In other words, they are all morally bankrupt. Like a Trump casino.

nah, it's the otherway round. Republicans chose Trump because he embodies who they already were(plus: he said all the quiet parts loud).

I once worked for a really rich guy. He had a pet shark to do his dirty work. That's how they do it. I expect it's in the manual.

It's refreshing to hear about someone with the balls to actually stand up to these people trying to destroy an institution.

she is the lady trump

An entire nation is getting a graduate level education on hubris and what it guarantees.

Anxiety, insecurity, and a depraved lack of empathy are the hallmarks of the new fascists.

They can’t do it. It might kindle up some type of feeling? It’s easier to do male someone else do it or just let contracts go. The biggest childish wusses are in charge.

Lazy & self absorbed, more likely. Firing people isn’t fun, so you make someone else do it, and they can pick up your dry cleaning after.

I think she, like a lot of them, want to be liked but only superficially understand what that entails. They know firing people directly makes you not liked, but they seem to not understand that doing it indirectly is also bad if not worse

Rex Tillerson has some ideas

the thing about Bari is that deep down she is a “do I have the spoons to make this phone call” millennial blogger trying to bang with veteran reporters who approach conflict like the intro to Repo Man

The method of the firings reminds us that what happened on "The Apprentice," which is the foundation of Trump's national prominence, was made for TV B.S. Life is not a dramatically-scripted TV show, but here we are.

Hard to look someone in the eye and fire them when you know they'll look back at you with warranted disdain. It's cowardice, but it's also an admission.

It is rude if you say things I don't want to hear (this aligns perfectly w "I'm not a racist bc I'm not being a meanie")

Wasn't that the essence of his on-screen persona, though? Seriously ironic.

A guy at my gym this morning asked me what the controversy with 60 minutes was. I told him and he called Weiss a moderate and said she must be competent, she founded the FP. I just stared blankly in confusion for a bit.

i was surprised by this but in the article it says weiss wanted to be there, and her minions said she would just make things worse, lol that situation still reads as trump-like to me though

She has truly broken thru the glass ceiling of rampant mediocrity shooting to the top

I like to think of it as he is bird dogging the assholes in the country.

Trump did not remake conservatives. They elevated Trump to power. It's the other way around. They were always this horrible. You just didn't notice, but I sure as hell did.

Please, an we finally stop calling these people "conservative." Conservative don't want to blow everything up.

An entire movement selling the belief that their words are magic.

This! The entire country has been turned over to these people!

She's in way over her head. Even if she wanted to fire someone directly it's not like she has the time management skills to make that happen

Good 4 Scott Pelley! Someone has to push back against the horror that is ppl running authoritarian playbook to takeover and ruin one of the most respected and LOVED news programs in America. These creeps are worse than unprofessional- they’re cruel assholes. More ppl need to stand up and speak out!

"conservative", lol

They're lonely and want it to be illegal to not hang out with them.

The fact that people like this are rising to the top of mainstream news media is sickening, frightening, depressing and a grave threat to our nation.

Trump is too stupid to remake anything, he is just a money grifter and someone is pulling the strings. They give him some $ and he does their bidding. It’s imperative we find the puppeteer.
