You’re Fired!
A few weeks ago, Kimberly Strassel of the Wall Street Journal noted that in spite of multiple examples of incompetence and non-performance in the Biden Administration, Joe Biden hasn’t fired anyone. Since it’s been reported that he has 560 people in the Executive Office, he certainly has plenty of people to choose from. So I have to wonder, after almost two years, is there no one he’d like to replace with somebody more knowledgeable and competent in any position?
Having the same staff in place after all this time is a mystery to me. Does Biden think his people are more talented than the rest of us who see how disastrous their performance is? Is there a secret prohibition against letting people go? Does he think firing someone will make him “look bad?” (Is there a way he could look any worse than he does?) Or did he demand that everyone needed to take a loyalty oath when they were hired that would guarantee them lifetime federal government employment?
More than that, why would people want to stick around with his crashing ratings in the polls? Are people threatening to quit and people in the Executive Office forbidding them to do so?
Or maybe there is a Progressive in the shadows who decides who leaves and who stays. Maybe that person takes his or her direction from George Soros. Maybe Soros has had to bribe them all to stay.
Who would you fire first if you had the power to do it (and no cheating and picking Biden)? My top pick would be Mayorkas, DHS Director.
Do you have any theories on the reasons that no one has been fired? Doesn’t it seem odd to you, too?

Agree WI but we need to get practical. Trump will set off the MSM like we have never seen before. DeSantis has been kicking their ass for over year. DeSantis v. Newsome? 1972 here we come!
Great nominations for the top dishonorable discharge…
Mayorkus, Garland, Yellen, Blinken…
What an unlikely collection of names … Its like he’s picked the group that would cause the most editors spelling errors…
I think it would be perfectly reasonable to call a cabinet meeting and say you’re all fired…
But I think I have to go with Granholm… Secretary of Energy.
She’s done the most to show Americans that not only does this administration not feel your pain of inflation, but dont care:
She’ll have to be replaced with someone with some energy experience and knowledge (not from the environmental movement) who’s actually interested in producing oil again…. Is Rick Perry busy?
Gay Pete has to go too…
They are subjected to the same process. The point is we can’t survive centralization. If those who replace them are fighting to stay they’ll do less harm and the Chinese will not own them.

The top brass that miss handled Afghanistan should have been shown the door
the Economic advisors who pushed “Modern Monetary Spending” after coming out of a government created shutdown should be fired
Those who pushed killing US energy production – same
I agree with all three. And we are still suffering under all three. Even Afghanistan continues to tarnish our credibility in the world; some are still pushing the inanity of MMS; and so many people will continue to suffer under the energy rulings. It’s all unconscionable.
We must presume that the Biden team must have “binders” full of folks ready to take their places.
They’ve been queueing up since the end of the Obama administration, at least.
He’s certainly not going to fire corrupt folks, they’re good for dozens of votes each and do what they’re told. We just don’t know who tells them, If there are honest folks working for him, what’s the point, they have no power and they’re good for at least one vote.
At least one vote from each address where they have ever lived.
You left out the surgeon general with the psychotic break thing going strong.
Himself.
Works for me!
