May she never work again.

Ah. Iâm sure this will be forgotten until the next time she violates the Hatch Act and people raise the alarm bells and nothing happens ⌠again.

Yeah, I was thinking âWasnât that at least two years ago?â Oh, I see⌠again. Well, he wonât fire her, again.
As for backfilling SHSâs job, I figure they might rotate Katrina Pierson back in front of the cameras.

As poor a rendering as the trumpbot is, they did get three things surprisingly right:
- The ill-fitting suit
- The wee tiny hands
- The overall sense of existential dread it inspires

EDIT: the almost always great Lili Loofbourow has a fine take on Sandersâ legacy, including this insight:
Her valueâand Scaramucci never understood thisâwas her ability to [loyally normalize despicable conduct] in a distinctly un-Trumpish way. Rather than be sensational or offensive or inflammatory, Sanders was staid and dull. In an era characterized by âWhite House in chaosâ headlines, her repressive calm served an essential function. âSanders possesses a unique talent that, heretofore, has not quite been considered a talent: She can deaden a room,â Jason Schwartz wrote at Politico. As a public servant, Sanders was abysmal. As a public speaker, she was subpar. But as the first line of Trumpâs defense, she was absolutely indispensable.

I really expected it to be Kellyanne after the release of the report showing sheâd broken the law multiple times with blatant Hatch Act violations. But of course not, because: Hey, the law doesnât matter anymore!
As for distractions: itâs clearly going to be a war with Iran, now that Pompeo has declared that Iran was responsible for attacks on oil tankers in the Gulf of Oman this morning. Itâs the excuse theyâve been trying to create for a while now.

Good riddance. Sheâs been a terrible Press Secretary, and has shown herself to be a terrible person.

Unpopular opinion: Better to keep SHS, because we know every appearance she makes will be a risible load of inept extemporaneous bullshit, just like last time, just like next time. Keeping her would be great because weâve finally all learned that itâs safe to ignore her; whatever sheâs on about is a distraction anyway.
Replacing her, or stirring controversy by not replacing her, will only kick off a new cycle of media coverage, speculation and distraction.

There is something about the attacks that real does feel like they are trying to create something. Like the first round was supposed to work but fell short. I can just envision the Saudi forces in their diving gear with some bone saws for good measure. I trust all sides involved to absolutely lie. Who knows when or if we will actually see an explanation that is believable.

I have sources that say the top contender for the job is John Barron, a long time Trump spokesperson and a great guy who has done the best, the most beautiful job, of any jobs, ever, or so some people are saying, I would say that too, a beautiful job. He will be working remotely for the moment but I am sure we will be hearing from him often. Mostly via twitter statements (what you people call tweets, so undignified, even if I do send most of mine from my golden toilet) itâll be beautiful. Beautiful.

Yeah, it would be weird, right when the US has moved into the area, spoiling for a fight, that Iran would suddenly decide, âHey, I think this would be the perfect time to randomly attack some tankers!â

Given that her last press briefing was in January, sheâs not even trying to keep up appearances.

$180k a year is pretty good for doing just that.
