When Scooter and the Big Man bust this city in half
Lessons are clear: MAGA can’t govern. Thune failed his first big test as Senate leader. Everybody, himself included, knows Johnson is too small for the speakership.
Not his to destroy. Not his to decide.
MAGA shutdown continues. Thune and Johnson are too weak even with majority control to get this done.
It is not up to the Speaker how another representative does her job. He has no discretion on swearing in and is simply ignoring the will of the voters because he is a feckless coward.
I remember well that Miami Vice episode with Glenn Frey’s song “Drugs by the sea, they call it” debuting that night.
Getting tired real fast of his “sorry not sorry” attitude as each new revelation hits.
If they had a healthcare plan, they would have moved it in the first 6 months of Trump’s term when the chances of passage were greatest. Kid Speaker is lying through his teeth.
This guys thinks he has credibility but doesn’t realize that he’s lost like a dozen PR fights in a row. Kid Speaker doesn’t even have the respect of his GOP colleagues who tried to pick half a dozen other speakers before settling for him.
Trump sucks and America sees it at a rate of 60:40.
This has developed into a pattern for Trump of late. Trump and GOP consistently losing independents by double digits.
GOP out messaging on this because they know the optics are horrendous, the symbolism is strong (and against Trump), and the full story is even worse. They are desperate for a message to turn this around and put this to bed. There isn’t one.
Bring me four fried chickens and a coke.
Out: legacy media
In: zombie media (gone but still walking around and doing damage; eg NYT, WaPo, CBS News)
I stand by my prior statement that SecDef should have to blow a clean breathalyzer in order to operate the Pentagon.
World, we are sorry. He had a TV show, we had an opioid crisis, and things got out of hand.
Trump: I solved the Clone Wars. I solved the War of the Roses remake. I solved the War for the Planet of the Apes. And I solved Solo: A Star Wars Story.
The optics and opinion are so bad that even Byron York is demanding explanations (which he’ll immediately and unflinchingly accept).
I stand by my prior statement that SecDef should have to blow a clean breathalyzer in order to operate the Pentagon.
Yes, if you believe that the problem with America is that special interests and the executive branch have TOO LITTLE power then by all means try to limit congressional terms.
Translation: Bessent admits that the admin screwed the 2025 economy. Another MAGA catastrophe!
The right is only mad that everyone gets a trophy if the everyone in question are kids between the ages of 5 and 15.
Speaker Johnson: it’s bad so I don’t know the details of it, but I do know the White House talking points I’m supposed to say.
