    Translation: MAGAts who helped create and enable this entire shit show but who have lost their grift, attempt to reposition themselves for a return to some kind of power later on.

      They’re combining their powers to start a whole new grift. Make no mistake, they haven’t changed, they’re just the first rats jumping a sinking ship. Alex Jones has already turned on him, too, and is calling for his impeachment, lol

      I bet Joe Rogan will be next

        Joe Rogan always seems like someone just startled awake from a nap. But even he is like “huh, like what is up with this war in Iran, bro?”

          That’s a very generous assessment, but I assure you, he’s just a fucking idiot.

            It’s a shame, he’s probably like this from tbi’s from when he was young he doesn’t have the capacity to differentiate between fact and fiction a h ore but he has the curiosity of a scientist

              Did you ever see him on the show NewsRadio? He didn’t really seem all that different from how he is today.

              I’d like to pity him, but I just don’t have it in me

        Rogan’s already made some moves in that direction - nothing firm, but enough to pivot to (or away from) if he decides to.

    It’s a charade, they’ll endorse him and vote for him again. This is all about optics and they’ve been given permission to do this. They’ll ensnare a bunch of “reasonable” Republicans that are unhappy with trump and tease them with a few Romney types, then drop the charade and say “we know it sucks but we need to circle the wagons around Trump to defeat SoCiAlIsM”

    It’s just corralling people back into the right pasture

      yeah but now they can say “Trump? I was always against Trump” when they’re peddling the next conservative fascist; just like they did about Nixon, and W. Bush… It’s a very effective strategy ^^

    Don’t forgot MTG voted against Biden’s Build Back Better which included free community college, student loan debt relief and universal Pre-K.

    That lady doesn’t give a shit about us. She just mad Trump wouldn’t (understandably) endorse her for Georgia Senate, seeing as she’d most likely lose to Ossoff. That and the Epstein files which I believe she does care about.

      Village idiots, or those touched by gods, have always had the capacity of always being able to speak truth to power much like the jester to the king.

      These two here are not the village idiots. They are just what we all are: late to the Stop American Nazis party.

    The Daily Beast is nothing but clickbait articles aimed at people who can’t wait for Trump to go away. Take everything their titles suggest with a huge grain of salt.

    May everyone involved have 1000 days of diarrhea while miserably poor and without friends or family. A curse on all their households

    🤣 People in this thread believing anything these scheisters are saying.

    Their grift isn’t grifting as hard as it used to, so they are switching to a slightly different grift.

    None of them have changed their racist views.

    None of them have apologized for fully backing Trump and his lies.

    None of them should ever be allowed near power ever again.

    They did not change, they did not learn, they are the same pieces of shit they’ve always been.

      Not sure if you misspelled “shysters” or if it was clever wordplay with “Scheiße”.

        A shyster is a dishonest person who uses tricks and fake methods, especially a lawyer, politician, or business worker.

        The German word Scheiße (also spelled Scheisse) means “shit” or “crap”. It functions as a vulgar noun, a common exclamation of anger or frustration, or an intensifier.

        These fuckers are dishonest pieces of shit! Thus scheisters 😁

    He did not betray anyone. He helps his people just fine. You were a tool and everyone else knew. You stopped being useful and were sold off.

        Yep.

        Just like Meghan McCain, and every other Republican slowly starting to speak out against trump (at least the ones that arent on their final terms as elected officials).

        Its not about a sudden moment of clarity and integrity.

        its not about trump having gone to far for the moral fabric of america.

        Its 100% about trying to distance themselves from the anchor that trump has become, in effort to carve out a potential future in a post trump environment.
