Starting 15 years ago Republicans started applying purity tests, embraced their extreme base and primaried moderate members. Now they are… in charge of three branches of government and doing fine. They are in charge, check it out.

“Yup, our economy sucks, worst ever, falling apart”
STEPHANOPOULOS: Are we starting to see a permanent impact on the economy from the shutdown?
BESSENT: It's getting worse and worse. We had a fantastic economy under Trump the last 2 Qs, and now there are estimates that growth this Q could be cut by as much as half. We could end up with shortages.

ICE grabs father by the neck—send him into violent seizure while his arms lock up around his toddler.
"He's having seizure and they're trying to rip the baby out of his hands!"

This is so cool. Putting on formal dress and standing around on a Thursday night talking about how dope the president is. Laughing in unison at stuff that isn't quite a joke. It's on TV so everyone can watch and think about how fun it'd be to be there, doing that, too. Cash bar. No food of any kind.
