Really striking that the movement that campaigned vigorously against cancel culture as un-American is demanding now that people get fired because they posted "disrespectful things" about Kirk after his assassination.

Reactions to the conservative activist’s killing have become a litmus test for employers’ tolerance for political speech by employees, in public and private.

Even the people working at DOGE say it is a lawless nightmare for America. In fact, they know it better than anyone.

Yeah, how about not dissolving the air safety advisory commission at the FAA. As your team did last week.

If Joe Biden fired 100 FAA employees and a plane crash happened just a few hours later, Fox News would bring Lou Dobbs back from the dead with wall-to-wall coverage blaming it on Biden.

A lot of folks are giving up in advance. Capitulating before a single skirmish.
Well, not this old warrior. I’ve seen much worse from the U.S. government in my day. I’m concerned for our country, but not a bit scared of these miscreants. I’m ready to do my part.

Just to be clear: the incoming Trump administration is going to war against their own Republican senate majority and the constitution's advice and consent provision so they can make a man investigated for ***sex trafficking a minor*** into the most powerful law enforcement officer in the country.

The American people think they can try out an authoritarian government and if they decide they don’t like it they can rid of it so easily as they voted for it. Thats why learning about history is so important. So we don’t make the same mistakes as other countries.

The incoming administration may or may not reduce the size or scope of government.
But it will absolutely become the biggest protection racket the world has ever seen.
