Peter GleickJust a note that Noem and Bondi weren't fired for their evil actions.
They were fired for not being evil enough.

for a day, while . . . š½notice they are incompetent women, the incompetent men remain . . .
Colman Reilly@cgsines @petergleick but not incompetent or foolish enough to think they didn't have to maintain some standards (I *know*, it's drawing the line at putting rats but not people in the sausages) to survive when it all falls apart.

No, they were fired because women were never respected, though occassionally politically useful, but there is no longer the need for even a figleaf of female involvement in the MAGA regime, as the Save Act will effectively disenfranchise enough women to remove any real influence.

Sepia FanI don't think that's a contradiction - you're both right.
xs4me2But of course and he will drop them like a rag for another willing evil dunceā¦
Nini@petergleick Huh, I just figured they were disposable as a consequence of being female in a misogynist administration.

Nazo@petergleick I feel like it was less "not evil enough" and more just "convenient scapegoats" but the fact definitely remains that the administration isn't firing them for being evil and absolutely replaces them with more evil.
gluttoHow'd that blind loyalty work out for them? Oh, yeah, just like all the rest. "She was terrible, and I never knew her."
Perhaps they both sucked at sucking up.
Sailor Anarres@petergleick ehh wouldn't say that they were plenty evil enough their "evilness" had little to do with it.
Justin@petergleick
I think they were fired because they are women, evil or not. They were both quickly replaced with men.
I suspect Tulsi Gabbard to be fired within two weeks.
T2R@petergleick At least markwayneās departure from the Senate makes the Senateās average IQ go up a bit.
Pete Gontier@petergleick @avirr They were probably fired for a variety of terrible and invalid reasons that even Donny canāt articulate reliably. I think the essential problem with Donny is a mental illness so broad and so deep that conventional public discourse cannot even begin to address it.
Avi Rappoport (avirr)@integerpoet @petergleick + greed, hubris, and a complete lack of empathy
@avirr @petergleick Those are definitely more useful words than āevilā. But I think his problems are worse than that. I think he occupied a private universe long before dementia set in.
@integerpoet So really, itās his enablers we should blame. Twice.
