“I don’t have a problem with President Trump. I got a problem with some of the people I consider to be amateurs advising him. And I want to make it very clear to them: When you act like the president when he’s out of the room, you don’t impress me.”
Hmmm. Another Stephen Miller sighting?
But isn't it always the fault of advisors, in recent U.S. history? Some underling started Watergate. A whole bunch of underlings told LBJ he could win Vietnam. Etc. As though what's fundamentally wrong with this present administration is just the wayward underlings doing poor work or giving even poorer advice. About Hegseths’ recent failure to inform the White House before he authorized a pause on weapons shipments to Ukraine: “The whole idea of having a pause on Ukraine defensive arms, that’s just amateurish.” And in the same interview, he added: “With the passing of time, I think it’s clear Hegseth’s out of his depth as a manager of a large, complex organization.”
About passage of the BBB tax and spending cuts package that Trump signed into law last week -- without Tillis’s vote -- Tillis volunteered this political warning: “I told the president, I really do believe the Big Beautiful Bill could be his Obamacare. I think it’s politically just devastating.”
And Tillis said he stood on principle against any presidential nominee who "excuses" January 6th: “They’re not going to get confirmed in my remaining tenure in the US Senate.”
Yeah, right. In the immediate aftermath of that threat, Tillis announced he'll "probably" vote to advance the nomination of Emil Bove, Trump’s former criminal defense attorney and unethical hit-man, picked for a lifetime judgeship on the Third Circuit Court of Appeals. Bove was instrumental in the presidential pardon for the Jan. 6th rioters.

Why keep harping on this poor old equivocating turkey?
I dread his replacement.
I've been to the Peabody at Yale and touched the stuffed Dodo bird. (They are too cheap to install a barrier.) Noem's inadequacy is an asset because her job is to sabotage. She's a purposeful misfit. As a Jurassic movie genre promotion they now claim dinosaurs (and other extinct creatures) can be cloned. Our institutions seem bent on cloning Nazism, and on mass birthing storm troopers. Why is that?
A barnyard full of Dodos won't replace Nature.
