Corruption and a Security Catastrophe in Plane Sight Of course a foreign government would love to give the US president a plane....

Once a foreign government can openly give the president a half-billion-dollar plane as a personal gift, there’s no red line left between a democracy and a full-blown kleptocracy. www.doomsdayscenario.co/p/corruption...

This is spot on.

Does this sound like someone who is in control of his emotions?

And he’s doing it with passion and conviction 22+ hours in. Mad respect for Sen. Booker. I encourage you to listen in if you haven’t yet.

absolutely unacceptable and vile.

Trump being far more upset about a painting of him in Colorado than a major National Security breach is all you need to know.

The fact that a reporter was inadvertently given access to this in real time shows that Pete Hegseth & the rest of this crew are bumbling incompetents who are going to get a lot of intelligence officials and others killed at some point. www.theatlantic.com/politics/arc...
