How Sean Spicer Saved America

Underestimation is the Easiest Path to Victory

Sean Spicer is a conservative who was appointed to the Naval Academy Board of Visitors by Donald Trump in his first term. Sean Spicer got the gig in 2019 with a contract that lasted three years, expiring at the end of calendar year 2021.

With just three months left to go on his appointment, Sean Spicer received a letter from the Biden White House Personnel Office on September 8, 2021, stating that he had a choice: resign or be fired. The hubris of the Democrat machine was so evident here—Biden could have just let the clock run out on Spicer since his term expired in about 12 weeks anyway. But the Biden administration left no stone unturned when it came to making trouble for unabashed MAGA people.

And it wasn’t just mean old Joe Biden. Jen Psaki was in favor of the decision, suggesting perhaps Sean Spicer was not qualified for the job he had done for more than 2.5 years. She literally called his ability into question. So not just was Spicer getting a pink slip near the end of his appointment, he was getting a kick in the groin, too.

Since the Biden regime was a cacophony of ignorance and disaster, this was one of the least-known things that the Biden regime did. Most people overlooked it. After all, with what Biden did in Afghanistan, firing an appointed official seemed like small potatoes.

Turning a Pink Slip Into a Green Light

The real hero of the story is Stephen Miller, another outspoken Trump supporter. Miller, a brilliant legal mind, runs a group called America First Legal. When he found out about the Spicer incident, Miller cooked up the idea of having Spicer sue Biden with the goal of cementing a legal precedent that could be used when Republicans got into office again. The result was a lawsuit with the vary pactical title of Sean M. Spicer et al v. Joseph R. Biden, Jr., President of the United States, et al.

Instead of quietly packing his things in a cardboard box, Spicer stood his ground. First, he refused to resign and insisted that the Biden regime fire him. Then, when he got fired, Spicer filed a lawsuit for wrongful termination. This is one of those weird cases where the plaintiff bringing the lawsuit did so in order to lose the case.

Democrats should never underestimate the intelligence of Conservatives (something they are quite prone to do, often portraying Conservatives as toothless illiterates). Spicer took the Biden regime to court, making the claim that Biden had no right to fire him. This compelled the Biden regime to defend the president’s right to fire whomever he wanted to fire.

Irony is so ironic.

It is important to recognize that Stephen Miller and Sean Spicer never expected to win the case. What happened next was clear to most people who know the law: the court ruled in Biden’s favor and decided that, as president, Joe Biden had the right to fire anyone he wanted.

To make sure the case was good and strong, Spicer appealed. And the appeals court also confirmed: the president can fire anyone.

This was a very smart lawsuit to lose. What Sean Spicer did was lay the legal foundation for what Trump intended to do in his second term—fire people. Two courts—a lower court and an appeals court—confirmed that the president can fire anybody. This law applied to any president, including Trump.

Kennedy Center Goes Berserk

So along comes President Trump into the Oval Office, cue the “Hail to the Chief” music, and he starts firing people. Remember when he kicked all of the limousine liberals off the board at the Kennedy Center?

The folks at the Kennedy Center howled in protest. President Trump isn’t allowed to fire us, they argued.

Sorry, the courts have already decided that the president can fire anyone.

If anyone has any questions about how Trump could summarily dismiss the Kennedy Center board, just ask Joe Biden. Without his rush to fire Sean Spicer, we wouldn’t have the ironclad legal precedent that the president can fire anybody he wants. While one can argue the president can fire anyone, the Spicer decision gave MAGA belts and suspenders. It’s clear legally plus we have a precedent that went as far as the appeals court.

At this very moment, the liberal-leaning courts are busy trying to work against this ruling. Our legal system is not immune from making stupid arguments. So there are liberal jurists right now cooking up a case to show that presidents can’t just fire anyone. The main argument they are working on is that Spicer was “appointed” and could be fired, but other people are “full-time equivalents” (FTEs) and must keep their job because, somehow, they have a different employment status. In other words, Spicer had a contract with an expiration date, but other people have some sort of employee deal that makes it impossible for them to be fired. They’re trying to split hairs where there are no hairs to split. It’s a dumb argument, even for liberal judges, since the courts in the two Spicer rulings did not differentiate employees by whether they were FTEs or appointees or anything else. I suspect that Trump’s legal team is more than prepared for this argument, which should be squashed pretty quickly and might even fall apart before they get to court.

While liberals are howling about the “takeover” of the Kennedy Center and other institutions, screaming that it all of these firings are happening so fast, so unexpectedly… Um, no. This was something MAGA has been working on for years.

Stevie Wonder could have seen this coming.

The funny thing about people who are not MAGA is that they underestimate MAGA. They think MAGA people are dimwitted, stupid, evil, nasty, racist individuals who can’t read or add two numbers together. (Strangely, they attribute to us the ability to destroy democracy but not to be able to read.) I saw some liberal writer on a news show recently suggesting that MAGA people don’t read books—because they don’t know how to read. She literally said that and the audience laughed and laughed! Democrats underestimate MAGA.

That’s good, liberals. Keep underestimating us. This’ll be fun.
