In short, Republicans have good reason to think theyll be back in the White House next January. Only then will the regrets set in.
Three in particular: First, Trump wont slay the left; instead, he will re-energize and radicalize it. Second, Trump will be a down-ballot loser, leading to divided and paralyzed government. Third, Trumps second-term personnel wont be like the ones in his first. Instead, he will appoint his Trumpiest people and pursue his Trumpiest instincts. The results wont be ones old-school Republicans want or expect.

MAGAs sitting behind Trump were sickened. The cause is as yet unknown, but flatulent body odor has not been ruled out.
News 4 Tucson Investigators spoke exclusively with six people who were seated on stage behind the former president during his rally in Tucson last week. Three of them agreed to on camera interviews.
I cant see anything when I try to open my eyes. I see a bright light. It hurts, it hurts a lot to open my eyes. I have this cold cloth I put on and take off constantly. It's horrible," she explained.
She said the doctors were not able to pinpoint exactly what caused her injuries. Her vision has started to improve as of Tuesday so her blindness does not appear permanent.

The new Dixie is bigger than the old Dixie: States' Rights in 1860 and 2024.
Under US law enslaved women had few or no life choices including those related to sex, conception, pregnancy and delivery. Abortion travel bans are the equivalent of the Fugitive Slave Law and Dobbs parallels Dred Scott.

Are Donald Trump and JD Vance drag queens?
The Republican party, known for its strong stance against drag queens, is being represented by a candidate who wears more orange makeup than any drag queen and a vice-presidential candidate known for his heavy use of eyeliner. This raises an interesting question: If someone paints their face for a performance and dances, does that qualify as drag? Trump is known for his heavily made-up appearance and his dancing at rallies, sometimes to the Village Peoples Y.M.C.A. So, could Trump be considered a drag queen? And if so, shouldnt Republicans follow their own advice and protect children from drag performances? Why, then, do people bring their children to see Trump in drag? Do they think theyre bringing their child to see Ronald McDonald?
