USA already set back their nuclear ambitions for many years. Don't negotiate with these terrorists - declare victory, continue economic sanctions and come home. If they restart their nuclear program, then intervene.
"DEAL" FETISH: I don't understand this push for a "deal" formalizing some sort of surrender by Iran on the nuclear issue. Will they abide by a deal? Maybe, maybe not. Can we bomb their nuke facilities again if they resume that project, whether or not there's a deal? Yes. What does the pursuit of a deal get us, except more war and a photo op?

Grow up, Pramila. Bullying and trolling are not really the role of members of Congress. You are a public servant. Act like it. By the way, knitting is a skill. Acquiring some skills is part of a healthy, balanced life. I recommend this to you. No need to be hateful all day!
Harmeet Dhillon made a mockery of the Department of Justice’s Civil Rights Division by attacking diversity, equity, and inclusion and bullying states into disenfranchising voters. She will not be missed. Enjoy your knitting.

Apparently so
'Stop donating to Republicans or we will investigate you'? Is that the message?

I moved to TX 5 yrs ago from CA. My anger—that will be channeled to further action (everything I already do is dedicated to winning)—grows by the day. I know DC. I see and hear a lot. We aren’t going to lose. But the road to winning will be paved by the scalps of those who sold us out.
TEXAS IS BLUE. I still can't quite comprehend this.

This is the least surprising thing I’ve ever heard. . . Also those making some of the accusations were also paying people to make political posts as it was and is their entire business model.
Exclusive: The right-wing activist Laura Loomer has been paid by private clients to make political posts on social media without publicly disclosing the payments, according to a former Trump campaign aide and others familiar with the arrangements. wapo.st/4BPQbL5

Not the lesson of the midterm elections. American voters will not tolerate an escalation of the Iran War.
From WSJ: "Several hawkish outside advisers have called Trump since Election Day to make the case that his legacy depends on forcing Iran to surrender its nuclear program, which would allow the president to boast the political sacrifice was worth the cost, U.S. officials and another source familiar said." wsj.com/world/middle-east/tr…

The Three Horsemen of the Midterm Apocalypse 🧵 Name drops incoming. Fuck it. I’m about to bleed truth, then jump on my yacht and sail into the deep ocean. Markwayne can send a cutter out to harass me. IDGAF. Let the chips fall where they may. Why? Because PEOPLE ARE POLICY I absolutely LOVE that people are finally waking up to the fact that Susie Wiles sidelined hitters like Elon Musk. Let me state this emphatically: PEOPLE ARE POLICY. PEOPLE ARE POLICY. PEOPLE ARE POLICY. Susie controlled who had access to the president. And because she hangs every little leak up like a wanted poster, ACCESS MATTERS. IDK WTF she waved into the Oval Office just before the bombs dropped on Iran. At my own expense, I spent an entire week, my burthday week, in DC trying to find out. For an insider like me, this had been the most transparent administration in history. No door I pushed on was closed. Until that week. That week, the only door open to me was Hegseth, who, for obvious reasons, couldn’t tell me why warships were piling up off Iran and the USCG evacuated all assets while leaving US Merchant Marine ships with their sterns flapping in the wind. He didn’t have to. The reason was obvious. He was following orders from the White House. A building in which Susie controls who walks in and who does not. PEOPLE ARE POLICY If Susie wants to avoid going down in history as the worst White House chief of staff since H. R. Haldeman, she needs to sit for multiple long-form podcast interviews. Then kick the MF White House press corps out of the building, bring in actual based people willing to ask the hard questions that MATTER, and stand there and answer them honestly. What killed Biden and Kamala more than anything? GASLIGHTING. And we’ve been gaslit on critical questions like who TF pushed out based people like Musk, Isaacman, Waltz, Ortagus, and Ruger. STOP THE GASLIGHTING. Now, I FULLY admit Trump has been 100 times more transparent than Biden or Kamala ever was. But when it comes to personnel decisions—why DOGE rock stars were slow-rolled, who TF advocated for the Iran war, and WTF our Middle East envoy @SteveWitkoff did after firing his based-AF (though admittedly huge Lindsey Graham fanboy) #2—the administration has been a BLACK HOLE. And on a few issues, the gaslighting was EXTREME. Go back and read the administration’s reactions to that Vanity Fair hit piece on Wiles. EVERYONE wrote long posts pouring out praise so effusive you’d think a Hallmark AI bot had written them. NB: I don’t believe 90% of what Vanity Fair wrote. They’re MSM hacks. Calling bullshit on them was fanfuckingtastic. But you don’t write gushy, ebullient, fulsome praise without a PINCH of criticism and expect us to believe everyone isn’t just falling in line like Democrats after another Pete Buttigieg fuckup. But blaming everything on Susie, who deserves plenty of blame, doesn’t tell the full story. And the leading narrative “It’s all Pete Hegseth’s fault because ” is utter bullshit because he executed a plan given him by the White House. 1/6

You have to make moves....
.@POTUS: "@StephenM will be the new Chief of Staff... I wanted to make a change. I think Susie has done a very good job, but... We gotta make moves. Sometimes in life, you have to make moves."

Now, you will see an unrestrained Trump.....and, why not? Trump has nothing to lose.
In a week of It's So Over's, we now - finally - have our It's So Back. Congratulations to the patriot's patriot @StephenM. Do what must be done. Do not hesitate. Show no mercy.

This was always the plan.
Neocons and Never Trump’ers (New MAGA affording to Trump) want Democrats to sweep the midterms. Impeach Trump. Then get JD out of the way. They are willing to lose 2028 to make this happen. That is New MAGA.

Democrats plan to “tackle” affordability, but they will not address the reason — massive borrowing, printing and spending — we have had and continue to have inflation in the first place. If anything, they will add gas to the fire like Biden did.

Agree. Keep the border closed, enforce the law, targeting criminals and end the war - we won and leave . Let the next GOP presidential candidates fight with the Neocons.
The RINO establishment is already using the disastrous midterm election results to push a return to Bush- and Biden-era amnesty policies. But we should ignore them and double down on immigration, the only silver lining from Tuesday's results. To regain voters' trust on the economy: End the war in Iran and Ukraine to bring down prices, cool inflation, and grow wages. To further turbocharge real wages (the "mother's milk" of Main Street prosperity), keep restricting migration to our country. Continue blocking illegal immigration, and reduce or fully impose a moratorium on legal immigration. A laser-focus on the home front plus restricted immigration is the formula to grow Americans' paychecks, fuel prosperity, and win back blue-collar workers, including Hispanics. The path is NOT open borders or amnesty!

True
This is completely ridiculous analysis. Prices were the number one issue for voters in the midterm elections after they spiked because we engaged in a war of choice at the urging of Netanyahu and Israel. Before the Iran War, the average price for regular gas fell below $3 per gallon in 43 states. On Election Day, gas averaged $4.11 a gallon nationally, a record high for an Election Day. Diesel hit about $6.28. Before the Iran War, mortgage rates dropped below 6% for the first time since 2022. This week, the average 30-year mortgage rate stands at 7.18%. Before the Iran War, private sector workers’ real wages grew 1.3% in just one year. Now, real wages are down 0.7% over the past year. So before the war started... inflation was cooling, wages were growing, and the economy was on a great trajectory. Don’t blame tariffs for the consequences of another failed Middle Eastern intervention.

Yes. Let the battle for the party begin......
In point of fact, the person who speaks honestly about the war, both privately and publicly, is NOT TO BLAME for the failure -- ONCE FREAKING AGAIN -- of the devastatingly toxic neocon stranglehold on the GOP. THIS IS MADNESS.
