Kelly: I really worry about those aviators, drone operators, special forces guys that are in the Caribbean right now striking these boats and whether or not this is legal..

There’s no authorization for the use of military force. The Congress has not given that to the president. He hasn’t asked.

The amount of money we are giving to Argentina amounts to $450 per resident of that country. But we're not even giving it to people there who need it, we're giving it to prop up Elon's pal, the corrupt President of that country, who'll then shovel some of it into the pockets of Trump's friends here.

I don’t need to click because Caitlin Flanagan has been peddling the same boring “anti-woke” nonsense for decades. Time for something new but Atlantic isn’t gonna get there.

Dasha was pretty close to the Trump campaign last year. Either he’s lost his mind or he has some other reason to deny the association.
