What he not saying is that his friends and cronies invested a fortune in Argentina since their guy Milei won, they stand to lose a big chunk of those fortunes the way things are going, and Argentina’s elections are in two weeks and we are tampering in them to bail Milei out.

They define anything they don't like as un-American. Mike Johnson calls planned Oct 18 protests a "hate America rally" organized by antifa (which Trump has designated as a domestic terrorism org) & pro-Hamas factions. With thinking like this, they will justify violence against peaceful protestors.

Re-upping this piece on news that Vought is firing federal employees:
*Vought lying that shutdowns compel layoffs, never have before.
*Layoffs are a choice, the shutdown is an excuse.
*Comes on top of existing RIFs, will make restoring govt services harder post-shutdown.
