Where to now for Mark Meadows. I don't think he'll work in government ever again.
Unless it's Trump's government, in which case he's a shoe-in for White House consigliere again.
Trump has to win again first - looking at it that way, all bets are off.

It's the Jewish Space Lasers again, they've wiped everyone's minds with them!
I had a look at her Twitter feed, it's quite funny reading the responses to her wah-wah-woe-is-me tweets:
I thought she would have been banned from Twitter (like Trump was) for playing a part in the January 6 riot?
Only slightly off-topic ... 🙂
The Guardian - Sarah Palin faces formidable opponent in Congress run: Santa Claus
27 April
The bearded city council member in North Pole, Alaska, backs Bernie and champions child welfare. Could his new workshop be in Washington?
Sarah Palin announced her candidacy for Alaska’s only congressional seat this month, entering a race with dozens of candidates. She certainly brings name recognition to the contest – but another contender may have her beat in that department.
His name is Santa Claus.
He lives, of course, in North Pole – a town of about 2,000 in Alaska.
He has a big white beard and a kindly manner, and Santa Claus is indeed his legal name, though, as a Bernie Sanders supporter, he does not exploit elf labor.
He won a city council seat in 2015, to the delight of observers around the world. Now he’s ready to take his political career to the next stage.
He’s running to complete the term of the long-serving Republican congressman Don Young, who died last month at age 88. A special primary will be held on 11 June.
As for Claus’s politics: he’s been called “a bastion of blue on a city council as red as Rudolph’s nose”.
He says voters who look at Sanders’ policy platform can get a pretty good idea of his own, including support for Medicare for All, racial justice, corporate accountability, and free and fair elections. ...
"A snowflake's chance in hell" springs to mind. 🧐

The Washington Post - Trump says he feared being pelted with ‘very dangerous’ fruit at rallies
today
Former president Donald Trump said he feared protesters would hit him with tomatoes, pineapples and other “very dangerous” fruit at his campaign rallies, declaring in a sworn deposition that “you can be killed if that happens.”
Trump’s comments about the potentially lethal effects of projectile produce were made public Tuesday with the release of excerpts of 4½ hours of videotaped testimony in a lawsuit filed by a group of protesters who allege that Trump’s security guards assaulted them in 2015.
“I wanted to have people be ready because we were put on alert that they were going to do fruit,” Trump said in the October 2021 deposition.
He added that “tomatoes are bad” and that “some fruit is a lot worse.”

I saw that, dear God. He's scared of fruit? I guess fruit is more forceful (physically) than lies and misinformation and bigotry. I also remember him saying he would pay anyone's legal fees at his early rallies if they beat up/injured a protestor. Did he ever actually pay anything out though?

kingdragonfly: He also considers cans of soup as a clear and present danger, on par with windmills.
And this is the guy who was in charge of America's nuclear arsenal!

This map from 538 is interesting, shows the redistricting and what's happening everywhere. Of special note is Florida, where Ron is trying to chop it up so the Democrats are basically shut out of there.
