The offenses of Trump’s second-term cabinet members tend to be ones of loyalty or sycophancy,
rarely of independent thought.
Whatever damage the secretaries inflict on their country or their reputations is done on the president’s orders and on his behalf.
In Trump’s first term, sacrificing cabinet members meant firing them, or pushing them to resign.
In the second term, it means keeping them in the job for as long as those shields retain even marginal power.

Personnel once meant policy; now it means flattery.

If El Cheato wants to go after corruption here's one that is close to home...
To me this item suggests that we really ought to leave DHS unfunded, permanently.

“The United States of America came within a few minutes of dying at the Battle of Gettysburg.
In fact, America came within seconds of being destroyed.
During those decisive moments a unit of the United States Army saved the republic.
The saviors of the Union were from Minnesota.”

Thank you, Minnesota
There is no greater obligation for an American than loyalty to the Constitution of the United States.

Anthropic CEO Dario Amodei Says ‘Mission’ Helps Fend Off Rivals

Training cannot correct for deficiencies resulting from a lack of vetting.
Remember what federal LEOs are normally screened for (CARLA F. BAD):
Character
Associates
Reputation
Loyalty
Ability
Finances
Bias
Alcohol/Addictions
Drugs
ICE is not being vetted against any of these.
Shut it down.

Mueller, She Wrote (@muellershewrote.com)
No. We don’t need to “modify ICE training.” We need to close DHS. Dismantle it. It’s an outdated expensive bureaucracy that’s been usurped by violent white supremacists. Shut it down.

it's bank cards as pseudo ID cards rather than doing it properly. The next step will be store loyalty cards. Afterall, they do know rather a lot about you!

I suspect that most people do not recognize how terrible this proposal is.
It is a return to the patronage system of the 1860s where people were hired into and fired from government positions, not on merit, but on loyalty and patronage.
If you think the Federal bureaucracy is slow and sometimes indifferent now, just wait until those bureaucrats operate not out of concern for the country and its citizens but for their jobs and salaries.

Officials estimate that around 50,000 federal workers will be stripped of their civil service protections beginning in around a month, as unions, employee associations and good government groups decry their positions’ politicization.

Here's the uncomfortable part. NATO is cowardly and inept. If that was not true, Ukraine would not still be trying to expel Russia from its territory.
But of course, that's not the context here, and telling your 'friends' they are cowards even when they did in fact come to your aid and spilled blood the one time you asked, is not how you keep those friends.
But #TheAmericanFascist is not interested in friendship. He only wants loyalty and fealty. He’s not getting it. On that, NATO is right.

She's entirely charming, and not some representative of billionaires bought and paid for.
Hard to imagine how anyone could watch her talking to Zack for an hour here and then vote for someone else, out of what? Loyalty to Labour that have shown no loyalty to you? Hate with reform who run an our of town GBeebies lunatic?
Will Farage interview his mad candidate for an hour? Will Starmer? Would doing so do anything other than expose those candidates and turn everyone off?
[Some context: Her dogs are greyhounds, rescued from mistreatment in the gambling and racing industry.]
