Trump’s officials are quietly concerned about his “blatant criminal behavior.” What took them so long?

It is time to stop examining the chaos and time to do something about it.

I have a source inside the Trump regime who feels, in their own words, “a little disillusioned.” This person says they signed on to the Trump team because of “DEI going too far” and because “woke culture was dividing the country,” but is now concerned about the “blatant criminal behavior” of Donald Trump. Really? His last administration didn’t show you that? Well, OK.

This source first approached me by saying, “I can provide you bonafides to show you I’m serious.” That impressed me because I didn’t think many people inside the Trump regime knew what bonafides were, let alone how to be serious.

This source’s concerns about Trump are indeed legitimate, and deserve to be heard. “Not all of us are buying everything he says,” this person told me. “We understand the problem, but we see no solution. You guys in the press, with very few exceptions, are not trustworthy. Congress can’t be trusted and the judiciary so far hasn’t been able to stop him.”

    Two extremely qualified women both were defeated by the worst candidate in our countries history.

    I love AOC and her policies, but this country has proven it’ll vote for literally the worst encapsulation of boomer greed than vote for a capable and competent woman. Twice.

    The Democrats are morons if they pick a woman to run next time. Simple as that.

    Let AOC kick Schumer out and take his senate seat. She would be much more effective there.

      Clinton won the popular vote, and Harris lost because of her last minute hard-right turn alienated everyone.

      That worst candidate didn’t win by a landslide either time, so I don’t think it’s fair to say America will never vote for a woman. Lots of Americans did vote for a woman. According to CNN: “More Americans voted for Hillary Clinton than any other losing presidential candidate in US history.”

      People forget that aside from the email bullshit, it was widely reported that Clinton received something like 26 million dollars for speaking engagements, behind closed doors to bankers and American robber barons. Some parts of her speeches were leaked, but she never released any transcripts. I think that fueled voter apathy and “both sides the same” feeling for a lot of people, including two-income families struggling to make ends meet.

      You think if a man had done the same, no-one except Bernie Sanders would care?

      As for the second strong capable woman, I voted for her, despite her seeming support for the ongoing genocide. I’m not convinced that election was legit.

      You have to blame media for its part in it.

      Social media played a heavy hand in artificially inflating trump with its complete and blatant refusal step in and curtail any of the deluge of manufactured bullshit, fake AI controlled accounts, troll farm posts, blatant misinformation, etc, etc, etc.

      broadcast media as well, for being so thirsty for ratings and another trump presidency they basically sanewashed every thing he did, when they could bother reporting on it at all, because they knew if he got elected it’d be 4 more years of people desperately turning in every day to see what fresh horrors trump was unleashing, which would drive ratings and revenues to the stratosphere.

          Bernies would’ve been a good example, no longer as he’s too old. Pritzker would’ve been. Anyone who doesn’t bend to the establishment.

          People who follow security procedure would be pretty great too.

          Hillary is so establishment entrenched it’s ridiculous. Harris did not have a spine enough to run her own campaign right. Those are what I feel make them less qualified for the office.

          I don’t exactly go around looking at politicians to see if I think they’d be good as presidents …
