Great cartoon!

There’s no shortage of Kool-aid being dispensed in the Trump cult and, once they go all in, they could care less whether or not the DNI or any department head is qualified or compromised, as long as they’re told—“nothing to see here, keep drinking.” Gulp, gulp!

"Trump’s Cabinet is already a traveling circus of sycophants, cranks, conspiracy theorists, and underqualified loyalists.

A person who has been abused suffers from trauma .Trauma is a deeply distressing or disturbing experience that overwhelms an individual's ability to cope, leaving lasting negative effects on their mental, physical, and emotional well-being. It fundamentally shatters a person's sense of safety, often leaving them in a state of hypervigilance or emotional distress.

We have nothing to be ashamed of. That damage caused by the trauma cannot heal but tools can be used to function as one
