I think I just climaxed.
Kos has become almost completely unreadable except for the poster quoted and also the woman who does the amateur astronomy updates. The rest is self-parody Wokepocalyse. I have a very high pain tolerance for that (I married an actual CRT professor), but the combination of high-handed jeremiad* and college sophomore-level unthinking reflex reaction to those topics is so infuriating, I just can't.
* Yes, I am quite aware of the irony.
Well, if you consider progressivism to be the path to perfecting this as yet flawed union, then the emergence of an independent MAGA party would make America Great - Finally!I seriously hope this becomes the MAGA party... It would truly be the greatest piece of irony in the last 100 years...
1. Candace Owens said a personal interaction she had with Trump where he was rude to her led her to change how she feels about him.
She says he is too angry and resentful to be a leader and that true leaders can admit they got some stuff wrong.
Give them a week and they'll be groveling back to Trump.
Some will, but not as many as you think. I think a lot of them are realizing they aren't getting as much (especially grift) out of the deal as they were expecting when they tanked their credibility. If you are going to sell out you have to get something out of it and (as always) his return on investment is not good in the least bit.
The Senate is going to be where it is the starkest...the Trumpers have drawn a line in the sand. Rick Scott challenging for SML (even though his platform is one of the reasons they did so poorly) is not going to end well for them no matter who wins. McConnell, for as evil has he is, gets the caucus to bend to his will and hold the line against anything the Dems do. Scott will have no such power if he wins because no one fears him in the GOP like they do Mitch who is the fucking Grim Reaper. And if Scott loses, he is just spiteful and vindictive enough to spit on anything Mitch tries as are the fuckwits who joined him like Hawley Cruz. Lil Marco is spineless he will go where he is told by whoever is in charge but this has the chance to really crater the caucus.
Marge Greene today on battle for Speaker: “We’re going to fight it out. I’m not afraid of the civil war in the GOP. I lean into it.”
Marge is worried that challenges to McCarthy from Biggs, Gaetz & others might cause a few Republicans to team up with Democrats to vote against their Speaker choice: “Politics is a blood sport. We have to do anything we can to stop our enemy. And the enemy is the Democrat Party.”
Per source: collection of prominent conservative movement figures — incl Heritage President Kevin Roberts — will be releasing a letter calling for delay to House and Senate leadership elections.
