Looks like the scandals aren’t limited to DHS…Labor says “hold my beer”….

“The husband of Labor Secretary Lori Chavez-DeRemer has been barred from the department’s headquarters after at least two female staff members told officials that he had sexually assaulted them, according to people familiar with the decision and a police report obtained by The New York Times...One of the incidents, during working hours on the morning of Dec. 18, was recorded on office security cameras, the people said.”
…
The widening misconduct scandal at the Labor Department has forced several aides and members of the security staff in Ms. Chavez-DeRemer’s inner circle onto administrative and investigative leave.

The inspector general’s office is investigating a formal complaint that Ms. Chavez-DeRemer was having an inappropriate sexual relationship with a subordinate — a member of her security detail— and abusing her office by taking staff to strip clubs, drinking alcohol on the job and taking personal trips at taxpayer expense.”

I fully expect Trump to pardon him if convicted of sexual misconduct or rape after all the victims were women and we know what Trump thinks of women...
 
This was posted in the russian thread but it is a very good read - one thing it illustrate is that Biden was on top of things but also how well the various dept of his administration worked together to approach 'big' problems:

A war foretold: how the CIA and MI6 got hold of Putin’s Ukraine plans and why nobody believed them

Drawing on more than 100 interviews with senior intelligence officials and other insiders in multiple countries, this exclusive account details how the US and Britain uncovered Vladimir Putin’s plans to invade, and why most of Europe – including the Ukrainian president, Volodymyr Zelenskyy –...

This is very different than the Trump administration where they think they are invincible and can take a sledge hammer to anything that is in the way - sometime hitting each other in the process:

Pretty on point for Cadet Bonespurs really. He has no shame, morals or integrity, harbors massive insecurity towards the military so he enjoys holding power over it. He just screwed enlisted over with that 1776 nonsense, pulled it from housing funds and made it taxable. To Trump the military is just another appendage of the government to squeeze money from, through a variety of underhanded corrupt schemes. He didn't stop at exorbitantly overcharging the SS after making them stay at his properties.

He's giving the overhaul and maintenance tab for his Qatari bribe to the US taxpayer. A guy illegally released Trump's taxes, got caught and was sentenced. Trump is now suing the IRS and Treasury for 10billion because of it. I think we're beyond amazing.

The idea is to rip off as much money as possible while he is still upright, capable of speech. He's down to a 4th grade level of English now. A senile pedo prone to treason pisses on our troops yet again, and magats will lap it up. *retch*
 
a big bold font saying JUSTICE with his pic under it seems wrong on every imaginable level. I can't wait to see this arch monumentthing he's having constructed to honor himself. I know he claims it's being built to honor 250th anniversary of the Decleration Of Independents. But there's no way he doesn't make this about himself and somehow plaster his ugly face on it somewhere.

On Google

"As of early 2026, Donald Trump has proposed constructing a 250-foot-tall "triumphal arch" monument in Washington, D.C., to commemorate the 250th anniversary of the Declaration of Independence. Planned for the area near the Lincoln Memorial, this structure is designed to surpass the size of Paris’s Arc de Triomphe."

The proposed monument, sometimes referred to as the "Independence Arch" or "Arc de Trump,"

more like "Arch de Dump"
 
I saw a comment somewhere saying that the greatest strength of US compared to China and Russia, is not mainly the military and economic power, but the number of allies it has.

Let's see how that develops...

100%. But that is rapidly changing for the worse for us. I have to imagine right now that there are only a few scenarios where our allies would still help us with almost no hesitation (natural disaster, terrorist attack, etc). For everything else? I would expect them to ask for something in return before committing any resources

Yeah, but the man children are setting that on fire. This administration is the biggest self own in global power in history.
 
American tourism is doomed—white elderly British grandma is speaking out after she was shackled and detained at the US/Canadian border, and then spent 6 weeks in an ICE hellhole all while she had a valid tourist visa, no criminal record, and offered to pay for plane tickets home for her and her husband.

They’re paid bonuses based on detentions regardless of who they detain…so it’s all just a numbers game now.

Beyond the inhumanity of it all, it is also all such a terrible waste of money and all so stupid. Like, the US "won" big time - people want our money, access to our economy, want to visit, want to live and work here, and Americans can easily travel around the country or world with all they earn from the economic activity generated by being the US (thanks to having the highest median household income). And the people in the Republican party saw all that prosperity and decided that they hate it and are busy trying to flush it all away.
