Whoa…. Roger Stone as AG!

Da Fuq?

"TuCa as PressSec? That would be like..."

[Horace]

Citizens are going to tune into government like never before, this will be good. Let the exploding heads explode. That is part of the point.

Rumor - Bongino to run Secret Service.

That sounds like fanfic. Why would Bongino leave being the heir apparent for Rush to take a government service role like that?

I could see him advising, but not leaving his budding media gig.

Agreed. That's why I found the appointment of TuCa astonishing.

Well, one of the reasons...

I thought the same about TuCa.

A charitable reason is that TuCa thinks he can make a difference for the good in the position. A more cynical explanation is that TuCa recently started a company that sells nicotine pouches, which he's marketing with a political slant. His competitors are big contributors to Dem campaigns. I'm sure it's some of everything. But how much is he making on youtube and X anyway?

Press Secretary is a complete different level of prestige and such. Tucker can go back to his podcast stuff later (or even continue?) But being Press Secretary is a move up for him. For Bongino, that's a downward move.

Yeah. but Bongino bleeds Secret Service and he thinks it's in the dumper right now.

I don't think he'll take the job, but one of his best friends runs Trump's detail. He's the guy that's been screaming for two years that they weren't giving him adequate assets to cover Trump.

I think that Trump's detail guy is the favorite.

If there is any constant with US Admins us that Press Secretaries come and go with the seasons. That FuCa is there for now - to handle the first “nasty” opening rounds of the bout.

I'm surprised JKP has lasted this long.

OTOH, letting her go would have been a mistake.

Tucker's not strong enough for press secretary. I really would have preferred Shapiro...

Trump isn’t big on making people divest of their money-making activities while holding office.

Remember the table full of blank paper?

[Jolly]

Bongino has a top ten podcast, owns part of Rumble and has a nationally syndicated radio show.

He's not hurting...

Whoa...TuCa as PressSec.

I'd prefer TuCo, but TuCa would be a fun pick.

FYI I think the TuCa news is fake

I also enjoyed the "despite being a journalist he's a patriot" LOL
