Did anyone think Trump āgrab āem by the p**syā - or anyone who works with him - would care at all about prosecuting people for sex crimes? Their current behavior seems more on brand. Need a great slogan for the pedo loving GOP.

CNN: "New data shows January was the lowest months for job cuts since the 2009 Great Recession...layoffs way up, hiring ways down. During the month of January, US-based employers announced just over 108,000 layoffs. That's roughly double January 2025. In fact, this is the highest since January 2009"
