      The name didn’t ring a bell, so I googled it and…

      Abraham Zapruder was a Ukrainian-born American clothing manufacturer who filmed the assassination of President Kennedy in 1963.

      Ooooh, that fits extremely well. Nice!

    Pete Hegseth probably blocked aid on his own authority without asking President Trump first. This is a correction of that decision. Unfortunately, Trump prizes loyalty even above being in sync on policy issues.

      While people like Rubio and Couch Lover have to “tune in” to Taco Don’s stupidity, I think Pete there was already on that wave due to being an idiot, and alcoholism probably doesn’t help, so my assumption is that he was actually quite in sync.

      Considering how shipments were stopped last times, with one most idiotic - “we stopped shipment because what if they negotiate ceasefire now” - that’s absolutely what “master of the deal” would say.
