I wouldn’t want that job either. Set aside working for the criminals occupying the White House right now- beyond that it’s just a no-win job.

Nothing happens? You weren’t really needed. Something happens? You didn’t do enough.

Bernie was like Colin Powell before he lied to the UN and got us into the Iraq war- after being associated with Bush’s White House he’d be forever tarnished, just as Powell is.
