You forgot to add that he’s inventing cabinet positions (DOGE) that have no advice or consent, and that these new departments are killing people (DC and now Philadelphia).

It’s a problem. We have lost truth as an ideal. But we have also lost The Press as enforcer of the ideal anyway. The question is, what can replace that? I have been considering a code of ethics for posting + a seal of approval, so that info is known to be vetted. Seems like a good blockchain app
