Scott Jennings Does not care. CNN does not care The MAGA/QAnon 77 million Voters do not care. The Republican House & Senate do not care. The right wing SCOTUS does not care. The Billionaires do not care. Wall Street Corporations do not care. The Project 2025 Christian White Nationalists do not care.

Apparently no-one else cares either, as apart from #nokings there was no further protest worth mentioning overseas. Have democracy-loving Americans resignated this quickly?

So, what did Long refuse to do for Trump that Bessent will?

guess Long didn’t show enough fealty to king Trump so he is out! What a clown show this administration is but they are getting away with it as no one can or will stop them. This is how our democracy dies!

But why? We were reliably assured by none other than the United States Senate, an August body if ever there was one, that he was qualified!

Sadly the GOP is willing to torch all the institutions and therefore the country. America is in decline

Americans losing benefits and livelihood as Trump uses our tax money like personal revenge piggy bank to sue people doing their jobs prosecuting him for crimes. Where is the balance of power between Supreme Court and Republican GOP majority? Impeach. Blame them all for the gutting of America. Amen

He seems to be running this administration like his old TV show, The Apprentice. High turnover results in instability, increasing costs, reduced productivity & quality, damaging morale, & hindering the organization’s overall stability and resilience.

The orange guy needs control of the $$ If authoritarianism continues, no one will be able to question how the $$ is spent. He could become the first trillionaire pres. while still in office. Scary thought. 😨 😔

So like five dudes are going to run everything? Hey @cnn.com when do you plan on covering this like journalists? Or even just Americans. This isn’t normal and you are happy with helping this monster. A generation of people grew up believing your news, now you are just a collaborator America for sale
