If Joe Biden had claimed that he redesigned the hulls of Coast Guard cutters, we'd be way over in 25th amendment territory. With Trump, it's so common that most Americans don't even notice it now.

So he’s saying all the tariff money we took in is gone and we won’t be able to pay it back. There was always a possibility he could lose this lawsuit and have to refund the tariff money. We didn’t prepare for that possibility? He’s running the govt like he ran his casinos.

Kash Patel has "summarily dismissed" a trainee for displaying a pride flag. "Summarily" means without attention to formalities. And there are formalities for firing a federal employee. So the twit Kash is admitting that the firing was done in a pique of bigotry, not in accordance with the law.
