Pompeo plots 2024 power play

Mike Pompeo has quickly reentered the political fray, raising money for Republicans, addressing key political gatherings and joining an advocacy group run by Donald Trump's former lawyer.

Why it matters: The former secretary of state is widely considered a potential 2024 presidential contender. His professional moves this week indicate he's working to keep his name in the headlines and bolster a political brand built largely on foreign policies easily contrasted with the Biden White House.

What's new: Pompeo is lending his name to fundraising efforts on behalf of House Republicans looking to retake the lower chamber next year.

"It's Mike Pompeo," read fundraising texts sent this month by the National Republican Congressional Committee. "The Democrats won't stand up to China. Will you, Friend? 5X match give to restore a USA First agenda."

6. These idiots all have presidential aspirations for 2024.

Do they think that as long as The Pumpkin King is still around and rallying, he's going to allow that?

The best, easiest gift the GOP could have given themselves would have been to ensure that clown was convicted in the Senate and keep him from running again. They had four years to call him a member of Antifa and a crypto-Democrat and lay the blame solely at his feet.

Now, they have to sit back and watch helplessly while he shits on their hopes and dreams for the next four years.

9. And if Trump himself cannot run in 2024, he will insist on Jr. or Ivanka.

Republicans screwed themselves silly by not getting rid of Trump when they had the opportunity. Trump will help the party slip and slide even further into lunatic fringe conspiracies that will turn off more traditional Republicans. While I despise even hearing the man’s name, if Trump can split the Republican Party into crazy and much crazier factions, I will applaud.
