Wow. This has to be the most dangerous collection of fringe lunatics I’ve ever seen in one place at one time.

This is not a brain trust …it is Teddy’s little echo chamber… Not a critical thinker in the bunch all paid parrots.

Not an impressive collection of advisors, unless your a right wing fanatic. Most of these folks seem to come from the extreme end of the GOP, with perhaps only one true professional with meaningful national experience.

And Victoria Coates as national security advisor? I’ve looked online and can’t find any national security background or expertise, either academic or government service. She was a director of research for Rumsfeld, which doesn’t necessarily require substantive knowledge, and helped write his memoir; her academic background appears to be art history.

Quite a group of neanderthals. Carpenter is particularly dense.

I’ll have to check later to see if any of the Cruz supporters are on record with complaints and questions about Obama’s birthplace. Not that it will matter since it went down the memory hole as soon as the Canadian darling became a potential candidate.

“…The essay scolds Jimmy Carter for ostensibly putting human rights ahead of U.S. interests…”

Cruz believes American’s rights are expendable.

A team whose task is to make a crazy man look normal. The problem is that their idea of normal is still crazy.

Fine. But, there can’t possibly be enough crazy Americans to vote for these crazy, destructive radicals.

She’ll transition from her last position on the ~snort!~ House Intelligence Committee to head up Carnival Cruz’ “Batshitcrazy Brain Trust Committee.”

Does Josh Perry look like a fascist, or is it just my imagination?

Welcome to the republican “freedom” where only a very few rich
people have it and the rest of us have no rights, no privileges,
no property so they can have THEIR way. Think of the british
empire a thousand years ago. Have a nice day.
