Why does the post say the pilot left the blanket behind? Are pilots usually responsible for toting around blankets, comforters and duvets?

Firing someone for something they had nothing to do with, and then realizing he is your ride home. The metaphors are getting a little too on the head for me at this point.

He should have declined the offer

I’m usually against -gating things these days, but I’m kinda here for “blankie-gate” if any snarky reporter wants a suggestion.

Wait, what!? A blanket, as in her lovey? This is nonsense, this entire administration it’s straight out of Absurdist Fiction stories. Petulant evil entitled children ruling one of the biggest budgets & military in the world. What could go wrong?

Why am I picturing one of those thin, rather small blankets they give on overseas/overnight flights? Could a person be that petty over such an insignificant item?

Firing someone over a blanket is almost as stupid as shooting a puppy for being playful

The moment he was relieved he should have gone and started drinking
“Sorry, you removed me from duty, I was upset so I had a drink. Now we have to wait until tomorrow”
Much of our taxpayer dollars are going to coddle huge, fragile egos.

I’m sorry. But are we actually discussing an adult being upset she didn’t have her blanket with her? Upset enough to fire a pilot (not blanket handler mind you) over it?
That is levels of pathetic I wouldn’t even believe in a movie.

I feel like the title should be “Noem Forgets Blanket, Blames and Fires Pilot”
How is her blanket the responsibility of the pilot? He’s worried about flying not where somebody’s blanket is.

I believe it was actually Lewandowski who “fired” the pilot as the “rumors” of her affair are resurfacing. Apparently, it’s common knowledge around the office.

I bet the whole CG team had at least one other qualified pilot on hand. But they all stood there and denied it. “I guess you’ll just have to reinstate Jim, huh?”

Why is she still in office? She is a traitor and should resign immediately

The pilot went back to his job?
I would have told her to fuck right off.
