They were careless people, Tom and Daisy- they smashed up things and creatures and then retreated back into their money or their vast carelessness or whatever it was that kept them together, and let other people clean up the mess they had made.

Any psychologist or psychiatrist (or former abused spouse) will tell you that President Zelensky gave a master class today on how to deal with a malignant narcissist.
He is an amazing man. We can all learn from him.

As a taxpayer, I do not expect to be "reimbursed" when our country helps another defend itself from foreign invasion where their liberties, freedoms and lives will be taken from them.
When exporting freedom there's no bigger ROI than to hear freedom ring!
Fuck Trump.
Fuck Elon.

Amy Gleason is the acting administrator of the DOGE. Please don’t be distracted by this—it was only done because federal judges were questioning who was actually running the operation. Gleason is completely controlled by Musk, and he is doing this to avoid testifying.

Don’t lose hope. Remember, Watergate took over two years to fully unravel from the initial break-in to Nixon’s resignation. Just like then and now, Americans are losing faith in their government. We are documenting every illegal action and will hold this administration and Elon Musk accountable.
