His whole administration isn't worth a single fireman of 9/11.
Melissa Hortman and her husband was assassinated by a deranged man who had a whole list of politicians he planned to kill, but Charlie Kirk's assassination is the new 9/11? Conservative politicians have completely abandoned reason and logic to only rely on emotional manipulations to control their voters.
They are all insane. For pity sake - comparing Charlie Kirk's death to 9/11 is absolutely despicable.
It is deeply disturbing to know that top USA administrators are not required to come across as sane.
They’re normalizing the use of the terms, ‘domestic terrorism’, ‘national emergency’, etc in order to facilitate emergency powers that grant autocratic-like, unitary authority to the executive branch. This is nuts and it’s getting worse by the day.
Bessent owes 3000 families a sincere apology and should beg for their forgiveness.
Atrociously and utterly insulting to the victims of 9/11.
McCarthyism at it’s finest 🤦🏼♀️
The corruption is insane! 40 billion dollars! Americans can’t buy groceries and pay rent, and 40 billion is going to Argentina? We are in trouble!
Scott Bessent doesn't need to "cool off" and "take a walk around the block". He needs to be arrested, handcuffed, and perp-walked into a jail cell pending trial.
