You know how I know every Trump enabler will fail up?

Chris Christie has a 6 figure contract at @ABC News as a contributor. Spicer and Lewandowski were given fellowships at Harvard. Spicer also got 6 figures to appear on Dancing with the Stars.

They'll all be just fine.

.@SarahHuckabee whose job was to lie to the press and promote dangerous conspiracy theories got $$$ and a book deal from St Martin's Press, part of MacMillan, one of the "Big 5" Publishers. So much for avoiding the "the liberal media." Her book came out in September by the way.

.@MilesTaylorUSA, who was "Anonymous," wrote a book and is now a CNN contributor. He was fine with the child separation policy. He also lied to CNN about being Anonymous. He was punished...by remaining as a contributor washingtonpost.com/lifestyle/medi…

.@NikkiHaley, who was a Trump enabler, supporter and gaslighter, served as his UN Ambassador. Her punishment? Yup, another lucrative book deal from that dreaded "liberal media": St. Martin's Press, Macmillan, 2019.

John Kelly, who was so brave & bold today after 4 years of complicity, stood by as Trump kidnapped kids. His punishment? He's on the board of Caliburn, parent organization of the company that runs the largest facility housing migrant children in the US

.@AmbJohnBolton, a notorious anti-Muslim bigot and warmonger, proudly and willingly served as Trump's third national security advisor. His punishment after being ousted? A 2 MILLION DOLLAR advance by Simon & Schuster for his memoir. Oh how he has suffered.

.@OMAROSA, who knew exactly what Trump was, voluntarily joined his Administration before being let go by John Kelly. Her reward? A paid gig on Celebrity Big Brother (where she made it to the Final 5 - well done!) and a book deal, again, given by Simon & Schuster.

Raj Shah, a shonda to South Asians everywhere, was White House Deputy Press Secretary for Trump. He left and suffered greatly by being hired as Senior VP at Fox News where his job is to run a project discrediting its critics. nytimes.com/2020/05/31/bus…

.@JoeNBC & Mika enabled & promoted Trump early on. They schmoozed & dined with him. That friendship didn't last & they turned on each other. Still, the initial damage was done and I hope they acknowledge it and apologize for it. The culture must change.

This thread can go on & on. Just be prepared. It's how the town works. The tribe protects its own. But just b/c that's how it's been doesn't mean it has to be this way. Enabling Fascism shouldn't be taken lightly. Redemption should be earned, & I'm always willing to accept it.

I'm confident this thread won't make me many friends in high places, but my kids told me today they think I'm cool & my wife said she found my new haircut attractive, so I take these as big wins. Also, if this can BARELY help change this toxic, incestuous culture...all worth it.
