What is the price for corruption and incompetence?

Can you name even on person in the Cabinet of this regime that is competent? At one time, many woud have said Marco Rubio. But he has shown himself to be nothing but a quisling.

But it was never about competence. It was only about loyalty. If you are incompetent, but loyal, that is the only qualification you need.

No, not one. Not one person in our government will stand up to the lying tyrant.

I wish I could be more positive today but these people do not instill a whole of confidence.

In theory Burgum is a conventional pick for interior by the GOP.

Scott Bessent seems like a pretty typical treasury appointment.

Competent for a public servant means you work for the American people.

Anyone who works for Trump only does things for his benefit alone.
