These absolute morons are going to destroy the United States.
If you’re in favor of the US leaving NATO, you either don’t want the US to succeed, or you don’t know wtf NATO does.
Worth noting that Mike Lee voted to expand NATO in 2022.

As Trump tries to dismantle the Department of Education, remember that his plan to cut the corporate tax rate to 15% would give the 100 largest corporations a tax cut larger than the entire department's K-12 budget.
Really think about how twisted this all is.

The parasites at the top have carved out their own nation separate from ours. Untouchable. Unchecked. They share nothing with us. No struggle, no hardship, no humanity. Every division they manufacture, every lie they feed us, is just a desperate attempt to keep us from realizing our true potential.

We all like to yell at the Democrats, but it’s really Speaker Mike Johnson and Senate Majority Leader John Thune who are letting Elon Musk and his faceless goon squad make a mockery of their power as leaders of a coequal branch without uttering a peep or lifting a finger.

Trump is planning to add another billionaire to his admin, offering private equity exec Stephen Feinberg the job of deputy defense secretary.
His firm has investments in defense companies with huge Pentagon contracts.
If this isn't a conflict of interest, I don't know what is.
