"My staff told me that, upon hearing this news, Tata called Patel back and engaged in a heated conversation with him over the NSC staffer's bad report," Esper wrote in his book, while the Atlantic reported that Tata shouted at him, "You could've gotten these guys killed!" adding, "What the f*** were you thinking?"

Patel is said to have responded, "If nobody got hurt, who the f*** cares?"

Esper notes that his team "suspected Patel made the approval story up."

Only the best people.....

Everyone in the orange clownshow don't think. They don't care about anyone but the orange clown and then themselves in that order. They are only in it for the power and favors they can demand. They are servants of the public, they are users of the public trust for their own benefit.

The next four years will be the darkest period of time in our history.

"Patel is said to have responded, "If nobody got hurt, who the f*** cares?"

Soon we'll hear: "Somebody got hurt, who the f*** cares?"

What's more dangerous? The incompetent sociopath or the competent one?

Does it matter? Not to them.

You may be right. I hope you are not.

The Nixon years were pretty dark.

Americans were still dying in Vietnam.

The country was divided against itself and was in turmoil.

Fortunately there was no internet to supercharge it with.

Unfortunately now there is and the maga gloves are off and democracy is on the ropes.

I knew the Information Age was gonna be different and bring many changes. But. I did not expect this. At all.

"Great Depression?"

Mass deportation of food-chain workers, and massive tariffs on imported goods?!?

Which Democrat will you blame when inflation spikes?

Obama.

Biden's corruption is obvious but his influence is over. No 4th term for Obama either.

You may have noticed that I've repeatedly said that the most recent spike in inflation was decades in the making and that while the Biden spending policies exacerbated the spike those policies certainly didn't cause the spike.

Tariffs, if enacted, will cause some price increases.

May post about the crops was a meme I saw. I don't remember who the creator was but that response is one I borrowed, while I agree with it, I am not claiming it as my own.

Not just the best, but "the best and the brightest."

Donald Trump's past statements about LGBT rights (2017)

... "If a gay person can be a doctor or a lawyer or a teacher or take another position of responsibility, why can't they serve this country in the military?" Trump said.

"'Don't ask, don't tell' has clearly failed. Gay people serve effectively in the military in a number of European countries. There is no reason why they can't serve in the United States," he added.

When it came to his administration, he said he would want "the best and the brightest." ...

So, how much of the tariffs that companies need to pay does your current alias think will be passed on to consumers as "price increases?"

And how might those probable price increases affect inflation, a.k.a. how much I have to pay at the supermarket when I go food shopping?

I read where tariffs on oil could drive up the cost of gasoline 75 cents per gallon in some states.
