Jasmine Crockett: "The problem is that Americans thought it was okay to take a full fledged criminal and make him the President of the US and then they want to act aghast when he does criminal things. Let me tell you, we have a thug in charge of the US and if we don't wake up we may not have a US"

Imagine needing YOUR MOM go on TV and say you're a good boy (after she blasted you via email), and then promising NOT to drink on the job, being forced out of a veterans group for misconduct and STILL being considered for a job you're not qualified for.

I’m thankful for Bluesky.

He promised to make X a source of truth. He was called out by his own AI for being one of the most prolific amplifiers of misinformation.
