Murphy: "Newsflash: These guys are incompetent. They don't know what they're doing. We hired a weekend Fox News host with no diplomatic or management experience with a checkered personal history of abuse and alcoholism to be our chief national security official. And it's going very badly."

You can literally tell the President of the United States anything, totally made up and he’ll social media post or Executive Order about it two minutes later.

This shit makes me want to slam my head into a wall, so excuse my language.

How many times have MAGA folks said “do your research”? Meanwhile, these dumb-fuck Trump voters didn’t Google shit or even listen to his own words.

Now democracy is on the line because of their willful ignorance.

And if anyone uncovers businesses doing this, put them on blast.

Trump keeps claiming he has a mandate to do whatever he wants because he won. He says that to make it impossible to oppose him. But, no one voted for this. He claimed he wasn't going to do Project 2025, which is exactly what he's doing. www.youtube.com/watch?v=aUnu...
