We live in a town where we can get 95% of any family's needs. The other 5% is out of reach with the price...

.. of gas and car maintenance. SEAN DUFFY, FAA SEC, and his wife are taking his nine kids on a nationwide trip that only the millionaires and billionaires can afford. While the rest of us do the day-to-day work to keep communities running and safe, so they and only they can afford it.

We live in a town 60 miles or less from where Duffy was raised. All the towns in this region are struggling to keep their business running. And our town has been a vacation spot, but not anymore. On a short drive around our town, you see empty parking lots at restaurants and hotels because they lack "vacationers." Additionally, you see long-running family businesses closing their doors as they have lost customers and lost value for resale or to pass on to their kids.

Duffy and his wife may return to their jobs with the 10th kid on the way. THANKS TO THEIR TIME OFF! WHILE STILL BEING PAID!

Oh, did I mention his wife is a longtime FOX News talking head, while nannies have always cared for the kids?

By degree, I am a biologist. I value all life. I had to put off a home repair project because there was a nest of eggs and a sitting parent on the ladder steps.

YET As I see it, Republicans ONLY care about money and themselves. Their actions prove this point. Every day and every moment, they are in charge.

If we ALL don't get out and vote them out of power, we, ESPECIALLY YOUR KIDS AND GRAND KIDS, WILL BE THE ONES WHO SUFFER.

Stop believing their LIES. IGNORE THEIR SUGGESTION THAT NO TAX DOLLARS ARE BEING SPENT. DUFFY HAS A FEDERAL JOB. HE WAS NOMINATED BY TRUMP (aka tst) AND THE SENATE APPROVED. WHO IS DOING HIS JOB WHILE HE IS ON EXTENDED VACATION AND COLLECTING HIS PAY CHECK AND BENEFITS?

1. One tiny nit-pick; Duffy wasn't elected, tsf nominated him and the Senate approved.

2. Thank you, I stand corrected. I will fix the error!

3. ...

[Wiz Imp]

11. He was, however, previously elected to Congress

Where he served from 2011 to 2019. He was not remotely qualified for that job either.

4. ;-{) Fascist Vacation

[Bobstandard]

5. Cabinet Secretary. Great gig. No oversight

The boss is too distracted to notice if you don’t show up for work. The folks who report to you are happy when you’re gone so they too can screw off. All the mid level staff who actually kept the lights on got doge’d out. MAGA loves that government doesn’t work. An absent, disengaged cabinet secretary can hold his head high at conservative conferences and take credit for a win.

6. MAGA

Making American Government Abolished

7. He's as much an embarrassment to WI as

ron johnson is.

[mgardener]

8. His salary

Is $250,000.
We paid a man 250,000 to take his family on vacation.

[QED]

9. I think they are in the quiverfull movement

10 kids! Barefoot and pregnant for the womenfolk

[BonnieJW]

10. I met a woman in that movement.

She finally ended up with 13 kids.

12. Radtrad Catholic.

They have made numerous appearances on the execrable EWTN network, particularly Rachel Campos-Duffy. (She has also been one of the benchwarmers on the “Fox and Friends Sunday” show).

They have many children (nine, last I heard), par for the course when it comes to radtrads. At least one has special needs because the parents don’t “believe” in birth control (again, radtrad-ism), so they continued to have children long after it was medically safe to do so.

13. I've started referring to "The Part-Time Cabinet" because everyone in it has a side gig that's more important to them.

Of course, I still use the phrase "Cabinet of Deplorables" from time to time -- it depends on context.

I supporse "Part-Time Cabinet of Deplorables" would work, but that's a lot of typing.
