Isn't it cool how you can get elected and paid to do insider trading while complaining that someone isn't doing your job?

Fellow NSA - National Security Agency veterans. Look at what’s happened at the National Cryptologic Museum. They covered up with brown paper the photos of Women in American Cryptology. All in response to President Trump’s anti-diversity executive order.

Important to note trump *was* the government at the time of the bans yet he sued the three private companies claiming *they* violated *his* 1st amendment rights by banning him, even though the 1A restricts him, not them.
Facebook pays Trump $25M in trollsuit it functionally won when the identical suit against Twitter got tossed.
The argument here was that FB/YT/X were acting *as the government* and thus violated Trump's 1stAmend rights when they deplatformed him after J6.
It's a bribe.

Trump enrages cops by extending privilege to indulge in lawless violence with impunity to non-cops
The Fraternal Order of Police, the largest police union in the country, just released a statement rescinding their endorsement of President Trump due to his pardoning of Jan. 6 insurrectionists.
Police union that endorsed Trump condemns Jan 6 pardons—"Dangerous message"
The Fraternal Order of Police union said those who assaulted officers during the 2021 Capitol riot should serve their full sentences.
