The path to making America great again has several aspects that are not negotiable. Elon Musk has built his empire on the principle of meritocracy. This is a key component for any successful venture, business or government. As the whole country now knows, the Biden administration was the complete antithesis of a meritocracy.
Although the above Tweet states that it has CONFIRMATION, no one would publicly admit that the Senate (or House) would jeopardize our nation’s leadership for the sake of a “win”. Have we succumbed in one week to compromising with evil once again? If you are thinking that this is politics as usual, I disagree. This is a prime example of the pettiness, greed, power and incompetence that destroyed our nation.
I am not counting on Donald Trump to save the nation. I am hopeful that he will put together a path forward for people to follow with a team that is qualified to do the responsibilities of their positions. In other words, he will rebuild the country through a meritocracy.
In the example listed above, all three are extremely qualified and will not only work to save the country but will work to save the people. This is what public servants are supposed to do. Now consider what the Senate is trying to do.
I am also considering what the win would be for the Senate. It is not like they are saying that we will “allow” you to have Gabbard and Patel but not Kennedy. They are saying that Trump has to sacrifice one in order to give them a win. A win for the Senate? A win for their lobbyist masters? A bargaining chip with Democrats for the future? I cannot see a positive “good” in these questions. I do see the “evil” that permeated our country to the point of its destruction.
Hopefully, if one is “sacrificed” on the altar for political posturing, Trump will use the opportunity of a recess appointment to correct this injustice. We cannot rebuild America if we once again accept evil in any form.
