WHAT IN THE FUCK IS EVEN HAPPENING ANYMORE??????
Trump squashed her dream of being a senator so the gloves are coming off.
Going in raw
I mean...IT HAS BEEN SAID that is her thing, so...
Wasn't that AOC's theory?
Yes, another theory is they can swindle the votes to her and not JD if she pretends to develop a conscience. Then she will pardon Trump.
This is the dumbest shit I’ve ever heard.
Which would be very on brand for her
So republican logic?
Ty
no no, he's correct
Yes
I heard on a podcast (Pod Save America) this morning that she's apparently talked to confidants about running for President next election. She's trying to wash her reputation by suddenly sounding a tad more reasonable.
It's a trick, get an axe
I didn't have an axe but I do have this guillotine...
She might be bonkers but she’s shrewd and seen the way the winds blowing. She’s going to do a Liz Truss and position herself as the ‘sensible’ option for change in the MAGA movement, when Trump either pops his clogs or the Epstein Files drop.
At this point I figure Sam Beckett leaping in to MTG is most reasonable answer.
I don't even know what to do in a world where MTG is making sense.
Just bc she’s honest about problems we are facing doesn’t mean she has good answers.
Three-toed salute, or something.
