Yachting Randy is Back!
You guys remember Yachting Randy Neugebauer – the west Texas congressman we love around here. Randy bought a yacht with his campaign funds which is kinda strange since he lives in the desert, was the guy who chewed out the national park service ranger on tv for doing her job during the government shutdown that he voted for, yelled “baby killer” at a Democratic congressman during a debate, and called US border detention centers the lap of lovely, and a whole mess of other stuff including how the hell did his son, Toby, become a billionaire.
Children at a border detention center.
Randy retired from congress but he’s baaaaack.
Donald Trump is considering Randy to head up the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau, Elizabeth Warren’s old job. Did you hear me? The Consumer Financial Protection Bureau. Why aren’t you hollering and stomping?
Hell, people, you could not trust that guy with a dime. He will steal the gold out of your teeth. Plus, he’s crazier than an internationally syndicated Donald Trump tweet. He’s got loco camped out in his eyeballs.
Serving as a watchdog over the financial marketplace, the agency has returned nearly $12 billion to 27 million consumers who have fallen victim to predator scams, stemming from more than a million consumer complaints.
Republicans in Congress have regularly complained about the agency because they claim it unfairly targets small businesses without effective oversight, and some have sought to eliminate it.
Well, putting Randy is charge will certainly eliminate it.
Excuse me while I go put some ice on my forehead after I banged it on the table.
One more week of “thanks Obama” said with much affection, sometimes a little wry, and always with respect.
Buckle down for the transition. #NoThanksDonnie Hilz spoke of his “basket of deplorable.” She misspoke. Really. She did. While many of the Donnie supporters did represent the worst instincts of man, they’re adorable compared to the ‘best’ with which Donnie is inclined to surround himself. Exhibit #83 – Randy.
Maybe weeks or months of this #NoThanksDonnie to come. But if anyone in Congress, including the snacilbupeR, has a shred of survival instinct, Donnie’s grift train will come to a screeching halt.
Latest Donnie family member exposed, Jared. Between his 666 place funded with illegal money from Iran and his slumlord rent control busting practices, it seems Jared can’t wait to flee NYC. Donnie and the boys may think they’re leaving the mob and the NY Russian mob behind them. But only to run into little Vlad’s not so loving KGB arms.
It’s not overly optimistic to think that Inauguration Day will far surpass Urineguration Day to become round up day.
1Like many of Trump’s other appointees, it’s nothing that can’t be solved with a minor name change of the agency to reflect new policy. In Randy’s case:
Consumer Financial Extraction Bureau
Why, a couple of days worth of additional credit card fees alone could pay for a wall with Mexico, if the banks were in charge of building a wall.
2Why does the image of “fox” and “hen house” keep popping up with every Drumpf appointment?
3Congressional wingnuts are investigating the investigators who are trying to investigate and document Drumpf’s criminal history.
4These damn liberal websites just never understand markets. What is so wrong about selling Protection?
5Ya gotta love the Rs. If, in their opinion, something isn’t working right, why, you just get rid of it, amirite? Seems to apply to everything they do, including marriage. Out with the old…
Why, you might ask? Because they don’t know how to fix anything. Oh, yeah, they are terrific at screwing things up, but haven’t a clue how to fix.
Sigh.
6@JAKvirginia#6- The reverse is also true, especially for snacilbupers when it comes to protections for the working or anybody they might consider an underclass, if it’s working right get rid of it. All of the Don’s pisspoor( pun, if there’s one there intended, nominations) show it.
7I just like it that the address is 666….
8Somebody needs to explain this whole thing to Donnie. (Joe Biden could, but I don’t want to subject that good man to the likelihood of blowing a gasket.) There are a lot of government departments and divisions, and you’re supposed to put people in charge of them who DON’T want to destroy them. You keep screwing that up, Donnie. Now go back and start over. Better yet, turn the whole thing over to somebody who knows what the frack they’re doing. You go back to NYC and polish your portraits or something. Jeez….
9JJ – Randy’s from Lubbock, not East Texas. I know my West Texas lunatics, believe me.
10Thank you, Kathy. I know he’s from Lubbock so I have no idea why I typed east instead of west. I’ll go fix it in the story. Yeah, the deserts of east Texas!
11Well, I would like to think he has reached and scraped the bottom of the barrel with this…but I fear there is an endless supply of incredibly unqualified people.
12Looks like lots of Texas rejects will eventually end up in the Trump illegitimate administration. I’m with John Lewis, I cannot accept his legitimacy as president These morons will do more harm in four years than all Republican administrations pu together, and that includes Nixon’s. We have a madman in charge.
13Cheetolini isn’t appointing a Cabinet and department heads, he’s assembling a wrecking crew, and the Republicans are cheering him on. If any of them in Congress have an ounce of self-preservation or respect for the country, this would be a great time to show it. Instead, they’re handing the President- Elect (ptui!) a can of gasoline and a pack of matches and smiling broadly. I can’t understand who they think is going to thank them when the place is wisps of smoke and ashes.
14Well dang, JJ, don’t sugar coat things. Tell us how you REALLY feel about this POS (piece o’ s#@t — sorry Momma):
“Hell, people, you could not trust that guy with a dime. He will steal the gold out of your teeth. Plus, he’s crazier than an internationally syndicated Donald Trump tweet. He’s got loco camped out in his eyeballs.”
Donald is scraping the bottom of the cesspool for his cabinet people. Although, according to my husband, in a cesspool the big clumps float to the top, so I guess that makes it easy for Donnie to fish them out.
15This hasn’t improved my days outlook.
16Could be worse
17Could have Louis hunting for his asparagus over there
It almost seems as though it would have been a good idea to elect Hillary Clinton instead, doesn’t it?
Liberals have the numbers. We have the issues. Clinton certainly has the better character.
All of which means nothing if liberals don’t turn out and vote for the Dem candidate. Anybody in a state that Trump won who could have voted for Clinton and didn’t might want to think twice next time. (Or at least once.)
And if Dems would remember how to fight dirty when the other side does that would help too. We need to stop losing elections.
18bud, it didn’t do much for me either.
19LynnN, Dems did turnout and vote in Michigan for Hillary but 75,000 of this e votes disappeared into the hands of some kind of a Republican election official who decreed the votes to be “damaged” and therefore no good. This votes came from the Detroit and Flint areas.
20Way to say, Maggie!
21As for cheatin’ lying ole Randy, well hell hath no fury like cheated consumers. Tar and feathers, anyone? And don’t forget the torches and pitchforks.
