I work in broadcast engineering and I get calls 24/7/365 because broadcast TV is always on. I will get a call at 3am on a Saturday that something isn’t working and they need it for the morning show that starts in an hour and a half. I will get up, drive into work, walk up and ask them to show me, and It works just fine every time. People will tell me that things only work because I’m there. I think they are a little more careful stepping through procedures because I’m standing there looking like I’m about to kill something.

“I will achieve the president’s intent.” How does anyone know what that is? He swings wildly on issue to issue on a daily basis.

I doubt this administration is going to stop pushing it’s lawlessness unless there is push back with consequences. Throw Stephen Miller into a CIA black site and watch how fast this crazy shit stops.
Seems more like a self own.

I ran across some of the most incompetent, idiots in the military. They kept re-enlisting every four years because they wouldn’t make it on the outside. The problem was they had been in long enough to hold the middle ranks.
At this point he has pushed so hard and destroyed so much that I doubt he knows the amount of damage he’s done, or if there will be a price to pay.

I keep seeing people on the right say, “No one has a sense of humor anymore.” There’s nothing wrong with my sense of humor. This shit isn’t funny. You have to have the mental maturity of a twelve year-old to find it funny.

The people that would take advantage of this wouldn’t have the ability for critical thinking skills. I doubt the kids would be much better.

I hate how he speaks like a four year old.
