1. Sickening behavior from a #Trump appointee. damn!

2. I am so sick of their arrogance. N/t

[Delarage]

3. Fossil Fuel F-wad

Did Debra Haaland ever make such obnoxious demands of her staff? Or was she focused on protecting the natural beauty and resources of this country? Hint: It's the latter.

4. I Would Love to Bake His Cookies!

But only if I had a raging sinus infection and had just eaten a Snickers Bar. They would taste even better with a nice, gooey lunger in the dough.

5. Kick

6. This guy isn't treating Americans as people, he's treating us as servants. Disgusting. He can hire, if he wishes,

his own servants on his own dime and have them at his expense make him cookies if he wants them so bad. God, he's so pathetic.

7. Dougie the Diva!

We're all just his serfs as far as he's concerned.

8. Gotta love how this obnoxious, privileged behavior has set people off.

I wish all of trump's appointees were acting in this snotty, well-publicized fashion---we'd be rid of them all a lot quicker.

9. I'd swap out the chocolate chips for Ex-Lax

He’d be too busy to help Trump fuck up this country.
