Hey @BD – Yes, I saw it. 🙂

Hey @truthiz1 do you see the new @ next to our names?

California Rep. Devin Nunes’ decision not to run for re-election to head former President Donald Trump’s new social media venture is the perfect summation of the state of the Republican Party. This would only make sense in a climate where a Twitter and talk show provocateur like Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-Ga.) — who has been stripped of all her committee assignments — is better known than every ranking Republican with the possible exception of House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy (R-Calif.).

Nunes is in line to chair the House Ways and Means Committee following an election in which Republicans are heavily favored, and it is practically the house style of every political publication to append the adjective “powerful” to the tax-writing committee. This is a highly coveted chair. Yet it is no longer the primary path to power or influence in today’s GOP.

Five years after nominating a reality TV star with no prior political experiences besides writing checks to candidates to be president of the United States — and winning the White House with that candidate — Republicans heed their loudest voices on cable news and social media. It is a trend that has been building for years, when Rush Limbaugh became more influential than your median Republican senator, and is now the unmistakable reality.

Oh…well there you have it…lol. And now Nunes can really put his flunkie skills to work for Trump.

Of course, Trump’s new social media venture is a joke and will be disaster…IF indeed it ever actually launches(?) But no worries. Trump will find something else for Nunes to do…smh.
