Place your bets, who will be the first to bail out of the Motherfucker Krasnov maladministration?

I'm thinking his sidelined Chief of Staff, Susie Wiles. She's probably tired of being a fucking potted plant constantly being shit in by Motherfucker.

1. It might be a matter of which one stops clapping first after Dear Leader speaks.

After Joseph Stalin gave his speech at a conference for the Communist Party in 1937, the audience exploded into applause. Everyone in the room leaped to their feet and began to clap wildly. Some seemed to be in a contest of who could stand and clap the fastest.

Yet, the big question soon came: who would have the nerve to stop clapping first? After a few minutes, nobody showed the courage to stop, and so the applause went on. The clapping continued nonstop for eleven minutes.

Finally, one man had enough and stopped clapping. As soon as he sat down, the frenzied audience also quieted down. Soon, the room was completely silent.

Later that night, the man who stopped clapping first was arrested and sentenced to ten years in prison. Authorities reportedly told him “don’t ever be the first one to stop clapping!“

As much as he tries to emulate his "heroes," he still comes off like a doddering, pants shitting fuckwit.

or maybe afraid not to. Marco Rubio would probably accept the position of Groom of the Stool if he hasn't already. https://www.historic-uk.com/HistoryUK/HistoryofBritain/Groom-of-the-Stool/ God only knows what he demands of Gulag Barbie Noem and Mistress Bondi, both of whom resemble latex party dolls kept in storage too long.

They're complete losers. That leaves actual people like Bessent. But I think he is there to work for Wall Street and try to right the ship. It isnt working and I think he tosses in the towel if tariffs go up again.

Rubio is an outsider who probably doesn't want to go down with this ship.

But the first to bail appears to be Musk. At least, that is what he says.

I look for Sec of Treasury Bessent to go soon.

From his public appearances, he knows Trump's policies are ridiculous and that he is working in a madhouse. He seems embarrassed to be there and looks uncomfortable pushing the "Dear Leader" Party line.

He will be a scapegoat if he doesn't go.
