With three Cabinet members ousted by Donald Trump since March 5, a handful of Republican senators are growing anxious for several reasons that the firing hammer is about to drop on more, in part because the president is in a “bad mood” with his administration flailing.

According to a report from Politico’s Jordain Carney, four GOP lawmakers are anticipating a purge in part because the midterms are coming up and, should the GOP lose control of the Senate, confirmation hearings under a Democratic majority would be problematic at best. Add to that, Trump appears to be in a firing mood.

The timeline is becoming critical. Labor Secretary Lori Chavez-DeRemer's departure this week follows Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem and Attorney General Pam Bondi out the door — a pattern that has GOP lawmakers reconsidering the Senate's already compressed legislative calendar.

Senate Republicans face an impossible arithmetic. "The number of working days are very limited," Sen. Thom Tillis (R-NC) said. "You just do the math. It's a very compressed schedule."

1. Good!

2. We are on the apprentice.

[2naSalit]

3. Well...

There are still a couple more women to go so...


There's that traitor, gabbard and judge winebox. Sure hope krash patel and kegsbreath are out soon. Another to watch is that ratcliffe fucker, he needs to fall out a window or down a manhole or something.

[LisaL]

5. If we were in Russia, they'd be falling out wndows.

8. It's just a matter of time before...

he adopts this method of removal.

[usonian]

22. Falling down stairs.

25. And you just know that plot...

contains more than her cremated remains.

18. They'd be piling up on the sidewalk below.

6. From the Politico artice: 3 think Lutnick will go, 1 says Gabbard

2 point to Patel, though he's not actually a cabinet member.

4. Has he ever been in a good mood?

[dem4decades]

7. He looked pretty happy when he was with Epstein.

You know, the clip with them both laughing and looking at who knows what.

[sop]

27. It's probably the only time he looked genuinely happy.

[tanyev]

9. Pull their replacements from your loyal toadies in the House and Senate, Sir!

[Katcat]

20. Excellent idea!

Start with Graham and cruz

[Baitball Blogger]

10. The fact that he hired incompetent people makes this part of the job easy for him.

And it is the best, most beautiful part of the job. "You're fired!" It makes his supporters feel like he's a big powerful macho man.

[multigraincracker]

11. It is very hard to hire and keep

competent ass kissers. This is going to take a lot of time, like forever.

[ProudMNDemocrat]

12. Work days next year will INCREASE in both chambers..

Of which the MAGAts three will complain about.

Actually earning their pay will mean that they actually have to WORK for it. Rest assured, Hakeem Jeffries will insist on less vacations and more work on behalf of the American people that they SHOULD be representing. Unlike Mike Johnson, Hakeem Jeffries will be the new Sheriff in town and the rules will be enforced.

Suck it up, Buttercups!

[Random Boomer]

13. Corporate America has a solution for that

It's called mandatory overtime.

[BattleRow]

14. New sheriff in town..

Blazing Saddles redux...
Get the popcorn!

[DFW]

15. By the time he gets around to it in earnest

Will there be anyone left to fire?

[twodogsbarking]

16. Raiding the liquor cabinet.

[ChicagoTeamster]

17. Spring Cleaning!! Hopefully Ka$h and Hegseth are out by May 1st. And, Karoline stays home after her maternity leave.

[TBF]

19. He should start with himself. nt

[MissouriDem47]

21. No Matter Who He Fires

It's not going to change the results of the midterm elections.

[City Lights]

23. If he wants to get to the bottom of what caused his "bad mood,"

he should fire himself first!

[usonian]

24. "Whack a Cabinet Member" never looks good.

But he's on a spree.



Do people care? Or is it just theatrics?

You DO know the reason for his discontent ...

[RockRaven]

26. Unsurprisingly, his first targets were the women.

Some of the generally worthless DC press could make themselves useful and ask him if he regrets listening to Kegsbreath's advice about the Iran war.

[bucolic_frolic]

28. They put too many l's in "failing" /nt

[Blue Owl]

29. Things that make tRump happy: Firing, killing, raping, molesting, taunting, stealing, cheating, destroying

Did I miss any?

"It's a Good Life" Everyone must please little Billy Mumy or be "wished" away into the corn field as a toy jack-in-the-box or whatever he deems.

[vapor2]

31. Let's all make a list

Start with hegsbreath, Patel, rfk jr, tulsi, wine box, blanche..............
please continue fellow du folks

[Walleye]

32. Maybe he can just "order" them all to be less incompetent

[jmowreader]

33. The only surprising thing is it's taken him this long to get started

By this point in his last administration he'd fired so many of his Cabinet secretaries the Potomac Electric Power Company had installed a generator head on the revolving door and wired it into the grid.

[FakeNoose]

34. I really can't believe he has waited this long

In Chump's first term, he was firing staffers almost every week. Now he's well into the 2nd year of his 2nd term, and he's just getting started, but these losers so richly deserve to be fired.

Please start with RFK, Jr. PLEASE!

[Multichromatic]

35. It's Scaramucci Time... lol 😆

[underpants]

36. Who replaces this 3rd string JV team? Are they going to dress out the band?

Start pulling kids from the stands?

(High school football reference)

[aggiesal]

37. When you vote for a clown, you get the circus he/she comes with. n/t

[Javaman]

38. those fired are probably expressing relief LOL

soon, there will be only him.
