DT just killed hundreds of Ukrainians... as Congress continues to roll over and play dead. He's killed countless CIA operatives in the past and may have shot someone in the middle of Fifth Avenue for all we know.

It's amazing that the characters so easily provide the material for the comedians. This was just a clown show. The real power in the nation now rests with Elon Musk and Peter Thiel.

It is stunning to see posts and comments suggesting that we do not need the National Weather Service because we have Apps, TV stations, your favorite social media influencer and so on. To me, that is like saying, “Why do we need potato farmers when I can just get fries at my fast food place?”
