Ha. The only time Collins doesn’t vote with Trump’s desires is when he’s given her permission. And he only gives permission when he has enough votes without her. That’s why she votes last.

Of course Kash Patel wants to hand the UFC a NO-BID contract to train FBI agents. The UFC is a sports entertainment business. The FBI already trains agents in defensive tactics. And we’re supposed to believe Dana White, Trump’s buddy, runs the only organization in America qualified to do this.

The Moscow Exchange Index grew rapidly after President Trump announced large-scale supplies of Russian diesel fuel to the U.S. and global markets. Russia will have more money for the war against Ukraine and for any further aggression it feels entitled to. More civilian deaths.

Same thing used to happen at Nazi rallies. Hitler would say lots of provoking things, then when he would provoke a reaction, he would have the guards beat the crap out of them and drag them out. It worked then, it works now. Strategies don't change much, neither do people.
