    While I share his concern about the effects of shutting off USAID, I don't think the intent is to secretly empower China. It's just a short-sighted and myopic view that the US doesn't benefit from helping poor people in other countries and therefore we should stop. America First!

    We help those countries in exchange to buy goodwill and have them do things for us. This is how the real world works. China will fill the void

    "America first" isn't slapping 25% tariffs on imports making Americans suffer

    Laura Luna introduced legislature to carve the orange man into Mt. Rushmore. That's just gross, to suggest putting a carving of the compulsive lying con and psychopath up there. Talk about a waste of government tax dollars. That's certainly at the top of the list.

    The loyalist butt kissing is going to be hard to stomach. What's next? Trump statues everywhere?

    Meanwhile people are getting fired, hiring freezes are in place, millions are losing aid, and Trump and Elon are plotting all the ways they can reap in the profits, and overthrow democracy once and for all.

    The left thinks they not only own the govt bureaucracy, but are entitled to run it no matter who wins the election.

    It’s really that simple.
    The arrogance is astonishing.

    Trump, who used to rail against China, went mysteriously soft on China as soon as Elon, who has huge China based interests and a history of uncharacteristc submissiveness in China, started bankrolling him.

    Hmm....

    Hmmm....

    The left act like every single govt employee is essential and how dare you think about firing anyone.
    Yet they are slow dragging trumps cabinet. It’s been 2 ****ing weeks

    No director of FBi. No attorney general, no head of National intelligence.
    It’s ridiculous.

    They acted like arsonists who got called out, got smoked in the vote and now are obstructionists.

    I thought Republicans didn't need a single Democratic vote to confirm any of Trump's nominees?

    David Lebryk was a apolitical person who was in that role for over 20+ years. You're a fraud

    So you care about the Nigerian immigrant but not the South African immigrant.

    This is what happens when you let Elon and his gang of teenage groypers run riot & illegally access systems - people literally die, it's not like Twitter having a service outage

    I don't think people have caught on to the scale of pure looting, destruction & economic disruption that's about to unfold since the Musk/Thiel cabal have seized government finances

    Like, the Trumpflation is priced in but this - what is shaping up to happen is like Great Recession /Depression level event with no coherent way to pull us out of it.

    This is going to be very very bad

    I don't think you should group everyone against a rising oligarchy in charge as leftists. I'm pretty sure a lot of Americans find it unsettling that a group of billionaires will probably be looking out for themselves and their businesses first, at the expense of not only the working class, but the most vulnerable Americans. It's also a bit disturbing when you have loyalists that seem to be in favor of letting Trump run this country like a Dictatorship over a Democracy.

    Tell me what's wrong with the last paragraph of the post?

    Change is coming.

    Actually, maybe it's because they think the choices Trump made to fill those spots are ridiculous, or so politically biased that they will allow Trump and his buddies to do what he wants even if it's illegal.

    Biden was bought and paid for by China.

    Dont worry, everybody is going to get confirmed, besides maybe Tulsi.

    Do you not want RFK Jr. to try to take all of the crap additives out of foods we eat?
