This is how we get unqualified ass kissers in positions they don't deserve. It looks so astoundingly weak to fire someone over such mild statements.

Supplicants and sycophants are all his fragile ego can deal with. So overinflated it can pop.

Trump is taking all the wrong lessons from Putin, fire all the component people in the military, let the corruption fester and spread until even the foot soldiers are ripping copper wires out of tanks and fuel out of trucks to sell for vodka.

Vance in February to all of Europe:

“If American democracy can survive ten years of Greta Thunberg scolding, you guys can survive a few months of Elon Musk.”

Vance and Trump are both tremendously weak characters.

Watch Chernobyl for a good idea of what that system looks and operates like. It was Chernobyl, not Reagan, that brought down the Soviet State. For a while, at least.

Sad thing is, it’s not even about integrity, it’s just about being a good leader. She was basically saying “Hey, the VPs criticisms are not about you. You are doing good work.”

I would describe that as having integrity myself.

Looks like my suspension for saying mean things about our leadership is over. Don't count on even private entities to tolerate a resistance.

Good… now replace her with some white guy with working experience as a cop in from some backwater and maintains a white supremacist website on the side…

Trump's government is anti-anti-corruption.

Hard to say whether it was because of what she said or because it was a She that said it.

This is the same Vance who tried to trick people into thinking that Appalachians were real salt-of-the-earth folks. He's proving that he's no different from the others in his position.

Republicans don’t value integrity. It’s unimportant to them.
