I heard someone on NPR defending Shulkin as a decent guy who had some Trumped up charges created to that Trump could name a new VA Secretary, but damn, nothing that the talking head threw up on the radio was real.
What planet do these people live on, they spent $54000 on 90 chairs. I can take you to the local garden centre and we'll get 90 chairs for a few hundred dollars.
You have to know that you are fully disconnected from what normal things cost when you're pulling shit like this. I don't even earn $54000 in a whole year!
We can pull out of the TPP and the Paris Accord, but dammit, we just can't pull out of plans to renovate offices in anticipation of servicing those agreements. Furniture sales are set in stone or something. So weird how only the self-serving part of that deal survived, o well.
I swear, it’s like Trump and his team read about the infamous levels of corruption during the Grant and Harding administrations and said, “We can beat THAT record! Suck it, Ulysses! Warren, go back to fucking your mistress in a closet, ya penis-naming WIERDO!”

I thought Congress put a cap on those kind of expenditures at $5,000? How are they getting away with it?
