And I’m sure she’s getting a lot more out of it than $165K a year - there’s all the favors and the cushy lifestyle courtesy of lobbyists, making lotsa (greasy) connections, the inevitable book deal... and most of the time she lies so effortlessly, like she’s just flicking a speck of dust off her sleeve.

Yet you would trust a company that has no public oversight nor can you vote any in!

For one, I wouldn’t consider this “immediate flight” - clearly they were already in the middle of giving him the business, it’s not like he started running right after seeing them.

I know that’s sarcasm, but these days...

What about Diet State? Cherry Vanilla State?

A few thoughts:
