Guy needs to spank out his debit card. If he can't find his debit card, he should look in the grill of the bus that just flattened his silly behind.
This whole time I was actually calling him Moldy. I really wasn't doing it on purpose but now I think it fits.
Ha!!!
The really comical thing is, the bus that flattened him, he was driving.
self-relieved of command after an error in relieving another of command. oh, the irony...
I thought this jag-off was supposed to be some kind of financial genius. I guess not so much.
Oh come on. We all know that donald himself is a financial genius.
All one has to do is declare bankruptcy. Then again...and again...
This jackoff was more concerned with pleasing the don father than actually doing his job.
I expressed as much to some one and he said so what?
Then deflected to what Obama spent,lol.
at least they've given up on the "playing all that golf on the taxpayer's dime" tirades.
$243,000 on our tab to make a fool out of himself and get canned.
Frickin' classic.
What is almost comical, if it wasn't so sad, some people that love donald act like they can say things like he does, act like he does and it never works out.
Now why they let donald get away with it, I will never understand.
Trump said, "Take the jet. We'll repay ourselves with the ambiguous wording that I included in the stimulus package."
And with the firing of the AG of oversight for it...
I think someone should send him a bill for the trip.
Seems like a pretty clear case of a guy getting too big for his britches. And he should have known Trump would have no loyalty to him once the shit hit the fan.
There seemed to be no need for him to take the trip just to give a crappy speech.
Even if he was told or thought he needed to check it out, seems he blew it.
Sounds all around like Moldy was the one in over his head.
Why didn't he just record his message and send it to the ship? Would have been a lot cheaper
There has been a lot of that in this administration.
Yeah! trmp forgot he knows the guy
He, Moldy has become the poster boy for stupid and then following up with more stupid.
Proof positive that you can't fix stupid.
Too funny!
