I had already been a communist, but the way liberal news and liberal late night shows immediately rehabilitated Sean Spicer after he left definitely cut off a lot of vestigial liberalism. Like "oh wow yeah these people don't even bother pretending to have principles behind the things they say good to know"
It's all a game to the people in power.
There's a name I haven't thought of in years. A little bit of pr (with a lot of being on tv) and he's a new man. I can't even remember what he did first after leaving the White House. Was he on Dances with the Stars? In any case - I remember seeing photos of him with smiling celebs. When you get a boil removed from your body you don't take selfies with it.
I was almost tempted to google him but why bother? I can simply assume he got himself at least one sweet, sweet sinecure. My wild guess is he works for a defense contractor and he snagged himself one or two board of director gigs. I wonder how much he makes for all that non-work. ~$300,000 a year?
