Cadet Bone Spurs relied on (PAID!!!) a private doctor to give him bone spurs and completely avoided the military doctors who would have found his worthless fit for duty. How in the fuck can one avoid an FBI background check for any government position and contract work?
It turns out that the erosion of rights will be done for fun during the real task of butchering the federal infrastructure and agenci6snd selling them to the highest bidding friend
Well duh. That's what's a convicted felon would want to do if they got into power.
Trump should just come clean and admit that he plans to betray Ukraine.
He already said as much before the election and people still voted him in. He also stated he's cool with leveling Gaza, and called Netanyahu and told him no deal until after the election, that way he can give Israel carte blanche and claim the credit for "ending the war" (ignoring the complete genocide of the Palestinians).
Given that last time they weren't even real proper investigations, they were directed by the White House and didn't actually look into things (in spite of Trump saying otherwise repeatedly), this is really only saving unnecessary spending.
Well, the FBI agents are still getting paid and they are paying private investigators so I'm pretty sure these fake investigations are costing even more than the other fake investigations did.
Maybe because the whole fucking thing is a rat king of tangled conflicts of interest. If I were them I wouldn't want anyone with half a spine to so much as look at me.
When you can’t drain the swamp, stuff the swamp with more swamp until unlimited swamp.
Of course je did. How else is he going to appoint criminals and people with conflicts of interest ?
Well call this process "efficient" and say that Musk came up with it in his big brain
#TeamAsteroid ...
do we really even need to do a background check on gaetz to know that he’s a bad idea? i’m pretty sure they’d find even more skeletons if they background checked him, but there should already be more than enough information to know he’s a bad candidate.
Crashing the country with no survivors.
