This is “government efficiency” according the galaxy-brained conservatives.

I don’t know how these alienation of affection laws work, but I would hope the spouse involved in the affair would also have to pay since it’s not like they don’t have any agency, either.

And yeah, I get your point about the marriage thing - if one of the people in the marriage decides to go fucking around, their spouse should have the option to cut that short without being buried in bills for it - the cheater should have to pay it all, and if the person they cheated with is also made to pay, that make sense, too.

Did they publish an unflattering picture of Petey Kegsbreath?

Ha ha! No way I’d ever win even a low-level office; I’m not much for the small talk, I am a terrible speaker, and not great at pressing of the flesh and so on.

Also, I really have no business doing such work - I’m not very great at time management, my people management skills are subpar, and my in-person/on the spot memory is trash. I have no background in law or politics, either.

So glad that PEDOnald pardoned all these criminals.

We really should have our tax dollars spent on having ICE tackling gardeners and disappearing them while these right wing terrorists/influencers are out there trying to pick up underage girls.

100%: that’s the kind of leader that tends to get nearly unswerving (real) loyalty and admiration from their team, too.

I’ve seen plenty of weak leadership in both private sector and in the government in my personal work life, and when you see someone that is secure enough to be humble enough to seek out and value those that are better than them at things is something to truly treasure. If they don’t have someone sabotaging them from above, that team is often a sight to behold in how much they can accomplish.

Weak leadership usually seeks out yes-men, will hire their friends, fraternity brothers, and former co-workers even when it makes no sense - will even engage in nepotism - in order to get people that will rubber stamp their activities

She’s one of those politicians that seemingly has no support from anyone and infuriates quite a lot of people.

Once she got into office and started pulling a lot of her shit, Democrats were pretty much done with her. Since she had a “D” after her name, no Republican was going to support her from the jump, of course.

Something tells me she is absolutely toxic to deal with on a personal level, too.

With nearly everything that woman did, you can just tell she thinks she is really quite something.

Well, there is a fair amount of money to be made.

Those states are: North Carolina, Mississippi, South Dakota, New Mexico, Utah, and Hawaii

Which part? The part about wanting to surround yourself with people smarter than yourself?

She seems nice.

There are a whole lot of dumbasses out there would rather have a complete idiot in power rather than someone that makes them feel stupid, or, in other words, is clearly smarter, more educated, and more capable than they are.

It’s an infuriating trait and I don’t understand it at all.

I could do a better job than this idiot, and I am self-aware and smart enough to realize I have no business being anywhere near that kind of job. I happen to want people far smarter, more experienced, more education, and more wisdom than myself in there. I don’t feel smaller by having someone better than me in there.

This is about the only job I can think of where there are certain types of idiots that cast about for non-experts for that role. You don’t people agitating to have “outsiders” in their sportsball team. You don’t see them calling for things like “term limits” on sports, either. Same for a whole host of occupations. People don’t put out ads for positions at companies seeking someone with zero experience, but who makes them feel good about their own capabilities in comparison.

But, for a role that We, The People hire for, we have this incredibly bizarre and stupid selection criteria - dumb things that include “wanting to have a beer with them”, or “running the country like a business”. Things like intelligence, capability, education, wisdom, and experience don’t seem to really matter for this hiring process.

This asshole seems incapable of humiliation.

He should be ashamed to even show up in public given what he’s done and what a dumbass he is, but I see him in front of cameras nearly daily, mugging and gesturing and holding forth, often for very long periods of time.

link doesn’t work. But I swear, these punks are some of the most loathsome pieces of shit I can think of.

I sure hope that some consequences are coming their way.

I can remember when the unhinged racist right wing would constantly jump up and down about Obama playing golf or taking the occasional trip to Hawaii.

PEDOnald can wing on down to Florida constantly and all these miserly penny-pinchers now say nothing.

This is so very well said. The Republicans are all nutless wonders. It’s in their emotional propensity for Right Wing Authoritarianism (RWA) to line up behind someone like PEDOnald.

I think he’ll be framed as the “sensible” version of “maga” (conservatism) after PEDOnald is out of the picture, and being selectively pro-peace will be part of that framing.

Even though James Bowman is worse given his associations with people like Thiel and books like The Unhumans.

Donnie Dumbass is surely bad enough and is pretty much Faux News come to life, but due to being very stupid and off-the-chart narcissistic, he’s not very ideological or very effective at bringing about the really, truly crazy shit that these demons want to do to this country.

James Bowman might be a whole other ball of wax. Thankfully his charisma level is about negative eleventy thousand.

The people that watch Faux News are the ones that are the very most supportive of this kind of thing.

If he wasn’t born rich, we’d never have heard of him.

So much this.

This guy would have been just another loudmouth jackass that you steer clear of and disinvite to any social event.
