  1. I’m trying really hard, but I can’t think of a weaker person he could’ve chosen except maybe Ben Carson. I literally burst out laughing when I saw the headline. This guy…

    Ah, the hatchet man.

    Only a crazy evil man like Mulveney would take the job, and then only as “interim” given that he has a job to go back to. Says it all about how afraid anyone is to work for †Я☭mp at this point. Putting up with his shit, getting fired via twitter, then being indicted and going to jail, all the kind of things people want in a job.

    He hires only the best!

    God, this is pathetic. We’ll let you have Attu, prosecution-free, if you just go away. You can’t do the job and everybody hates you and nobody will work for you.

  5. Did he accept before tRump announced this? Too bad if he really found someone that is crazier than he is to work for him.
