Actions resulted in disaster

The two failed attempts by Democrats to impeach Trump in his first term of office has led, eventually, to a second Trump term. Now, after more than a year into Trump’s second term, we have had Trumpโ€™s dubbing of Elon Musk as the head of DOGE and their subsequent decimation of USAID, the IRS and Social Security. The complete failure of Pam Bondi and the Department of Justice in their releasing only parts of and heavily redacted Epstein files. Todd Blanche, the deputy director of DOJ, who, after interviewing Ghislaine Maxwell, a convicted sex trafficker, then immediately allowed her to be transferred to a minimum security prison. Bondi and Blanche both served previously as Trump’s personal lawyers. FBI director Kash Patel joyriding in a government plane while firing many agents who investigated Trump’s mishandling of classified documents and letting go of key Iranian counterintelligence agents, days before we started bombing Iran. The now disgraced Kristi Noem, who was head of Homeland Security, responsible for masked and unidentified ICE agents murdering innocent protesters Renee Good and Alex Pretti. Then we have โ€œBorder Czarโ€ Tom (Deep Pockets) Holman who was filmed taking a $50,000 bribe from FBI undercover agents. Former heroin addict Robert Kennedy Jr. as the head of Health and Human services. A former Fox news anchor, Pete Hegseth, who is leading the charge in the takeovers of both Venezuela and Iran. So, without even mentioning what Trump himself has been doing, these are Trumpโ€™s handpicked appointees assembled for Trump 2.0. The appointment of all these people has one thing in common with the cow that tried to jump over a barbed-wire fence. They have all resulted in an utter disaster.
