Nunes quits Congress for Trump Media job
Quote
Rep. Devin Nunes, a close ally of former President Donald Trump and the former chair of the House Intelligence Committee, will resign from Congress later this month to run Trump's new social media company.
Quote
While the independent commission charged with redrawing California’s congressional map is still completing its work, an early draft tilted Nunes’ Central Valley district toward Democrats, potentially complicating his path to reelection.

Good riddance to bad rubbish.

And here I thought that nothing good could come from Trump's new venture.

We all know what's going to happen to Nunes after Trump gets his clutches into him.

He was cowed by the thought of having to run in a Biden district. He decided he had to mooove on from Congress.

He actually thinks it'll succeed? I know Trump and Nunes have beef with big tech, but that strikes me as a load of bull.

Anyway, he's been in Congress for almost two decades and he's not even 50, so it's not like the steaks are particularly high for him.

It's undoubtedly a rare opportunity to jump into this medium, but based on everything else Trump has ever touched it won't be very well done.

Wonder how long until the new Trump company puts Nunes out to pasture.

It might be a while. I was initially puzzled by the choice, thinking it was something of a sinecure. But the more I think about it, the more I realize Nunes really has by far the most experience at this sort of venture of anyone in Trump's orbit.

Yeah, until Trump turns on him. That's a guarantee.

So I was checking his website (before it goes offline - someone please preserve it on the Wayback Machine) and this is from the "Nunes Wire" part of it:

I didn't know he had such a vendetta of sorts against social media companies...

When he's willing to be a beast of burden to get things done and not just sitting around chewing his cud, yes. But he spent an awful lot of time ruminating on how badly done by St. Donald was during the 115th Congress, and that doesn't bode well.
