…she will be leaving to “pursue new opportunities.”

The first opportunity she will be pursuing will be the chance, however remote, of making the rest of the world forget where she’s been for the last four years.

Farah said that serving the Trump administration has been “the honor of a lifetime” and that she is “deeply proud of the incredible things we were able to accomplish to make our country stronger, safer, and more secure.”

No. That’s not really true.
You assisted the most dishonorable administration in the history of this nation.

Put that on your shingle and hang it in front of your business…

She wants to spend more time lying to her family.

Patrick Henry College?

Patrick Henry College | For Christ and For Liberty
Glorifying God by challenging the status quo in higher education; holding high both faith and reason.

Get the hook. Make it a big one.

Sounds like a candidate for deportation.

ETA: I love the connection to WorldNetDaily. The journalistic lunatic fringe intersects with the Presidential lunatic fringe.

Since it looks like both her parents are immigrants, strip that citizenship post haste, and deport her yesterday.

Stronger? No. Demonstrably false. Our alliances and trade relationships are in tatters.
Safer? No. Demonstrably false.
More secure? No. Demonstrably false.
I guess she’s proud of kidnapping infants from lactating mothers, caging children, permanently separating family members, wasting money while building portions of an unnecessary wall, blatant racism, misogyny, white supremacy and nazis, willful ignorance, science denial, never-ending corruption and lawlessness, promoting the spread of a deadly pandemic that was going to miraculously disappear, and a constant unending stream of pathological lies from a malignant narcissist. And that’s just the tip of the iceberg.

I suspect she will find employment somewhere among feral non-humans under a rock.

We called it World Nut Daily.

I love the faith and reason claim from good ol’ Patrick Henry College.

An oxymoron if I ever heard one.

Perhaps she and Melania can go in together on an escort service somewhere in Eastern Europe.

Yeah, get out into the wilderness before the rest of the scum. You get the choicer roots and grubs that way. And just remember there’s a whole world of wealth and power that never wants to see the likes of you looking for work. That world thought the idea of a Trump presidency was an unthinkably horrible mistake and were vindicated in that fear. I say remember, but you’ll be reminded on a regular basis for the rest of your life. You will never, ever live this down.

I’m really curious what kind of future she (and others like her) will have outside the Trump / Wingnut bubble.

For her to make money consulting, she will need access to the halls of power and I’m skeptical career people anywhere in government will be interested in throwing her a bone. But maybe she’s delightful and will succeed despite her being Trump stained.

I read your first sentence as “the horror of a lifetime” I am sure that that is what she really means.

Uhhh…

Could you be a little bit more specific on what, if anything, is better off today than when you showed up?

Oddly funny, but when I first glanced at the photo accompanying this article, I thought I saw a scene reminiscent of “Get Smart”. She’s taking off a mask, but it kinda looks like she’s talking into her shoe.
