Labor nominee Puzder admits employing undocumented immigrant housekeeper
Oops!
WASHINGTON — Andy Puzder, President Donald Trump’s nominee for Labor secretary, admitted to employing a housekeeper who was an immigrant in the U.S. illegally, raising another potential problem for his confirmation amid Democratic criticism of his treatment of workers. “My wife and I employed a housekeeper for a few years, during which I was unaware that…

Yes, apparently these millionaires are always hiring people to work inside their enormous mansions filled with all kinds of art objects and personal valuables without doing any kind of a background check whatsoever!!
But, hey, if you can’t trust people what’s this world coming to?

Just like all of trump’s other picks, he is uniquely qualified for the position. Excuse my irrational statement, I just repeatedly hit myself in the head with a hammer.

Trump is insane. But I repeat myself.

It won’t matter! There is very little integrity or decency left now in Washington. Once they elect a man who admits to assaulting women just because he can, refuses to release his taxes, lies outright to the American people, has his staff create false stories and massacres, focuses on his ego first, tweets inappropriately, creates conflict and reacts with hostility at almost every turn while playing the victim relentlessly, cabinet posts with people who break the law, accept positions to further their Companies interests and profits, or buy their position despite being completely unqualified seems minor at best! Most Americans are sitting looking on at this insane nightmare with complete horror! If Americans had a bad opinion of Washington before this fiasco, I am hearing now complete shock and horror with what we are witnessing with this ridiculous reality show! I don’t think I have ever seen so many people expressing such disgust and anger at the political scene as we are seeing now! And yet it won’t matter in the least!

I say f&ck the whole thing at this point. If devos is in, how can they deny any of the other noms? Lets put them all on the same ship and let them create the evidence we will use to impeach and charge them for unlawful activities.

Democrats are pussies. They withdraw. Republicans stick it out and get confirmed.
I’m ashamed to be in the first group.

That’s why the wall hasn’t been built all this time since people want the cheap labor in order to keep as much money in their pockets they can!

So, Andy the Putz comes clean….
“My wife and I employed a housekeeper for a few years, during which I was unaware that she was not legally permitted to work in the U.S.,” He didn’t know anything about her being illegal…riiiiiiiiiiight. He was just smart enough to make sure this didn’t become a problem down the road during his campaign.
.
And I don’t see why this would be a problem for a republican. When a reporter brought to Cheney’s attention that 2/3 of the country thought the Iraq war was unnecessary, his response was, “Yeah… that’s right. So what?”
All Andy the Putz had to say was, “Yeah…that’s right. So what?” and the democrats will, once again, sit down and shut up, while his constituents praise him for openly defying the democrats.
