Rep. Rich McCormick's town hall turned into a dumpster fire when constituents called him out on Trump's and Musk's federal cuts. The GOP might want to rethink its job cuts strategy before it burns them in 2026.

When I see Steve Bannon doing a Nazi salute to cheers it means only one thing: 420,000 U.S. troops died defending our country from Nazi assholes and 77 million people voted for them to be in power. MAGA betrayed our country voting for this nightmare.

Here we go. Certain generals must be removed before any martial law plan is put into action—as Trump and Hegseth are worried there may still be some generals out there who support the Constitution rather than his proposed dictatorship. This is a political purge intended as a precursor to far more.

"Voters knew [Trump] believed in nothing, which meant he could conceivably do anything, making him the perfect candidate upon whom to pin their wildest dreams." I don't know if this is really true, but it sure would explain his improbable appeal to so many. bit.ly/4hJpgGD
