Remember the “no-show” jobs with local unions that the Soprano relatives cashed in on? Well there are a LOT of them now ensconced in the Trumpy maladministration. Just one more way this Prez closely resembles a Mob boss and not the head of a country…

I wish I could see answers to this other than having the Republican party wake up one day and realize that the only way for the U.S. to be a country that works for its people and gets any real respect in the world is for them to burn their own party to the ground and start over. …
But of course they aren’t going to do that – since running this Trump-led shithole scam is the way they make money (and, I guess, get the thrill of wallowing in their own contempt for humanity)…
Has any population in history ever actually turned on their leaders out of horror and disgust at their level of corruption? Has any opposition party actually led such a charge or even made a significant stab at doing so? Has any population ever actually risen up against corruption without immediately being mowed down and put back into submission by the criminals’ thug army? .

While the GOP and FOX are fulminating against the Biden folks for doing what we all know was done during most of the Reagan administration, actual coverage of what the Trump administration has been doing has shrunk to following the daily foibles of Kristi, Bobby Jr., Kash, Elon and Petey as if their gaffes were the problem, rather than the systematic dismantling of basic regulation and government services.
To paraphrase the Solon of Iowa, “We’re all going to die,” except a lot sooner than we otherwise would have.

If the article is about Billy Long why did TPM lead with a photo of Baron Harkonnen?

I disagree with that characterization. At least Dew Schnozzels perform a function.

The answer is to kill the GOP entirely, preferably with wooden stakes in their hearts, silver bullets in their heads and then buried 20 feet deep underneath a garlic farm.

Fascism and corruption go together.

The government can’t do anything. Government employees are mostly thieves, and worthless at best. Elect Republicans, and they’ll prove it to you.

Republicans are the laziest people on earth. They spend every minute of every day complaining about one think or another. Not one of them is capable of rolling up their sleeves and doing any hard decision-making. Kristie Noem plays dress-up, Hegseth fiddles around on Signal and re-naming ships, and Patel fires employees. Kennedy is the most productive - issues BS bulletins all day long.

You haven’t seen clips of Bernie and AOC? Tim Walz, Maxwell Frost, Raskin, et al? Have you personally attended a town hall or protest?

Sanders, AOC, and Walz, yes - but 3 out of all the Dem politicians. There needs to be a vast staff meeting and directions for politicians to start putting bills forward and talking with and meeting people. Not 3 stars visiting other states, but the Senators, Congressmen and their staff getting back to their state and doing public, ground level work. Also Warren, whom I regard as a champion, is still out there protesting the financial corruption.

So, you’re complaining about their length of my list? Really?
Heads must be separated from bodies and buried in different places. Like, say the bod at the 13th green and the head under a toilet at Mar-a-Taco. Just sayin.

No-show jobs, straight out of the Mafia handbook, which Trump is very familiar with.

They got the TITLE but don’t know how to do the job nor do they WANT to. They are yes boys who are happy to concede to the Oligarchs in exchange for money and perceived ‘power’.
