    Trump Cabinet exodus likely after midterms
    After two years of already-high turnover, the president is expected to push out or accept the resignations of several more department chiefs by January.

    The list includes United Nations Ambassador Nikki Haley, who announced last month that she will depart by the end of the year, with no replacement in line. Trump is widely expected to oust Attorney General Jeff Sessions, whom he has criticized for months. Others who appear most likely to depart, according to administration sources and White House advisers, include Defense Secretary James Mattis, Interior Secretary Ryan Zinke, Commerce Secretary Wilbur Ross and Homeland Security Secretary Kirstjen Nielsen, a close ally to chief-of-staff Gen. John Kelly.

    Trump allies said that, in choosing replacements, the president will have a particular focus on how they might benefit him politically.

    What did Wiiiilbur ever do lol?
    Talk about "low energy" though, that man could put a f'ing Jack Russell Terrier to sleep when he talks. In that regard I'm surprised Trump hasn't already sh*t-canned him for being boring.
     


  3. Beautiful Ted Cruz will be taking Jeff Session's job if he loses in Texas.

    Would hate to lose that Senate seat to Beta-male but if it happens then "Beautiful Ted" (as trump calls him now) is likely to resurface soon. Probably have to wait until Mueller claims to be done. Not sure that Rosenstein would like that but at some point it would be nice if the DOJ is not just all about what Rosenstein wants.

    How many more times do you have to be wrong? Mattis was supposed to be gone 18 months ago. Sessions was supposed to be gone 18 months ago. Rosenstein was supposed to be gone last month. Pence was supposed to be gone a year ago.

    BTW, according to Here4money, Hillary was supposed to win in a landslide.
