karen kwaitkowski speaks about the current war in washington; 

The President values loyalty above all, and the war on leakers and whistleblowers is weapons hot, torpedo tubes flooded.  The targets seem to be the “less loyal” among the current tribe of administration appointees and selected leftovers and hangers-on from the Biden regime.

It is this very construct that we saw used under the Biden administration – where swearing that mostly peaceful cities burning is a national good, and under Trump – where criticizing a genocide conducted by an “ally” fueled and funded by the American taxpayer is verboten hate speech, illegal............more.........
