  1. > Her resignation was not announced by Trump, who delivered news of his removal of Pam Bondi and Kristi Noem. Instead, the announcement came from White House Assistant Director of Communications Steven Cheung.

    Harsh.

    >Donald Trump’s Labor Secretary Lori Chavez-DeRemer has resigned in the wake of allegations of misconduct in office, marking the third high-profile departure from the president’s administration within recent weeks.

    >Inquiries into complaints about her leadership have also forced out several other officials within the nation’s labor agency, including her former chief of staff and deputy chief of staff, among others.

    >She also is the subject of civil rights complaints filed staff members who have alleged a hostile work environment under her leadership.

    Imagine being so bad, that even this administration doesn’t want you 🙂

    Maybe it would just be easier at this point to list those who are *not* alcoholics.

  4. Trump didn’t want to announce yet another woman being fired, so he made a funky do it instead.

  5. Being a person of low character is a pre-requisite for working for this administration, or being part of MAGA generally. The only surprise is that she is leaving.

  6. Everyone around Trump drinks to excess so that in the eventual trials they can claim they don’t recall due to heavy drinking.

    I would rather be governed by 25 randoms from the phone book than the people Trump picks.

  8. >Her husband also has been accused of sexually assaulting Department of Labor employees, resulting in his alleged ban from department buildings. Shawn DeRemer told The Wall Street Journal that he “categorically” denied the allegations.

    >The investigation also allegedly uncovered evidence that she took agency staff to a strip club during a taxpayer-funded work trip, and text messages reviewed by The New York Times allege Chavez-DeRemer, her top aides and family members routinely requested young staff members to bring them wine during work trips for the department.

    We have a fucking circus running this country

  9. Recommend reading the article because oh boy the headline undersells all the shit her, her husband and even father managed to get up to in just over a year. Horrid people.

    Sounds more like it was reports of drinking and misconduct and being a woman. Just look at the FBI director and Secretary of War, and see what is the difference.

    Remember zero scandals during 8 years of Obama? Fire all these republicans. They suck at this

    Notably, another woman. Meanwhile, Pete Hegseth is still there. If controversy is the main criteria, Hegseth should have been booted ages ago.
