Yes its rumored replacements are being shopped for Noem who is apparently not evil enough.
But the telling part is this is a sign that no one in proximity is looking out for America.
Were so fucked.
Just call me Captain Obvious.

(5,230 posts)They were all against Trump in 2016 but sold their souls to get a little bit of power. They probably still dont like him but have to keep the act up.

(30,133 posts)I mean, how often does (or did) the press ask him about operations from his own administration and he answers, "I don't know, you'll have to ask ______"? He doesn't know what's happening 90% of the time. Why fire anyone when they're taking all the shit and he is somewhat off the hook to freely golf or snooze whenever he wants.

(20,612 posts)In some very small part, the people who adivse trump have determined that it was not useful to his cause to have so many firings in the first year or so of his term.
Do you remember Rachel Maddows wall of Dismissal? A graphic reminder of the short tenure of many officials. I think this stuck with his advisors.
I believe the decision was made to stick with, no matter how odious, how berated his picks, his original cabinet picks simply because everyone was laughing until the tears ran down their legs.
Miller? Bannon? Don't matter. Some jerk has said "you can't go firing cabinet secretaries every coupla day. Looks bad"
Right because it looks like THEY CHOSE A FUCKING MORON FOR THE JOB. And the rest of the mob are just catching up with this.
