Like attracts like. Trump is a lying, grifting, self-promoting, bigoted, corrupt authoritarian. Of course he's going to hire people with those same attributes.

He keeps giving us more reasons to attend a Hands Off! protest this Saturday. More than 1000 of them are planned across the country, in every state. Check handsoff2025.org for one near you and for tips on how to hold your own protest. A few friends + a few signs + visibility = a protest. Help mobilize America to peacefully save our democracy. Courage is contagious.

Firings, resignations—and impeachments.

With the cabinet of clowns that Trump has gathered around him, it has forced people who think and assume that something like this would occur. It wasn't the only exchange that occurred in an uncontrolled security environment. I agree that heads should roll. We have to continue to talk about it until the GOP get the message that it is not going away. Until some or all connected with it resign or are fired.

Hegseth and Gabbard should never have been confirmed. Thanks Senator A!@ H#$% Schumer for your lily livered confirmations. The whole trumpslime mindset that anything they do is "perfect and beautiful" no matter how it harms the United States and it's Constitution and law affirming citizens.

What can be done? Amendment 25 won’t happen thanks to JD. Impeachment is dead in the water in the house and even if it squeaked by the senate will kill it. We have been discussing it and can’t come up with a solution.

Every participant (with the exception of Mr. Goldberg) should be brought up on charges. These are top level officials though I can’t say why. They knew what they were doing, they didn’t care and had no regard whatsoever for the lives of those dedicated to the security and defense of our country and its people. And they’ve made a habit of it for their own convenience. This goes beyond negligence and I consider it criminal.
