"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.....

"What the f*** were you thinking?"

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.

1850's: But who will pick the crops if we don't have slaves?
2020's: But who will pick the crops if we don't have illegal aliens?

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.
