Trump chose all of these unqualified morons for his "cabinet", because they are all "hot reality show celebrities and podcast hosts", and he just loves being surrounded by that shit. The ONLY thing that these idiots have done...is party and travel on OUR dime!

The US is now the most corrupt government on earth. It's not only blatant. It's OMG we are making a TV Show blatant. I don't know between this or 1 billion in reparations for J6 INSURRECTIONISTS what is worse. We are a joke as a country at this point.

I wonder, did we pay him a salary while he vacationed for 7 months? All of these MAGA Republicans are looting the US government. Put them all in jail.

My BFF and I rented a Mitzubishi Outlander (candy apple red) and drove about 2200 miles to see our grandkids for Christmas because I WILL NOT get on a plane with these BUFFOONS in office. We arrived 5 hours before my third granddaughter was born. This country is FUCKIN' AMAZING. COULDN'T DO IT NOW!

Wouldn't it be nice if big corporate billionaires paid for a cross-country road trip for every single one of us who live in This country. They can afford it. And it would be a wonderful experience for our kids and grand kids.

Who didn't get to sponsor Sean Duffy? * Trojan condoms, because who can only have nine kids? "You ain't seen nothing yet, baby!!" * Twinkies. They backed out when they realized the family's food and beverage budget would bankrupt the entire snack industry.

They don't even bother to try to hide the corruption anymore. Everyone in this administration believes they are untouchable. Just keep in mind that Nixon may not have gone to prison, but his Attorney General did. When Trump is gone, there will be a reckoning.

This is the concluding post to my thread on the crisis of corporate citizenship, the radical legal fiction that a balance sheet has the same constitutional liberties, protections, and voice as a living, breathing human being. The corporate psychopaths ruin all they see bsky.app/profile/aste...

17/ They bought themselves a superior psychopath. By funding a populist, authoritarian vehicle like trump, corporate power realized it could bypass the need to trick us with good citizenship. They weaponized a fascist aesthetic to achieve the exact same corporate goals, only much much faster.

EVERY DEMOCRAT EVERYWHERE, EVERY-TIME AND FOR EVERYTHING MUST LEAD THEIR COMMENTS WITH: THIS IS CORRUPTION….(fill in the blank) IT’S A BIPARTISAN ISSUE THAT EVERY AMERICAN DESPISES AND CAN HEY BEHIND.

Caught heat? Duffy should be catching more than heat, what an incompetent asshole. He is entitled, has no ability, no clue, shirks responsibility, and accountability. This is a metaphor for Trump's entire administration and extended family.

We all know the government is totally corrupt under Trump. The outrageous problem is our representatives are part of the corruption. COMPLICIT! I am an advocate of voting them out- if they allow us to vote! We need to think of this as our Waterloo!!

It’s easy enough to avoid supporting their greed and short-sightedness in the face of hunger and imposed poverty by this administration. *give them the TARGET TREATMENT.

However much the donations as up to you know it’ll turn out to be a great return on investment for them. Is there no law that allows shareholders of publicly listed companies to restrict political donations?

Duffy: "This is just a continuation of the show I was on back in the 90s called Road Rules. The difference is I get paid more for this and I don't have to follow a script." "Oh, and I deserve this vacation because it's hard work thinking up ways to criticize the previous administration."

Does it matter 'how much' was donated by sponsors? Even a little bit of $ (considering the incestuous relationship between all of the parties) would have been very concerning in another time. In the time of trump? Anything goes! (as long as he makes money).

"When" we take back our government, Trump Republicans will surely be ranked amongst THE most corrupt government in US history. Republicans have torn down all accountability, guard rails and any semblance of honor and decency Americans have grown to expect of their government.

Women are the ones who supposed to be of sound mind in 5he family. They make the money decisions for the home while Sean is at work. The plumber, gardener, the roofer and done by the wife with the husband's overview. So why did Mrs. Duffy allow something like this which is Cleary a character issue.

Normal American citizens rent a car or van, schedule efficiency hotels, make sandwiches in their rooms, and carefully select 1 restaurant meal a day. * Car rental (SUV, 5): $1100 * Gas: Ave $4.25 per gallon * 2500-3300 miles (100 gal, $425) * 8 days of travel * $60-100 a day * Hotels $689 - $1300

This misses the point about his NOT actually performing his job while on his extended vacation. And the hypocrisy of the Republicans who remain quiet on this while they were pretty vocal when Buttigieg took a little time off for paternity leave.

I won't watch. But I'd be interested to know how "entitled" that group acts as they take this trip. You can say, "well Steve, it's not on the taxpayer's dime." But my taxes are paying that asshole to showboat and lollygag????

Sean Duffy needs to count this road trip as his VACATION TIME! IF HE RUNS OUT OF VACATION TIME (WHICH IS PROBABLE), HE NEEDS TO NOT RECEIVE ANY SALARY FOR THE TIME HE TOOK OFF! AS HE WAS GONE FROM HIS JOB FOR AN EXTENDED PERIOD, MAYBE WE JUSY DON'T NEED HIM. WHAT WE DO NEED IS SOMEONE WHO SHOWS UP!!

Duffy and his GRIFTER FAMILY! 🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤑🤑🤑🤑🤑🤑🤑 💰💰💰💰💰💰 Sean, are you teaching your little Republican children, how to be rip off CRIMINALS?!!! Yes!

I know they not thinking reality show? F no wtf these ppl think they are? F that Trump, Maxwell n Jeffrey victims should get that lawsuit n reality show.

Does anyone else not GAS (like me) WTF Duffy does or doesn't do? I guarantee I WON'T watch any show about it! C'mon people, get real. It was a grift for a trip paid for on taxpayer's dime! We all know it. Grifting...it's what they all do. It's all they CAN do!

When they won't say, it means that something illegal or "in bad taste" was going on! GET RID OF CITIZENS UNITED! It is the source of evil in government!

When I was a federal employee, one scientist got suspended and almost fired because he took his wife along on a field trip. She added no cost, as he was already driving and staying in a hotel. But she was not authorized. It was a huge issue. This administration is not following ANY rules or laws.

They're so unethical and corrupt. Used to be (like, before Jan 20, 2025), Government officials could not accept gifts or meals from contractors or prospective contractors with a value of more than $25. But this Regime shamelessly has no problem accepting travel expenses, etc., worth Millions.

I'm beginning to think that this was all planned. Trump purposely appointed the most useless garbage that he could find to these extremely serious departments because he KNEW how badly they would run them.

Like so much from this administration it's a waste of taxpayer money. They can't even get efficiency right. They made DOGE when we already had GAO which did the same thing Trump and his entire wasteful administration needs to be removed so we can solve his mess the Trump Oil Crisis because he won't

Over the hill mtv fools trying to relive their glory days Whining nonstop about his predecessor who took off to stay with a sick kid I don’t give a crap who paid for his trip WE are paying his fkn salary to do nothing Fk that couple and the example they set for their offspring

Did he cash his US taxpayer funded federal payroll checks while doing so? Enjoy medical coverage? Is he pulling NASA payroll/out too at this point? Think that’s more what he is “catching heat for”from his constituents-in this economy Beyond the “CitizensUnited”fueled usual corporate kleptocracy
