1. I don't know why Twitter is making such a big deal out of this.

Nobody even knows what she does.

[Arkansas Granny]

2. Exactly.

[BoneyardDem]

25. thats what at least 50% of the replies are asking

no one can figure out why she deserves $180K a year of our hard earned money. It's actually a big deal.

Why is the firing effective 1-20-18 exactly one year after the "hire" date, instead of immediately?

[C_U_L8R]

3. Stayed long enough to cash in her tax break

What the heck was she doing there anyway?

[NewJeffCT]

6. she was the one that said we'd all bow down to President Trump

or something like that. She was the "villain" in the original season of The Apprentice.

[rzemanfl]

13. Right. n/t

[dalton99a]

18. Candy Crush, online shopping, and counting her toes and fingers

[InAbLuEsTaTe]

31. Probably a pay off to keep quiet?

[jmowreader]

35. It was her reward for the campaign

Omarosa Manigault, for some reason, really likes Donald Trump. IIRC she had the job of "African-American outreach."

Which is roughly equivalent to selling Tasmanian devils as lap dogs.

[lunasun]

4. Wow even his flunkies are done with Trump now.

[Proud Liberal Dem]

5. I hadn't even seen or heard anything about her since the campaign

when she declared that we would all "bow" to President (God-Emperor) Trump

[LisaM]

27. You didn't hear about the baby shower?

I don't know who it was for, but there was some godawful video of her using the White House for someone to have a baby shower. They apparently all had the run of the place. It was odd.

[Proud Liberal Dem]

28. I must have missed that

not that you could hardly blame me with everything going on.

[LisaM]

29. It was back in July.

Not front page news by any means, but very illuminating as to how the current occupants use it - just as an events center, like everything else they have.

7. Very much expected - April Ryan is claiming she was "escorted out"

I heard there was drama and she was escorted out of the building and off campus

20. I've read that Kelly

felt all she did was "trigger" donnie's worst instincts, he fired her and had her escorted off the premises. They're allowing her to save face but she's already gone.

[BumRushDaShow]

21. I expect that is how it went down.

She and Drumpf are 2 peas in a pod and create drama wherever they go.... which might make for a good guilty pleasure teevee show for some, but NOT when managing a nation of 323,000,000 people.

[Hortensis]

32. Vanity Fair has an update this afternoon, confirming and

a bit more:

Update (Wednesday, December 13 at 2:55 P.M.): In a CNN appearance on Wednesday afternoon, Ryan said that “many sources” had told her the reasons John Kelly let Omarosa go. First, she was deemed a “mood changer,” in that she would point something out and the president’s “whole mood would change,” and she doesn’t get along with the head of the new H.B.C.U. initiative, Johnathan Holifield. Her wedding was a concern, too, but more generally she did not know what she was doing. General Kelly “was tired of it,” Ryan said.

The Wall Street Journal also quoted a White House official, who said that Omarosa was “physically dragged and escorted off the campus” at the White House on Tuesday Night.

According to Ryan, General Kelly and Omarosa decided she would leave January 20, a year after she was officially installed in the White House, but “for some strange reason that didn’t sit well with her.” She wanted to call Trump after Kelly told her that the president had signed off on her firing. According to Ryan, Kelly told her, “This is not going to the principal’s office. It’s done.” Later, she tried to go see the president at his residence, but Kelly had cut off her open access. The Secret Service then escorted her off the property, at Kelly’s request.

Every time I read about this woman is an OD. The big interest is the ?coincidence? that the only black female in the WH is fired on the same day as Trump's yoooge humiliating Alabama loss. Was it as simple as Kelly choosing his moment to suggest firing to a raging Trump, or Trump's own idea?

[RandySF]

8. I think she was the one to got Trump to go out and campaign for Moore.

[snowybirdie]

9. Well she had

her wedding shower and took the wedding pictures in the White House, so there's nothing left do.

[hlthe2b]

10. Uggh good... but just one tiny bit of trash taken out, in an entire heap

[Achilleaze]

11. Whoops, there goes another republican...

[FarCenter]

12. Been there, done that.

In 2004, a People Magazine article reported that Omarosa was “banished from four jobs in two years with the Clinton administration.” Cheryl Shavers, the former Under Secretary for Technology at the Commerce Department, told People that Manigault was disruptive. People said Omarosa worked at Commerce several weeks in 2000.

14. Think she has a pre-nup? Oops, I mean an NDA...

[mainstreetonce]

15. I think her grandma grabbed her by the ear

And said " not in that house young lady"

# blackwomen

[smirkymonkey]

16. "to pursue other opportunities..."

heh, heh

[gratuitous]

22. Any word on whether those opportunities want to be pursued

At least it wasn't to spend more time with her family.

[JHB]

26. So, back to selling bootleg videos out of a car trunk?

Again.

[riversedge]

17. Happy Holidays

[edbermac]

19. Abandon ship!!

The SS Trumptanic is going down...

[Thor_MN]

24. According to some the ship tossed her overboard, swearing as she was escorted off...

They apparently are going to continue paying her for over a month however.

[struggle4progress]

23. "Holy moly! I just learned from Twitter that I've resigned!"

[GallopingGhost]

33. "pursue other opportunities"

Like what? Kicking dogs in the ribs and pulling the wings off butterflies?

[Straw Man]

34. I'm reminded of ...

... the episode of The Odd Couple where Oscar needs money, and somebody suggests that he hock his saxophone. He says, "I already hocked it."

Felix says, "I didn't know you played the saxophone."

Oscar replies, "I don't -- I just keep it for hocking."

They was just there for firing in case they ran out of patsies. Her turn finally came.
