Sean Duffy says he spent seven months filming a family reality show while Transportation Secretary

Drewthulu140

Must be nice. I work in transportation and the last time I had a day off, I ended up working anyway.

Old Union Guy101

Chris Hayes (not sure who the guest was) talked last night about how those in the highest regime positions have a lot of time to fuck off (my terms, not his) and not do much at all in the way of boring governance or agency guidance. This was in the K. Patel context, but I thought about Duffy.

Jason Smith69

So his 17 kids just…didn’t go to school?

CMHoskins47

And who paid for this trip, pray tell?

RobinLikeTheBird35

Road trips “fit any budget.” Who paid for your gas, Sean?

whitney7.bsky.social30

Can we get his salary back? He owes us seven months worth of salary. Plus, any funds he used on his trip that were public funds.

baconspecial.bsky.social19

Some people spend 25% their weeks playing golf from thier own golf country club... Life is good at the 1%!... and in the Trump cabinet.

Rebecca Turk MacLeod18

7 months isn't a road trip, that's a sabbatical

Democratic Free Press17

Its not like planes are crashing, going bankrupt

Jamminjean17

Sean was gone for 7 months and we didn't notice?

littledoodle.bsky.social15

Average Americans can't afford gas to drive their own cars to work and this grifter is driving a gas guzzler all across the country. He's not paying out of pocket for gas for this trip. We are. This administration is so out of touch. They're all having a good time while we struggle.

Tim Krochak13

So he chose not to fly

Tracy Eastwood11

A look back on America before he helps destroy the entire thing and moves his family into a bunker. POS

The Apostrophe8

my family did this in 30 days back in the 80's. NY to Seattle, down to san diego, over to las vegas , then back up rt 66 to chicago. 7 months is ridiculous

Vonn7

On our dime. Per diem, all expenses paid for. These jerks are disgusting. While our air traffic controllers are so short-handed that some are having nervous breakdowns due to extreme stress with no vacations or time off. This is making America great again for this administration, not the citizens!

Duckula Flow7

"The Duffy's" Fox News makes people stupid.

Kim7

And I bet taxpayers paid for the whole family to vacation. Bastards.

Zeb Ulon6

i bet these very same Fox News personalities would've had a very normal reaction to Buttigieg doing the exact same thing. (he wouldn't of course since he knew he had an actual job to do and isn't a reality TV 'star'.)

Stallfortime6

It's all grift. Our airports are a train wreck while he's touring the country on our dime. I hate the moochers.

Peach's Mom ❌👑6

What a great idea, especially when so many families would have trouble affording the gas to drive across America. 🤦🏻‍♀️

Kitty Kowalski5

Living on the government door while going on vacation. Does that make him a welfare queen?

Ralivan4

But anything that has gone wrong while he was fucking off across the country is Biden's fault.

Linda Marie 🕊️4

Who paid for the gas?

drsmutt.bsky.social4

Was he getting paid as a govt employee during this time? How did he ever accrue that much vacation time?

Tickles La Rue4

All the states they visited are... *SURPRISE* conservative states. And I thought we lived in a society that decided you couldn't work for outside the office because it wasn't productive. I guess if you're a Secretary with the fed gov't or a weekend host at Fox and Friends, that rule isn't for you.

rob787.bsky.social4

Not like there’s anything going on in the transportation department or anything

Destiny's Problem Child 🏳️‍🌈4

These are the most sick deranged people to walk planet earth and we have to do all we can to remove them from power et every fucking level of government and then drive them into prisons or out of the country once we take our democracy back from these ABUSERS AND PEDOPHILE PROTECTORS.

𝔻𝕁 𝕊𝕦𝕓𝕥𝕖𝕣𝕣𝕒𝕚𝕟4

Good thing he wasn't supposed to be doing anything else important.

VernBob4

Taxpayer's dollars spent on the Duffy's fanciful expedition and self promotion. 😠

Em4democracy4

We the people paid for this crap! He and his wife should either pay it back or be thrown in jail for defrauding us.

Granuailynn3

Imagine the GOP hissy fit if Buttigieg & his family did that - esp w/ all the issues w/ oh I dunno MID-AIR COLLISIONS AT AIRPORTS (just top of mind to start)... MAGATS would've stormed his office w/ pitchforks, drawn/quartered him & burned down his family home w/ the fam inside, not showcase on Fox

StefFun3

To be honest, as a European, I’m jealous that you get seven months of vacation per year and it obviously doesn’t matter to you whether your car runs on gas or even champagne — you can just afford it!

[‘name’, ‘here’]3

Yes and be sure to remember to dress nicely at the airport

Hair Furor 🐔🌮3

And all he really wanted to do was visit his in-laws for the weekend but DoT being what it is these days...

Dungargee3

Explains why planes keep falling out of the sky or crashing into one another

Crazy Cat Lady Abroad3

And a random apostrophe in the family name for no apparent reason. Because Fox.

A. E. Fisher3

That misplaced apostrophe is going to haunt me.

Not on the LIST3

And I can’t work from home anymore.

Dave Del Greco3

“The Duffy’s” in the chyron— those fools at FoxNews don’t even know the difference between plural & possessive

dzeiher3

I remember Mayor Pete being excoriated for bringing his husband along on an international visit

happyrumrunner.bsky.social3

is he going to refund his salary?

Nothin’ but Blue Skies from now on3

The rest of us who apparently live in this “pornhub world” are really, really, really getting pissed off

Michael in CHI3

And they complain about Secretary Pete not ever being around!

Nerdy Pete3

My parents took us on 1-week long visits to timeshares in mostly obscure locations up and down the east coast for a few years. My step-brother and I enjoyed them but would never have thought to imagine a *7 MONTH* vacation. Those reality TV residuals must still be coming in. Right? RIGHT, SEAN?

AnninaPersisted ☮️🦋3

Somebody tell arrogant, smug Duffy that no one can afford the gas for a road trip.

jansky2300.bsky.social3

Doesn’t he have a job? One that we pay his salary for. One that usually requires more than 40 hours a week.

blueindy.bsky.social3

Excuse me? We need this vacation paid back in full

@gretagroots2

The Trump regime thinks they are royalty and hard earned taxpayers' money is theirs for the taking

Candy England2

Right after we started paying him To do a real job.

TD Warner2

Our tax dollars paying for this with expensive gas prices 🤬

And.And2

The fact That the title of this execrable series is so similar to the title of @sarahkendzior.bsky.social ‘s book makes me ill

Jen Jeffers 🐰2

I don't know why these people have government aspirations when all they really want is to be famous.

Mel2

We’re paying these people with our taxes.

Caliphate Pontificus2

Beats working for a living.

Zach2

Doesn't this guy have a job paid for by us? Get your ass back to it, not shooting promo vacay videos with your milquetoast family.

forced2bnice2u.bsky.social2

Hmm fire the DEI workforce to allow the ill equipped White workers to party on our dime! F them all! 🤬🤬

Resist Tyranny2

Who the hell paid for the trip? Who gets this much vacation with a new job? So disgusting...

RainDropPuddles2

100% he made a handful of "official" stops to claim that .74c /mile - just dirty math here, he traveled 5,200 miles which gives him $3,848 in tax free reimbursement, plus whatever the GSA per diem is for example: Miami Dade County is $145 lodging + $92 meals / per night. 7 months of this!

Escalante Sam2

Did they stop by Puck’s place?

Claire Splan2

And they only visited red states? Because that’s where the REAL America is, right? 🤮

Fátima2

Absolutely nobody in the cabinet has taken a minute to read their job description, they do whatever they think the job is. The secretary of transportation thinks he should transport his family through the US.

Andi Johnson2

Are we paying for this crap, too???

Kitty Kowalski2

Is he getting a taxpayer funded paycheck for this?

John Ryan2

All at Taxpayers Expense, No Doubt!

Creedence Clearwater Remodel2

Does DOGE know about this?

Feathered Stone2

So not working I see

ChiDad2

Yeah America, get out there and take a road trip!! With gas inching every so closer to $5 gallon! Go out there and see the sights in the car many people cannot afford!! Fuck all the way off #Republicans, and fuck you too Fox

Robert Blaszkiewicz 2

The unnecessary apostrophe in the chyron is triggering this old copy editor.

IMPEACH & REMOVE2

This is all this administration knows how to do. TV appearances, social media posts. When you don’t know how to do the job you are in, you revert back to the last job you thought you were good at, and try yo incorporate it into your new role. They are all like this. Every. Single. One. FAIL

Dr. Acula, M. D.2

twenty years from now, they’ll still be finding the bodies that the infamous Duffy Family Maniacs had left along the way while on their road trip of terror 2026.

khyizang2

So wrong on so many levels. Can we get a refund on his salary for most of that?

ludog9.bsky.social2

Folks that can’t afford gas paid for this douche bags vacation and not a peep from any democrat about locking these fuckers up.

notesfromne.bsky.social2

Of course! He only has a part time job. He can always go on line and check dear leader’s blathering.

Magpie-A2

Wow, totally not propaganda feel.

ninjamonkky.bsky.social2

That's called being unemployed, but I'm not surprised, Grifter is a full time commitment.

MichGal2

We have two or three major transportation debacles every week now…and this fool is out camping 🤬 💩

moronthatlater.bsky.social2

Well isn’t that great. Did they use a gas card paid for by taxpayers???

Paul Allen2

And this was also when he was temporary NASA administrator as well.

scriptfoo.bsky.social2

and he had a camera crew go with him. because that's what family trips are really about.

ContentSean4

The Transportation Secretary should not have that kind of time on his hands.

KatieBea3

Don’t forget his wife was the naive conservative who had trouble accepting the liberal roommates.

resist96.bsky.social3

How much of our taxpayer dollars did he use on this….i imagine he said it was “business”

be-zen.bsky.social3

And his wife was on the San Francisco cast as the "conservative Catholic" who was horny as fuck for the nasty-ass Puck, who would blow snot onto the street while riding his bicycle. She's been a hypocrite since her early 20s AT LEAST!

Kathy3

He’s a lumberjack and he is not OK.

BeeCard2

Did he see any unemployed air traffic controllers looking for work while he was driving around?

Iceblue28

So wait. He's been on vacation with his family for the past 7 months? Are his kids home schooled? Apparently his job is able to be done anywhere. This is why there are so many incidents with airplanes, control towers, etc..No leadership. The entire admin is just in it for the grift on taxpayer dime.

Cheryl Price5

And he wife was the conservative villain on the Real World. I hope Pedro haunts her.

kslehman.bsky.social3

But then there’s those little details like GAS PRICES!!!!!

adayinmylife64.bsky.social9

I’m sure many Americans would love a 7 month extremely well paid vacation. Why do we pay these fools?!!

Michelle Wu for President5

People are asking a lot of questions about my “this road trip with my family is NOT porn, it is good clean family fun” shirt that are answered by the shirt

These neo-Nazis are just soooo wholesome. What about the families whose lives you ruin by abducting them without due process and shipping them to brutal prisons? Assholes.

aveline72.bsky.social2

Wtf does that mean as an expression? I have never heard anyone say that in my entire life.

msdobalina.bsky.social15

Goooooodddddaaammmmmmmmmn I'm not a historian, but these people seem like the most "in your face" grifters in the history of democracy. If anyone was worse, I'm not sure I want to know about it.

Democratic Free Press12

These people dont work. As planes are crashing, tSA not getting paid. Hes filming propoganda for 7 months 7bmo th road trip is expensive. Paid by taxpayers

And George Wendt9

@schiff.senate.gov when you voted to confirm Sean Duffy was this what you envisioned him doing

Mich2Cali • 🏳️‍🌈6

sean duffy is reality show personality who plays Transportation Secretary on TV.

nils2.bsky.social5

Is 7 months paid vacation for Cabinet secretaries something out of Project 2025? It does make sense that appointing unqualified people and then giving them 7 months of vacation would contribute to the goal of dismantling the federal government and making people’s lives worse.

timeforsanity.bsky.social4

The Great American road trip paid for by the U.S. taxpayers? Patel, Noem, and many of Trump’s cabinet make good use of free travel apparently!

six63.bsky.social4

Corruption at its best.Duffy was and is always a Reality Show contestant,his service in Congress & his current position as Sec of Transportation are all part of his plan to fleece Americans while blaming the previous admin for all the GOP mistakes and problems. Infrastructure Bill ws undr Biden.

auntieranty.bsky.social4

On our dime. Fucker better pay it back.

Gizmoz3

So he gets paid by most of the corporations he's supposedly overlooking to take a seven month road trip. While he's being paid by the American people to oversee these same corporations. Gee, where could a conflict of interest be there? That'd be just like someone giving the prez a jet or something

nils2.bsky.social3

So the Secretary of Transportation is sponsored by Boeing and United Airlines? That seems quite wrong.

Nada Pasa2

Taxpayer funded family trip baby! Look at everything the GOP can get away with knowing absolutely NOTHING will ever happen to them. Thanks for voting for this shit America!

KCL6553212

I knew this guy was a weaselly scumbag since I first saw him back on The Real World. It's sad that society has allowed this PoS to ascend as far as he has, but it's not shocking since PoS people tend to do well in the society we've crafted.
