The firings encompassed four staffers who were fired overnight, after the meeting, and two who were removed over the weekend. It created the extraordinary situation where Loomer appeared to have more influence than the national security adviser, Mike Waltz, over the NSC and undercut Waltz in having aides axed under him.
Loomer brought a booklet of papers laying out the perceived disloyalty of about a dozen staffers, including Waltz’s principal deputy, Alex Wong, to the meeting, which was also attended by JD Vance, the chief of staff Susie Wiles, the commerce secretary Howard Lutnick and Waltz himself.
The fired officials included Brian Walsh, the senior director for intelligence who previously worked for now secretary of state Marco Rubio on the Senate intelligence committee; Thomas Boodry, the senior director for legislative affairs who previously served as Waltz’s legislative director in Congress; and Maggie Dougherty, the senior director for international organizations, the people said.
I hate knowing that she’s just out there… Looming.
Russian Asset*
Just say Nazi.
Those must be really good blow jobs.
Or just the only ones he can get. I’m sure he can get them from EmptyG, or Boobert, or Big Booby Bondi, or Vance, or any rando MAGAbilly, but they’re all really gross, and probably crawling with all sorts of STDs, diseases, and parasites.
Must be the constant affirmation of “big penis”
So the knifes have come out. I wondered when the stabbings would begin. Expect a lot of changes in Trump’s inner circle from here on, it’s a constant fight for survival.
I’m taking bets.
“Activist” is a bit grandiose. I might go with “far-right conspiracist and video prankster Laura Loomer”
The silver lining is that these MAGA Nazi Retards (sorry, but a harsh word is required here) are too stupid to realize that all they are doing is giving their opposition the Gift of Competency.
As they gather all their sub-100 IQ loyalists in positions of leadership, the other side is benefitting by their brain drain. Surely, many of those intelligent government exiles are speaking to each other, and plans for a response are being considered.
In addition, there are still thousands of smart, competent, experienced people still in their job, who are proud of their agencies and their jobs. Most of those people are getting angrier by the day at what is happening to their colleagues and supervisors. If you have ever had a competent respected supervisor be replaced by an idiot, you know the frustration that literally every Federal worker is feeling.
Those people will be prime assets for leaks, malicious compliance, sabotage, etc.
MAGA will eventually be brought down by their own virtuosic incompetence.
Unfortunately they are going to bring us all down with them.
I don’t know how but it’s so mind boggling that she still has influence. She’s so absurdly crazy.
That’s an essential qualification in the Trump administration. Doing the opposite of what people expect you to do is a coping mechanism of sociopaths. If you look at it from that angle, a lot of what Trump is doing makes far more sense.
Oh yeah no doubt, they’re all on the stupid and evil spectrums. She’s just an outlier even in that sense to me.
how do the federal workers put up with this
What are you asking? If you get fired, you go find a different job or go on strike.
The US needs to add long-term contracts to all jobs so this shit can’t happen again, but most Americans don’t seem to realize how US labor law is shit.
americans are intentionally kept in the dark about how shit us labor law is
Not really. We know most other countries have PTO and vacation minimums. We’re just told that workers in other countries are lazy and incompetent.
Michigan just passed a new law requiring everyone working for a company with more that 50 employees to give their workers 72 hours of sick time per year. Someone I work with said (paraphrasing) “why do I want that, they’ll just take it out of my vacation time.”
No, they won’t. Not unless you let them. But, in a nonunion workplace there’s no real protection. We have to band together and tell the company they’re not allowed to take our vacation time. Then I’m stuck listening to how bad unions are by someone who’s never been in a union.
We know about all this other stuff, we’ve just been lied to about it our entire lives.
Need a full strike
