Pre-existing personality disorders and/or substance abuse disorders notwithstanding, it appears that both Rahmanullah Lakanwal & Pete "Less legality, more lethality!"/"Kill them all!" Hegseth were both damaged and radicalized by the war in Afghanistan. But both must be prosecuted for their crimes.

And imprisoned Honduran ex-President Hernández who bragged he'd "shove drugs right up the noses of the gringos" by his complicity in trafficking 400 TONS of cocaine.
And every J6 thug, no matter how violent, many of whom have been rearrested for other crimes.
And ANYONE who'll break laws for him.

Smarter, more continent (both types), quieter--though with a whiny little voice unlike Trump's bark, and not as blatantly psychopathic, sure, but Ivanka still married Daddy.
If corruption is afoot, you can be absolutely sure Jared (& Ivanka) will be involved. The stink must be on them for life.

We can only hope that he keeps pressing his most unpopular, most self-defeating ideas, like this fetid stinker.
And, yes, let's compare FDR and DJT.
If only every American understood that comparison.
Plus, he seems too stupid to know that his billionaire backers hate "THAT COMMUNIST FDR!"

Skipped reading his latest merde fling?
Do read that last line...
No one hates like he hates.
No elected official steals/accepts bribes like he does.
He murders in Venezuela (& indirectly elsewhere).
And he's destroying everything US stands for.
Deposed or decomposed, he "won't be here for long".

August 2024: Donald Trump delivered a press conference surrounded by packaged foods, meats, produce, condiments, milk & eggs. (An "old-fashioned term... groceries".)
“When I win, I will immediately bring prices down, starting on Day One” he said.
It was a pledge he repeated often.
