🚨 WHOA! Steve Bannon is sounding the alarm about Democrats taking the House: “I think you'll see Bobby Kennedy impeached. I think you'll see Pete Hegseth impeached. I think you'll see subpoenas flying every day. They will look to destroy President Trump, and we’ll be bogged down for two years.”

It’s genuinely sad to watch. The President is so weak and incapable of negotiating a real deal that he just posts fake ones on social media and hopes people believe him, until every party involved puts out a statement calling him a liar. We’ve never seen weakness like this in the Oval Office.

It's deeply irresponsible to treat anything Trump says as credible. He's flailing and desperate to save face, and he knows he can lie because the corporate media will dutifully parrot his words and spread his propaganda. There's a good chance Zelenskyy has no idea what the hell he's talking about.
