Donald Trump’s Big Gay Government - The New York Times (I have not read this particular article but Tucker Carlson, who has gay connections himself—writer of his biography and television producer--said of it:

 

“Many Republican women moved to Trump-era Washington in search of a fruitful dating scene. They thought the president’s re-election would attract a herd of bachelors to the nation’s capital. The plan quickly went haywire. 

“Why? Because “everybody’s freaking gay.”

“That’s what War Room co-host Natalie Winters told The New York Times during an interview for its Tuesday piece, “Donald Trump’s Big Gay Government.” The article highlights this administration’s apparent unprecedented homosexuality, detailing an environment where zesty conservatives feel comfortable flaunting their flamboyant selves for the world to see. 

“The treasury secretary? Gay. The president’s top pollster? Gay. The Kennedy Center chief? Gay. The list goes on.

“Donald Trump makes this possible….

Idaho Pastor Charged with Possessing ‘Horrific’ Child Sexual Abuse Material

 

The Daly Weekly (9/19) - by John A. Daly  Commentator John Daly, a professed conservative, writes:

 

  • After the 2020 election, Trump tried to overturn U.S. democracy to stay in power, conned millions of Americans into believing the “rigged election” lie, and provoked the January 6 attack at the U.S. Capitol (that he watched play out on television for hours, while cops were getting the crap beat out of them, and elected leaders and their staffers barricaded doors or fled for their safety). In the end, our country was shamefully denied of its peaceful transfer of power, there was needless death and severe injuries, undue damage was caused to people’s faith in our democratic system, election officials faced brutal harassment and death threats, lives and careers were ruined, and roughly 1,600 criminals were granted full pardons (including those who assaulted police officers, some of whom had to retire from the force because of their injuries).
  • He has a dirt-low view of members of our military, as illustrated (among other things) by his mockery of American POWs for their capture, and his describing of soldiers who paid the ultimate price as "suckers" and "losers." (Yes, I do believe Kelly and Milley).
  • His bizarre adoration of Vladimir Putin has undermined U.S. intelligence agencies, previously strong international alliances, and Ukraine’s very survival.
  • His far-left trade policies have done extraordinary (and completely unnecessary) damage to wages, employment, job security, private enterprise, the cost of living, and — again — our relationship with longtime allies (some of whom are now, as a result, pursuing stronger business relationships with our enemies). His spending is out of control, and he has already signed more national-debt into law than any other president in U.S. history (by far).
  • He spreads all kind of reckless conspiracy theories, he’s casually dishonest (well exceeding normal political parameters), he goes out of his way to be cruel and vindictive, he has a very weak grasp of very important issues, he has little regard for the U.S. Constitution, he has staffed his administration with unqualified sycophants, he has purged many highly-qualified and competent individuals from public office, and he regularly puts his ego above the good of the country.

Hope that helps, Rob 😉. And to head-off some expected replies: No, none of what I just wrote is a defense of Democrats.
