a position for which he is completely unqualified.

Was capable of shame.

is a Trump administration requirement.

. . . relieve the stress from his heavy workload.

Right?

Imposter syndrome on steroids.

when drinking. He sounds like a long time alcoholic.

They'll find his pickled carcass under a table in some jive-ass dump, covered in used peanut shells and bar filth.

isn't there.

but the rest of the room is actually nice.

Decor a la Epstein

edited to correct spelling

I'd say he's doing it well.

...will never not be hilarious.

It is amazing that this cabinet is more incompetent than the previous one.

Being in the Trump orbit would cause anyone to drink excessively. Except for Whiskey Pete. That's his normal state. He was thoroughly sloshed long before the became Sec War.

Look for a dumpster fire.

inability to manage money ---- He always needs more.

That's the sure sign he needs "the group talk"...

"I was walking through the Parking Lot...
...of an Invisible Seven-11"...

He's in rehab, drying out somewhere.

It has been my experience that people that drink usually fall into 1 of 2 categories.

Happy drunk vs Aggressive hateful drunk.

I wonder what he is? I should make a survey.....

And I'd not be surprised to find out he would stay sober long enough for Cabinet Meetings, then get hammered before heading back to the office when all he'd have to worry about would be a pop-up press meeting.
Not a good look.

is a rough habit to break. So much for Trump's vetting process.

To date, Trump's initial staff have been terrible, and/or no longer work for the government.

but seriously, it does take work.

most people who just drink usually know when to stop, unlike bug-eyes.

Kash, or Pete?

his staff certainly has its share of drunks. I guess that goes along with their general incompetence.

On the right.

Sarah Fitzpatrick, staff writer for The Atlantic, talks with Jen Psaki about her new reporting about a bizarre freak-out by FBI director Kash Patel when he thought being unable to log into his work computer meant he'd been fired by Donald Trump, and episodes of excessive drinking that alarmed his FBI colleagues.

He'll show up when he's slept it off.

Seems everyone in the pedo Trump administration is on some kind of drug. You can't be Fascist scum without something to numb your brain. Wasn't most everyone in the Nazi regime high on drugs too?

"Folks in the old country" Nobody can stand up to the "Don".

I don't know about the Fuhrer's generals, but he was high as a kite.

Luvs to par-tay!

criticize Democrats as "tax and spend" or wasting taxpayer monies. These freakin' people are draining our treasury for their own personal greed and lifestyles while cutting necessities for people who need help.

I am so furious I could spit nails! Where's the accountability for the massive amount of money they spend on their little junkets and playthings?

Years ago, when I worked in law firms in Wash DC, one would hear the rumors "well, you know she drinks a lot" etc - when you noticed a firm partner suddenly left the firm. No matter why they left that was the standard thing you'd hear from the rumor mill.

I'd expect an announcement soon about resigning or being fired. I actually thought they'd get rid of Hegseth first, but I guess it will be Patel.
