The dust up between the FAA and the “Department of War” over the use of a laser over El Paso shows the disfunction within the administration. They can’t even coordinate between themselves. DOD, DHS, FAA are all pointing fingers while the White House says everything is fine. #trump #faa #dod #dhs

U.S. District Judge Richard Leon has rejected Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth’s bid to demote Sen. Mark Kelly (D-Ariz.) It is the legal system (judges & grand juries) that are protecting us from the Trump administration’s actions. #bondi #hegseth #republicans #legalsystem #grandjuries #trump #illegal

Listening to Trump talk at the news conference. Windmills, besides harming birds also ruins the soil. Right! How many times can a person use the word “strong” in a single day? “God, please help us survive the next three years.” #trump #god #survive #republicans

When has Trump ever admitted to making a mistake? The “monkey video” is but one example. W. Bush said that his “Crusade Comment” back in the day was one he’d take back. On behalf of our nation, let me just say, “While I did not vote for him, many are now willing to say ‘sorry’.” #trump #elections

Trump wants an airport and tunnel named after him. Great idea, let’s make very street, road, and highway “Trump” so we can go everywhere and just specify we want to go to Trump. I’ll even name my dog after Trump to make him happy. I’d also be able to tell “Trump: to sit and shut up! #trump #maga

I’ve watched the Ukraine war. Quoting, “nearly four-year-old war that has been dominated by an unyielding race for technological supremacy and that has redefined what it means to fight a modern conflict.” This is not your grandfather’s or father’s war. Much more deadly! #war #tech #ukraine

Do you think that the Supreme Court has any remorse for unleashing an amoral President on the United States? Are they happy with the turmoil and the self-aggrandizement of a person who fears no criminal penalties? He can do no wrong under the law. #trump #maga #republicans #supremecourt

How long will it take Trump to sour on Kevin Warsh? I give him one or two months, when the Fed does not reduce interest rates. Then, he too will be the focus of Trumps ire. It is all very predictable. You’re great, until you are not. June/July should be the milestone. #trump #federalreserve #warsh

The Cabinet meeting is really not a "cabinet meeting." It is an extended period of Trump pontificating about himself and what he has done. With many factual errors and "blowhard" exaggerations. Then the sycophants go around the table and suck up to El presidente. #trump #cabinet #maga #farce

Today, "Secretary of State Marco Rubio faced intense scrutiny from senators from both parties on the Foreign Relations Committee.." This is the same guy defending Trump's actions when he made fun of Tump during the 2016 Republican Debates for not knowing the Nuke Triad. #dumb #trump #rubio #souless

Republicans are now planning a "mid-term" convention to give their supporters some place to go and get "riled up" over leftist, antifa democrats who are trying to ruin the nation or so they say.

Calling for "defund the polilce" was a terrible strategy. While ICE is running amuck, "reform ICE" and make them change their tactics is a better message. Require body cameras and no face masks and badges, unit identification and last names on uniforms of all types. #reformice #ice #trump #HLS #maga
