I thought Bessent was the worst.

Do all these people have special mouthwash to get the taste of Trump's tiny pecker out of their mouths?
Bessent rode Soros' coattails, then failed at his own hedge fund.
There's a five-dollar word. I had to look it up. There's enough bullshit and resentment on Twitter to get a total grifter elected president. Missing a period, BTW.
Holy shit. David McCormick has one vertebrae in his spine!
If John Roberts doesn't hate himself for ushering in autocracy, he's even less human than I thought.

My firm represents FBI Special Agent in Charge of Las Vegas Field Office Spencer Evans, a decorated 21 year veteran, who was just summarily fired by Dir #KashPatel. No due process. Fired because he followed COVID protocol instructions issued by Justice Dept back in 2021-22.
This is the beginning of the end of federalism. Like Buchanan, who failed to prevent the Civil War, Trump will go down as the president who brought about disunion (and possibly another civil war). www.nytimes.com/2025/08/05/u...
Is the TACO trade drying up? Trump says pharma tariffs could hit 250%, and LLY, for one, is down just 0.4%.
More of these people should be stressed about how much money they've saved. So few of us have saved enough.
