The whole of the latest Israel thing is looking to re-ignite, and we all know Tangerine 2.0 simply lacks any of the aplomb needed, to defuse the situation. Score that as a new Bibi/Tangerine… loss.
Trump’s “clean out Gaza” — and have Jordan and Egypt accept all former Gazans, as refugees… is so naive, and frankly silly — as to make even the low information voters… laugh. The man is manifestly incompetent — on the world stage, in every note. [Paul and John and Scott and Steve well know it — but they are too cowardly to say so. Each of them felt the Israel peace deal was too weak (for Israel, as hard Right radicals) and now its clear that Trump and Bibi are losing a grip of even that modest, temporary compromise. All it means is more Israelis will die, as will many more innocent Gazans. Awful.]
And so it is, that Mirengoff (while also avoiding any mention of how Tangerine 2.0 is going to definitively ruin, whatever peace might have looked like, for Bibi…) this morning notes that there are in fairly broad swaths of the mainstream (non-MAGA) GOP, people who are going to make Trump’s life… complicated, here at home, as well:
…Although McConnell’s vote [against Hegseth] had no significance. . . it might have important implications for other nominees. By voting “no,” the former Majority Leader confirmed that he is no longer an ally of President Trump, a man he seems strongly to dislike….
Well… duh.
While Paul is right (but is belaboring the obvious the rest of us have seen for at least four long years), I write primarily to say… the likely overall outcome of a second Tangerine sitting… is going to be a whole lot of side-ways muddling.
His grand vision is hate, only. And that will ultimately fall of its own bitter weight.
Three decades from now, historians will look back and say those MAGA voters deserved what they got — good and hard, too.
The rest of us?
We just tried to ignore him. What a putz. Out.
