Eh, who gives a shit. They come and go so fast now that they don’t even leave a footprint or shadow after they’ve left. Its as if they were never important to begin with…which I assume was the entire purpose of having them serve in this WH in the first place. The main thing is to see how much money he’s made off of being in his position beyond his regular salary, and how much he’s absconded with after he’s left either through secret corporate deals, stocks purchases, etc. That’s all I care about.

Btw, what’s Scott Pruitt or Tom Price up to these days? Anyone? Hare today, Goon tomorrow.

Some day we’ll be getting a “Where Are They Now?” series after they’re all gone like we do with one hit wonders in the music industry.

I was thinking Zinke when the Lafayette Park riot was happening. Would Zinke have ridden his horse into the melee to show his mettle?

He’ll be side-by-side with Condoleezza Rice, Professor at Stanford University’s Graduate School of Business and a Fellow on Public Policy at the Hoover Institution where she will become Director on September 1 2020. We (speaking in the royal singular here) are neither impressed, nor amused.
