Trump’s “America First” is a con. He’s bailing out Argentina, importing their beef, and leaving U.S. farmers broke. Rural Missouri remembers—this is corporate feudalism in a flag.

Yep she needs to gtfo the way.
In the military before I retired, I had Airmen beg me to stay in and try for higher rank to try to change the way we operated. However, there's only 2 directions.. up and out the way. And if you sit in that spot hoping for up, you stifle the Airmen that NEED to grow.
