It's pathetic & embarrassing how the cabinet members fluff the 'president'.

[spanone]

Ass kissing at it's finest.

We are no better than North Korea.

It's shameful.

1. I can guarantee none of that nonsense goes on in America's board rooms or state cabinet meetings.

It's very, very weird.

2. Love your analogy - so true ☮

[surfered]

3. They would argue that pressing their lips to his buttocks and smooching is definitely not ass kissing.

4. Might even be an actual fluffer or two - looking at you BimboBondi and CluelessNoem.

5. Pathetic is kind

All staged down to the smiles.

6. It's inexplicable.

Usually employees suck up to a boss for fear of being fired and going broke, but these people are ultra-wealthy: (ABC) "President-elect Donald Trump has assembled the wealthiest presidential administration in modern history, with at least 13 billionaires set to take on government posts...In total, the combined net worth of the wealthiest members of his administration could surpass $460 billion."

In North Korea one would be executed for being insufficiently devoted to Dear Leader, but other than firing these billionaires, what can Trump do if they refuse to debase themselves in public?

7. Every ass kissing co-worker I ever worked with were

Republicans. They can't help themselves, it's in the Republican DNA.

[Norrrm]

8. When it's done so well, you get public recognition for it........

JD is kissing my ass

10. Kompromat makes them all trained monkeys.

Just like Putin's oligarchs.

It's an echo chamber where they all try to outdo each other with their obsequiousness. Rubio is somehow fully on board with deporting citizens to other countries. Bondi laughs and says we won't be raiding any of YOU. Evidently cowardice is contagious.

A lunatic surrounded by yes-men is a recipe for disaster.

11. It's not so bad. He pays them all 130,000 dollars apiece per fluff.

12. The good news is that I actually saw both CNN and MSNBC

call him out on it multiple times yesterday.
