She’s already in the per diem line.

“For family travel that is considered representational, not only does the family member not have to reimburse the government for the flight(s), but he or she also receives significant travel support from the Department at no cost, including provision of a control officer and many hours of support from Department employees.”

Somehow, someway, there has got to be consequences for all of the bad behavior the gop-ers have inflicted upon us all. Legal, illegal, unethical, whatever it might be. Do NOT forget their names. Or their actions.

And WE are being asked/told to respect the republicans’ feelings! I recall their merch

So f*ck their feelings.

Mike and Susan think they’re entitled to be America’s next royal couple and they’re just jumping the gun a little. Or getting warmed up. However you want to look at it.

Oh, geez, how I despise these Trump grifters. And, please, how I see the snark here so unhelpful. Sorry. I want to see our energy going forward, and not addressed at the occupants and leeches behind us. Energy to the next administration. Let the legal eagles go after the criminals, full force.

And no, Mike–you’re not ever going to be a senator from Kansas. You’ll be lucky to stay OUT OF FUCKING JAIL.
