Vought is another example of the fraudulent, bankrupt, so-called "Christian" right. His obsession with putting hard working public servants out of work is weird and creepy. Does firing people that help people give him an erection?

"Vought’s piety is matched only by his passionate loathing for government employees…"

I would amend this to "loathing for elites." Vought is the premier example of the counter-elite whose animus toward the class that rendered him "uncool" will be his undoing.

No wonder he did that fear the reaper in glasses commercial. Hoping to attract a pliable mate no doubt about it. This is the best and worst comic book I ever read and it never ends. It hurts but there are laughs.

Conclusion: The American White House staff, cabinet as well as the Oval Office’s unhinged occupant all need a 24 hour on duty Psychiatrist to help this disturbed emotionally and mentally cabal of liars. Do any of these people have a conscience, empathy or any form of emotionally maturity? Talk about a collective of cold hearted hypocrites and misfits. The power given to this angry revengeful now the MAGA red hat cult leaders wearing crosses as a shield has lead to rampage of corruption which has resulted in a Constitutional crisis. All in the name of God? Wealthy misfits who finally got a seat at the highest table in the land to strut and crow ..just look at me now suckers.

Hi Nina, newbie here. Loving your snark. Please stay on Vought. After reading this post, I pulled images of him and of Walters, and man, the meme just made itself. I mean, could anyone blame Mary Grace for moving on? Still, she has the aura of a Mary Kay consultant who's just made director, so I'm intrigued by developments in this tacky Nat-C soap opera. More please.

Russ Vought out here living the full MAGA rom-com — budget slasher by day, Mar-a-Lago bachelor by night. Divorce decree in 20 days? That’s faster than a SNAP denial. And Trump playing wingman? Bro, this administration’s got more plot twists than a telenovela.

But let’s be real: when your ex-wife’s consulting firm is cashing taxpayer checks while your boss is matchmaking you with Botox Barbie, maybe it’s time to stop calling yourself a “public servant” and start calling it what it is — American Freakshow: The Series.

Scumbags through and through. Fourth estate cucked into silence. Disgusting. I think one of the most disqualifying metrics in the fourth state this go round since Joe McCarthy, is Margaret Brennan. Once a towering interviewer she has now been turned into a cooked puppet by Ellison. So fucking disgusting.

Maybe a note to her letting her know people 'see her'.

Wow! The poor behavior and subsequent projection among the R movers and shakers is mind-boggling. Why are we at the mercy of such low-quality people who are always criticizing and persecuting people who aren't harming them? Is this narcissism--or another pathology? God help us.

He should get some alright! Some time in jail, some time being ignored, some time in therapy, some time actually working for a living….

Mary Vought, according to this article, is an “assumed member” of the Council of National Policy, CNP. She’s listed as an ASSUMED MEMBERS.” They are not included in the “1,011” count. Their membership is not listed in CNP documents, but they appear on the Conservative Action Project website with many other CNP members. The Conservative Action Project is a CNP operation.

PS It really sounds like Trump is pimping out his staff to ladies at Mar Lago. Ugh.
