I know, I know, Harding, Jackson, Grant and probably others we haven’t unearthed yet - but this really is the filthiest government we’ve ever had.

You’ll get no argument from me. We get a Teapot Dome daily now, so I think this administration clearly takes the Styrofoam cake.

Another day, another impeachable offense or scandal.

“Watchdog”, synonymous with political operative.

It’s the brazenness of it all that I find particularly hard to stomach. If only there were some other branch of government that could investigate this corruption…call me a dreamer.

Just when you think they can’t get any sleazier then they whip out the giant-sized jar of SleazeOil and lather themselves up again. Really need some oversight committees here. But as long as the crooks have control of the House kiss that option good bye.

Maybe if we can flip the House in November then the folks with the purse (House of Representatives) will just shut off the monies to those department heads who keep pulling this shit.

Intentionally leaving vital seats in govt unoccupied… only to then fill with way underqualified personnel… how is the US supposed to function with such happenings? We are totally being crippled from within

It seems odd that no one has picked up on the fact that the DOI hasn’t had a fully operational Inspector General in TEN YEARS.
