Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!

Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.
Example:
- Articles must be relevant to US politics and contain quality and original content. Social Media adjacent hosts like Substack are allowed, but ONLY if they tie back to a company/subsidiary. No personal or friend group blogs and no self-promotion. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and re-hosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
- Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing other users of being bots or paid actors.
- No memes, trolling, misinformation, or low-effort posts/comments (including reposts). If you see posts like this that anger you, do not engage. Report, block, and live a happier life than they do. Any slap-fight is subject to comment removals. Fights full of rule violations will result in temporary bans to cool off.

We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules and use critical thinking when reading, posting, and commenting. Users that repeatedly have comments or posts removed, weaponize reports, or violate the code of conduct, will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed.

I feel like he's just trying his best to fit in with the white people.
He looks so surprised
Everything seems to be a surprise for this guy.
I was looking at the picture with the story and thinking "Finally. He looks relaxed!"
“President Trump has assembled the most talented and impressive Administration in history..."
Why do they have to talk like this? Why make an absurd claim instead of any of the more plausible positive things she could say? Are they trying to out-compete each other for the dictator's favor?
Also, why do they all capitalize like Trump? Hold on, did Trump write this statement?
They talk like this because it's what Trump wants to hear.
He may have written her statement directly, but it's equally likely that if someone doesn't include shit like that in a public statement, the President will personally berate them.
Propaganda. That’s why. That’s the only reason.
One by one all the "house" minority pawns will be pushed out.
Tokens get spent
Oh please let it be a Futurama-style firing
Yes please.
If he gets fired it won't be for breaking the law, but for being so incompetent at it.
Is it something to do with not editing the Epstein files? I'd be surprised that Patel wouldn't...

Perhaps he found someone even more incompetent.
I honestly don't give a fuck. My only hope is he whistle blows and brings down as much as shit as possible when he is fired
He won’t, because he lacks the spine and willpower to stand up for himself. He’s aware he’s a token hire who doesn’t want to be deported from the country he’s aiding in a grift, so he’s willing to eat crow.
Right. I know it's wishful thinking. Plus knowing this admin he could whistle blow the whole chain and nothing would happen.
He should try writing another children's book about Trump being king and see if that helps.
If I know anything about this president its that he loves getting his dick sucked.
He's so bad at investigating, he will likely be surprised when it happens!
