You know who is no longer a part of the Trump administration? Joint Chiefs of Staff Chair CQ Brown Jr., who had 40 years of service to our country. You know who is? This kid, who goes by the moniker Big Balls and couldn’t be trusted with sensitive info. Meritocracy, huh? Nope, white supremacy.

Just look at these paragraphs from the AP story. Hegseth called Brown unqualified solely because he's Black. Then they fired him... and replaced him with a white guy so indisputably unqualified that he requires a Presidential waiver. This is what "merit" means to them. apnews.com/article/trum...

When you think about the fact that #RickScott got elected governor of #Florida multiple times, & one of its Senators multiple times, AFTER he was found guilty of massive #Medicare fraud, it kind of explains why #Drumpf is president again, & why America is fvcked all the way up.
