That's super odd then to have the news go public if he had no intention to submit it.
Wouldn't that be career suicide?
Wow so alpha male firing someone over Twitter what a cowardly pussy. I wonder if loser boy grabs himself when he fires someone over Twitter.
I may be incorrect on that last part in case I just missed the news. But not necessarily "career" suicide, just leaving the sinking ship.
Depends on which career we are talking about.
If he want to go back to his job as a VP in Raytheon (or just generally go back to the world of weapon makers and defense contractors) it's probably a good career move.
Companies like Raytheon play both parties, and making it look like he was an enemy of Trump rather than his enabler would probably help him.
Can't help but be curious about Christopher Miller and why he in particular was chosen. Looks like he was unanimously confirmed to his previous position by the senate earlier in August.
No. It's normal for all cabinet members to tender their resignation to the President-elect upon completion of his term, whether he's the incumbent or not. People reported specifically on Esper because Trump made it no secret that he was on the chopping block.
I mean...maybe lol. Biden's picks could easily be blocked so who knows
Make it so nothing criminal can be traced back to him when he leaves, intentionally botch the transition handoff, or hope they get a few extra months if the Senate plays games with Biden's appointments.
Just do what Trump does, have acting Secretaries and such. McConnell wants to be a bitch, we can play that game too.
Someone already explained earlier that you have to do that with someone who has been confirmed by the Senate for another position. Not sure if that's 100% accurate, though
I'm sure Biden's advisors are going over all the possibilities.
She wouldn't take it. Guys, you can't force someone into your cabinet.
PLEASE, also maybe they can give one to Dianne Feinstein I know she's a Dem but she's gotta go.
The best chance would be Pat Toomey of PA, he already announced retirement in 2022 and we have a dem governor there. He also agreed yesterday that it was the right call to announce Biden had won but all votes should still be counted. Something few GOP members have done so far. Still think it's a long shot though.

On noon of January 20th he will no longer be their commander in chief. Zero chance the military brass commit literal treason for a man who has continually ignored their advice, insulted them and used them as props when he saw fit.
I'm guessing he fires everyone who had written a letter of resignation after the election, thinking them disloyal.
Kentucky has a Dem governor (which would make it extra nice if McConnell died)
Honestly I clearly didn't check but that's astonishing about KY.
Could go either way, planning a coup on behalf of Trump or ditching Trump.

Exclusive: Esper, on his way out, says he was no yes man
Defense Secretary Mark Esper called Military Times for a lengthy discussion of his time in office.

The state hated Bevin, and we've only had two single term Republican governors since 1971. But right now every other position is R and the state congress is super majority R.
