  • Trump Already Showing He’s Only Out For Himself And His Billionaire Bros
    Crooks and Liars, Friday - 11/15/2024 - 07:37 AM

    Yes, the choices of Pete Hegseth, Matt Gaetz, Tulsi Gabbard and Robert F. Kennedy Jr. are outrageous and a MAGA power play. But let’s not lose sight of the MAGA forest here: each is unqualified to run large, complex departments that deal with serious, complex problems that all Americans depend on to keep us safe in one way or the other. Even if you love the MAGA philosophy and goals for respective departments Trump wants these folks to run, not one of them has even a fraction of the experience that any president who cares about protecting Americans would require.

After doing the worst job of any POTUS--including a few dead ones--last time; chaos, dysfunction, corruption and so much more. So how did he do it? The answer's not what you may think. Listen as I discuss with the former/final White House Correspondent for Playboy Magazine, Brian Karem--who famously got Trump on the record admitting he might not accept the results of the 2020 election (which made an appearance in Jack Smith's legal brief)-- an essential subject if we're to have a democracy.

    Melania Trump didn’t join her husband, President-elect Donald Trump, at the White House on Wednesday for his meeting with President Joe Biden and rejected an invitation from first lady Jill Biden. In fact, it seems she won’t be returning to the White House anytime soon—if at all. “Mrs. Trump will not be attending today’s meeting at the White House,” said a post on X from the Office of Melania Trump.
