Aaagh

I swear, I'm not paying attention to the current thing about Mulligan's chief of staff problems. But there are two things about Nick Ayers, who is currently Mike Pence's chief of staff and was supposedly being considered for the top job, that I heard or saw and can't get out of my mind.

First, this screen grab from MSNBC last night:


Which just... I find this new evidence of Mulligan's narcissism astounding, even among all the other examples.

And second, Ayers —who is just 34 years old — has "earned" $56 million dollars in his life already from political consulting (since 2011).

How is that possible?

I would almost feel better if it was from money laundering or bribes than that anyone is paid that much in that short a time for something that contributes so little to society.
