A woman on the Whatever Podcast just did what ten years of conservative pundits couldnโt โ she buried the Trump โgrab โemโ talking point with one question: โ๐๐ฐ๐ธโ๐ด ๐ฉ๐ฆ ๐ธ๐ณ๐ฐ๐ฏ๐จ?โ
The liberal girl across from her brought up the 2016 tape as proof Trump is unfit. Rachel Wilson didnโt flinch. She corrected the record first: โ๐๐ฉ๐ข๐ตโ๐ด ๐ฏ๐ฐ๐ต ๐ธ๐ฉ๐ข๐ต ๐ฉ๐ฆ ๐ด๐ข๐ช๐ฅ. ๐๐ฉ๐ข๐ต ๐ฉ๐ฆ ๐ด๐ข๐ช๐ฅ ๐ธ๐ข๐ด, ๐ช๐ง ๐บ๐ฐ๐ถ ๐ข๐ณ๐ฆ ๐ข ๐ณ๐ช๐ค๐ฉ, ๐ง๐ข๐ฎ๐ฐ๐ถ๐ด, ๐ฉ๐ช๐จ๐ฉ-๐ด๐ต๐ข๐ต๐ถ๐ด ๐ฎ๐ข๐ฏ, ๐ข ๐ญ๐ฐ๐ต ๐ฐ๐ง ๐ธ๐ฐ๐ฎ๐ฆ๐ฏ ๐ธ๐ช๐ญ๐ญ ๐ซ๐ถ๐ด๐ต ๐ญ๐ฆ๐ต ๐บ๐ฐ๐ถ ๐จ๐ณ๐ข๐ฃ ๐ต๐ฉ๐ฆ๐ฎ.โ Then she asked the only question that matters โ โ๐๐ฐ๐ธโ๐ด ๐ฉ๐ฆ ๐ธ๐ณ๐ฐ๐ฏ๐จ?โ
The other womanโs response? โ๐๐ตโ๐ด ๐ต๐ฉ๐ข๐ต ๐ฎ๐ช๐ฏ๐ฅ๐ด๐ฆ๐ต ๐ต๐ฉ๐ข๐ตโ๐ด ๐ธ๐ณ๐ฐ๐ฏ๐จ.โ Not โitโs false.โ Not โhereโs why heโs incorrect.โ Just โ itโs a bad ๐ฆ๐ข๐ง๐๐ฌ๐๐ญ. Wilson pressed: โ๐๐ฆ๐ญ๐ญ ๐ฎ๐ฆ ๐ฉ๐ฐ๐ธ ๐ช๐ตโ๐ด ๐ฏ๐ฐ๐ต ๐ต๐ณ๐ถ๐ฆ. ๐๐ตโ๐ด ๐ข ๐ง๐ข๐ค๐ต. ๐๐ตโ๐ด ๐ข ๐ง๐ข๐ค๐ต ๐ฐ๐ง ๐ญ๐ช๐ง๐ฆ.โ

This is why the โgrab โemโ tape lost its power. Not because people stopped caring about how things sound. Because a generation of women grew up, looked at the actual statement, and realized โ itโs observationally accurate. The Womenโs March was built on pretending Trump described assault. He described ๐ซ๐๐๐ฅ๐ข๐ญ๐ฒ. And when a woman says that out loud on camera, the entire moral framework collapses.

Hello Senator Thune,
At 3 AM on Friday, March 27th, in a near-empty chamber, you passed a bill by voice vote that excludes all funding for ICE and CBP.
Let me repeat that: voice vote. No roll call. No record of who was there. No accountability. Just you, Barrasso, and a handful of senators shuffling paper in the dead of night while America slept.
You could have demanded a recorded vote. You chose not to.
You could have held the line for five more days until the House returned. You chose not to.
You could have used the same procedural tools Democrats have used against you for 40 days. You chose not to.
Instead, you gave Chuck Schumer exactly what he asked for, DHS funding minus immigration enforcement, and called it a win. Then you walked to the cameras and blamed the Democrats.
Let's be precise about what you did:
1. You caved to a demand Democrats made on Day 1 of this shutdown. Forty-one days of supposed hardball negotiation, and you settled for their opening offer.
2. You handed them a template. The next time Democrats want to defund any agency โ ICE, CBP, or anything else โ they now know: just shut down DHS and wait. John Thune will fold at 3 AM.
3. You punted to reconciliation. "Good possibility," you said. Not "we will." Not "guaranteed." Just maybe. Meanwhile, ICE operates on fumes from last year's bill with no certainty of future funding.
The precedent you set:
You have argued for months that the filibuster is sacrosanct. That the 60-vote threshold protects minority rights. That we cannot bend Senate rules for policy wins.
But at 3 AM on Friday, you bent every norm that actually mattered:
โข Voice vote to avoid accountability
โข Empty chamber to avoid debate
โข Midnight deal to avoid scrutiny
โข Immediate recess to avoid questions
You'll bend the rules to avoid a fight. You just won't bend them to win one.
What you've actually accomplished:
Democrats demanded ICE restrictions. They got ICE defunded.
Not reformed. Not restrained. Defunded.
And you're out here tweeting about how Democrats are the "Defund the Police" party while you just voted to defund border enforcement at 3 in the morning.
The question you should answer:
Why did this deal have to happen at 3 AM?
Why couldn't it happen at 3 PM, with cameras rolling and every senator on record?
You know why. Because you didn't want your voters to see what surrender looks like.
Here's my message: We saw it anyway.
Stop hiding behind "Democrat obstruction." You're the Majority Leader. You set the schedule. You control the floor. You chose this outcome.
Own it.
Hello Senator Thune,
Let's expose what you're really doing with "reconciliation."
You announced it yesterday, eleven months after the House passed the SAVE America Act. You're not trying to pass this bill. You're trying to kill it in a way you can blame on process.
Here's how we know:
Reconciliation requires the Senate parliamentarian to rule that provisions are "budgetary." Citizenship verification is not budgetary. Photo ID mandates are not budgetary. The parliamentarian will gut the bill. Then you'll shrug and say "we tried." We see through you.
Meanwhile, you WON'T use the tools that actually work:
Rule XIX limits each senator to two speeches per legislative day. Keep the Senate in continuous session, file cloture daily, and the filibuster exhausts in ~12-20 days. You dismissed it as "complicated." Because if you tried and succeeded, you'd have to actually pass the bill.
Harry Reid nuked the filibuster in 2013 when he wanted results.
Mitch McConnell changed Senate rules THREE times and canceled the August recess.
Chuck Schumer used reconciliation within months on a 50-50 Senate.
You have 53 seats. You've changed nothing, canceled nothing, and waited eleven months.
Now let's talk donors:
โข Goldman Sachs: $150K to you - top H-1B user
โข Google: $75K - lobbies against E-Verify
โข Meta: $72.5K - Zuckerberg's FWD[.]us pushes mass immigration
โข Wells Fargo: $90K - banks undocumented immigrants
Same corporations sponsor Punchbowl News, where you sit for "Fly Out Days" which nobody watches except Congress staffers and K Street lobbyists who pays premium bucks for legislative intelligence. Their reporter then telegraphs to the audience the SAVE Act "will ultimately fail."
Corporate money flows to you AND to the outlet that frames your inaction as inevitable.
We see the loop.
You called grassroots anger a "paid influencer ecosystem." YOU are the paid influencer. You take the wrong side of a 80% issue because you are indistinguishable from a K Street mouthpiece, and an ineffective one to boot who won't bend the rules to get anything passed.
What we want:
1. Force a real talking filibuster.
2. Stop hiding behind process.
3. Pass the SAVE America Act.
YOU will become the reason that we will have our butts kicked in midterms. Not Candace Owens, not Nick Fuentes, not anyone else. You and you alone, and all because you want to make the 200 or so viewers of Punchbowl Fly Out Days happy. You're living in a K Street information bubble, addicted to the comforts and praises of lobbyists masquerading as journalists. You mistake the steak and martini dinners you get invited to as your own constituents.
You are not "moderate." The SAVE America Act has 98% support among Republicans. Name one other thing that has 98% support. You are an extreme minority who prides himself on being a calm leader, when in reality you are well in the running for the most ineffective Majority leader of all time.
Prove me wrong. Do the bare modicum of effort. Not symbolic. Actual effort. Cancel the recess. Get SAVE America Act passed.
Do you truly understand what Japan just gained? As a Japanese citizen, Iโm telling youโthis moment changed history.
Trump's Pearl Harbor joke wasn't an insult. It was the key that finally unlocked something buried deep in the Japanese soul.
For 80 long years, we've carried apology and guilt like a permanent shadowโhaunted by the past, bound by the Constitution America wrote for us, forever in "reflection mode." He turned that raw wound into a shared laugh between equals.
No more endless atonement. No more vassal shadow.
The curse is broken. Japan is free now.
Thank you, Mr. President.
We're allowed to stand tall againโas true partners, not subordinates. The strongest alliance in the world is risingโequals, brothers, ride-or-die.

19 year old Iranian wrestling champion Saleh Mohammadi was just publicly executed for protesting against the Islamic Regime.
So, to all liberal Westerners:
Watch and learn.
This is what itโs like to ACTUALLY live in a nation with no free speech.
