Trump has such contempt for the voters of South Carolina that he elevated someone utterly unqualified for senate who knows absolutely nothing about anything connected to the job who reads scripts given to her by MAGA handlers while calling the qualified Democrat names and slurs.

Only in a government run by Trump and a State Dept run by Rubio can an unqualified grifter like Kim Guilfoyle remain Ambassador to Greece after all the scandals that have come out just in the last week. But she obviously has A LOT of dirt on the president’s son, so tough to fire.

U.S. forces are retreating. That's what this means. "Pulled out and returned to their home stations in the U.S. as potential Iranian threats raise base security concerns" is a fancy way of saying the Iranian military has the U.S. military in retreat. This is unbelievably embarrassing.

Beyond the fact that it’s incredibly illegal and corrupt to use taxpayer dollars to run political ads on television, there’s another problem with re-running old ads like this: the messaging only reminds everyone what a fraud you are.
Black-and-white image of Donald Trump standing in a hallway from a recent ad he ran on TV with taxpayer funds. White subtitle text on a black bar at the bottom displays what Trump’s voiceover says in the ad: “we will expel the warmongers from our government.”
