Clown show.

Meanwhile, gas prices and debt continues to escalate.

Well, now we have the official Israeli position.

Ok. Then you support ground troops, I take it.

I don't know about "boomers", but what the Trump wing of the GOP is right now is textbook neo-con. Fact.

Iranian historical/cultural sites


Little girl school wasn't enough for you?
If bombing would make a difference - short of nukes - it would have already been done. Trump can't afford this. If the nuclear threat from Iran is truly "imminent" then he's either going to have to commit ground forces or STFU and get out. This blockade is just an economically disastrous stall tactic and the clock is ticking. Iran will weather it. We won't.
Which will accomplish nothing but death and debt. We're not winning this one, neo-cons. It's not like it wasn't predictable. But I guess your bloodlust gets sated some.
MAGA is dead. It's just a bunch of duped or otherwise neo-cons wearing the corpse around while it still has brand value. (See 'Tea Party')

Massie was only a symptom. MAGA is now pro-war, pro mass immigrant labor, DOGE went nowhere, China is now our buddy, FISA is alive and well, the intelligence and MIC community are strong as ever. Yeah, MAGA is basically just a loudmouth aging reality TV a-hole and a red hat at this point.
Ha. Trump isn't liberating a damned thing except more money from people's wallets.

Enjoy the "win", neo-cons.

They're just about over.

Seems to be a fair amount of smoke to this effect, yes.

R's aren't conservative at all.

The Trump worship wing of the GOP just pulled out all the stops to remove a guy whose main sin was to oppose spending and foreign aid.

Now we're in a war and the debt numbers are spinning again. But at least we got rid of that guy. I guess Israel and Ukraine are happy.
This is simply the re-emergence (not sure it ever went anywhere, really) of neo-conservatism in the guise of Trump. Trump worshippers are now comfortably neo-cons. Those who saw Trump as a means to breaking the machine are either black-pilled or in extreme cases, will pivot to the other side of the aisle.

Where it leaves the GOP? Nowhere good. Remember the McCain/Romney elections? We're back to that level. The left will have to truly melt down to not take advantage.

yep i voted for this


Globalism? Good for you.

Meanwhile, Trump's war continued to kick up cost of living for the peasantry... not to mention the amplified debt resulting. Speculate well.
Massie's votes against Trump have come against the BBB spending bill, budget reconciliation and foreign aid spending, primarily. Trump has been stymied on many areas of his agenda in congress through both terms, yet he goes after Massie arguably harder than any other. Certainly harder than Thune, who has gatekeepered electoral reform into oblivion.

Of all the bastards in DC, the one opposing spending and foreign aid is not the one I'm the most concerned with.
Kristol has never been anything but a typical Washington DC parasite looking for a host to leech onto. Our country would be better off if that hellhole burned to the ground and nothing was ever built there again.
We haven't scaled what these things will mean through their lifespan. Given what some suspect they could need in terms of power and resources, I don't find concern all that crazy.
The real fear isn't the plus or minus on "strong" Trump support/hate, it's how much support his "brand" has or hasn't lost amongst independents. He turned out that vote to get elected. If that turnout vanishes in the mid-terms to a high degree and apathy sets back in, GOP is fricked.
