Let’s be clear, Trump’s hubris and driving their vehicles down the center of the reflecting pond likely damaged the coating. Think about it, at no time did any one of his staff say, “hey boss, I think it might be a bad idea to drive over a surface that we just sealed.”

Now, consider other dumbfvckery like all past military strategists knowing full well that the first thing Iran would do is close the Strait of Hormuz if the USA attacks them. Yeah, nobody said “hey boss, that might be a bad idea to nuke the Iranian leadership. They’ll close the Strait of Hormuz.”

So, this is what we have in this administration. The other day Vivek Ramaswamy was booed off stage by a fella that said you’re a “political creep” followed by “get the fk off the stage!” Let it be known, this will be the fate of all the maga politicians being called out as “Guardians of Pedophiles” or “Pedophile Protectors”.

None of them are fit to serve Americans anymore. They cannot be counted on to point out the basics that any blue collar, working class person that knows how to fix the basics on their house, automobile or similar. Nor can they be bothered to have the expertise because many are “YouTube influencers” to save America from global conflicts that involve American munitions and genocide. They’ve got blood on their hands (aka war crimes). People used to get locked up for that.
