1. I think Trump has a solution to that

Didn't he make a whole TV show about him firing people? And he can't figure out what to do with Baghdad Bob? Who's running this place anyway?

[Initech]

68. Why yes I believe he did!

[George II]

2. It's always someone else's fault with this guy.

[Horizens]

7. Yes

It's ALWAYS someone else fault. The buck ALWAYS stops somewhere else. Also, how many time have you heard the illegitimate office holder say he knew all the smartest people?

[calimary]

65. Welcome to DU, Horizens!

Typical five-year-old mentality in operation here. "HE started it!" "She did it FIRST!" "THEY made me do it!" "It's all about ME (I'M the only one who can fix it)!!!"

[Laffy Kat]

8. Another symptom of his narcissism.

Don't forget, while he was running for office he actually stated that he doesn't apologize because he never makes mistakes. You'd think that would have been a huge red flag, but no.

[Dark n Stormy Knight]

33. Thanks idiotic American voters who think that's a sign of strength!

I shudder to think of the home lives of some of these Stockholm Syndrome Women for Trump.

[Cha]

49. Yeah, the big whiny coot at the top who sent spicerfacts out

to lie to the American People, insisting that the trumpghoul inaug had more people than President Obama's.

[SkyDaddy7]

56. EXactly!

Seriously, I could not imagine having that freaking job!! Being a TRUMP HUMPER is an impossible task!

[spiderpig]

3. But-but-but...he only hires the BEST people!!!

Sheesh.

[cstanleytech]

39. The best at failing clearly you didnt read the fine print :P lol

[question everything]

4. The T obviously is blaming Melissa McCarthy for that.. "poor performance"

We can't have anyone making fun of the administration, right?

[mitch96]

17. Ok, this is good

der tRumpenfuhrer now regrets hiring Spicer.... after McCarthy makes him look like the ass that he is.. He will probably fire him..
Rosie O'd wants to do Bannon on SNL.... SHE WILL BE GREAT at making Bannon look like an ass... This will get under his thin skin.... and makes tRump look bad and he will dump Bannon !!!
I hope... I hope... I hope... I hope... I hope... I hope... I hope...
m

[smirkymonkey]

20. So now we just need to find a bunch of female comedians to play the

parts of the rest of his administration and we'll be all set!

[groundloop]

26. tRump can't fire Bannon, Putin won't allow it

Mark my word, Bannon is Putin's conduit to controlling tRump.

[LiberalFighter]

27. SNL should also have a guy cast for Melania's character.

With her skinny body and pouty mouth. It should be hilarious.

[question everything]

32. I think they like to leave family members alone

unless they become active. I doubt that Melania ever asked for it. She likes her life in New York, doing what she wants, buying when she wants. and being a nice prop when needed.

[Dark n Stormy Knight]

35. They did Todd Palin when Caribou Barbie was on.

Remember?

[Retrograde]

42. Bur if the family member

is suing people because they maybe interfering with her ability to cash in bigly....I think they can make an exception in Melania's case.

I don't watch SNL that often, but I remember them featuring Michelle in at least one sketch.

[Charles Bukowski]

53. She asked for it the second she went on national TV

and spouted her birther views.

Melania can go fuck herself.

[mitch96]

63. How much you wanna bet

That marriage is gonna go up in smoke.. She in NYC, Him in DC and Fla with daughter acting as the ersatz first lady... I wish them well..
m

[Dark n Stormy Knight]

34. That's what I posted last night! I think they also need to

get a women to play Trump. Baldwin did a great job, but I'll bet he'd be cool with a female replacement, knowing how much the pResident would hate that. Not sure who, though. I'd hate to insult anyone by suggesting.

[Dorian Gray]

60. Meryl Streep!

LOL

[Dorian Gray]

59. Andy Samberg

should come back to play that role.

[yodermon]

37. Problem is, and this has been bothering me, Bannon has no public "persona" or "affect" to mock

Unless I am just "out of it" (which is quite possible). I don't see Bannon giving public statements, appearances, interviews; I don't even know what his voice sounds like. So Rosie may do a bang-up job but it may just go over the heads of the general public.
Spicer obviously is out in front every day so McCarthy's send-up was hysterical.

[LuvLoogie]

40. I think you play him like The Big Lebowski's nihilist twin brother,

always in a robe, t-shirt, shorts and sandals, spewing manifestos while drunk on White Russians

[sarah FAILIN]

48. He is surprisingly soft-spoken

At least what I've heard. Like an almost peppy child molester sounding voice, Not too loud to avoid scaring the kiddies away, but creepy as hell.

[moonscape]

41. They should have someone else - T hates Rosie so much that's all he'd see. They

need someone to meld into Bannon's character without diverting with Rosie.

Uch - doesn't matter. He's not dumping Bannon. Bannon is the one who has T wrapped up in 'The Movement' fantasy - and Bannon knows where all the bodies are buried.

They're two outcasts who desperately need each other to exist.

[tenorly]

5. If so he should Rinse his Priebus.

He could definitely use it.

[Still In Wisconsin]

24. He might even yank his Priebus!

Sorry I couldn't help myself. Here in Wisconsin, where RP is from, we call him "Rinse Penis."

[tenorly]

38. He has to be the most laughably-named Chief of Staff since Missy Le Hand.

Who, as you may know, doubled as FDR's mistress.

The obvious difference being, of course, that while Trump is turning the White House into a racket, FDR was busy saving his nation from Andrew Mellon's "liquidate everyone" depression and the world from fascism.

I'd say FDR was entitled to a little, ahem, hand now and then.

[flamingdem]

44. I had to look up Ms Lehand

hahaha

[Still In Wisconsin]

45. Entitled, no doubt.

Considering what he accomplished, probably entitled to much more...

[DonCoquixote]

6. OK, Milo will get this job

you heard it here first

[HoneyBadger]

58. I could imagine that Milo has the connections

But his personal and professional life is a mess while being somewhat private. He may or may not be gay, an escort, a drag queen named Ivana Wall, rich with family wealth, married to a black man, with an adopted child, living in the UK. Not a great fit.

[tanyev]

9. And it begins.

[Glimmer of Hope]

10. Noo! I need more Melissa McCarthy.

[Kber]

18. Don't worry, grassshopper.

There will be other opportunities.

[yallerdawg]

11. Someone(s) seriously pissed off the folks at CNN!

What do they say about "payback"?

[NCjack]

12. Trump should assemble all of the assholes, and then

require Priebus to fire Spice, and then should fire Priebus. Use the chain-of-command.

[bucolic_frolic]

13. Congress is running with the conservative agenda

Trump White House is irrelevant, that was always the plan

Ryan, McConnell barely spoke to him, he is just their pen

[PSPS]

15. That's the situation in a nutshell.

[bucolic_frolic]

25. In fact this mean angry snarkiness may be just role playing

A CEO learns to growl at the right people and scare them into submission

[groundloop]

28. Sadly true.... we can snicker and snark all we want, but RW agenda is flying through Congress

and the illegitimate occupant of the White House will rubber stamp all of it, no questions asked.

[C_eh_N_eh_D_eh]

31. He's like an evil Zaphod Beeblebrox.

"The President's job (and if someone sufficiently vain and stupid is picked, he won't realize this) is not to wield power, but to draw attention away from it."

Of course, in a system where the President really does have a lot of power and autonomy, the whole scheme can quickly turn into a disaster. As we're seeing.

[world wide wally]

47. Sadly, all Republicans are of a single mind.

Why else would they all hate Obamacare for the same fictitious reason? It is like that on ever issue right down the line.
We will never hear a dissenting voice in the wilderness from a Republican.
It is a done deal.

[NRaleighLiberal]

14. watching them eat their own. Keep eating, Donald - mmm - Conjob looks tasty! And Gannon!

Maybe the Donald will just run through and destroy them all - and himself - in record time. (it won't be a second too soon)

[Glamrock]

16. He should!

Liar Spice is shit at that job.

[intheozone]

19. I thought Amarosa was Communications Director? nt

[truthisfreedom]

21. He rented a clown car

And now he's disappointed that they're obvious clowns.

But then, all of bush's advisors would have looked the same way if they were incessantly berated and expected to violate the constitution every five minutes.

[elleng]

22. Won't be the first or only.

'You're fired' is his line, right?

[JI7]

23. it mostly has to do with a woman playing him on snl

[TheCowsCameHome]

29. He hates that Spicer moonlights on SNL

Tuck Frump.

[wisteria]

30. Trump demands loyalty to himself, but he apparently Care little to show so w himself.

[Turbineguy]

36. Wanted:

New lying sack of shit.

Must be incompetent.

[briv1016]

43. I'm a little surprised that Spicer has lasted this long.

I still think that after the person that replaces Spicer quits, the White House will end the Daily Briefings.

[AKing]

46. HaHaHa...I'm actually starting to enjoy the Trump Residency

[qanda]

50. I'll take it that Baghdad Bob isn't available?

[safeinOhio]

51. The easiest and best target should be

KellyAnn. To piss him off the most, his daughter would make a great target also.

[democratisphere]

52. drumpf will start throwing.the people that were lying for him under the bus.

No one in their right mind would ever work for this psychopath.

[C_U_L8R]

54. It's said a poor craftsman blames his tools

Here we have a total tool blaming a total tool.

[jpak]

55. Noooo!!!111 We need Spicer for Teh Mockery

yup

[Kolesar]

61. Melissa McCarthy needs a paycheck

All ya gotta do is put up her picture from that sketch and I laugh

[Achilleaze]

57. America regrets letting the Russian-Republican cabal steal the election

...and then steal democracy, decency, and honesty.

[Javaman]

62. only takes responcibility if it's good, blames others for fuck ups.

typical of a psychopath

[roesch]

64. We need the character

Please don't fire him; we need his moving target and spin for late night shows.

[Demonaut]

66. CNN is courting spicer for a new job

[George II]

67. Maybe Melissa McCarthy will take the job?
