There are many valid reasons to think this is a drop in an evil bucket and it changes nothing, but dear reader, it's ok to enjoy the misfortune of bad people for a little while. Give yourself that.

Some in Trump’s inner circle had long been upset over Bondi’s handling of the Epstein files, believing her pronouncements on the matter helped drive the impression the administration was inappropriately holding back materials from public view.
Not that I feel bad for her, but the job from day 1 was impossible.
It's depressing that the only firings / only people seeing consequences for being in the admin, are from DJT, instead of the people or any representatives being able to rid themselves of these people.
She appears to be the only one in this administration that has faced any repercussions over the Epstein Files. Not for the crimes, of course, that would be unreasonable. Simply for insufficient...
She appears to be the only one in this administration that has faced any repercussions over the Epstein Files. Not for the crimes, of course, that would be unreasonable. Simply for insufficient discretion and ability in hiding them from public view and failing to "properly" protect the administration.
She's been sacked for not protecting the known child rapist in the White House enough. I'm confused why people are celebrating. Do people think the Pedophile-in-Chief is going to put someone in...

Do people think the Pedophile-in-Chief is going to put someone in place that does a worse job and releases more info?
It's like Kristi Noem. We know the next person also sucks, possibly more. But we're taking our moment of "Yay, someone who sucks got fired" first. Then you move on to the next fight.

Any leadership change causes delays, cancellations, and unknowing fear for any and all employees and projects in the works.
It's the unknowing that is sort of interesting, because if they are already going through another change one year in, do you take the time, effort, and commitment to work on things that might be changed late in the process now or later? If one person at the top changes, all loyalties, comforts, and current personal networks have to be rebuilt.
It's basically a top-down self-inflicted "go-slow" passive protest that everyone (for/against) are now a party to by default. This transition will likely set them back months, and they just lost an incredible amount of morale. It's wonderful.

The MAGA rationale causes the firings. They get mad at staff, and at some point Trump fires them mostly to satiate his fanbase. Kristi only got sacked once the murders were so bad that MAGA couldn't defend it. Likewise, Bondi was under a lot of heat for not doing enough about the Epstien files.
Now, does MAGA ever trace the common link here? No, they are still Trump's fanbase. The first term admin had ridiculous turnover, but they stayed faithful to the one that these staff were fleeing from.

Every once in a while I venture onto r/conservative to see the reaction to something. There was a post about Pam Bondi right after the announcement of her firing and most of the top comments were very critical of her and happy to see her fired. A frequent topic was her handling of the Epstein files. There were very few posts critical of Trump for hiring her or directing her to suppress the files or for being the most prominent customer/partner of Epstein in the files. Somehow they think there’s evidence of criminal activity there but magically not by Trump. Or maybe they don’t think anything at all.
One can only get slight insights from browsing that subreddit because it is highly curated to present a certain narrative and certainly overrun with bots and other malignant actors. But sometimes on an early post you can see a little glimpse of the cognitive dissonance going on in a Trump supporter’s head.

Except when the bad things are intensified due to the disarray...
It's a sign of infighting and Trump's unhappiness. That is worth celebrating
As I said when Noem got fired:
lol
Lmao even

She's getting a lot of flak for that, but I think she would've pulled it off of the Dow hit 60,000.
... or at the very least stayed at 50,000, and not just immediately going for a "swim" and diving deeper and deeper into the abyss ever since.

Well put!
Oh wow, another woman taking the brunt of the fallout for this administration.
Noise, but I just have to show schadenfreude
Huh, I wonder who’s the washed-up lawyer now?
To be replaced with Deputy Attorney General Todd Blanche
Does anyone know what the MAGA rationale is on why Trump fires so many people? Do they ever stop to consider it?

Firing people has been part of Trump’s image for a while now.
"You're fired" was his catchphrase on The Apprentice. He built a whole brand around it.
What a fun and wholesome brand! Let’s put him in charge of everything!
