from "McAfee Technical Support" while he's there. Maybe that would spark a response to scammers.

On second thought, he would get them hired into this "administration."

eagerly working for TSF gets all the respect they earn because they obviously have none for themselves. How does one have any dignity left and expectation that they deserve honor working in this administration that is intent on dismantling our government.

The aid they receive from foreign regimes and domestic traitors (rich and poor) to accomplish this is shameful. Interestingly, I observe frequently not one of these maga soldiers is capable of shame.

For every member of trump administration including trump himself from now on. They have to know by now all he wants is what he can extort from them. This should happen in every country. Let the bitchs know they don't want to have anything further to do with them.

Marco Rubio experienced some unfortunate technical difficulties while delivering a speech to top diplomats in India.

The secretary of state’s remarks at the Quad foreign ministers’ meeting—talks featuring the foreign ministers of Australia, India, Japan, and the U.S.—were hampered on Tuesday when Rubio’s microphone failed to work properly.

After frantically fiddling with the mic in an attempt to get it working, Rubio carried on with his speech undeterred, even though his remarks were not being transmitted properly.

U.S. Ambassador to India Sergio Gor, who was seated next to Rubio at the meeting, came to his rescue by pressing a button at the base of the microphone to turn it on.
