And surely Ka$h Patel will be next. Trump hates people who can't handle their liquor, and The Atlantic story about Patel being passed out drunk hold up in his office surely caught Trump's eye. Patel has sued The Atlantic for $250 million, but that won't end well if The Atlantic doesn't settle, and I doubt they will. Trump will likely jettison Patel before the lawsuit gets much further.

at the risk of using logic, kash or pete depends on which is more durable sacrifice for MAGA entertainment.

in reality, it could be either drunkfriending trump sporting distillery sweat minus breathmints.

my guess : saving pete for some unspinnable (even to the gop) iran fiasco event.

You can probably expect the replacement will be a white, male, Christian.

Same goes for whoever replaces Patel.

and The Atlantic story about Patel being passed out drunk hold up in his office surely caught Trump's eye.

Ever work in a really toxic office environment? I have. The Atlantic article relies entirely on "anonymous" sources. That has a strong smell of an office whispering campaign to force someone out: the big dog decides he doesn't like someone, so the word gets spread around, for everyone else to fall in line, and be down on the target person.
