If you were a betting person, who would you say will be the first Trump appointee to resign? Hegseth? Kennedy? Noem?
And related question: who will be the first appointee to be (eventually) charged with a crime?

I would guess that people are generally clueless as to why we would be going to war with Venezuela. They’re a threat to us? If he pursues this, we can all watch his disapproval ratings sink further.

This $230 million payment to Trump is particularly aggravating because it’s outright theft of taxpayer money. Any way to stop this plundering of the treasury?

Trump called the Democrats the party of satan this week. He rages about the radical left. Is he trying to start a civil war?

What happened to morale among the military leadership when that poser Hegseth lectured them about — as they say — chickensh*t stuff?

Will any of these clowns be prosecuted after they’re out of office? With DT going after everyone (without any proof), the next Democratic AG should have 0 qualms about making all their corruption public.

I don’t think “authoritarian” or “non-democratic” have exactly the same bite as “fascist.” DT is moving in that direction. This is a bit like Elon’s heil salute. Was it or wasn’t it? You don’t even mess around with that gesture. Don’t even flirt with fascism. And DT likes to flirt.

Isn’t there a Democrat who will speak up and call ‘BS’ on the deep state nonsense? The Republicans have been in charge all year — and they still can’t find them. Maybe what they’ll say is, “It’s deeper than we realized!”

Liberals will probably still get scolded for our harsh rhetoric, or some garbage. That’s the whole problem — not them living in their disinformation bubble.

How do you see Trump’s revenge campaign playing out? After Bolton, I’m just waiting for Liz Cheney or Jack Smith to be the next target. What happens if/when investigators find they were just doing their jobs?
