"The festering carcass of American rot shoved into an ill-fitting suit... America's shadow made flesh, a rotting pumpkin idol proving when a nation kneels before money, power, and spite, it doesn't just lose its soul — it shits out this bloated obscenity and calls it a leader."

—Oliver Kornetzke
"Behold. The festering carcass of American rot shoved into an ill-fitting suit: the sleaze of a conman, the cowardice of a draft dodger, the gluttony of a parasite, the racism of a Klansman, the sexism of a back-alley creep, the ignorance of a bar-stool drunk, and the greed of a hedge-fund ghoul — all spray-painted orange and paraded like a prize hog at a county fair. Not a president. Not even a man. Just the diseased distillation of everything this country swears it isn't but always has been — arrogance dressed up as exceptionalism, stupidity passed off as common sense, cruelty sold as toughness, greed exalted as ambition, and corruption worshiped like gospel. It is America's shadow made flesh, a rotting pumpkin idol proving that when a nation kneels before money, power, and spite, it doesn't just lose its soul — it shits out this bloated obscenity and calls it a leader." —Oliver Kornetzke

His termination letter, shared publicly on LinkedIn, misspelled his name as “JOSPEH”, a small but telling insult on top of a much larger one. Tirrell wasn’t just another staffer. He directly advised the Attorney General and Deputy AG on ethics and oversaw the department’s entire ethics program. His work helped uphold the integrity of the Justice Department even during the most turbulent times. In his post, he reminded us that his oath to serve didn’t include fine print. He took it seriously, even when doing the right thing wasn’t easy. And in his parting words, he quoted Dr. King and Edmund Burke, a clear call to all of us who still believe in justice, decency, and the rule of law. Thank you for your service, Joseph Tirrell. You upheld your oath. And your example reminds us why ethics matter, especially when those in power would rather they didn’t. And we’re worse off without you in that role.

Raskin: We even have the right to call the president deranged for crashing our economy, destroying $6 trillion of wealth and turning our 401(k) Into a 201 (K). And the press has the right to call the Gulf of Mexico the Gulf of Mexico.
