Suddenly, Trey Gowdy has announced his imminent retirement. Seems like an awful lot of establishment Republicans are fleeing congress — perhaps they’ve seen the writing on the wall? Or, more likely, they’ve gotten a whiff of the money in lobbying and media?
ABC News is hiring corrupt failure and Trumpian butt-sniffer Chris Christie. If that blowhard can prosper in the media, anyone can.
Perhaps he’s preparing for his Supreme Court nomination…aaaaahhhhhh!!!
You have to be a tad amused that he prefers our justice system over our political system. Being money to be made in that, I suppose.
All these GOPhers retiring. There’s got to be an underlying reason for them to just walk away like that and I think I can nail it in two words: Russian money.
It seems an odd move for ABC to hire the least popular person on the planet. How is that supposed to boost their ratings?
Fleeing is something you do from some unexpected disaster, taking what scraps you are able to salvage. This is cashing out.
cervantes @3:
Yeah, you’d think that a company that was owned by Disney would have a better sense of how to conduct public relations.
Any Republicans who remember what shame was are calling themselves Independents or Libertarians now.
I haven’t seen any evidence that Libertarians have any more shame that Republicans.
They’re certainly not leaving out of a sudden attack of scruples.
microraptor@7,
Don’t they regard the social pressure that results in shame as a form of taxation, i.e. theft?
Because there are no coincidences in politics, I’ll note that a seat on the Fourth Circuit (covers South Carolina) became vacant just *yesterday* https://t.co/y7NrUsyEhQ https://t.co/F5GkbFu0YP
