how did they spend money during the shitdown?
Simple: they just applied Wilhoit's Law
"Conservatism consists of exactly one proposition ... There must be in-groups whom the law protects but does not bind, alongside out-groups whom the law binds but does not protect.” --Frank Wilhoit"
Did they hang people publicly after the Nuremberg trials?…asking for a friend.
And this contributes to draining the swamp how exactly?
Two more chances to end up the Prigožin-way.
second plane is to haul all that extra plastic around.
holy shit...
Yeah. That question had an answer with a References section.
what the fuck is our society doing to people that drives them to this?
not a question I expect -you- to answer, but holy hell we should be asking it loudly.
I don't recall anyone getting plastic surgery for obama or bush...
Quoth the Wikipedia article, "It's gender-affirming care the right can get behind."
I wonder how many Hitler Youth bleached their hair?
I wonder how many Hitler Youth bleached their hair?

Still got the crazy eyes in that earlier photo.
yeah but it's a kinder kind of crazy. before is 'she broke into your house and refolded all your laundry 'the right way''

there's a subtle difference
What do you mean, she's lovely! /s
ooof
you know it's gotta suck to wake up and see all that in the morning
Seems like the right thing to do after firing a bunch of people
To be fair, her department is hiring heaps of people ...
Really. So they threw out tons of experience, put themselves in a desperate situation and hired back (hopefully the same people, but likely new) people for (likely) higher salaries?
ICE got a billion dollars in funding from the big beautiful bill. They are hiring shit loads of people. They report to Noem.
Ah sht :/
Pretty much. Filtering for loyalty to Dear Leader over competence or basic integrity for all positions from top to bottom will lead to that sort of thing.
There's just not enough money to go around, guys
I would feel like a pleb if I only had one private airplane. Like a barely rich hobo. They should have gotten her three to be honest.
Why two? Does she have a clone we don't know about? Or is the other plane just for carrying her wardrobe?
Makeup crew
They'd need a cargo jet for that.
Maybe she's trying to become besties with Tay-Tay? 🤷
So she can fly Trump to Epstein's island again?
