    It’s kinda darkly hilarious that all these republican politicians have such weak spines, considering they try so hard to portray such a brash, bombastic, and confrontational vibe

    Let’s hear it for political opportunists!

    Fuck, I know it’s for a bad reason but I appreciate any obstruction of Trump for the next four years.

      This is opposite. I think. The double and triple negatives are getting out of hand. The opportunists are threatening to primary (with billionaire backing) any Republican opposed to Trump.

        Yup. Musk has already said he will buy the next congress fund primary challengers that will run against any incumbent that doesn’t follow dictator president Trumps plans…

    Republicans were the primary motivators behind unlocking unlimited money for campaigns. I don’t think they realized it came with strings attached. like, literal puppet strings. “Be my puppet, or else I will fund the next guy to be my puppet.”
