Mar-a-Lago (Sea to Lake) is in reality the ultimate pantano, swamp.

I think you misspelled ā€œruiningā€ in the title.

My ability to be surprised has been burned out. Disgusted on the other handā€¦

Susan Sarandon can explain it all.

Even in the age of Trump, this is shocking.

Even President Warren G. Harding would blanche!

Thank you, mattinpa. Iā€™m a veteran, and have worked for the VA for a very long time. This dreck makes me ill.

Iā€™m sure none of you ever imagined that owner (or his equivalent) would end up running the country.

If the populace would just refuse to volunteer for the military, and refuse en masse to respond to the resulting reinstitution of the draft, we wouldnā€™t have need for the VA.

And I wouldnā€™t have to stand and clap and salute and express my gratitude 15 goddamned times during every sporting event I attend.

You know, back in the old days, when rich executives went to run government departments, they did it openly, and quite their former jobs to do it. None of this ā€œletā€™s only meet in person when absolutely necessaryā€ attempt at tradecraft.

Weā€™re working right where I live to send one more Democrat to the House. Iā€™m going to try and do volunteer work for others in the area. Itā€™s good to know Iā€™m talking right to someone who could be helped by a flipped House and serious investigations into this. Makes it personal, you know? So hang in there, a lot of good people are rising up.

What is with these assholes like Shulkin putting an almost religious spin on this stuff. Meeting w/ the three weasels was a gift? And truly a blessing as well, Iā€™m sure.

So true. Once Dems rule the House they can see to it the VA runs like a fine Swiss watch, just like it did during the Obama administration.

Well instead of Moskowitz Iā€™m surprised it wasnā€™t David Pecker.

Nah! he pushed back a little to hard on the immediate ā€œprivatizationā€ drive. That drive designed to suck as much resources from the VA as possible into their pockets. Then to declare one of the few government agencies that works well a failure.

All three should be declared advisors to the President and as such, ALL of their communications should be subject to FOIA requests
