[–] blkvvvs@lemmy.zip [S] 7 points 3 weeks ago (2 children) Getting fired right after buying a house is fucking wild. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] schipelblorp@sh.itjust.works 5 points 3 weeks ago (1 child) Fortunately for her and her family, I don't think she got the chance. One of the criticisms was that it was only her third day on the job and she was woefully unprepared... usually they give press secretaries 2 weeks to get up to speed. But I guess she was blonde enough to go in front of the cameras, and really she only had an audience of one. Look at Hegseth's briefings, for instance: the guy is an obvious embarrassment, but you know Trump's eating it up. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 1 child comment replies: [–] blkvvvs@lemmy.zip [S] 6 points 3 weeks ago Exactly, Trump asked for her to be put there. I'm surprised they didn't let Natalie Harp have a crack at the job but I imagine she's too busy helping Trump all day long. permalink fedilink source parent
