Special thanks to Mitch McConnell for protecting Trump endlessly. We know that he voted for his return.

If only America had more than a 2-week attention span. Goodbye, guardrails. Goodbye, competence. Goodbye, The Great Experiment. Hello, absolute corruption. Hello, incompetence. Buckle up!

This is deliberate and vindictive. Trump has stated, "Revenge takes time and can be justified." This is all part of Trump's revenge. Trump loves to tell the story of the snake: "You knew I was a snake when you took me in." That story is an autobiography. I am disgusted with anyone who voted for him but more so with Merrick Garland who wimped out of holding Trump to account in the first place. Trump should have NEVER been allowed on the ballot. YOU LET THE SNAKE

Loyalty to Donnie is all Trump cares about. The idea that Trump actually cares about government & the American people is ludicrous.

[markg.]

America is a joke, for putting that clown back in office.

[Neverland]

When MAGA gets what they voted for, I will laugh in their face as they cry. Our allies around the world are mocking the stupidity of 76 million Americans

[leeyocom]

Don't have to worry about international terrorism. We've already done it to ourselves.

[georgefarrington]

Trump is giving all Americans the middle finger.

[MikeW_is_entertained]

The FBI Director who can’t even pass an FBI background check. 🤦🏽‍♂️

[nigelcurtis]

May God help you in the USA 🙏 76 million people voted for this Insanity 😪

[clairerobinson]

The dystopian future unfolds daily. It’s sad but I’m becoming resigned to the demise of the country.

[esthavera]

Thanks again for not prosecuting the J6 ringleader, Merrick!

[stephanieunderland]

Patel as director of the FBI, is not only stupid, but dangerous

[HowardDodds]

Canadian friend here .... Loudmouth Trump has not chosen one single qualified person yet ? .... His disdain for the integrity of your democracy is abhorrent. You just can't make this shit up folks, this is beyond parody ! You might as well laugh as cry?

[ray]

I'm a US Army veteran and I am totally checking out of everything that has to do with politics I don't care anymore What happens to this country. Because It's like you do everything right for the betterment of this country and yet a bunch of stupid people got together and put the worst and most dangerous candidate in office. It's like you showing up to work everyday busting your ass never calling out sick or taking a vacation day and then you get past up for that promotion and the worst person in the office whose friends with the boss gets the job. The country needs to learn a lesson because it seems it hasn't learned the lessons of the past of other authoritarians throughout history.

[susanbracken]

All these candidates are exactly what Trump wants- destroy every section of government by incompetence 🤬

[natluxton]

He didn't hide his intentions, but America voted for him anyway, and this is the outcome... it's a sad, sad day for America 💔

[rescuelover]

What the hell is going on in this country, and how is Trump allowed to put these stooges in high positions. If I had the money, I would leave, but I do not. I am 72 and this is just unfathomable to me. You are not cursed, Tim. It's just how fast things are happening in this world. You are doing great work, and we need all the help we can get from people like you who have a platform.

[patti]

Mitch McConell and Merick Garland should be proud of what they've created!

[AuroraMeansDawn]

Once again, IF Garland had done his job, ALL of these .... would have been in jail.
