Kash Patel plays pretend FBI, Pam Bondi cashes in her ethics, JD Vance bends like a wet flag in the wind… and Dan Bongino? Probably sulking in a corner somewhere. This isn’t a legal team. It’s Trump’s discount clearance aisle.

“Running the government like a business” is just another way of saying that we should privatize government services afforded to everyone. You know who would love that? Wall Street and big corporations. Don’t buy into the myth.

I did an event in DC & there was a party for donors etc after. Was talking to 2 ppl & I said "Things are so bad." They said "No this is how it is. Things swing one way, then another. It's normal." That's when I realized why Dems are toothless. They have no idea what this is. Frogs boiling in water.

This would be disqualifying for a Democratic or Republican nominee in normal times. This Senate will probably find this to be a positive quality, though.

this is the "merit" two-step. first, you strongly imply or state outright that the presence of anyone who isn't a straight, able-bodied white man is unfair "DEI," then you argue that just because an institution is all-male and lily-white doesn't mean there is discrimination. that's just merit!
