Every day, there's a different Republican saying OUT LOUD that they HAVE TO make cuts to our Social Security and Medicare. I know Democrats are fired up about this, but I don't know why MAGA is acting like this won't affect them. They will NOT be taking my hard earned benefits away.

Me: killing people is bad for society. Leftists: Jews like you are bad for society. Murdering people in the street is restorative justice. This isn't an isolated opinion, this is how the far left operates. It's why folks like me seek to marginalize them in the political process.

Yes, there are lots of negatives around the Pete Hegseth nomination -- the rampant alcoholism, the allegations of sexual assault, the hush money payment to an accuser, the total incompetence leading non-profits, and so on. But ask yourself: Does all that outweigh the total lack of positives?

Politico is reporting that Ric Grenell offered MAGA influencers five-figure contracts to promote him on social media for Sec of State. I went back and looked and found a bunch within a 3-day window. Here are a few.

Pete Hegseth is a barely functional alcoholic sex abuser but he can run the military because he will stop drinking if he is confirmed. Wow.

You may not understand why, but the healthcare insurance and PBM contracts YOU have signed for Tesla, SpaceX , @X, along with CEOs of other big companies , have more impact on healthcare costs and quality of care in this country, than anything you can do with DOGE

Harris made the fascism case against Trump, citing Milley and Mattis and with help from Liz Cheney, and if anything it hurt her in the polls. It just doesn’t land as a real concern to many voters. (To be clear, it’s a real concern to me!)

Apparently people of color "look like illegal immigrants." This mindset is gonna dominate these mass deportations with Donald Trump. How are people who voted for him gonna handle it when they're told they "look like illegal immigrants" and should be deported?

One issue with "Trump's playing 5D chess with nominees" is that he and his team are flatfooted on issues that arise with them. It's almost like—bear with me—some dim narcissist who refuses expertise is choosing people he saw talk good about him on the teevee, without much thought beyond that.

Elon and David Sacks giving Bond villain speeches about Gaetz really mitigates against the idea that Trump played 4-D chess with a doomed nominee. He picked him bc he wanted him and the mood at Mar-a-Lago is ebullient, like they can't lose.

Still can’t get over how many people on the right voluntarily went to bat for Matt Gaetz despite allegations of sex trafficking of a minor. Not only was it for nothing since the AG nomination failed… but now you’re forever on record advocating for an alleged statutory rapist.

Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin to NBC on women in the military: "They do impact readiness. They make us better. They make us stronger. And again, what I've seen from our women is quite incredible.

The Founders put ‘advice and consent’ in the Constitution for a reason. They wanted Senators to have oversight over Cabinet picks of a President to ensure that they were properly vetted. Winning an election 49.89%-48.24 doesn’t dispense with that constitutional responsibility.

So if a Republican Senator thinks Matt Gaetz is unqualified and unfit to be AG based on his words and deeds, the richest man in the world will spend a fortune trying to get them voted out of office. MAGA rules through threats, fear, and intimidation.
