Dude is smarter than the guy that offered him a job.

There is no County Sheriff anywhere qualified for that job, unless from somewhere like LA or NY, maybe.

This guy may be great, but he's basically the County Sheriff in Tampa Bay.
Hillboro County is a million and a half people.

Trump's people think vetting is something you do for your pets.

Probably because he wasn't remotely qualified.

Someone broke through and told him the cold, hard truth.

Or...he's got some serious skeletons in his lfthnd level deep closet.

Trump doesn't want people with experience who might come back at him with an argument.

All decisions have to come from Trump. He only wants people who will do as they're told.

I guess everybody has figured that out by now.

There is only one person above the law on the Trump train, and everyone else is to bend a knee, kiss a ring, and be submissive. Maybe he heard all those voices angry that he was once a diligent officer of the law.

he arrested a preacher while we were lied to every GD day during covid.

so he can sit back down.

---DT is picking outsiders which is what he promised....and he won.

so that "democracy thing that "you people" were so hysterical about worked.....you just don't like the fact that it did.

That's exactly what he wants. These people need to look at what happened to Weisselberg, Popadopolus, Rudy, Mike Pillow and Cohen to see how that turns out.

Sure he pardoned Bannon, Stone and Flynn because he needed them to lead the 1/6 coup. Dotard has a history of using people and WHEN they can no longer HELP HIM he lets them twist in the breeze. His entire existence is transactional. If you can help him he helps you.

This white house will be for sale again. The grift will go into overdrive since it is his last shot at raking in massive bribes with foreign nations.

The corrupt level will be staggering. The $2 Billion from bone saw will pale in comparison.

They want to get rid of education.

They should get rid of the DEA instead. It's quite possibly the single most worthless department in the federal government.
