They are the most abject creatures ever to sully DC. Our Founders would have driven them out at bayonet point for a quick tarring and feathering.

"Heavy Central American accents?" An agent that didn't speak English? Is the regime employing some of Bukele's goons? The very gangsters that we claim to be trying to expel?

See also Andrew Bailey, Eric Schmitt and Josh Hawley in MO. Riding that culture war bullshit out of a one cow town.

That's Eric Greitens level for getting your local Rs to turn on you. He's a culture war grifter with fake operator vibes like any number of goofs that have risen thanks to Wellington's Law of Command.

Just making shit up. It's got him this far though.

You can almost see the spittle flying from lips as he winds himself up. Such a freaky nerd.
