“Donnie was always a vile little pervert. Fred and I insisted he wear a turtleneck and a scarf. Fred would say, ‘Is that scarf too tight?’ to which I’d reply, ‘He’s still talking and doing disgusting things to his neck, so no.’”

Eric Trump: "We're saving Christianity. We've saving God. We've saving the family unit. We're saving this nation. I mean, DEI is out of the window, Benny. You no longer have Colin Kaepernick kneeling for the national anthem. You no longer have Budweiser going woke as hell. All of this is dead."

Nobel Peace Prize recipient María Corina Machado appeared on Donald Trump Jr.’s podcast.

She touted the oil reserves in Venezuela (the largest in the world) and vowed to privatize the oil industry to enable American corporations to exploit and profit from the country’s resources if she gains power.

Trump at the Charlie Kirk memorial event: "They fired sniper rifles at ICE agents, and me. But I made a turn at a good time. I made a turn at a good time. Charlie couldn't believe it, actually."

Trump calling his cuts to special education departments,“ and they’re never coming back,” the most egregious, socialist, Democrat, semi-communist , and we’re closing them up.”
They are complete idiots.
Most powerful bipartisan advocates, lobbyists are the parents of these children!

This is the backbone of tech fascism -- if you read it all, you will know more about what is happening than listening to 1000 podcasts about it. Took a lot of work
