That look on that face: the look of knowledge that he can never, will never, help anyone except himself. It is what prosperous power brokers who push Running Government Like a Business, rather than Administering Government for the Benefit of Society and the Planet, bought into, to rule/ruin us all.

3/3 - I won't blow any whistles here, but I speak about this from grim personal and professional experience.

2/3 - A number of leaders have used "Running Government Like a Business" to manipulate America's Federal workforce subtly, choosing whom and what values they would promote, just as their business partners in communications media promoted the idea to US citizens. This has grown to a domestic threat.

So that Felon 47 can turn his attention to "the enemy from within," clueless to the fact that he and those behind his rise actually constitute our most Clear and Present Danger, the domestic threat all those Generals and Admirals at Quantico today took oaths to stop.

See today's Hegseth/Trump/Brass meeting. Note the increasing dependence on loyalist culture among civilians & military, stagnation for technical hires, "The era of the career civil servant is over!" & punishment of those who uncovered corruption. The evil behind the Orange Menace was opportunistic.

Difference between the distinctions unborn/born and unfertilized/fertilized is directly pertinent to this example, and yet too often gets lost. I am in favor of the argument this graphic/meme tries to make, but I also think a reasoned argument should hold up when anyone looks under its hood.

Sadly, whatever Trump and Trumpism broke, decades of sycophantism and loyalism set up to break.

"The era of the career civil servant is OVER!"

"We need to run government like a business!"

Sound familiar, sir?

I no longer know how to feel about those years I spent.

Treason Is Treason, a domestic threat is a domestic threat, and FAILING OF ANY GOVERNMENT LEADER TO OBEY THEIR FEDERAL OATH TO STOP SUCH IMPLICATES THEM. They BECOME part of the wrongdoing. That's "Running Government Like a Business," and it sucks.

Why have the "good guys" in leadership positions essentially thrown up their hands, every chance they got to do otherwise, for fear of being seen as political?

Why isn't national defense and justice more important, more of an imperative? Why the Hell do we pay taxes for such?

Why was the man who appointed him, a convicted felon whose plans and "enemies list" were public knowledge before the election, permitted on the ballot? Why did our Defense and Justice organizations permit such a man, whose aspirations gladdened Russia, to have his fate decided at the ballot box?
