Hope Hicks resigns as White House communications director

quote [ The resignation comes one day after Hicks testified before the House intelligence committee for nine hours as part of the Russia investigation ]

Can someone parse this for me? She was grilled for 9 hours about Russia ... then resigned a from job she was good at, a job she was personally appointed to by a President she was 100% loyal to.

So was it a "I can't take the stress of having to lie about this anymore - testifying before government investigative committees wasn't what I signed up for." kind of thing, or what?

Just going to leave these two absolutely, completely, totally unrelated articles here.

There is nothing to see here citizens.

Please, go about your daily routine.

I'm hearing rumors that Trump "berated" her for her testimony.

Her background is public relations, she initially joined the Trump family to work for Ivanka. She's not a career civil servant, has no political experience, and no legal background.

So yeah, you can imagine the experience to be traumatizing. If Trump made some disparaging or critical remark afterwards (who are we kidding of course he did!) not too surprising she said "fuck it" and threw in the towel.

Rumor has it that in her testimony she admitted to telling "white lies" as part of her job. Further speculation is that it occurred to her, or more likely her lawyers, that she's in serious legal jeopardy, especially if one of those "white lies" was to Mueller back in his interview with her in December. She handled the Dumpster's email, was privy to a lot of pivotal meetings, and may already be guilty of obstruction, so she's in a particularly sensitive position. She's only 29 - I doubt she wants to spend the rest of her hot years in the big house. Turns out orange isn't the new black, it's just a shitty color for a shitty president. Her lawyers may have told her to GTFO while she still has a chance.

Too bad. She was hot.

I think she's available. You might have a chance.

When it's a republican, it's ok if you come before.

How is Trump supposed to sleep with her now?

If he can't, then she was clearly too ugly. Or a lesbian. The Trumpster don't have time for no fuglies.

I was implying Hope Hicks served as house mistress, breaking Trump's steady string of pornstar mistresses as too unseemly in the White House. Stephanie Winston Wolkoff is also now gone and Zina Bash is a married mom. Trump's personal secretary Madeleine Westerhout is prettier than Lindsay Walters, may be the best current option to keep Trump from killing us all.

I like the Scott Baio idea.

Chachi and The Donald. Ok, it's a step down from The Fonz, but it is a gig.

So are we going with Donnie Loves Chachi or Charles in Charge of White House Communications?
captainstubing said @ 9:45am GMT on 2nd Mar
Angry and unhinged Scott Baio would be a lot of fun as the WH Commsbot.

Surely someone has already made the Donnie Loves Chachi video and it is furtively circulated in certain fora that serve...particular tastes. If not, Steele, I think I know how to fund SE pretty much forever.
