speak easy

I am no fan of conspiracy theories, but I can not ignore the facts - [View all]

Everything, literally everything the administration has done has weakened the United States.

If it was one thing, tariffs or NATO, you could put it down to ideology, but whether it’s killing scientific and medical research, or crippling our response to natural disasters, or gutting the Federal Government wholesale, when you add it all up, you have to conclude it is by design, a plan to break the U.S. politically, economically, internationally, in defense and soft power,
in everything.

This is an anti-American Administration.

Doh! Yeah, I know, I’m slow on the uptake. My apologies to those who saw what it was from the get go.
