"The US president was referring to his chief of staff, who he said had persuaded him to return to the campaign trail ahead of the 2026 congressional midterm elections."

That sounds like she's secretly trying to kill him. Good morning!

Three hours to the 4th test😀🎄

We already got our licks😀

Or just wanted the SOB out of the WH for a couple of weeks.

"Keep your friends close, but your enemies closer."

Amazing how many dead people are related to this case!

This is going to end one way or another. And if history is any guide, it swings hard to the other side. When it does, those without an "I really wasn't one of them" card may very well get clobbered. After all this shit, the concept "for the good of the country" may have a whole different meaning than it has the last 20 years. Investigations, prosecutions and perhaps jail. I don't think Dems are going to hold back one bit this time. They damn sure better not. With something like that in mind, perhaps this is the beginning of Wiles putting some separation between her and the regime.

And I totally believe Rick Wilson - she knew exactly what she was doing in those interviews.

She is anticipating the political bloodbath when the fucking pedophile goes horizontal and wants no part of it.

Just you watch as that fucking cuck Stephen Miller tries a coup to take the top job from the Couch Fucker.

Also, the first casualty in this circular firing squad will be MAGAt Mike Masterbater Johnson, the knives are out for that motherfucker.

Has the personality of a demented porcupine. He has no friends, no following, and no chance. And should he somehow get even close, the line to piss on his impending grave would be hundreds of miles long.

Perhaps they're too stupid to know this doesn't end well for them. Not after all this. When their benefactor is gone, they'll all be pulled apart like rag dolls. With that in mind, maybe Wiles feels it's time to check the parachute and start looking for the exit.

In other news...Mitt Romney is worried about pitchforks. He should be. The reckoning is going to get ugly and it isn't going to just be this regime. Better get on the right side or his 0.1% buds might find their heads on figurative spikes. They were also part of this.

Miller will make a play for Vance’s power and he’ll only get one chance to do it. JD is already getting slowly pushed aside. Rubio is brown and has no chance at the Big Chair. The wild card is Thiel. Will he toss aside Vance for Miller and Vought if they play ball with him?

And no one will care, nothing will change.

He and Harry Litman had a discussion about her, and Whipple pretty much said she, like the rest of the White House, is in a media bubble, and they're pretty much detached from reality. He doesn't think Susie is going anywhere.

This interview is definitely worth your time:

Hope you’re having a great Christmas
🎄🎄

yes, it's definitely worth the time. I'd add to your comments that she feels free to do anything she wants because she knows the orange gibbon needs her.

I suppose dying from embarrassment and shame is also a possibility but that would assume some level of self respect and I think they all had to have that removed before they could work with Trump.

Gets off on enabling evil.

She doesn't put the brakes on him. She lets him do any old stupid thing he wants.

She's a gatekeeper. In the first trump maladministration, anybody could walk in and throw something on his desk. No longer.

Big deal. Certainly not how I'd spend my career.

because even if we don't flip both houses of Congress we're going to make a big enough dent in the GOP's absolute control that Fatso will be shrieking with fear and rage and since it couldn't possibly be his fault,, he will be firing people all over the place.

I also don't think they're going to keep both houses of Congress, FWIW. (plink, plink)

They smell blood on the water; the beginning of the end of the MAGAts. This is their chance to get rid of this guy without causing too much damage to themselves.
Yes, they're going to lose control of the House, and possible the Senate. But in the end they'll be free, even if it means a decade of rebuilding the republican party into something that can actually work for America.

The MAGAts were never a sustainable movement; too radical, and too focused on one man's perverse view of America. They were too consumed by hate to ever carry this nation forward. Their view of the future was too dependent on hate as a driving force force to propel the nation into the future.
It could never work.
I see this as a tactical sacrifice of position to allow a chance for traditional republicans to actually rally their forces.

We shall see what happens.

LOL

It's contract signer's remorse, but the joke's on her. Satan already has her soul in perpetuity.

She knew what he was about but did whatever she could to get him elected.

I think this is the most important line in this article:
(From the OP)
"Her critics argue, however, that she has been unable to say no to Trump and is therefore complicit in his authoritarian expansion of presidential power, which has included the indiscriminate firing of federal employees, a draconian immigration crackdown, and deadly strikes on alleged drug boats in the Caribbean."
