Cruelty and cowardice by Trump, (how Trump fired Prebus)

[Stuart G]

This says so much about Trump. He never told Prebus. He let his goons do it. Please read the graphic put up by Josh Marshall.

I wanted to show you this graphic I put together which shows the timeline of Reince Priebus’s firing. In this case when I say the timeline I mean a short period of roughly 20 minutes when the whole thing unfolded. Why the precise details are notable will become obvious when you see them.

We’re able to do this because we have pool reports with precise times around the time Air Force One landed at Joint Base Andrews as the timestamped tweet the President used to announce the firing. What they show quite clearly is that Air Force One landed. The President waited for Priebus to get off the plane before tweeting that he was fired. He then waited for Priebus to be escorted away before leaving the plane himself. There’s even a Godfather-esque moment in how the SUVs were handled. Check it out

1. And yet

Priebus was on the news yesterday saying he still stands solidly behind Dolt 45. He must have been promised some other role or some sort of reward?

2. I thought Prebus quick the day before? Why is the M$M conflating, even on faux news they were saying

... "firedquit"

[WePurrsevere]

8. On talk show circuit, Priebus said he had handed in his resignation...

the day before but went on trip anyway.

Putting that together with other stories like this one it sounds like Trump pulled a "you can't quit, you're fired" fast one and then the rather odd mafia-esque scene occurred.

I swear everyday reads like a scene out of a bad soap opera. It's the most bizarre bullpucky I've ever seen come out of the WH.

14. Yeah, only positive I see right now if Red Don doesn't 100% wreck the joint is KKKons can't say shit

... about how class less, stupid, morally absent,unpatriotic, completely dumb and industrially fucked up anyone else is.

The KGOP owns Benedict Donald along with the Russians

didn't Ryan even joke about the Russians paying Red Don once on tape?!

Its like they don't give a fuck, let Russia run it ... they some assholes.

[gratuitous]

3. As we know, Trump is kind of a chickenshit

But that still doesn't make me feel sorry for Spicer or anyone else who willingly puts himself or herself under this prick's tiny little thumb.

4. Trump is a chickenshit asshole.

He is frightened to do the correct thing...Like telling Prebus directly, "I am going to have to let you go because of ................."

and then the way he finally does things, most things...is so much the definition of an asshole.. The worst way..mean and vicious. Like this tweeting crap. That is no way to inform people. It might even be the worst way to spread information.. So, Trump is a .."chickenshit, fucking asshole" .

5. What a pathetic coward!

Sooner or later, everyone will turn on him. They now see him for what he is. A petty, vindictive little man who will turn on anybody for the vaguest reason.

6. "Leave the gun. Take the cannoli."

9. Remember how he fired Comey? nt

[Achilleaze]

10. republican cowardice is legendary

the current republican Draft-Dodger-in-Chief is certainly extraordinary.

[oxbow]

11. priebus, miller and scavino get in the suv. they check twitter. 2 of them get back out.

epic. can't imagine the awkwardness...

[malaise]

12. IF he resigned the day before

why did he go on the trip?

His interview on CNN was bizarre - he was treating the Con with honor (his words)

13. Lay with dogs, you get fleas. Rinse Penis deserved it. nt
