    That’s pretty much the entire Trump administration’s defining qualification: No intention to do the actual work, just to not let anyone else do it.

      “Government doesn’t work. Put me in and I’ll prove it.”

      Obviously means they want to get paid to do nothing. But idiots never put that together.

      Bruh, it’s everywhere in the government right now…

      Edit:

      Do people just think “the government” is politicians?

      It’s federal civil servants, and that’s who should have RFK jr’s job.

      trumps shit leadership, led to federal employees everywhere not giving a fuck.

          RFK Jr is in what’s supposed to be a non partisan position as a government employee.

          I was highlighting how his behavior and work ethic is widespread across the entire government right now.

          Not everything is as fucking lazy as:

          My team good, that team bad

          The fact that “teams” are relevant at all when talking about federal civilian employees is asine and shows you have no fucking idea what you’re talking about.

          Like, did you think Fauci was a Democrat?

          Did you just fall that hard for Republican propaganda you think this is how shit is supposed to work?

            All you’re doing with the “both sides” bullshit is bag holding for the nazis. Step back, realize you are part of the problem, and try again.

            Did you think Faucci was a Democrat?

            I didn’t care because he was in a non-partisan position. So long as he followed science, his personal politics didn’t matter. But that isn’t what Republicans do now.

              Is talking about the millions of federal civillian employees…

              I’m sorry I can’t communicate this in a way you can understand, but I’m sure as shit done trying.

                We all understand that the nonpartisan rank-and-file follow the cues of the partisan political appointees at the top. I’m not sure why you’re trying to downplay the fact that this erosion in behavior and work ethic is a direct result of the party in charge.

                I understand what you’re saying just fine. It’s just a stupid point. Who hires those civil servants, and creates the requirements and expectations of those same jobs? The party in power. Who do you think vets people in order to get someone that is “aligned” with the mission of overthrowing the current government? The party in power. Who is firing people that don’t toe the line within their agencies? The party in power.

                I’m sure as shit done trying

                When did you try the first time?

    Who could have known that a person born into a rich and powerful family couldn’t handle a 9-5 job? It’s almost like the stories you hear from every rich person about working from sun up to sunset is a lie told to placate the working poor…

      My MAGA brother-in-law once told me that he could be as rich as Trump if he wanted, but he just didn’t want to put in the same hours and effort that Trump does.

      LOL, I remember seeing girlfriends of various company founders I’ve been at who would come in to “work” a few hours per day, usually in a role like “office manager”. Many of them came from backgrounds of privilege and of course had no relevant experience or qualifications.

      Not one of them had any really important responsibilities, barely worked more than half hour a day, and yet would go on and on about how “hard” they worked, LOL.

      Almost without fail. I still remember how one of them had a holy meltdown on the job all because of how the flower arranger that came in to set up flowers had supposedly “failed” to live up to their expectations for the office flowers.

      To add extra insult of hearing how “hard” they worked, they were also instructed to act as spies and try to rat out any dissent or anyone that was being lazy or not doing what these ignorant dumbfucks thought people should be doing.

      I can see exactly how this would scale up to the level of country-level dumbassery in the case of someone like Brainworm.

      I worked at a startup once where one of the guys was honest about that. He had helped a prior startup succeed and made his money, so was not interested in working.

      We paid for the name so investors would think we could succeed. He just screwed around when he actually made it in to work, but occasionally talked to investors about the great things he was doing

    RFK Jr. is a living example of how generational wealth can transform a class of clever criminals into a class of stupid criminals in 3 generations or less.

    Donald was right. The Trump name does belong right next to Kennedy.

    He’s bored, and it feels too much like work. He’s a wealthy nepo-baby who has never done a lick of work on his life. He just wants the attention and the accolades, he doesn’t really want to have to earn it. Can’t you just buy it?
