Facebook's Chief Marketing Officer Gary Briggs is leaving the social media giant to retire... or not.
In a Facebook post, Briggs explained...
Status update
I guess it’s fitting that this is a status update. After weighing the timing, and discussing it with Chris and Sheryl over the past year, I‘m excited to have made the decision to retire. And I know I’m fortunate; very fortunate.
I am so grateful for my 4 1/2 years as CMO at Facebook and will work now on hiring my successor. It’s an amazing job at an amazing time with the best marketing team. While I’m getting ready for my next chapter, I’m not done yet. I’ll be here at Facebook fully committed until we hire someone great and they ramp up.
Since our boys went off to college two years ago, Catherine and I have been talking about how to take advantage of our new flexibility. I took that time to weigh what it would be like to continue to work full-time versus not. Over the past year, I’ve also pursued more personal interests and decided that now is the right time.
I’m going to pursue some advisory work for a few companies and hopefully join a few boards. I’ll explore teaching a bit. We’re going to travel some and start to split our time in and out of the Bay Area and Seattle.
And I plan to help the Democratic Party on some efforts leading up to the US midterms this year through to 2020.
Thank you to Chris, Sheryl and Mark for inviting me into Facebook and the best role of my career. I’m excited for what’s next.
Although if politicians and Facebook officials are to be believed, winning the Midterms is simple... just buy $120,000 of Ads on Facebook?
Paving the way for 2020...

The silicon valley Sultans, bunch of crap bags, but don't worry the Dems care about the little guy. The little guy being a illegal alien or H1b-visa holder.

Oh look, another rich old White cuck claiming poor White people have it too good.
The Demorats need a platform that doesn't include replacing poor Whites. That might help them some.

Build the fucking wall. It's how you maintain the rule of law. Without a wall there is only permanent chaos. A wall serves a psychological purpose. It says "you're not allowed here". That's the same reason we have doors and windows with locks. It's not because doors and windows and walls cannot be broken. It's because they send a message: You're not allowed here.
Zuckerberg built a wall. A wall around his garden. Democrats know, walls make good rules. Democrats say the only good walls are Democrat walls.
Facebook Wall: Okay
Trump Wall: Not Okay

Should we tell this doushewad that the Dim party won't even exist a year from now? Naaaahhhh...

Nope. Believe me, he'll be running the Facebook election machine, but he'll do it from behind the scenes for maximum deniability.
Can't have the plebs questioning the ethics of a huge company that has the statistics on every man, woman, and child in America stupid enough to have a facebook account (most of them), using that power to control the future of the nation. No, that wouldn't be kosher. Gotta provide the appearance of propriety.
He's "leaving" now to set things in motion for 2018 and then his bosses (Zuckey the Thief) run in 2020.

But I'll stay in really close contact with my comrades at Facebook.
'Hi, my name is S.Clusterberg Zuckerfuck and I am head honcho at ArseAboutFace.com. The 'S' is for Solly. You can call me Solomon.'
So, this guy, I mean gay, outed himself as a fag.
Only morons waste their time helping a party that doesn't give a fuck about them.
"Guys" like him own that party

I'm hopeful that when you return to your position at Fecebook that its been taken over by a robot.
DS needs all hands on deck. Back to the agency. If he gets shot dead in Georgetown I won't ask...
Another revolving door emerges.
No doubt, Facebook will be his primary marketing tool of choice while working with the DNC.
Dear Gary,
I hear that the countryside is full of windmills that you can joust with.
Facebook CMO and twitter COO resign on same day?
Yeah nothing suspect there I'm sure.
A certified feminist - guaranteed to work against his own interests as a human being.
Did anyone else notice that Gary seems to be very white and very male? I thought facefunk was a leader in the Metoo movement and pink hat stuff.
It is a woman of color trapped in a white male body.

Just another douchebag.
What is his plan? Sucking cock for votes? Whatta fag.

I am going to remain at my Job and work and Pray that Socialist Immoral Reprobate's such as you never get close to Governing over the American People
More evidence that dems are the ultimate statist and Facebook needs to be face palmed
Let’s hope he does not have access to petabytes of data already processed to determine everything DNC would want to know about their opposition.
But hey, terms of use, opposition should not have been in the hornets’ nest.
I don't get why he'd leave, seems like his goal and actions are self-contradicting. and he looks like a tool. oh yea, buddy - tool.
Now that I've made my money at Facebook ,
I can help with the raping of humanity.
Just keep Hilary away from the media and the Democrats might do alright.
He even looks like a cockroach
Correction, "I plan to now OPENLY help . . . "
He didn't do too well for them at FB.
Hey uh --- Briggs...? Look in the mirror buddy. You ain't the face of the Democrat party anymore...
I guess the timing is right, he has the new algorithms set up, a back door coded so he can get in and sift the data, so nows the time to go 'Independent' of the Company.......
Liberal scum!
