I am still flabbergasted that his handling of the Epstein case, which stunk to high heaven even at the time, had not already ruined his reputation, everywhere. But now it likely is ruined, and it will only get worse as further details of that case and Epstein’s activities emerge.

I hope Trump washed his ass that morning, for Acosta’s sake.

I will summarize that for you:
I Alex Acosta am a supreme douchebag, the end.

What Trump cares about: ethnicity first, education second. Everything else is just details not worth bothering with.

Not education, but the brand (Harvard). Branding is everything to tRump.

Any one want to place bets on how long before Trump stops talking about how great Acosta is and switches to the whole “I never trusted him he’s a slime ball” routine?

Acosta: “I’d like to resign from the Trump administration. He’s a white man. He went to Wharton, an average student…”
In what world would that be acceptable?

If Acosta was a conventionally attractive woman then Trump would have led with that.

What’s that, Alex? I can’t hear you with your face shoved so far up Trump’s asshole.
It’s like yogurt. How can you tell if it’s gone bad? IT’S ALREADY BAD.
By Alex Acosta, former person.
This is getting to be a real problem…

I’m surprised nobody on the FBI Top Ten list got a cabinet job.

I seriously thought that was a joke for a second. A part of me still believes in a rational world where the first words out of the President’s mouth about someone wouldn’t relate to their ethnicity. But it’s Monday as I read this, and I’m still sleepy, so I’m blaming that for my momentary confusion.
Yes. Let’s certainly focus on that incredible economy, and it gets more and more incredible (ie. lacking in credibility.)
I’m mildly surprised he hasn’t (yet?) pardoned Bernie Madoff and named him Secretary of the Treasury.

To be fair, being hired in the Trump admin does signal that you were the most inappropriate, incompetent, compromised boot-licker that could be found on linkedIn. It’s like an opposite-day-protestant-ethic-predestination badge and a death knell all rolled into one (which probably doesn’t puncture the golden parachute at all, those things are tough)
