Esper is just another "if it weren't for me" former Trump officials who make it sound as if they saved the world from Donald Trump and his ideas. The problem is that much of what of what Esper (and many like him) calls Trumps crazy ideas and demands are just that. Ideas being bounced off advisors meant to get a reaction and advice from advisors as to what to do about a certain situation. Trump may throw out the extreme response while the advisors may be proposing a timid, weak response. The real response was usually somewhere in the middle so Esper's whining about Trump's ideas serves no purpose other than to glorify Esper and make Trump look bad.

But above all else Trump wanted to hire Moscow hookers to pee in a bed in a hotel where butch ‘n bammy once slept. (He could get no one to certify that it was the same bed sheets). Espresso Mucho personally stopped this from happening by engaging the hookers in other activities. This is all self evidently documented in a memo financed by hillREE! Clitton. This weasel is a self proclaimed hero to all weasels everywhere! Rejoice! He saved them! He’s thinking about changing his name to jesus mucho and going to work for the drug cartels he saved from many many missile attacks.

Hasn't anyone looked at the way DJT has negotiated throughout his life? He often throws a bunch of outlandish ideas around and makes his staff defend them. It is also a strategy used to rattle his opponents. The more accurate barometer is what did he accomplish? Nice try never-trumpers

Lol, Mark Esper, another complete freakin whack job running his mouth. Another book that will sell about ten copies. You have to be a complete moron to buy one of those books. Just like that other Trump hater, Liz Cheney. Her book sold about a hundred copies in its first week. And they were probably all family members who bought them.

President Joe Biden delivered another speech at the White House about inflation on Tuesday, blaming everyone but himself for skyrocketing prices. The president refused to take responsibility for inflation, arguing his trillions in dollars in government spending in 2021 were only trying to help people. “I think our policies help. Not hurt,” he said to reporters when asked if he accepted responsibility for the problem.“The vast majority of the economists think that this is going to be a real tough problem to solve, but it’s not because of spending,” he claimed.The president spoke as gasoline and diesel prices hit new record highs in the United States.

The combination of the Constitution’s 15th and 19th amendments gave black men and women the right to vote in any election for whomever they decide, yet there are some who misinterpret our ability to vote as being determinative of what party we should vote for. While it is true that the majority of black Americans vote Democrat, those amendments gave us the right to vote with our individual interests in mind and not be gatekept in the political process.Sunny Hostin, co-host of the daytime show “The View,” had a moment of honest ignorance Friday as she stated, “I don’t understand black Republicans,” and said a black Republican is “an oxymoron.”

Oil and natural gas companies must reduce their absolute emissions by 26% by 2030, based on 2019 emission levels, Wells Fargo said last week. Other power sector businesses must see a 60% reduction during the same time period. The new rules from Wells Fargo are part of a trend from financial institutions around the world to implement such climate regulations for its lending programs, joining the likes of Citigroup Inc. and the United Nations-convened Net-Zero Banking Alliance.

When you think of everything that's gone wrong with the U.S. military -- from its wokester agenda, to its failure to contain Russia, to its breakdown in discipline, to the presence of Gen. Mark Milley on the Joint Chiefs of Staff, pretty much all of it has the name of Mark Esper, President Trump's former defense secretary, all over it. Rather than slink off into obscurity after such a performance, if not back to the big-bucks war-machine defense-contractor lobby whence he sprang, he's out shilling a tell-all book and promoting it on 60 Minutes in a bid to discredit the man he purportedly "served," President Trump.
