And these asshats have the gall to say federal employees are the ones wasting government tax dollars...
Well yes, they're wasting the money they need to raise rivers for boat trips.
He is a federal employee, no?
I think he just assumes other people are as irresponsible with the nations purse as he is.
A federal employee isnt an elected official. He's a politician. Federal employees apply to jobs and interview for them, and get them (mostly) based on merit just like everyone else in the corporate world and elsewhere.
This guy didnt get interviewed for his job. He got hand picked bcz of things he's said and done in the past that indicate he is a piece of shit. Definitely not the same as being a federal employee.
I just turned 41 also. I didn't make a big deal about it because I am not an entitled shit head that needs validation.
This fuckface likes to vacation every other week, huh?
We should be reporting that JD owns one of the largest farm corporation that is buying up all the farms he and Trump put out of business.
What the fuck?
Please kill all rich people as quickly as possible. This is fucking bullshit.
That's not even about being rich. That's public money he is spending.
This would have destroyed an administration pre-2014
Imagine if Kamala had done this. Faux News would still be talking about it on a daily basis
They're just like us!
What a fucking asshole.
He had to do it or his family would've seen all the couches he had thrown in to the river.
James Donald Bowman is a fetid bowl of feces.
And u will deadname him in every circumstance I encounter his name.
I’m the hillbilly now. How the tables have turned.
