Could be, and also that could be what precipitated a decision that had been longer in the making.

I remember now reading that weeks ago and chuckling. Bad bosses always look for one magical solution that will fix everything.

Turns out it was eight months! Time flies. He was the longest-lasting person in the role.

Does he continue to have connections to Fox News? to Rupert Murdoch? How will his new gig fit with Fox as WH propaganda arm? So many questions. So little time.

Fifteen grand a month seems to be standard pay for keeping your mouth shut.

Didn’t his (anti)Social Media director leave the White(s Only) House to return to the campaign (of division and hate) as well? IIRC he became the campaign manager.

Please make a note of it. It will be on the quiz.

I’m looking forward to working on President Trump’s reelection campaign and spending more time with my family,” Shine said in a statement distributed by the White House.

You can drive a convoy through that contradiction.

The timing is suspicious to me. Why is he suddenly exiting stage left on the heels of the reporting of the seamless fusion of Fox News/White House staff and the corrupt pro-Trump propaganda Fox News is creating in the name of news?
