Nothing will ever beat the "my wife informs me that wet pussy is a sign of disease" episode however.

then I will absolutely support her in that endeavor.

(I don't have to support her on anything else to agree with a goal of destroying Trump)

I did not have “ Yay, MTG! You go, girl!” on my 2025 Bingo card.

She’s certainly been fascinating and cringeworthy to watch. Her instincts are pretty sharp, even though I find her appalling most of the time. The whole “Democrat this, Democrat that…” crap worked to propel her into the public eye really quickly. Trump screwed her out of running for the Senate and now, with this Epstein fiasco, she smells blood in the water. He may have miscalculated by attacking her the way he did. I don’t think the threats she’s getting are going to stop her. We shall see.

• America First but $40Billion to Argentina, various other deals.
• No foreign entanglements (1) and police the world.
• "Transparency" on Epstein everything, and stonewalling
• Maga extreme anti-semitism and his support of Bibi and hence, Israel (Bibi first)
lots more

And just tonight.

Trump cites the Bible on "vulnerable children," sparks uproar
How many have been separated from their parents, and died in Gestapo custody?

Holy WTF?

These magats never played "join the dots" as children so they never learned the concept of seeing the whole picture. They're always stuck on some random dot.

Some Republicans calling it a Republican civil war and on social media, MTG’s side is winning.

So / Tucker, MTG, Candace, Massie, Rand Paul, Gaetz & on some issues (money for genocide) Megan Kelly, Fuentes, Alex Jones and Bannon vs Josh Hawley, Ben Shapiro, and Mark Levin. Kevin and Hawley gave vague threats to some in first group - using words “neutralized “ and “take care of”.
Popular Libertarians & very popular podcasters like Dave Smith & Clint Russell are in the mix debating and appearing on podcasts backing first group.

Republican youth are mostly anti genocide, anti war - which became the big problem for Kirk. When Kirk had Josh Hawley & Libertarian Dave Smith -Jewish/podcaster/comic/anti genocide, anti war - debate at Turning Points big event in 2024 in Tampa - and the kids said Dave won the debate. So huge donors to Turning Points were really mad because the Republican kids liked the Libertarian better than the Republican.

The good thing is many are no longer supporting Trump. Candace - whose podcast was number one in world this week (she beat Rogan) apologized for telling people to vote for Trump.

This is all great for Democrats as Republicans might be less motivated to vote.
