2. Drumpf administration, killing American citizens for profit and fun

Wonder what Zinkes good friend and neighbor gave him to get this contract and the no review clause, was it $$ upfront and a percent of the profits, just one or the other? You know the % of profits is definitely part of it, hence the contract language.

With the new Hillary BS, I'm just done. I can't watch MSNBC or CNN now, I get physically ill when I see/hear how Russia and the rich are getting everything they want and fucking over the rest of us so very hard. The press is so negligent, ignoring the existentential crisis for the BS distractions orange assface throws up on a daily basis. No one is covering the fact that Medicare and Medicaid just took huge hits, trillions of dollars of cuts! Where is the outrage? Why is no one covering this critical information? The budget with these killing cuts PASSED ALREADY! OMG!

4. I'm only recently learning that this isn't out of the ordinary for some...

American businesses these days.

I always thought that an acquaintance of mine ran a sign company. You know, designing, manufacturing, selling, maintaining....

Turns out, the only thing his company really does is sell them. EVERYTHING else is contracted out to other companies.

So, when people say that American businesses don't make anything any more, in some cases, they are right.

6. The Putin model of Kleptocracy

Now in the USA.

And the RepubliCON House and Senate are complicit if they say nothing, culpably negligent if they do nothing.

Now, please excuse me. The tines on my pitchfork need sharpening!

9. it keeps getting worse

is no one watching them?

10. This is straight from Dolt45's modus operandi.

Scam banks for loans and investors for capital where he takes what he needs off the top for himself and whatever is left over is used for whatever endeavor he is pursuing. These Montana con-artists are going to do the same thing with this contract until the money is spent. They each probably take $5 million off the top for themselves and use the other $290 million for the companies they subcontract to do the actual work. With their obvious connections it's easy money.

11. The GOP are this guy:

12. This kind of private sector efficiency job creating

will get people killed.

Since the company would have to hire people for this contract, why not have some local Puerto Ricans be a part of it? Everyone knows they need jobs.

What kind of food and housing costs $400 a day?

13. Yeah but does Zinke know the OTHER GUY?

Two people. No audit. Total bullshit.

[FailureToCommunicate]

14. AND Zinke's son works for the company!
