Yet again the Trump Administration dips into the deep, deep pool of people who just can't get elected and just thrusts them into government.

Q: Do you agree that the mayor of Chicago and governor of Illinois should be in prison?

MIKE JOHNSON: Should they be in prison? I'm not the attorney general. I'm not following the day to day on that

Q: Are you concerned about the delays at airports?

TRUMP: Oh sure. They're all Democrats delays. There are delays at the airport. That's standard ... I look at people with very low IQs like Crockett, this woman Crockett. I've never met her but she's a low IQ individual

Your Sunday homework:

Take 17 minutes and 21 seconds to watch this film made in 1945 by the American government.

Then reflect upon the content of this film, and how it applies to your life and the lives of those people in your communities.

It is the greatest political lie ever told in American history. Not just some busted campaign promise, but an entire campaign on false pretenses. Literal cartoon supervillain behavior: waiting until you get in office and implementing a comic-book plan to annihilate US government virtually overnight.

There is not a single example in American history of a president doing something like this: having a secret agenda that's incredibly, unbelievably unpopular, spending the entire campaign pretending it's fake, and then, upon winning, going "psyche!" and not just embracing it, but expanding on it.

The story of 2024 is this: Trump had a plan to destroy American government called Project 2025, which had, literally, not a typo, a 4% approval rating. He lied constantly and said he wouldn't do it.

Then he entered office and immediately implemented AN EVEN MORE EXTREME VERSION OF IT.

How do you feel about the pistol grip? They make one for the A300 but I read it transfers a lot of the recoil to your wrist and a regular stock setup is better.
