Which Trump administration flunky are you happiest to see leave?
Saturday was trash day in America. The voters decided it was time to throw out the garbage. All of it in those green trash cans; nothing in the blue recycling bins. The garbage is now on the curb waiting to be picked up. Sadly, the trucks are running late and won't arrive until January. Better late than never....much better.
While Donald Trump exiting the White House makes seventy-five million of us happy; the consequences of elections makes his loss even better. Not only will Trump leave Washington, so will his family plus the members of his administration. Almost all of them were complicit in enabling the behavior and horrific policies of the last four years.
Today's question: Which one of his sycophants are you happiest to see leave?
Your answer will probably depend on how each of these fools affected your life.
It's easy to start with our lame-duck Vice-President Mike Pence. He would usually make the top of my list if only because of his constant public sucking up to Trump. It makes my skin crawl every time he says "due to the leadership of this President." I'm shaking just typing that phrase. But he's doubled down due to his supposed leadership as the head of the Coronavirus Task Force. His leadership has led to more than two hundred forty thousand Americans dying. Excellent job, Mike. He's continuing to do yeoman's work by heading on a week-long vacation to Florida. Actually, that's not really a bad thing. We're safer when Mike is on vacation.
Our next candidate is Secretary of Education Betsy DuVos. Every teacher and educator that I know is appalled by how she has led the department. Every parent of a public school child that I know is appalled by how she has led the department. If Betsy had her way, and another four years, the changes made to public schools would have lasted for decades. The good news is she has only seventy or so days to do more damage. She only has seventy or so more days to use her position to make money for her family...of course, we can say that for all of this administration.
My third candidate for lifetime banishment is Attorney General Bill Barr. Oh man, where to begin with this guy? We can start with his handling of the Mueller Report. Next is how he has tried to dismiss the charges against Mike Flynn, objected to sentence recommendations against Roger Stone and tried to have Michael Cohen sent back to prison during a pandemic for not signing a release stating that Cohen would not write a book. Then, and there's always a next or then with these people, is his firing of prosecutors and other career justice employees. Finally, how can we forget that Bill Barr was the one who called for tear-gassing peaceful protestors so his boss could have a photo op at a church? Normally, all of this would make Barr the winner, but he's been laying low the last month. He pissed off Trump by not arresting Biden, both Joe and Hunter, Obama and Hillary as an October election surprise. I hate to give him points for acting like a decent human being, but in this administration, that's an unusual trait.
Finally, there's Senior Advisor to the President, Stephen Miller. He's in charge of the administration's immigration policy, if you can call what they have a policy. Every time I hear him spout his anti-whoever ideas, I feel like I need to take a shower. The Muslim ban is Stephen Miller. The Wall is Stephen Miller. Separating families at the border is Stephen Miller. Those five hundred children in cages who most likely will never see their parents again is STEPHEN FUCKING MILLER!!!! There's going to be a special place in Hell for this guy.
Yeah, I know you're thinking, "what about Melania, Ivanka, Jared, Eric, Don Jr. and Rudy?" Yeah, I know...I hate them, too. But, they're going back to obscurity and irrelevance. That's what every single one of them deserves.
So who is my choice? It has to be Miller. After all, he's the only one I typed in bold and with an obscenity. But just so the other Trump administration flunkies don't feel bad, fuck all of you, too. Let's raise our glasses in a toast to them....here's to never seeing any of you again! Cheers!
