Donald Trump’s governing philosophy is not to recruit the most qualified, but the most loyal, to him. Trump’s perverted version of DEI. Scares the hell out of me.
And then there are the midterms, when we can get control of things.

Asked by a reporter on Air Force One: “Sir, if there’s nothing incriminating in the files—” she began before Trump cut her off, shouting, “Quiet! Quiet! (in his most king-like voice)”

You said, Epstein “likes beautiful women as much as I do, and many of them are on the younger side.". And you had a Modeling Agency, Teen Beauty Pageants, and the Spa at Mar a Lago.
Now, he was convicted of that and you want to look into only Democrats? Makes perfect sense. Right?

A slap in the face to a generation that fought in Vietnam and an ‘omission’ by the guy that dodged it 5-times with ‘bone spurs.’ It’s fucking Veterans Day and you are not a fucking Veteran.

When the truth is always something to be navigated, you’re bound to have lapses in critical thinking. This tariff business is not something you apply liberally and whimsically. It demands critical thinking. And truth.

I may never fly again if Trump is successful in making air traffic controllers “true political patriots.” I don’t think that is even remotely responsible for a President to say.

Apparently, The President wasn’t exactly telling the truth. It’s just nonsense. And refutable.
Like Sean Duffy, “If we cancel flights they aren’t considered late.”
Truth is an impossible commodity in this administration.
