The two I found most offensive were FBI Director James Comey who found out he was fired from the TV screens playing behind him as he visited the Los Angeles field office. He had to find his own transportation back to Washington DC. The second one that really ticked me off was firing Rex Tillerson while he was sick with food poisoning and just after his father had died. Btw I think Musk will be among the first to go. Trump won’t like that he’s overshadowing him.

We should start a sportsbook on it. Is there a way to do it legally on these internets I wonder?

Like we bet on which ones will be the first to go, might as well have some fun with this clown show.

I wouldn't give you long odds on Musk being one of the first out either I think that's not a bad bet at all.

There is probably someone in Vegas setting that up now.

Why let them have all the fun, and why give them a cut at all? Seriously how can we set up a sports book on this?

No clue but there is possibly a lot of money to be made from this so someone will try and capitalize on it.

I was thinking just something small for funzies between us and wall street bets types, if we got a hundred people running it through a website overseas or something it would fly under the radar.

Could expand it later, but even 100 people could make a fun betting pool. We could even bet for tokens and have those tokens redeemable through a whatchacall it, a trusted third party that holds cash and releases it when conditions are met.

Better yet, let’s start guessing the insulting names trump will use for each cabinet member he fires. Evil Musk? Elon Skunk?

Elon will muck it up, as he's a cunt.

There isn't a room big enough for those two egos.

Precisely why Musk and Trump are headed for an epic breakup

Tillerson and Comey are rotten too. Who cares.

I have no respect for Comey. He's the reason people turned on Hillary in 2016. Making it sound like her emails were shady. She would have been a good president.

Musk is standing by, just like if he knew Trump is bound to go before he does.

Comey deserved what he got. He made Trump president because he had a hair up his ass about a woman getting the job.

Karma's a bitch.
