We are not even close to being the greatest country in the world. We aren't even in the top 30.

3. These billionaire celebrities and oligarchs have no loyalty to the U.S.

That’s pretty clear. Musk has three passports. These people see themeselves as transnationals and political parties unto themselves. They lie and portray themselves as of the people. They are not. That McDonalds “food” on the private jet went right into the trash after the photo op.

to thwart these fudge-packers at every turn. They may be evil, but they haven’t got the common sense to even organize a garage sale.

12. Kakistocracy is the word: Government by the least suitable or competent citizens of a state.

Seems to be happening. Hegseth, Gabbard, RKF jr., the attempt to install Gaetz, trying to get DeSantis to appoint Lara Trump to the US Senate., Kushner's father an ambassadorship, same with Kimberly Guilfoyle...and I'm sure I'm leaving out some other moves in the ridiculousness.

My God.

And all these appointments and attempted ones are from an insurrectionist and convicted criminal. It's what we've become.

I suspect these names are being whispered in his ear by Miller, Bannon and who knows which others in the trump cabal are making recommendations. I doubt his dementia-adjacent self is coming up with this crap as he probably has no idea who half of them are.

What's getting to me is that some prominent Dems are calling for charges to be dropped/made to disappear, by Sen. Fetterman and Rep. Clyburn of all people. WTF? Those two don't have to roll over and and fall in line.

IMO this kakistocracy will be even worst than the first trump admin that was blessed with an economy that Pres. O brought back from W. Bush's great recession, and then in a couple of years trump tried to downplay the covid pandemic, with he himself talking about injecting bleacn into the body and maybe ingesting horse de-wormmer as cures for covid.

"Fasten your seat belts", as Bettye Davis once said in the movie 'All About Eve', "it's going to be a bumby night."

14. ...turning over to Traitors.

Trump led a violent attack on Congress to overthrow an election.

Trump stole and hid Top Secret documents, apparently to make a buck or impress a cuck.

And the bastard still doesn't say what he and Putin talk about on our dime.

Most all public school Third Graders would make infinitely better leaders for the nation than what we got.
