1. I hate to hear this.

I was fine with him staying on

[panader0]

2. Is this the end of Death Star?

Stay tuned.....

[JHB]

41. With Tarkin himself putting those torpedoes down the exhaust port

[calguy]

3. He was doing such a fine job.......

for US!

[Music Man]

4. Is that what the article says, though? "Planning to step down" is a slight difference.

I can't find this reporting anywhere else. It may be true, but I am not sure by this Tweet/article. This article was published earlier today, and I've not seen any developments on it.

[doublethink]

6. Time will tell .. n/t.

[Generic Brad]

11. Jarvanka had to be the leak on this

The cowards don’t have the balls to fire Brad in person, so they anonymously pulled a Bill Barr and got the message to him in a roundabout way. Vanity Fair sounds like Ivanka's speed.

[Ilsa]

18. I'm surprised they didn't use The Daily Stormer to get

the message out to Parscale.

[Hortensis]

43. Lol. That'd suggest out of Steve Miller's clique. Jarvanka

does sound very credible, though Vanity Fair's extremely well connected in that administration.

[BigmanPigman]

5. I thought he had too much dirt on team tRump for him to be fired.

[Mopar151]

20. They'll still pay him bank....

"Termination Fees" is so much nicer than extortion and blackmail, don't you think?

[Cha]

7. Yeah Brad was doing a super duper job

for Democracy!

Who's the next to "shit the bed"?

[SheltieLover]

13. 🤣🤣🤣

Good one!

[Mme. Defarge]

14. Depends...

[calimary]

35. Oh geez...

[Renew Deal]

8. "Jared antagonists" means Lewandowski is coming back.

[Mopar151]

21. As we say in NH

Number`n a hardwood plank.

Ain't got the brains God gave a goose!

[pazzyanne]

32. Please don't trash the intelligence of geese.

"The goose is one of the most intelligent birds. It has a good memory and does not forget people, animals or situations easily which is what makes it such a good watch animal against intruders whether human or animal. Geese do not normally exhibit pecking or cannibalism and usually live harmoniously among themselves and with other creatures."

Putting them in the same category as republicans does them such a disservice. Thank you for supporting geese.

[Laura PourMeADrink]

23. Hope not

[Kid Berwyn]

9. See ya in court.

Oh. And remember to bring both sets of keys to the Ferrari.

[uponit7771]

15. +1

[LizBeth]

10. Whoever is put in is going to be at least as bad, not have Trump trust, Trump will override being

his loser self. May be interesting.

[Under The Radar]

12. Can he keep the Ferrari?

[leftieNanner]

19. Did he pay cash?

Cause if not, the payments will be brutal.

[calimary]

36. And the yacht...

[GulfCoast66]

16. Rearranging the deck chairs on the Titanic.

The Captain is the one driving the ship into the iceberg.

[herding cats]

17. The "website guy" is gone?

I never saw this coming. 🤣🤣

[Laura PourMeADrink]

22. Don't care what party... A mgr who mis-predicts crowd by 993k

should step down. Hope no one good replaces him.

[ProfessorGAC]

34. Worse Than That, LPMD!

The embarrassment could have been mitigated by just shutting up.
He was the one who started bragging about 800, 900 thousand requests.
He shuts up, rally has 6,200 people, they say "Not a bad turnout in a pandemic.". Story is over.
But, they talked about the other building, overflow stages, two sets of speeches...
He not only mis-predicted, he is the one that CREATED the PR disaster.

[Laura PourMeADrink]

37. Very true! Wonder too about venue selection. Of course

That could be Dipshit's doing. Can hear him now saying, "hell no, the elementary school auditorium won't do! Get me the biggest gd place in Tulsa ". If they hadn't bragged about everything you said, the empty seats still would have been mentioned?

The fact that staffers and SS tested positive is a big deal too. But it just exemplifies how one test just isn't enough.

[Hortensis]

42. :) You're right any way you look it, although Trump always

insists on claiming a million or whatever else equates to The Big Lie. Of course, that no one dares, or bothers anymore, to try to tell him the truth, and that he's surrounded himself with degenerates who're also indifferent to truth and honor, is ALSO Trump's doing.

Not to worry about replacing him with someone good. When have they ever done that? Nearly 4 years in, I'm still astonished at the level and extent of their massive depravity and incompetence.

[Laura PourMeADrink]

44. So true! He believes HE alone is the only one who knows what's best.

And he has the flaw that he never reneges or backs down. He double downs.

I think he had a window of time when he could have turned things around AND helped save lives. If he unilaterally condoned mask wearing. And then showed with stats that it worked. Wonder if anyone tried to convince him?

[Hortensis]

45. Laura, I believe the entire refusal to contain, and subsequent refusal

to mitigate by senate Republicans, was deliberate in their branch, carried out by Trump in his. The senate Republicans' refusal and blocking of action is documented beyond any denial. Why is not. What prods and pokes from senate Republicans might have been done to discourage Trump from doing anything right will hopefully come out in the investigations.

But Trump has always had his own RW extremist and white supremacist ass-whisperers and was connected with their toxic sort long before he was maneuvered into power. Massive national disruption serves all their purposes, including those Republicans who've learned they can't win if democracy continues.

Fauci and all the others who desperately tried to persuade them to act never had a chance.

Remembered this OP is about Parscale, so I hope he ends up in prison for as many years as a vengeful Trump family and honest DoJ can manage. Or, a lot less likely but even better, gets SARS-2 neuro infection and spends his days strapped to a wheelchair planted in front of a TV.

[mackdaddy]

24. Go On Take the money and Run!

Brad seems to have made sure HE was paid up front!

[rusty quoin]

25. Does anyone have a comprehensive list of

the firings, step downs, and other ways people have left this administration? It’s got to be a record.

[flibbitygiblets]

29. Rachel used to have one about a year ago, but her board ran out of room

[Laura PourMeADrink]

38. Here you go. 415 people as of May 25, 2020

[Grokenstein]

26. "Brad Really S--t the Bed Saturday Night"

And Don-Don was mad because that's his Saturday Night special activity.

(It's the real reason they call him "Two Scoops"--just ask the maids.)

Anyway, looking forward to Brad's upcoming tell-all (or disappearance, whichever comes first). But who's going to be the new paymaster to the in-laws?

[herding cats]

27. I know people who know him.

They're gonna weep dearly their Texas icon of Trump success has fallen.

Which, makes me happy.

On edit: it also makes me sad we're experiencing a massive COVID-19 spike here and I can't go and taunt them over this event.

[flibbitygiblets]

28. It would be funny if Parscale responded that he has no intention of stepping down

But only the good guys do that, so prolly not.

[Captain Zero]

30. bye bye to all the toys and cash from campaign slush funds, Brad

turn in all your keys at the end of the week, buddy. haha.

[Dopers_Greed]

31. Bwahahahaha

Maybe Kushner will have this added to his duty list

[soothsayer]

33. Says who? Barr?

Ha.

I hope he doesn’t. He’s doing swell grifting the grifters.

[Mr. Ected]

39. Yielding to whom, then? How many damn campaign managers has Trump employed since 2016?

Mind you, he began his re-election campaign in the second sentence of his inaugural speech, if I'm not mistaken.

[MoonRiver]

40. Replacing everybody in his campaign won't change the fact that he's a LOSER.
