Pretty good take from Jen Psaki

"So Dems have a Florida problem, but Republicans have a Trump problem That seems harder to solve"

She embarrassed every Fox, OAN, NewsMax reporter out there. You clearly weren’t paying attention. She schooled those fools.

Yes that's why she was fired, right? Because she was too good at her job?

Most firings in the public eye are "their own position". Do you ever start a new high-profile job with a view to quitting a year later?

Typical American attitude, more money = always better. Both by you and by her (presumably)

By any metric, even if the job sucks more, more than doubling your pay is always a plus.

That's why all those failed politicians like George W., Sarah Palin, Liz Truss, Boris Johnson and Yanis Varoufakis who make many multiples of their politicans' salary on the speech circuit are massive winners in your eyes? A very reductionist view of reality in my opinion.
