Fed Up Republican

"...hypocrisy is the pure oxygen of modern American political debate." - Tom Nichols

Former GOP voter who is mad as hell about where the party has gone.

[Tim Miller @Timodc]

Ted Cruz’s breasts could be used as a flotation device.

[Tom Nichols @RadioFreeTom]

oof

@bayraktar_1love I want that music. What is it?

[Kyle Cheney @kyledcheney]

Todd Blanche's name appears 96 times in Pam Bondi's House interview about the Epstein files. Variations of telling the committee that he was in charge of the entire effort. https://t.co/8JORBrxG8h

This is a good moment for very boring, traditional capital gains hikes
- return the estate tax to 2000 levels
- end step-up basis and treat death as a realization event
- treat carried interest as earned income
- raise the top rate from 23.8% to 30%

This is another sign of how the old categories of liberal and conservative no longer map precisely on our modern parties. Here the Democrats are more conservative as we’ve long understood the term — they’re (rightly) the Russia hawks.

[NATO @NATO]

Putin said to all missions ‘leave Kyiv’.

Instead, all 32 NATO Ambassadors and the Secretary General visit Ukraine.

Our message is crystal clear: NATO’s support for Ukraine is unshaken

NEW from me. A short blog post walking through how the CBO's (already scary) budget baseline likely under-estimates the 30-year debt projection by 68% of GDP.

That means the federal debt outlook is $62 trillion(!) worse than is commonly-reported. 🧵

[Fed Up Republican @FedUpGOPer]

The GOP has become a cult worshipping a philandering, thrice-divorced, bankruptcy-plagued, convicted felon and adjudicated rapist.

You have no moral high ground here.

[Chairman Joe Gruters @ChairmanGruters]

Every single Democrat needs to come out and condemn this, or they are complicit. Full stop.

[Tim Miller @Timodc]

Cassidy cucked again.

Why did they close the Strait, Peter?

WHY DID IRAN CLOSE THE STRAIT?
</angryGoose>

[Aaron Rupar @atrupar]

Peter Navarro: "Iran has frozen the strait. That's their inflation. The Democrats are gonna try to stick us with it, the legacy media is gonna try to help them do it, but that's Iran terror inflation."

[Joyce Alene @JoyceWhiteVance]

They have something to hide. We need to find out what it is.

[Aaron Rupar @atrupar]

WOW -- Rep. Madeleine Dean just during the Blanche hearing that Trump "has lied about being on Epstein's plane, and the unredacted files prove that"

[Greg Krieg @GregJKrieg]

This is 100% bullshit. Either @EugeneDaniels2 is full of shit or his producer misled him. Platner was never booked on the show so it would be impossible for him to “bail.”
Additionally, Platner took questions from press today.

[Sarah Longwell @SarahLongwell25]

The gist of what I’ve found from Trump voters over the years is that they basically dismissed Trump’s character deficiencies in favor of raw political power or personal benefit. Which is why you started going along with him as well. And Paxton. And all the others. Sit down, Erick, and stop making things up.

[Jonathan Reiner @JReinerMD]

“The White House said that medication lists in executive summaries, like the one they provided on Friday, are often abbreviated for readability and relevance.”
No. This is not true. The medication list provided by the president’s doctor is assumed to be a complete list, not just the medications the White House wants the public to know about. What medications were omitted?

[Jesse Lee @JesseCharlesLee]

Everybody: People can’t afford groceries or anything else

Trump White House: That’s a technical matter, we also cut food assistance

[Reid Hoffman @reidhoffman]

1/ Trump was found liable for sexually assaulting E Jean Carroll, defaming her, and now he’s going after her again.

Trump cannot be allowed to use the full weight and power of the US Government to come after women who speak up, or anyone who supports them in doing so.

[Dow @mark_dow]

Trump has won this war 7 times.

He’s negotiated a peace settlement 12 times.

And he’s opened the Strait of Hormuz at least 4 times.

What more do you want from him?
