Here’s the doge.gov website IN ITS ENTIRETY. It’s literally a blank page!

Pin this, save it, we’ll need it.

“When a prison camp opens in your town…when a DREAMer is disappeared from your classroom…when the President destroys what’s left of the Constitution…They will all say they didn’t know this was coming. And I want the American people to know that they did.”

The President is asking rhetorical questions about what federal government aircraft was doing, as if there's someone else who is supposed to have the answer. This is his responsibility. If he doesn't even know the answers, it's because he and his unqualified appointees are incompetent.
“Commander in Chief” jumps to throw military crew under the bus before any details are known. Coward.

We no longer have a leader in the White House but a conman who’s #1 goal is always to dodge responsibility.

Next time a R or D says “respect the office” remind them the President himself doesn’t.
