16. A shameful waste of a great start?
Thu Apr 9, 2026, 11:47 AM
Apr 9

Hummm. Was that the DOGE debacle when Agent Orange allowed no-nothings to take control of our major institutions and ransack the place? Or was the 'great start' Musk and his chainsaw? Or perhaps the Cabinet selection of loyalists vs experienced individuals to ensure the damage and gutting would continue. Or the ICE raids to terrorize Americans, immigrants and citizens alike. Or shrugging off our historical allies with threats and insults and never-ending bullying. Or economic ruin through tariffs?

Renee Goode's death followed by Alex Pretti followed by numerous detainees in ICE custody. Was that it, the prologue to greatness?

When looking back, one can easily understand the ill-planned, disastrous war in Iran because ETTD has always been in play.

There's been no greatness from Trump or his Administration, only cruelty and stupidity.

And endless lies making each and every silent Republican ripe candidates for The Hague.
