Summary

Trump evicted former Coast Guard Commandant Linda Fagan from her military housing with just three hours’ notice, despite an earlier 60-day waiver.

Fagan, the first woman to lead a military branch, was dismissed on Trump’s second day in office over concerns about DEI policies and border security.

Homeland Security officials cited her termination as justification, though sources called it a “petty” move.

Fagan was forced to leave most belongings behind, spending the night with friends while awaiting relocation of her personal items.

      Ain’t nothing classy or dignified about drone bombing kids at a wedding.

      Obama had great P.R.

          Obama was another shitty corporate president with a cabinet picked by Goldman Sachs. Anything seems better, compared to Trump, but his inaction on the economy to help the working class is why Trump followed and not another Democrat.

            No. It’s because they tried ramming Hillary Clinton down our throat, and she wanted to run against him.

            Literally any other Democrat would have smoked Trump in 2016.

            Without DWS we would have had Sanders vs. Romney.

            Good is a stretch for politicians. We have to keep voting for better until we at least get back to “mediocre”.
