ad hominem as argument was her only tool.

Which is prolly why she's on her (maybe) 3rd husband.

Too low profile to make Trump look bad.
