And I’m old enough to remember when the GOP had major freakouts when Obama did not spend as much on the military as they wanted. They screamed incessantly about how Obama was reducing the size of military, risking us all to die from foreign invasion in our sleep. Now? They cheer Hegseth and DOGE.

These people swing like a gate.

Wouldn’t it be great if politicians and pundits actually gave a nod, even if it’s a rueful one, when their points are well-countered by an interviewer or journalist?

The hypocrisy in the GOP is required. And they need to do it with a smirk on their face to excite the rubes.

Republicans are weird. They don't think that Congress and the Courts have any say over their actions. #gopweird

MAGA is built on hypocrisy, it’s foundation for corruption, lawlessness, cruelty, etc

That is always what they do! It's OK when they do it but not when the other side dies it.

This has always been a grift -the right wing believe in nothing sustainable except those things that line their pockets. It’s always about the $. They don’t give a 💩 about their constituents, viewers etc. and will sell them to the highest bidder if it benefits them personally.

It's insane.

Do you know the URL to the (DOT) Gov that has the legislation that crafts DOGE and what limits Congress placed on them, making it a "Department" of the US Gov.

Do you know what the URL is showing us the confirmation votes for that "Department" head?

Who knew you could buy yourself a whole government to play with for only 300 million? If we had known it was so cheap we could surely have crowd sourced to beat his offer.

It really is not helpful to compare Trump to them. Despite their racism, intolerance, lack of economic understanding they actually cared about democracy and the constitution. The maga dumbasses probably hate newt just as much as normal people do.

This is probably the least surprising part of all of this. Modern Republicans have never cared about being hypocrites. McConnell demonstrated that repeatedly.

Yeah, the Tea Party. The original cult scam.

Dictator Trump, “ if I steal your democracy and you can’t figure it out, it’s your fault”

Americans are afraid to say what Dictator Trump has already said. ‘I’ll be dictator day one” “you won’t have to vote anymore”
We live in a dictatorship don’t live in denial it’s not safe anywhere here
