Tulsi's the one with the Bellafill, right? Some of that plumping stuff has migrated to her brain, but until Trump appointed her to be someone important nobody noticed.

I was shocked when Trump picked Gabbard. She's as close to a Communist as you'll ever see, and she's smack in the middle of the intelligence community with full access to all classified and top secret goings-on all over the world. She has close ties to Putin and should have been disqualified from being appointed garbage sorter at the local recycling plant. But the cowards in the Senate approved her, and that's even more frightening. And like the rest of the clown car Trump has assembled, she's no more qualified for her job as that imbecile Hegseth.

Look, the USA spends billions every year on EIGHTEEN different agencies for gathering intelligence. Why didn't they warn the branches of government about a RW coup? About what is being forced through right now? This is a flaw, right, that those agencies must not interact with the public, only with the Executive branch and the Congress? So if our government is controlled by RW hacks who are trashing government services and cooperating with a foreign country that doesn't want us to succeed, how are We the People supposed to find out and what are we supposed to do? This is maddening.

Seriously. WTF is wrong with these people. They'd all, every one of them, sell us all down the river to get a wink and a nod from DJT How the hell does he gain such control over people? Do they have no shame?? Oh, I know, they're afraid for their jobs. Bullshit!! If you knowingly agree to harm another person, anybody, just to keep your job, you have NO decency. you're lower than whale shit. If you're willing to sacrifice your integertiy, your dignity, to please the "Boss" you are a poor excuse for a human being.

My best guess is that Trump pays them big money to do as he says.

I love the "Deep State" They're the people who keep the lights on and the trains running on time. You're begnning to see what happens when shit for brains elected officials actually try to take a hand in things. Winning a silly popularity contest, an election, doesn't prove you know shit about anything. Seriously, I don't think I'd trust more than about 40% of the members of Congress to house or baby sit for me.

Trump hates expertise because he himself lacks any kind of knowledge except how to fuck over people he makes "deals" with. He has chosen incompetent people because they are malleable and will do what he wants them to do. And remember when Trump won in 2016? He actually believed he could run the presidency from Mar a Lago or Trump Tower in NYC. He had no idea of the scope of his job then, but this time he has decided to destroy the government as we know it, just as he destroyed every business endeavor he ever engaged in.

Every single member of the GOP (or Fascist Party of America) have all been brainwashed by their idiototic, dementia laden, convicted felon, conman, adjudicated rapist, brain dead “leader”. He says ‘jump’, they respond ‘how high?’

How is it that the FBI disagrees with every other agency about objective reality? Is this a Dinesh Desouza thing?

Obviously, that conclusion will not stop the Trump administration from its constant fearmongering to justify its unconstitutional ethnic cleansing, because otherwise how can Stephen Miller be expected to get erections?

Gary, I may never forgive you for putting that image in my mind. Going to go hit my head with a heavy object to see if the anime trope to make you lose your memory works now.

Normally, I would run from a reference to Stephen Miller's prurient desires, but this long sentence from Gary Legum's article is priceless:
