Corruption runs deep, but Leftist seem to fail upward

So. the former Metropolitan Chief of Police who bungled the Seth Rich murder investigation is now the Chief of Security at the NFL.  Oh, and also, she likes to hob-nob with DNC bigwigs and sits on a board with the former wife of John Podesta.

So yet another Clintonista skated while the skating was good, and got a fat job pushing Progtard values at a converged institution.  You want to know why the NFL has no problem with it's players kneeling during the anthem?  Because the NFL is run by people who associate far more with the Democrat leadership than they do with Joe Sixpack from Kansas City.

Oh, and just in case you were wondering, no, I'm not watching the game.  I'm guessing most of you already knew that.

This reminds me of my time working at the EMP in Seattle.  The Director of the place was stepping down, and they brought in a new director from the Seattle Center to take over.  The new director had just stepped down as director of the Seattle Center after triggering a lawsuit over unpaid benefits from Seattle Center staff that cost the Center over $2.5 million.  So, after that spectacular debacle of crashing the Seattle Center's traffic into the ground and costing the center millions of dollars due to her violating employee's contracts, she got a better paying gig right next door because she knew the right people and said the right things.  She promptly laid off half of the EMP staff.  The last time I walked by the place, it was even more empty of patrons than when I got laid off.  A month after I got laid off, I got another job with higher pay, so it wasn't like I got screwed over.  And quite frankly, the guys who didn't get laid off quickly left when they could.  Under her "leadership", employee turn-over increased quite a bit.

I highly doubt she's still the director there.  However, this being Seattle, I am willing to bet money that she's driven several other organizations into the ground, and still gets paid six figures a year, or more.

This woman, Kathy Lanier, was the Chief of Police for one of the most crime-ridden cities in America.  After the department she was responsible for completely bungled one of the most high-profile murders in recent history, she failed upwards into a cushy job thanks to her political connections.  I have no doubt that she'll "succeed" in her new job like she did in her old one.

This is why group identity is so important for Leftists.  They don't succeed based on their own merits, or on the basis of past work.  They continue to fail time and time again, but someone else always pays the price.  And as long as they signal the right virtues, and say the right things about the right people, they will continue to find new work, to fail upwards.

Whereas folks the right judge you based on your body of work.  Any conservative with half a brain would never have hired the failed executive who cost the Seattle Center millions of dollars in lawsuits and lawyers fees to take over a failing music museum.  Because we don't care what virtue you signal.  We want to know if you can get people in the door, paying for tickets, buying food and drink, and keeping our employees employed.

Apparently, the NFL really doesn't care about that.  Oh well.
