This administration is so competent it would probably hire Jeffrey Dahmer to set the menu for the White House Correspondents’ Dinner: Saturday 27th April 2024, Washington Hilton Hotel, Washington DC, USA

I hope Hunter is making some money off of this. Otherwise, it would be a waste.

For $1,000, "Alex, what is mistakes were made but there was no criminal intent?"

The correct question is "What is mistakes were made but there was no treasonous intent?

(See my tag line. If history doesn’t repeat, it sure does rhyme!)

> “The Obama administration is acknowledging its transfer of $1.7 billion to Iran earlier this year was made entirely in cash, using non-U.S. currency” c.2016 (exchange for 5 prisoners)

> “President Joe Biden and his Administration agreed to send a $6 Billion payment to the nation of Iran today in exchange for five American citizens that the terrorist state has been holding...” Sept 2023

Isn’t treason punishable by death? Let’s ask both President Trump and former general Milley for their opinion.
