This Hegseth thing is funny and all — but the unprecedented incompetence, frivolity, and treachery of the entire cabinet puts us all at very real risk.

In case you weren’t thinking about it. US Debt is held by foreign nations. US treasury bonds are held by foreign nations. If they got together and sold all at once, we would be financially crushed. That’s what causes that asshole to put the tariffs on Canada and Europe on hold. Dumb ass did

I've covered Van Hollen since circa 1999. He's actually not a "grandstander." In his first Congressional bid, he was the workhorse vs the showhorse. He out-hustled Mark Shriver who had far more money and had been on the cover of Time Magazine as a next-gen Kennedy. He won with an army of volunteers.

The evil is just so blatant. It's cartoon villain shit. It's puppy kicking shit. The only possible way you can support it is if you do not care about other people, period. Trumpism is like if the Christian God designed the easiest morality test possible for Americans, and we failed.

Reform is not worthy of your vote, Farage is the UK's trump, he's all about himself, once he has your vote he'll forget all about you as he fills his and his cronies pockets with your tax ££, if you think they'll be good for the country you're not listening and watching properly.
