Desperate Republican MELTS DOWN over Republicans accomplishing NOTHING
Republican Congressman Chip Roy had an outburst on the House floor revealing his frustration with the GOP's lack of accomplishments and recognizing the challenges they face in the upcoming elections. Roy expressed concern that the party has failed to deliver any tangible achievements that he could use for re-election. The narrative emphasizes the dominance of Trumpism within the Republican Party as it seems to be a major reason why they keep losing. Despite Roy's accurate assessment of the party's ineffectiveness, the truth is that if Republicans were to unite and achieve legislative goals, the consequences could be dire. The left should be relieved over the GOP's incompetence because at times it’s been the only thing sparing the country from the negative impact of their policy agenda.
Trump GUSHES over Chinese President Xi in leaked video
In a leaked video from Mar-a-Lago, Donald Trump is seen expressing admiration for authoritarian leaders like Chinese President Xi Jinping, claiming they are strong and smart, unlike President Biden, whom he criticizes as weak and unable to articulate. Trump and his followers are clearly drawn to these strongmen due to their perceived decisiveness, control, and nationalism. There’s also an ideological alignment between Trump and authoritarian leaders like Kim Jong-un, Erdogan, and Xi than with traditional Western allies who prioritize democratic processes. The perception of intolerance for dissent and opposition to globalism, often perceived as anti-Semitic or isolationist, further cements this alignment. The third reason is the personal benefit, with the belief that dealing with authoritarian leaders is more advantageous for Trump than engaging with leaders from democratic nations like Germany and France. Trump has openly expressed these sentiments before, both in leaked and public statements, so while not surprising, it’s not super revelatory.

Lawyer testifies that Trump was "not going to leave" the White House
A leaked video featuring Jenna Ellis, a former lawyer for the Trump campaign who has pleaded guilty in Georgia, reveals a conversation with Georgia prosecutors where she claims a top Trump adviser asserted that Trump had no intention of leaving the White House after losing the 2020 election. The adviser allegedly stated, "the boss is not going to leave under any circumstances. We are just going to stay in power." Obtained by ABC News, the video has led to efforts to seal evidence related to the Georgia criminal case. The revelation, occurring around December 19, 2020, during the White House Christmas party, adds to the growing understanding that Trump genuinely believed in staying in power despite the election loss. Critics argue that, even though Trump ultimately left office, the evidence suggests an attempt to subvert the democratic process, potentially leading to legal consequences in the forthcoming Georgia criminal trial against Donald Trump.

Republican MELTS DOWN when confronted about loan to his brother
In Washington, D.C., a heated confrontation unfolded between Republican James Comer and Democratic Congressman Jared Moskowitz regarding allegations of wrongdoing by Joe Biden. Comer, eager to find evidence of criminal behavior, pointed to a family loan as a smoking gun, despite lacking conclusive proof. Moskowitz countered by exposing Comer's own involvement in a similar intra-family loan, revealing a glaring double standard in the scrutiny applied to different politicians. The exchange underscored the partisan nature of such investigations, prompting a call for consistent treatment and demand for concrete evidence before launching probes. Later, on Fox News, Comer claimed victimhood, emphasizing the need for fairness and substantive proof in scrutinizing politicians, especially considering the lack of conclusive evidence against Biden despite decades of scrutiny.
