Honestly I'm surprised he even showed up - many Congressional Republicans are just cancelling town halls and other public appearances in their districts so they can keep their heads in the sand and continue to believe that folks back home aren't getting upset over all of these cuts. Easier to ignore their own constituents rather than face the wrath of Dear Leader and his Co-President Musk. I've said this before, but they're a completely spineless and gutless bunch, the whole lot of them.

Not many Democrats in that part of the country for sure. Even in deep red districts they're facing a backlash, though, so I wonder if he'll just do what other Congressional Republicans have done and not show up in his district for a good while, at least in places where they might face real people who are pissed about all of these cuts.He thought he was in safe country.

These Pubs are gonna have to worry about more than just verbal blowback. Lots of their constituents are heavily armed and about to be PISSED. Better stay in DC where the "libtards" are a lot less likely to be violent.

Honestly, I have zero confidence that these angry constituents who reliably vote Republican will vote for any non-Republican candidate. They may vote for the primary opponent, but they aren’t crossing party lines after that. They’re mostly concerned about the ten trans girls/women trying to play girls’/women’s sports.

Here's the thing about that...it might be enough to get the pussies to push back in a major way on Trump if they start to fear being primaried by "Anti Trump Republicans". That's one thing we might have to hope for. Hell, it would be smart of the Dems to start lining up just such Manchurian candidates in those districts.

Dems 100% need to start having Manchurian candidates run in districts Dems have no chance of winning.

Hell, at this point, traditional Republicans are closer to the Dems than they are Trump and company anyhow.

Our coward is only doing town halls by phone with an invitation or sign up.

Salt of the earth folks there. They've dealt with horrible tornadoes. US Reps. are EZ pickings.

I'm sure this has been discussed many times before, I haven't been able to keep up with the sheer volume lately, but at what point do we stop using twitter here?
I appreciate being informed and all that. But it feels a bit like commuting to work in a VW in 1939.

While there is some value in comparing with the current degenerative governmental situation with 1933 Germany, a far more accurate analog could be the early days of Darth Putin's rule.
Vladimir Putin consolidated his roles and power as he moved from PM to President in 2012. He had been chipping away for years at the power of the Kremlin, Russia's sort of Congress.
Trump and our illegal South African alien are axing away at Article 1 of the US Constitution. Each branch, department, cabinet area has an oversight committee in Congress: defense, HUD, intelligence, etc. Not only are real people being indiscriminately fired (just like Israel's bombs - because Hamas is still around killing babies, but many of the Gazans are not) and thus gutting essential services (USAid, FBI, FAA, US Park Service, health care)...but are neutering Congress and gutting their role as well.
The answer to where this leads in time is obvious - de facto elimination of the need for Congress, where they become elected puppets as in Putin's world and subservient to the President and the American Oligarchy. So, there is a small deviation. The Russian Oligarchy functions somewhat independently of Putin - like mob rulers coordinating but allowing each autonomy. Here, the arrangement will be somewhere between modern Japan and 1930s Germany where oligarchs/business and the unitarian executive state are tied together.
Remember when Trump said there would be no need for elections after 2024? He meant it. When, oh when, will we begin to believe Trump's confessions and projections (both definitions: projection on enemies and into the future)?!
Congress is next on the chopping block. I mean, they are already low in popularity. SCOTUS is already in Darth Orange's pocket. This level of unitarian executive power and control of the military should NEVER exist in the United States. We do not want a King, whether Republican or Democrat! So sayeth the People!

Funny you mention Darth, because I was thinking about the meeting in Star Wars terms.
I think what we saw in the Oval Office was Anakin killing Mace Windu.

I like the Star Wars reference someone made the other day. Donald the Hutt.

Yeah, I definitely think that Dear Leader has far more similarities to Jabba the Hutt than Darth Sidious or Darth Vader or any Sith Lord. Trump lacks the guts, deviousness, intelligence, self-discipline, and patience and long-term thinking that Sith Lords display. He's much more of a third-rate mob boss than a Lord of the Sith. Other members of his administration are far more likely to have Sith Lord traits than Trump, like Stephen Miller. But Dear Leader himself? Nah. He really is Jabba come to life.
I was thinking more his charming personality, manly physique and charitable heart.

That would make JD Vance Greedo. Seems right.

Are you under the impression there is a performance component to who gets the boot in the current DOGE destruction of our federal government?
