Two big GOP activists from Oregon were in DC last month for meetings with Trump admin officials. On their podcast they talk about a plan they discussed to nullify the results of Oregon's 2026 federal elections. Pass federal voter ID law, then refuse to seat OR delegation because OR didn't comply.

Remember, Trump tried to pick Matt Gaetz — widely suspected of raping underage girls — as AG.
Then, Trump picked Pam Bondi — who reportedly killed Florida’s Trump University case in exchange for a $25,000 donation.
All for PRECISELY this moment — to cover up the Epstein case.

The problem for Trump’s base is that Trump keeps choosing himself over them.
The problem for Trump is that Trump’s base is more devoted to Q than to him.

Also there's no such thing as the "Department of War." It's still called the Department of Defense, just like it's still the Gulf of Mexico. Thank you for coming to my Ted Talk.

My takeaway so far from TV Pete's mandatory corporate speech to military leadership: he really hates fat people, beards, and women. Also the silence from the room as he rambled about wokeness and "standards" was notable, including during the apparent laugh lines. Can't say whether he was sober.

A big difference between Republicans and Democrats is that Republicans understand the science of political communication. Republicans dictate the topics/terms of debate while Dems (and the left) usually burn energy in constant response.

I'm 49, and I've already decided I'll never get on an airplane ever again. I used to make fun of my late father for refusing to fly anywhere, ever. That guy would sooner drive the 3000 miles to California in a rusty 80's van with nothing but one Eagles and one Kenny Rogers 8-track.
