The ghost of Martha Mitchell says hello

The wife of U.S. Treasury Secretary Steve Mnuchin posted Saturday on Instagram in support of climate activist Greta Thunberg after she called this week for divestment in the fossil fuel industry.

[...]

Mnuchin, a former investment banker and Hollywood film producer appointed to his post by President Donald Trump, dismissed the idea Thursday by suggesting Thunberg was not qualified to make such a call.

"Who is she?" he said in Davos. "After she goes and studies economics in college, she can come back and explain that to us."

[...]

His wife Louise Linton, a Los Angeles-based actor and producer, had an opposing opinion, posting on Instagram Saturday, "I stand with Greta on this issue."

"(I don't have a degree in economics either)," she said. "We need to drastically reduce our use of fossil fuels. Keep of the fight @gretathunberg."

The post, screen-captured by multiple journalists, was subsequently removed with no explanation.

...but hey, do what you want...you will anyway.

Even the wife has had enough

They got to her.

Jesus, these two

You may remember the disgusting Treasury Secretary and his disgusting wife from this photo a couple years ago:

Louise Linton, a 36-year-old Scottish-born actress, also lashed out at critics saying she and her husband have “suffered” more because they pay more in taxes.

Linton flaunted her lavish lifestyle in a Monday social media post, sharing a photo of herself and her husband leaving a government jet.

“Great #daytrip to #Kentucky!” she wrote in the photo’s caption, sure to note labels including Tom Ford, Hermès, Valentino and Roland Mouret.

[...]

“Glad we could pay for your little getaway #deplorable,” Jenni Miller wrote – she is a mother of three from Oregon, according to The New York Times.

It was Linton’s belittling response that further fueled the fire.

“Awe!!! Did you think this was a personal trip? Adorable! Do you think the US govt paid for our honeymoon or personal travel?! Lololol,” she began her comment. “I’m pretty sure we paid more taxes toward our day ‘trip’ than you did. Pretty sure the amount we sacrifice per year is a lot more than you’d be willing to sacrifice if the choice was yours.”

  People

Don't judge them. They sacrifice.

Also, "Awe!!!"  I think she means "Awwwwww".

Earth to Mnuchin

Treasury Secretary Steven Mnuchin explained Sunday why he and his wife, Louise Linton, struck a villainous pose with a sheet of dollar bills: He didn’t think the pictures would be public.

“I didn’t realize that the pictures were public and going on the internet and viral,” Mnuchin told host Chris Wallace on “Fox News Sunday.” “But people have the right to do that. People can express what they want. That’s the great thing about social media today. People can say and communicate what they want.”

[...]

“Some folks — and I’m looking at the picture here, which you can’t see — say that you two look like two villains from a James Bond movie,” Wallace said. “I’m sure you’ve heard that. I guess my question is: What were you thinking?”

Villainous? I didn't see it as villainous. I saw it as Monopoly man rich posers.

He didn't realize the pictures were public. Why did they pose for them? Were they planning on having one framed for their front parlor?

“I guess I should take that as a compliment that I look like a villain in a great, successful James Bond movie. But let me just say, I was very excited of having my signature on the money,” he added. “It’s obviously a great privilege and a great honor and something I’m very proud of.”

God. Even worse.

The new bills are expected to go into circulation next month. Mnuchin’s signature, however, will appear differently than those of past Treasury secretaries because his is printed, while his predecessors signed their names.

Mnuchin said he changed his signature because it was “very, very messy” and “barely” legible.

“It was very effective at signing things, but I felt since it was gonna be on the dollar bill forever, I should have a nice, clean signature,” he said.

And worse. He wanted to make sure everyone could read it.

According to the story, he invited his wife to join him in the picture. Yes, you remember the wife. These people are utterly disgusting.

...but hey, do what you want...you will anyway.

How does this picture make you feel?

Yes, that's Trump's treasury secretary Steve Mnuchin and his wife.  You know, this one:

Louise Linton, a 36-year-old Scottish-born actress, also lashed out at critics saying she and her husband have “suffered” more because they pay more in taxes.

Linton flaunted her lavish lifestyle in a Monday social media post, sharing a photo of herself and her husband leaving a government jet.
