Pete Hoekstra thumbs through an imaginary document, and pauses for effect: “This is a serious proposal — pile one.” Then he raises a second document. “I can’t believe this,” he guffaws. “This is a joke.” Straight to the discard pile.

    It’s outrageous that

    • You’re not respecting your trade neighbor’s sovereignty.
    • You’re using drugs as a pretext for tariffs, at least be honest.
    • You’re asking us to enforce who gets in your country from our border, that’s your job.
    • You’re not respecting your women’s bodily autonomy.
    • You’re making light of your own Constitution, the Judiciary branch, etc

    • hiring a billionaire to shutter departments to kill investigations under the guise of cutting waste

      Just to add to the list or clarify further

      • Arresting a mayor despite him obeying ICE orders
      • Deport citizens and non-citizens without credible evidence and without due process
      • Weaponize the judicial system against political dissidents and rivals
      • Punish citizens and non-citizens for their First-Amendment-protected speech (which they claim to oh-so-love)
      • Withdraw funding for USAID to immediately cripple the agency and deprive millions of people of basic human needs around the world

      The asshole also keeps waving his Dutch ancestry around. But he left as a small child and can’t even speak the language. After the lies no Dutchman wants anything to do with this lying piece of shit.
