1. I think it's a move to insulate himself from the 25th.

Unconfirmed acting officers can't form the needed consensus.

The SECDEF and Wray are soon to be axed. Fauci and others are spite.

[greenjar_01]

3. Those aren't cabinet level

They're agency level.

[Hugin]

4. It's a purge.

Probably at the prompting of Bannon who the Dotard talks to on the phone nearly every day.

The SECDEF is Cabinet level and has been mentioned as a soon to fire over the last week.

[greenjar_01]

7. Sure, but these aren't relevant to 25th

[Hugin]

10. Okay, get back to me later this week when the SECDEF goes.

We're talking about a group who has press conferences at a landscaping company because it has the name Four Seasons.

I'll say this very slowly... They are not rational. They are crazy. The things they do do not make sense.

You have to dig deeper to see the motive.

[Laura PourMeADrink]

12. You just made me think Hugin. What if it's the opposite

What if he wants to be deemed unfit/ crazy to avoid prosecutions down the road.

Or is that crazy?

If it's to avoid having the 25th imposed on him, getting rid of people in power who decide, then Pence would decide. So that would mean Pence in cahoots on this.


Reference;

Section 4. Whenever the Vice President and a majority of either the principal officers of the executive departments or of such other body as Congress may by law provide, transmit to the President pro tempore of the Senate and the Speaker of the House of Representatives their written declaration that the President is unable to discharge the powers and duties of his office, the Vice President shall immediately assume the powers and duties of the office as Acting President.

[Hugin]

15. That is a thought...

I've heard something similar mentioned before.

Or, as an extension on that, maybe he's angling for an immunity/resignation deal and is tearing things up hoping it will prompt somebody to cave.

In all honesty, I don't know and the only way we're going to find out is to see what happens. I don't think he's as stupid as we wish he was and he's probably much crazier than we think he is. It's difficult for rational people to follow or predict these patterns. We just don't process that way.

Thanks for the blurb from the 25th. That's the one I've been trying to understand. What exactly is meant by "principal officers of the executive departments or of such other body". I'm sure it's excruciatingly defined in other laws and regulations we haven't seen.

Keep thinking, LPMAD. It's all good.

16. Finally caught up on the Four Seasons deal. Funny that people are

Leaving fake reviews of the landscaping place.

Think sometime you can figure out why he does what he does..since it typically points back to him and his narcissism. Dave Chappelle said it best last night on SNL. Talking about what a poor excuse he was for a friend...like not giving two shots about Herman Cain only himself.

But this firing heads is suspicious and scary. You would think they'd all be loyalists anyway and wouldn't deem him crazy for the 25th. Unless he's planning something SUPER crazy.

We shall see!!

[FM123]

2. Yep. He just keeps throwing matches at us, even on his way out....

[SheltieLover]

6. His mission is to destroy our country, so of course he is

I hope someone - a responsible adult - has the football qnd us keeping an eye on the stockpile!

[FM123]

8. Yes. I hope so too....

[SheltieLover]

11. I've been concerned about this for quite awhile

But didn't want to voice it.

[roamer65]

5. I expect more firings.

Probably Esper and Barr.

[greenjar_01]

9. Esper won't make Thanksgiving, supposing he gets through next week

[Laura PourMeADrink]

13. What motivation would he have at this point to fire people?

Other than what Hugin mentions above? Because they are not on board with his election legal manuvering? Just because? A sane person without a hidden agenda, would just concentrate on lawsuits now, not be thinking "while I'm at it, gonna fire a bunch of people."

[roamer65]

14. Narcissistic sociopaths strike out at anyone vulnerable.

They don’t care as long as someone else pays for their mistakes.

[Laura PourMeADrink]

17. And narcissists must not consider future consequences huh.

Ticking off someone now when you might not want them to blab about you when you're out.

He's done it plenty of times, pissing off entire groups of people not thinking it would hurt reelection chances.

[roamer65]

18. It's all about getting revenge and satisfaction now.

[Laura PourMeADrink]

19. How would that work, if he fired Barr now. Surely they couldnt

Or wouldn't confirm a new AG before inauguration.

[roamer65]

20. It would be dumped on the next down the line.

[Laura PourMeADrink]

21. Perhaps a trump loyalist, perhaps not jeez, if I was a

megalomaniac I would love Barr.
