If you wanted more waste, fraud, and abuse, you would fire them.

Oh goodness, this s**t show just keeps getting stranger and stranger!

What a crazy list of potential appointees. I don’t feel as if any of them possess the necessary experience, knowledge, and credentials.

I’m new here too. Just can’t stomach X any more!

I just left X too. That guy and his powerful friend worry me. Hello Bluesky!
