Feel free to run it through your kidneys first, of course…
Brad Parscale just held an at times emotional staff meeting at the campaign's headquarters to hand things over to Bill Stepien, according to two sources.

Brad Parscale’s job disappeared in the warm weather, like a miracle.

Ferrari Brad’s still got a sinecure in the campaign, of course. But it’s all back-room grifting now, waiting for instructions from the GRU, passing unmarked envelopes to the Trump Crime Cartel’s WAGs…

I know! Of all their ads that was the one that I was the most dubious about working.

Maybe that's why they are doing loyalty interviews. https://t.co/H02V2SvcL2

In the middle of a devastating pandemic and a searing economic crisis, the White House has an urgent question for its colleagues across the administration: Are you loyal enough to President Donald Trump?…
The interviews are being arranged with officials across a wide range of departments including Health and Human Services, Defense, Treasury, Labor and Commerce and include the top tier of Trump aides: Senate-confirmed appointees. Officials are expected to detail their career goals and thoughts on current policies, said more than a dozen people across the administration with knowledge of the meetings.
White House officials have said the interviews are a necessary exercise to determine who would be willing to serve in a second term if President Donald Trump is reelected. But officials summoned for the interviews say the exercise is distracting from numerous policy priorities, like working to fight the pandemic, revitalizing the economy or overhauling regulation, and instead reflect the White House’s conviction that a “deep state” is working to undermine the president…
Trump’s new campaign manager, Bill Stepien, worked for Chris Christie.
When Christie left office, he had 14% approval.
So, Stepien is a perfect hire.
