Imagine being nominated to replace Kegsbreath - being put in charge of a war no one wants (not even the person who started it) and which you can’t get the USA out of without losing face, and which the USA can’t win, but which your boss will nonetheless blame you for not winning or getting out of without losing face anyway.
You may as well not bother waiting for Mr Potato Head to push you, and just pre-emptively throw yourself under the bus and get it over with.
Albeit this administration has so many absolute loyalist crazies that he won’t have too much difficulty finding someone to take it on.
I had to reply to Laura Loomer’s Xitter post: ‘Hey, Laura: They’re already teaching Arabic numerals to our kids in elementary school! ’ (I have five followers, and they never interact with me; so no one will see my post except accidentally. Oh, and I almost never go to ‘X’ anyway.)
“We will not be dragged into some ideologically driven agenda based on fringe operators, Jerry Springer-like performers, and shock-jock loudmouths.”
I have listened to him in the past, and “shock-jock loudmouth” is a perfect description of him. Every other statement from him is being screamed into his microphone; it’s his brand.
I believe Blanche and Dhillon are facing potential civil suits for failing to open a probe into the shooting of Renee Good, which may explain the rapid departure.
The Laubacher/Boebert watch continues, with the Democrat’s lead shrinking. It’s now 48.69% to 48.07%. A difference of 2,254 votes. Can we hurry it up, Colorado?
First: He can still be impeached though not still in office. Make him explain the girl’s school, the extra-judicial killings in the Caribbean Sea, and all the firings—at a minimum.
Second: Donald may take steps to prevent this (Hegseth getting Blackburn’s Senate seat) because even he will be aware that there is a MASSIVE hunger for an impeachment. Donald will reason (really!) “better him than me.” Yes, even if Hegseth could be impeached after leaving the Cabinet. That’s too nuanced for DT.
Impeaching Hegseth even though he’s left his Cabinet post would ensure that he could never hold Federal office again. (Discussed, though with regard to Trump back in 2021:
Never underestimate the stupidity of the current GOP, but why would she do this? Even if Trump still wields power, why would he call in a favor for Pete? And there are certainly any number of loyal Tennessee pols who are salivating over the seat. I have to believe Blackburn will do what is best for her control of power in her state.
Have we seen the end of the rallies? Those have always been a huge ego boost for him personally, even during the recent campaigns for others. He loved being surrounded by fawning fans while sneering and ranting nonsensically. But crowd sizes are way down, he’s been heckled unmercifully and things will only get worse for him as attention shifts to his potential successors.
