You are absolutely correct! This administration not only lacks compassion & respect for people but they also lack the ability to understand how to guide our country towards prosperity (in all forms, not just economic). They also don’t seem to want to be a positive pro-democracy influence globally.

Can we insist on receiving it knowing that the cost will be completely out of pocket?

I wonder if we can travel to another country and get one? Canada?

I have read that Vance was put in his position as a tool for the continued use of project 2025. Trump is just a pawn for them, Vance is their real guy. Not sure if that is true though.
One thing is that the MAGA cult follows Trump not Vance. Not sure Vance would be able to replace Trump to them.

Yes, completely GONE along with his regime that are backing project 2025.
