We'll probably be getting a lot of this...

Unsolicited advice from GOP establishment losers: "For All That Is Holy, Mike ... Stay Away From the 2028 Race".

It really takes a special kind of vanity - and cloth-headed unawareness - for people like Pence to believe that they have any relevance at all to the future of the GOP.

An entire fake leadership class is poised to lead the Republican Party back into managed decline. If the party has a future, it will have to come from the leadership of Republican voters, who will have to know and say what kind of party they intend to have. Romney-style whining about Mean Donald Trump is noise, and we don’t have time for it.

There's been a lot of talk about how Republicans need to "listen to the people", and I'm wondering just what that might mean; because if "listening to the people" equates to capitulating to Democrat fantasies - and if that really is what a majority of the people want -  then there are vast numbers of citizens who are in desperate need of reeducation. And if the same people who routinely poll as being  in favor of border control and election integrity and efficient law enforcement and individual freedom are the ones voting for the party that is opposed to all of those things, then the citizenry might be in need of psychological counseling, too.

An interesting take. As DeSantis points out, the so-called "education" young people receive accounts for some of the surge in support for socialism (most of it, I would say), but the prominence and visibility of crony capitalism does definitely play a role.

Trump to J.D. Vance: "Thanks for your input on Iran. You can stop, now."

"Trump: No Iran Deal, Vance Off Foreign Policy to Focus on Domestic Corruption".

Vice President JD Vance was not only wrong to say that the primary reason Republicans had such a discouraging midterm election is that we struck terrorists in Iran, but it was unwise and dangerous of him to claim that and backstab Trump right after the election. Trump seems to have realized now that Vance is not trustworthy when it comes to foreign policy and would do much better focusing on domestic fraud, where he has done much better and more consistent work.

High time (past time, actually). 

Pro-Trump President of El Salvador behaving very Trumpishly

"Salvadoran forces destroy Haitian gang HQ after internet commenters send coordinates".

Unfurl the freak flags!

"People discover that gender cult has 'Male-To-Male' option".

A term for transgender men who consider themselves transitioning from male to male, as they have always been male, just not in the way that being male is traditionally defined.

I'm...afraid I don't understand.

"Never Trumpers need not apply"

 Don Surber: "Ya ain’t getting the party back".

If communists can take over the Democrat Party, then Americans can take over the Republican Party.
