I’m sort of kidding…but I wouldn’t be surprised if the chartered private jets weren’t somehow owned by Trump.

I guess this means the Tesla he had assigned to his driver for trips to Starbucks might be frowned upon.

C’mon give the dude a break, Betsy DeVos one of his subordinates flies around in her own private jet, you can’t expect the boss to fly coach while she’s doing that. How would that look? It’s just a few Hundred Grand over a few months. Take health care away from a couple thousand of the poors and its covered.

A Tesla? In this badministration? You’re kidding, right?

If anything, they all have stretch Hummers that get <5 mpg. With drivers, of course.

Electric cars are so librul…

Oh, and these fine christain people can take great pride in the spike in miscarriages as the result of poisoning the water of Flint, MI in the name of austerity.

Pro-life my ass.

And the laughs just keep coming today, don’t they?

Hope all the Trump-Scum have a good weekend while they’re being probed, subpoenaed, indicted, or worrying about any of the above.

Donnie is going to be so disappointed when he learns there weren’t any Russian hookers on those flights.

The HHS IG investigation makes a lovely bookend for the SEC investigation of Price’s insider trading.

“Price’s taste for charter trips has cost taxpayers at least $300,000.”

And his taste for billionaire brown-eye is gonna cost 21 million of 'em their healthcare.

Along with the lives of their spouses, parents, and children.

But, hey, you wanna make a tax-cut omelet for the Ăśberrich, you gotta break a few million sick-kid eggs.

That reminded me of the time Dennis Hastert held a presser touting fuel efficient vehicles. He then crammed his fat ass into a hybrid and … rode around the corner where, with great effort, he extracted himself and hopped into an armored Chevy Suburban and drove off.

So glad to see that our alt-Secretary of HHS values his own convenience and luxury more than the people’s healthcare. What a model of pubic service Price is (ugh!)

So either the IG is sick of working for Price and volunteered to get fired, or somebody on the Top floor has been looking for an excuse to get rid of him.

at least 24 times since May, at the cost of at least $300,000

Averaging $12,500 per flight or trip? That number is significantly light. The actual figure is likely more than twice that number.

What struck me about this announcement was

but may encompass other issues related to the travel

Did he have hookers and blow on board? Industry execs? Confidential informants?
