Hey Ukraine as an American I say blow that shit up. If our problem was a lack of diesel we'd stop exporting 1.5m barrels/day of it. Trump's fake deal with an imperialist dictator will not impact our diesel prices and should have no impact on your survival strategy.

I spend 1/2 my life in neon red rural Texas. I point it out all the time. To my neighbors, to their faces. The problem is rightwing media and its proficiency at using viewers' insecurities to foment hatred. It wasn't always this way. It began with Fox, which metastasized into the cancer of Trump.

He spent 11 months inside DOGE. Now he wants to set the record straight.
In his first major interview about his tell-all memoir, Tyler Hassen describes the culture clash surrounding DOGE’s mission and the backlash that followed.

"Eggs expensive under Biden" was a story for six months. "Trump made everything expensive on purpose" is apparently just a Trump personality quirk we're all supposed to get used to.

Also, he randomly capitalizes words that shouldn’t be capitalized - kind of like the president does. That alone is a punishable offense. A colonel with career prospects shouldn’t be so inept at spelling.

Though some SecDefs have had prior uniformed service experience, most weren’t generals. Mattis and Austin were the exceptions who were generals.

Wait… so Mark Walter and the Guggenheim group unload the Lakers to a Trump family member - Josh Kushner last seen two weeks ago failing to stripmine FIFA. - and Walter & Guggenheim are under a mammoth DOJ and SEC investigation? Watch that “investigation” disappear. This country is being looted.

That’s real leadership right there - blaming your subordinate. I guess he’s gone to the “blame Biden” well too much and had to come up with a new scapegoat when faced with the harsh reality of the situation.
