Trump Mobile Keeps Charging My Credit Card And I Have No Idea Why

I didn’t sign up for the Trump Mobile cellphone plan. I still haven’t received my gold plated Trump phone. But the company just charged my credit card again.

Also acting head of NASA has no space or science background, as per normal for this administration:

President Donald Trump appointed Secretary of Transportation Sean Duffy to lead NASA.

This feels like the natural end result of decades of the GOP proving that the government is broken by breaking it themselves.

Only reason they put Duffy up as acting NASA chief was to get someone who hates Musk in place to really screw with him.

Ironbite-that and to gut NASA.

I guess one would normally expect such a successful and high-profile grifter to be a little cleverer than just collecting credit card numbers and then hitting them with blatantly fraudulent charges. And maybe there was a time when he would have been. But at this point, why bother? He could probably personally saunter into Fort Knox and walk off with their entire stash of gold, confident that nothing will come of it beyond a lot of people getting angry on TV.

I think you're underestimating the satisfaction he gets from grifting.
