Oh Sure, That’ll Work
So Trump thinks he doesn’t need an independent watchdog overseeing the expenditure of $2 trillion in emergency coronavirus funding.
I do not trust this sumbitch with lunch money and he wants to oversee $2 trillion. I can damn well promise you that $1.999 trillion will end up in Jared’s bank account. Or Rudy Giuliani will eat it.
Fine’s removal marks Trump’s latest attack on the world of independent federal oversight..Since Friday, Trump has fired the Intelligence Community inspector general who informed Congress of the whistleblower complaint that led to his impeachment and attacked the Health and Human Services inspector general who found vast concerns at hospitals over supply shortages amid the coronavirus pandemic..The Democratic chairwoman of the House Oversight Committee, Rep. Carolyn Maloney of New York, called Fine’s removal “a direct insult to the American taxpayers — of all political stripes — who want to make sure their tax dollars are not squandered on wasteful boondoggles, incompetence, or political favors.”
Good Lord, Boondoggles, Incompetence, and Political Favors are his middle name, or the names of his three children, I can’t remember which.
Trump knows we still haven’t seen his tax returns, so why not try and hide $2 trillion from us as well?
The only question is, will he upgrade that gold toilet with platinum, or palladium?
1“Boondoggles, Incompetence, and Political Favors are his middle name … ” could also be the names of his* 3 wives. “Boondoggles” would be a cute name … for a puppy.
Sean O’Donnell moved from DOJ to EPA and now this. Crikey! He may be an even bigger wrecking ball than Rexxon Drillerson. Fresh from relieving us of the clean air we would like to breath, Sean is ready to relieve us of our money, too. Dude doesn’t even have a wiki page. Bets as to who he knew in college (1) Jughead (2) Dimwit Jr. (3) Err Er What’s his name (4) Ivodka (5) write in candidate or (6) Mary Daly.
2Would it be too much of a pipe dream to imagine that the members of the political organization that laughably calls itself the Grand Old Party would somehow find their consciences now and demand that he follow the law?
Academic question, I know, but we can still dream. Or have we lost the ability to do that, too?
3BFSMan, to expect Republicons to have a conscience is not a “pipe dream.” It would be a hallucination of the worst trip evuh. Main objection to otherwise “nice guy” Biden is his delusion that he can work in a bi-partisan fashion with Republicons. Don’t expect Joe Biden or any Democratic candidate to track 100% with our thoughts. Hell, Harry Reid was our Senator for years, so we’re “practiced” at this. Joe, really Buddy, we’ll vote for you absent another choice, but dang fella, we’ll feel a whole lot better about it, if you’d throw that anchor of bi-partisan naivete overboard. Think Obama; you remember right, Joe? OK then, give Republicons every “inch” and civility they gave President Obama, then smack them for good measure. We’ll be OK, Joe.
4The only thing I can believe from this is that every, every Republican shares his ideas and is in on the scams.
5This maladministration is claiming that delusional (faith) based enterprises qualify for money from the demented ones new $2 trillion slush fund.
6Waiting to see if they will be replacing drops in sunday collection baskets with our tax dollars.
Word is prosperity scam artists ( Paula White, Oral Roberts, Joel Osteen, et.al.) are licking their chops at all the free money they hope to get.
