Out of a cannon, right?
...
Right?

edit: wait, doesn't this mean that the new guy has to resign from the senate? Am I remembering this correctly?

She's not really fired.

Most other governments would call this a cabinet shuffle. She's not out of a job, she's going to be given a new one.

No she's been given a made-up job. One of those where you collect a big, fat government paycheck and only have to come in to an empty desk for a few hours every month. They're great if you can get one. Unless you're a showboating narcissist who murders puppies.

Yeah, but it won't make a difference. The Governor gets to appoint a replacement to finish his term, and that runs through 2030. They aren't going to appoint a Democrat. Most likely it will be a failed Republican candidate from a recent election.

You dont get to keep that job long term.

Ive seen it happen to a few C Suite execs in my time, they get moved to a new department to spearhead a new initiative that everyone knows is doomed and in 6 months they quietly disolve that initiative and pay them a redundancy because THAT project didnt work out and please dont look into the job they were doing 6 months ago because thats not why they were made redundant.

Relocated really...

doesn't this mean that the new guy has to resign from the senate?

Yes, Mullin will have to give up his seat to take a position in the executive branch.

Murder in the shadows, not on center stage.

there are a lot of nervous puppies looking at each other in a 5 mile radius of this skank.
