Trump’s officials are quietly concerned about his “blatant criminal behavior.” What took them so long?

It is time to stop examining the chaos and time to do something about it.

I have a source inside the Trump regime who feels, in their own words, “a little disillusioned.” This person says they signed on to the Trump team because of “DEI going too far” and because “woke culture was dividing the country,” but is now concerned about the “blatant criminal behavior” of Donald Trump. Really? His last administration didn’t show you that? Well, OK.

This source first approached me by saying, “I can provide you bonafides to show you I’m serious.” That impressed me because I didn’t think many people inside the Trump regime knew what bonafides were, let alone how to be serious.

This source’s concerns about Trump are indeed legitimate, and deserve to be heard. “Not all of us are buying everything he says,” this person told me. “We understand the problem, but we see no solution. You guys in the press, with very few exceptions, are not trustworthy. Congress can’t be trusted and the judiciary so far hasn’t been able to stop him.”

    Bullshit. “Woke culture” is also filled with evangelism, moralizing, and authoritarian assertion. You guys just want different people beaten with sticks by the pigs.

      DEI and “woke culture” made me feel seen as a person with a disability and a facial paralysis. 100 years ago I would have been an orphan and hidden away. Not long before that I would have been “sacrificed” as an evil baby.

      Did corporations cash in on that? Yes they did because that’s all corporations are supposed to do is make money and bleed the consumer.

      If you are anti-woke and anti-DEI then you’re really saying you want to include everyone who looks like you and relegate those who don’t to obscurity either by way of deportation, exile, slavery, or death. It’s exactly like what every country perpetuating genocide has done in history.

      What is your solution to my problem of again not feeling like I can go out in public because of this administration’s policies. What about to the LGBTQIA people who are afraid that their marriage will be nulled or are also afraid to go out in public?

      Are you ok with fixing people different from you back to isolation, declining mental health, and attempts to take their life because of getting rid of DEI?

        I live my life, look out for my neighbors, don’t litter, and don’t talk to cops. You’re all naive enough to think your opinion holds value 20 feet outside your radius.

        Experience. You all want police enforcing your sense of morality. All about freedom until your feelings get hurt.

      No, you just get 100% of your political knowledhe from the Conservative Propaganda Machine.

      All Woke means is “Live and Let Live.” What is the problem with some people choosing different paths for their lives? You go your way, they go theirs. As long as you don’t mess with their journey, nobody will mess with yours. See how that works?

        Woke means “I noticed that society and it’s systems treat certain groups of people much worse than others. We should fix that.”

        Which, yeah, means “live it and let live” but in a way that implies a call to action, lest you be a willing participant in oppression.
