Im old enough to remember when whistleblower allegations of improper spending involving foreign agents (im guessing russian) at the company owned and fronted by the republican nominee would be a big deal.

Amazing how the same people got so upset over some nonsense about a goddamn email server.

This should be a red flag for tech workers. This is not a company you want to work for, it is not a company where you will be respected.

On a more general note, a philosophical question: can a business which is designed to cater to people who are the marks of the right wing con job not, itself, be a con? Can any “conservative” business succeed, as a business and not a revenue generator for a few individuals?

Hard to believe that Devin Nunes would retaliate for any perceived slights. Oh, wait a minute. Didn’t he attempt to sue the parody Twitter accounts Devin Nunes’ Cow and Devin Nunes’ Mom?
He seems nice.

“TMTG strictly adheres to all laws and applicable regulations.”

A question, TMTG, did Donald Trump lose the last election?

Any focus on reality? Civility? Honesty? Virtue? How about lawfulness?

No surprise, it’s a Trump op so of course it is: (a) mismanaged, (b) retaliatory, (c) obfuscatory, and (d) failing [as a legitimate enterprise]

Even harder to believe Mr Mooo-nes would be mismanaging something.

Shorter Devin, to the Board: “My only job is to make sure lots of money flows to my lord and savior’s personal accounts.”

One person said they include allegations of misuse of funds, hiring of foreign contractors and interfering with product development.

Putin’s IRA or GRU perhaps?

All I know about Devin Nunes is he was a dairy farmer from Califorina who got elected to Congress. Was more Republican partisan than Congressman. He is a Trump suck up. My understanding is he had zero experience in media or being a CEO. What could possibly go wrong in any company he might run.

It is almost like making one of Trump’s daughters in law chair of the Republican party.

What role Trump plays, if any, in the day-to-day operations of the company is not clear.

"Geez. I don’t even know!"

Forced out or did they quit in protest?

I think it’s what is holding them together. They can’t turn on Trump because the whole thing is a scam, and they don’t know how to eat without it.

If we ever capture the root fuckstick at the heart of bullshit island, the first thing he’ll ask is ‘why did it take you so long’.
