Pressure on a veteran and senator shows what's next for those who oppose Trump

[phoenix2020]

The Senate GOP need to understand that they now serve at the pleasure of Donald Trump. If they do not do as they are told, they will be repealed and replaced by somebody who will. It’s still their bodies, but going forward it’s Donald’s choice.

Yes, putting pressure on congressmen and senators is something that has never been seen before in this country. Ever.

Equivalence is a matter of scale.

All presidents and president-elects talk with Senators about initiatives they consider important. But wanna-be strong men like Trump have their wanna-be oligarchs and dark money PACs run TV ads against Senators who opposed them and threaten to primary any Senator with the courage to oppose them.

All presidents and president-elects put cronies on their staff, Cabinet, and in other high government positions. So, Trump selecting completely unqualified people like Hegseth, Gabbard, RFK Jr., Kash Patel, etc. is acceptable.

All presidents lie. So the 30,000 lies told by Trump in his first term is acceptable.

All presidents are accused of corruption by somebody. So all of Trump's corruption is acceptable.

Etc. etc.

Not surprisingly he is anti Republicans and anti Trump.

While whining about the so-called MAGA monster the Democrats treatment of Joe Manchin and Kirsten Sinema for failing to mindlessly support the Biden/Harris regime is conveniently ignored. Then there is Tulsi Gabbert and RFK Jr both diven out of the Democrat party for disloyalty to Kim Jung Biden. The MAGA Monster has nominated both of them for Federal appointments. Say what?

"The response to Ernst built quickly, first in whispers following her initially cool remarks after meeting with Hegseth, then into a pile-on from powerful figures in the “Make America Great Again” movement....Those piling on included Trump’s eldest son, Donald Trump Jr., and conservative activist Charlie Kirk, who warned that Ernst’s political career was “in serious jeopardy" and that primary challengers stood at the ready. One social media post from the CEO of The Federalist featured side-by-side photos comparing Ernst to ousted Rep. Liz Cheney, R-Wyo., whom Trump recently said deserves to be jailed, along with other members of the House committee that investigated the Capitol riot. ...“If the king wants a different senator from Iowa, we’ll have one. If he doesn’t, we won’t,” said Iowa talk show host Steve Deace, suggesting on his show Monday that he would be willing to jump in against Ernst if Trump wanted a challenger. “I think someone’s got to be made an example out of, whether it’s Joni or someone else.”

...Trump allies had been concerned that a successful effort to derail Hegseth’s candidacy would empower opposition to other nominees, undermining his projections of complete dominance of the party.

...Only about 2 in 10 Americans approve of Hegseth’s nomination, according to Associated Press-NORC Center for Public Affairs polling. About one-third of Republicans approve of him as a pick, and 16% disapprove. Another 1 in 10 Republicans, roughly, are neutral and say they neither approve nor disapprove.

...Ernst has gradually appeared to soften on Hegseth."

We should be thankful he didn't nominate a horse, I think.

MAGAs are a bunch of commies. This is what they want. Punish dissent, punish criticism, all for Trump and Single Party Rule.

You have no idea what "commies" means. It is the Biden/Harris regime that adopted KGB lawfare tactics targeting their political opponent.

Obama.and Biden both came into office with Congressional majorities. What you you call single party rule.
