Fuck up the works so bad that people demand change in the government. Enter Project 2025.
You heard it here first.

My Thanksgiving with Trumpist family members will be a struggle next week. It may well be a quick one if the messages I'm ignoring are a clue.

The once extreme of sore losers, cry babies are now drunk with power calling for unity.
I see total capitulation more to their expectations of the non believers.

And the threats have begun.....

Tommy Tubes, man who invented the four legged proverbial stool said this.

Quote:
And he warned there would be consequences for GOP colleagues who oppose Trump’s agenda by voting against controversial nominees or legislation.

“If you want to get in the way, fine. But we’re gonna try to get you out of the Senate too if you try to do that,” he said.
He is specifically addressing Senators Murkowski and Collins who claimed they were not sure to vote for Gaetz for AG.

I actually agree with O'Rourke on this one. It's why I left the party in the early 2000's.

Trump is reshaping it. Just as the democrats are no longer the party of slavery, the republicans are no longer the party of elitist cowards. We are literally experiencing history of a major kind right now.

Hegseth: Meh. Seemed to be hooked on talking points.

Gaetz: A smart move. Trump is making sure he has a competent loyalist in that position.

Tulsi: Sound and level headed.

Yet another threat from none other than highly unaccomplished Charlie Kirk.

Quote:
Turning Point USA founder Charlie Kirk posted Wednesday night that Republicans who voted to confirm Merrick Garland as Biden’s attorney general in 2021 but don’t support Matt Gaetz as Donald Trump’s attorney general “will face an immediate primary challenge.” Nine Republicans in seats up in 2026 voted for the Garland nomination, including Susan Collins (Maine) and Thom Tillis (North Carolina).

Hegseth: White Nationalist defender of war criminals. No management experience. Joe Rogan goes to war.

Gaetz: Druggie and child rapist

Tulsi: A Putin pal, defender of Assad, actual cult member, conspiracy theorist.

He shouldn't worry about it: you can always depend on Collins to do the wrong thing.
