Remember how all the conservative apes kept repeating "waste, fraud, and abuse. waste, fraud, and abuse" and grinning like brainless cult members while "doge" was doing their smash-and-grab?

I wonder if this is waste or fraud or abuse?

We're way beyond that. They're just looting now.

What do you call demanding a quarter billion dollars from your billionaire minions, tearing down an entire wing of the White House, pocketing the money, and then leaving it unfinished?

About the most redneck thing possible. I'm surprised we don't have an old jalopy up on blocks in the front yard.

This really is the white trash presidency. Stephen Miller wants everyone brown and black out of the country or at least under the boot of his personal authority. Which is true trailer trash/small dick energy if I've ever seen it.

Taco himself is basically Cousin Eddie, but with money. The only thing he's missing is a shitty RV with a golden toilet and dumping the tank into the water runoff out in front of the WH.

As I always say anytime that ghoul Loomer shows up in the news: it’s wild she’s only in her early thirties.

The surgery on her face is like she's playing a weird game playing some weird game...

[–] LordMayor@piefed.social 7 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

She looks like someone killed her years ago and is wearing her face as a mask.

[–] CharlesDarwin@lemmy.world 2 points 3 weeks ago

All I can say when I see her is that I see the Saw thing.

The other is that for a "movement" that seems obsessed with trans, and has many of them quite convinced that Michelle Obama really is "Michael", has a dong, etc.... it's awfully weird that it's this person that is an "influencer" among the conservatives? Just sayin'.

I wonder if this is in any way tied to the news of Russia firing "nuclear capable" missile into Ukraine. Maybe that was a warning the next one will have a live warhead. If this government knew something like that was coming, they would definitely try and keep it secret as long as possible.

[–] green_red_black@slrpnk.net 24 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

Nah.

As much as it seems more logical the truth is not any genuine concern. They just want to flex and figure the “Doomsday plane.” Is a far more bombastic ride to arrive in then a standard government plane

I agree: it's probably because Kegsbreath has a tiny wang.

[–] BarneyPiccolo@lemmy.today 2 points 3 weeks ago

They ALL have tiny wangs, it's their primary motivation. It's why they like youngsters, who don't know about wang size yet.

[–] Clent@lemmy.dbzer0.com 14 points 3 weeks ago

My guess is this Hegseth flexing. Any one in this position of leadership could have done this but none of them were so low class that they would have.
