Martin, your points are spot on. Carrying your remarks further, what happens when an enemy realizes this is the perfect time to attack the U.S. and we have wiped out our intelligence gathering, alienated our international allies and replaced decades of military know-how with a bunch of "Ken and Barbie" dolls? For all the concerns I generally have about the military and the intelligence community, they are there for a reason. It is terrifying to think we could be looking at another 9-11 because our co-presidents (Trump and Musk) didn't realize the military and intelligence communities are important.
I was thinking about Kristi Noem and Karoline Leavitt when I mentioned the Barbies. In San Diego, Trump runs a TV ad every night featuring Kristi Noem praising Trump, the deportations and telling undocumented people to leave while they still can. Who is paying for this if we are supposed to be saving money? In how many markets are they doing these ad buys? What is this costing? I haven't seen any press reports on this continuing ad campaign.
This is a nightmare!! I’m concerned that there are no checks on Trumps power unless the Congress were to somehow remove him from office using military force. Is that even possible?
As far as I know there are two ways to get him out, impeachment or the 14th amendment which requires people around him to file a complaint that he is mentally unfit to serve. The likelihood of either is zero right now but that could change. And he would fight tooth and nail and he has a virtually bottomless legal war chest. Wish I could be more encouraging but I’m not seeing it.

They’re broadcasting them here in Rochester, NY too so I think it’s a national campaign.
Today The Hill has an article about these ads. It's the first questioning I have seen.
