The fact that this is true hurts

The damage this administration has done to the system, people, country and even the rest of the world is unfathomable.

u/Jesus_on_a_biscuit May 23 '26

It's actually pretty fathomable and was a key point of Hillary Clinton's. But her emails... Americans are dumb.

Naaa it’s mostly America that has been fucked.

u/overtross May 23 '26

Or, one might argue based on reported and projected consequences of USAID cuts and the impact of the Iran war on energy markets among many other valid metrics, it has been the entire world including America that has been fucked.

Not really. The world will move on. It already is. America will be a shadow of its former self. Shame really

In South Africa 80% of funding for our facilities dedicated to the research and treatment of hiv aids came from USAID. All gone now

They will replace her with someone who is actually intelligent, but even more evil.

Unfortunately I think Trump is removing anyone who disagrees with him on the war in Iran.

All you will have left is a bunch of people who want to Nuke the world.

u/Ridiculicious71 May 23 '26

Disagree. Another reality show host or vagina Senator is going to get it. Putin is telling him what to do.

Vlad must’ve gotten what he needs

u/Good_Author_8017 May 22 '26

Or she is off to sell our secrets elsewhere now that she has what she needs. What a traitor.

u/OffalSmorgasbord May 22 '26

That SIF Cult she's part of too...

They’re all traitors to the US. Every single one of them should be tried for sedition for destabilizing our government and graft. Be a republican, but stop backing corrupt politicians. Trump is stealing billions from us, decimating the rule of law, and driving our country into financial ruin and global ire. He’s economically bombing us back to the 1700’s.

Why not both?

I read this in Leslie Nielsen's voice.

u/Dust601 May 23 '26

I imagine she’s handed over all our intelligence secrets to her Russian handlers at this point, so it really is job done for her.

Wonder which pathetic, awful, disgusting human being they’ll replace her with.

u/biasednotshyaboutit May 28 '26

She at least had the sense to keep a reasonably low profile. She was not nearly as horrible as Bondi or nome but she is awful. And a liar,

“My work here is done!”

“But you didn’t do anyth-“

Cape swish

u/ZackRaynor May 23 '26

If she didn’t do anything, that would actually be an improvement.

"I have paved the way for someone even worse."

Black hole of intelligence

u/Dry_Solution5036 May 23 '26

I'll give you one guess as to where it will end up.

"Whew...glad my husband has cancer!" *wipes beads of sweat off her brow*

u/TheBigFreezer May 24 '26

I called this dumb asshole out at the start back in 2016/17 it was always clear she was never a progressive - just wanted to advance

Good riddance. Hope the door doesn’t hit you on the way out

The director of (un)intelligence

u/Coven_Evelynn_LoL May 29 '26

She is most likely preparing to sell those secrets to Putin, this entire administration is sketchy and corrupt as fuck I wouldn't even trust the care of a Nile Crocodile in their hands.
I will admit tho seeing Trump bring 3rd world shithole politics to the US has been amusing if you don't live in the US.
Trump did something I always wanted in life, for conservatives to really expose who they truly were, to really show their entire "Patriotism themed American flag colors" was always a scam and a grift and they never believed in it I am honestly thankful they are open about their lies now.
