IMO this is a win, he'll do less damage outside of Government. Trump will screw him and he'll lose everything, America wins.

Rep. Devin Nunes, R-Calif., will resign from Congress to become chief executive of former President Donald Trump’s fledgling social media company next month, the group said Monday.

Nunes, the top Republican on the House Intelligence Committee, will start as CEO of Trump Media & Technology Group, or TMTG, in January, the firm said in a press release.

He will probably get hired by Fox News as a contributor too.

I like it because a guy who sues everyone for libel is the perfect CEO for a ”media company” that will do nothing other than libel everyone. I’m sure plaintiffs’ lawyers won’t use his prior court pleadings against him at all.

I hope the sham implodes days after he's officially gone from Congress!

I think I just felt the Earth briefly tilt a few extra degrees in approval!

Now...if he'd only get the truck out of California.

Imagine. This guy Nunes was slated to head up or be ranking member of the Ways and Means committee. Whole country dodged a bullet there. Of course if the House is taken back by the Rs, the array of wannabes for Nunes' slot is not thrilling.

I imagine he will have the same expression when Trump stiffs him on his paycheck.

It’s amazing to watch Trump continually install incompetent people in positions that require knowledge and ability. When he’s president, it’s terrifying. When he’s not, it’s hilarious.

I like how the right tries to advertise California as an extreme liberal dystopia while completely ignoring that somehow Nunes and McCarthy got elected to Congress, not exactly low profile Republican members. I guess CA antifa and metoo members must have been up in Portland for a symposium when they should have been back home intimidating voters.

Speaks more about the current state of our politics than it does shitbag Nunes, his stupid master Trump, or this new con they're operating.

Being a member of congress and sitting on the House Ways and Means committee is nothing these days, he can be a lot more powerful and make more money operating a disinformation white nationalist platform under his fat, stupid cult leader. Really speaks a ton to how seriously they take their job. Of course, these folks will all the same, regurgitated nonsense... "I got in politics to help people". "I got into politics to make a difference".

Even Trump didn't really give a shit about the presidency. Not in the abstract. Like a child throwing a tantrum in a store for a toy. They don't really want the plastic piece of junk, they want to bend their parents to their will. And Trump, and Nunes, and all these other cult members just keep giving Trump his toy, the recognition and power he craves. The ability to piss all over the rule of law, decency and norms.

There's something maddening about watching someone who deserves nothing get everything, someone who's stupid have the approval of millions of people to walk around honestly believing they are smart.

Good story about this. It appears to be a non-company and the entire venture looks like a way to bilk investors and give Trump a big payday.

But it is kind of interesting watching the blatant fast-tracked version of people using political office as little more than a stepping stone to something more financially lucrative, and if there is something positive to say about it, its that Trump forces them to display themselves as the immoral whores that they are to get there.

IOW, status quo for Trump.

As for Nunes, how dumb can one man be? Good thing his cow will follow him to the new job.

Now that made me laugh this morning. Thanx!

He will probably get a portion of the payout if it goes through.

Hard to believe (or maybe it isn't) that this is the same base mad about paying taxes. As the saying goes, the lottery is an idiot tax. Whatever is below an idiot is what these donors are.
