    she got REPLACED BY todd BLANCHE, the one that gave ghislaine her low minimum security facility. trump thinks because BONDI was attracting too much attention to epstein, getting rid of her was his only choice to make people not investigate further. by putting in BLANCHE , he guaranteed theres even more attention to epstein files.

      Ultimately because she failed to make the Epstein thing go away, by for example she actually released some of the files she was required to release by law, many of which named Donny multiple times. She was only supposed to release the ones without his name on them, apparently.

      And then she didn’t lie enough to congress to suit Donny’s needs.

      And on top of that, underneath all the eye-candy makeup for mango man, she is fundamentally a woman in a position of power, which really grinds his gears, especially at her age.

      To a demented narcissist such as mango man, everyone else exists solely to service his needs, and as soon as they fail to do that, he cuts them off and replaces them with the next sycophant.

      Furthermore, his fronto-temporal dementia has erased his self control, and he is now just acting out every idiotic thought that enters his head, and since he has surrounded himself with yes men, nobody is going to try and stop him

      She wasn’t sufficiently Trumpist.

      Trump is worried about the 25th Amendment. He needs to keep a tight rein on his cabinet, or he won’t finish out his term.

        Okay, so nothing in particular, just not in line? I hoped she released a trailer for the next Epstein season

          Who the fuck knows? I mean, she was hired by an incompetent, senile idiot. She was fired by an incompetent, senile nitwit. She herself is an incompetent nitwit. There isn’t a whole lot of “reasoning” going on.

    I’f that was real it would have her name and title on it.

    It’s just a 8.5x11 printout in a cheap frame someone threw in the trash.

    (Where her pic belongs anyway)

    imagine selling your soul to a rapist pedophile con man only to have him wipe his ass with it and toss it on the giant mountain of previous thrown-under-the-bus discarded detritus that you 100% were aware of, but chose to ignore because you thought you were special

    not only will i not be buying her book, but i wouldn’t even pirate it either

      I feel like there’s cold logic going on behind everyone who punches a ticket to ride Trump’s crazy train.

      If you ever get thrown off, you can always write a book and do time in the pundit circuit either agreeing with him and saying they did their best, or go the MTG route and claim to be an enemy, promising all kinds of dirty laundry (that you may or may not have) to outlets that pony up for you to do interviews and stay in the limelight.

      And if the worst comes to pass and you manage to hang on as authoritarianism takes hold, you have a cozy seat for it all as the death cult rides into Valhalla.

      Showbusiness politics.

        i’m on board with all of that, except i would say reality tv politics instead of showbusiness. for the most part, showbiz doesn’t pretend to be authentic actual real life the way completely fake scripted bullshit reality tv does. it’s like pro wrestling, except they really do actually take themselves seriously

        and that’s what this whole administration has been from 2016: yOuR fIrEd!

        so fucking stupid and depressing

    At the federal office I work at, they had to screw the pictures of Trump and Vance into the wall through the corners of the frame. They made it look sloppy, too.

      She’s seen the files related to Epstein’s “”“suicide.”“” She’s gonna keep her mouth shut about what she knows about the files, because she knows she’ll end up in a bin otherwise.
