Begs the question, was Jay in such a hurry to not CEO that parachuting in a VC guy with no obvious social media enthusiasm was the better option?

This non-war will probably last just long enough to be useful. We have the elections coming up - could probably mess with that for "safety" reasons. He could abuse wartime laws to make a few bucks or lock some people up. Yeah, no rush to wrap this one up at all.

Good luck with that.

How are you gonna return to the Tarzhay era when you cut out the culture that gave you the nickname back in the day? Until you do right by us, we are standing on business and bouncing out forever.

Hillary Clinton has always been a bad ass, yall just bought into the GOP bullshit they made up and fed you for years, villifying her since the 90's (women hating asshats like Newt and Rush).
I covered her as a Secret Service Agent in 2016 on the campaign trail all over the U.S. and in the Miami Field Office district when she and Billl visited (D.R.). She was always the consummate professional and knew her shit. She was polite and respectful towards me and my team, always.

In 2016, Americans elected Trump, a reality TV host, over Hillary Clinton, unquestionably one of the most experienced party nominees in modern history.

The election exposed a deep fracture in how Americans evaluate leadership: celebrity over expertise, and how gender shapes political judgment.👇
