The only reason total amateurs like wild-eyed Kash Patel and Dan Bongino are in their positions is because they were out on their fringe podcasts claiming that somehow they alone knew the “truth” and would unmask the “deep state.”
They’re all frauds who embarrass the country.

I’m sorry—but it is very difficult to maintain a high opinion of anyone who thinks this is fitting conduct for the President of the United States.
He embarrasses the country and makes his supporters look like fools every single day.

This is not a stable person who should be deciding whether and how we strike Iran’s nuclear facilities.

On JD Vance: “I was never more sick than when JD asked Zelenskyy why Ukraine doesn’t just stop fighting. They’re fighting because Putin invaded & started killing their women and children. To even ask that question is just so idiotic.”

So many lawyers in the Federalist Society made a deal with the devil against everything they believed and knew to be true—some to secure that government position they always thought they deserved, some to simply stay on the “team.”
And now the devil has eaten them, too.

I would be more inclined to give the morality police a hearing if they didn’t cheer a president who slept with a pornstar while married and then paid her to keep quiet about it.
Folks like Senator Lee don’t care about moral character. If they did, they would oppose Donald Trump.

The Qataris fund the Muslim Brotherhood and Hamas—and Republicans have long excoriated Democrats for getting anywhere close to them. Yet Trump has just taken their large luxury palace jet. The hypocrisy is astounding.
Americans need to ask: how is any of this helping them?

More on tariffs: “This isn’t just about laptops and iPhones. It’s about the basic necessities—and $300 is a lot of money for new families. This administration has said it wants to be ‘pro-family,’ but these tariffs are going to crush them.”

On tariffs: “When young families realize—hey, why am I having to pay $400 more for a stroller?—they’re going to get pissed off because the only reason this is happening is because the President and the yes-men he surrounds himself with just don’t understand basic economics.”

Trump’s Tariffs are growing the government and shrinking the economy. A bad formula that will wreck the working class.

The same people who complained about Hunter Biden’s paintings are now selling $500k memberships for their own account into a “club” named the Executive Branch that openly sells access to and influence over our government’s leaders.
If this isn’t illegal, it should be.

In a single post, Trump blames the war in Ukraine on Biden and Zelenskyy instead of Putin and says the 2020 election was rigged.
I don’t understand how serious people can still support this guy with a straight face.

The self-inflicted harm to our economic well-being this week comes on the heels of a self-inflicted wound to our moral standing in the world vis-a-vis Trump and Vance taking Putin’s side in Ukraine.
They are abandoning every moral value that I thought my country believed in.

This is open grift and corruption from the President of the United States. And if you can’t admit that it’s a problem, you’re in the grip of a cult.
Every time he does this, he degrades our entire country. It’s also sad. Many Americans who trust him will lose their savings.
