For me, the end of the republic began in Uvalde Texas when the law allowed children to be massacred while the police waited. Rights and Constitutional order were massacred along with the kids.

Your premise suggests Trump puts thought into his selections. He does nothing of the sort. He picks the for their -- factor. Qualified? HA!

Tulsi Gabbard rips Kamala Harris' record on criminal prosecutions

Gabbard was the first one to expose and destroy Kamala Harris. That's why she's disliked.

Trump, Musk, Joe Rogan, Gabbard and RFK were all Democrats 10 years ago.

69!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

preemptive pardon should be illegal in all cases.

Will the courts intervene? (Shrug emoji.)

Therin lies the rub. Musk/Trump can only be as lawless as the DOJ and the courts allow.

Hang Merrick Garland.

Elizabeth Warren and the other notable Democrats again offer nothing in terms of offering a solution other than attacking Musk and Trump. Exactly the tactics that lost the election and, possibly the republic.

Because government fraud and corruption are real except in the milquetoast mind of a Pollyanna.

And why all the secrecy?

"The very word "secrecy" is repugnant in a free and open society; and we are as a people inherently and historically opposed to secret societies, to secret oaths and to secret proceedings. We decided long ago that the dangers of excessive and unwarranted concealment of pertinent facts far outweighed the dangers which are cited to justify it."

JFK said that in regard to the USSR and foreign entities. It has relevance now to government waste and fraud.

Sounds to me that someone is afraid of being held accountable to where all the $$$ is going. They have to protect their collegues phoney baloney jobs.

You can learn quite a lot about Trumpism by reading Murray Rothbard and Samuel T. Francis, whom neither he nor most of his followers have ever read. J.D. Vance, Curtis Yarvin, and Peter Thiel, all definitely have, though.

Yeah, well, good luck with that.

Clear Legos are a sign of the Devil.

They've tried to relocate Palestinians many times before. Jordan, Egypt, Saudi...they always get sent back. Nobody wants them.

So how many billions will this latest fiasco cost?

"I do see a long-term ownership position, and I see it bringing great stability to that part of the Middle East, and maybe the entire Middle East," Trump said.

Asked if U.S. troops would be deployed to take over Gaza, Trump said that "we'll do what's necessary. ... We'll take it over and develop it."

Netanyahu said that he was open to the idea.

"He sees a different future for that piece of land," Netanyahu said of Trump's proposal for the United States to take over Gaza.

"It's worth paying attention to this. We're talking about it," he added. "It's something that could change history."

Tarriffs cause the dollar to appreciate. So addicts will be able to get more bang for the buck. It won't curtail drug use, tariffs will increase drug use.

If Musk had Trump's permission to do this, that's scary. If Musk doesn't have Trump's permission, and is going rouge, that's scary.

Take the shortest month of the year and make it Black History Month. Always gettin' shorted the Man.

This is going to hurt a lot of people. It will increase the cost of living by at least $2,600 per year. That's IN ADDITION to Trump increasing taxes by $1,500 per year (while the top 5% sees their taxes fall). The middle class should be pissed off about this.

Most of Trump's fans are conditioned to give money they don't have to fat preachers with bad hair and bronzer.
