dudeGOP senators to join Democrats in investigating Pete Hegseth ‘kill everybody’ allegations
I think some R lawmakers are realizing this administration is beyond the pale of “surely, they wouldn’t do x”. Because the way they are justifying this, would be how they could justify a whole myriad of heinous and murderous acts. They could blow up everyone onboard a Caribbean cruiseliner and say they suspected some drugs and there were some terrorist connected individuals on it. Who’s to tell them otherwise if there are no survivors and the media keeps sanewashing this maniacal administration?
Also midterms are less than a year away and Trump’s rock solid 39% won’t help many of them if his name isn’t on the ticket to drive voters to polls. Picking a couple headline issues like these ensures likely voters see them as mostly Trump, but not crazy because they did x, y, or z that one time.
Trump has only ever been “good” for the party when he is on the ticket. When he endorses people and he isn’t in the election, it tends to tank them. Maybe they’re finally realizing Trump is poison for the party.

They said about the party currently controlling all 3 branches of government.
If that’s poison then I will happily take some.
Right, because you ignored the rest of my comment and the other statistics. His party got crushed in the 2018 midterms, under performed in the 2022 midterms, and they’re about to get smoked again in the 2026 midterms. Hence them trying like hell to gerrymander and rig the election. He’s poison when he is not on the ballot and he’ll never be on the ballot again.
To go further, Trump has never been good for the party. He wins elections because the Dems are able to consistently run worse campaigns.
They did run basically the worst possible candidates against him. However, they lost down ballot too.
I’d attribute that to people voting straight ticket. The typical American doesn’t put that much thought into who they’re electing, you’re not gonna see that many people voting for a Republican president and then voting Democrat for their senator.
Yet Trump and AOC both won on the same ticket…
52fightersVoters were mad at inflation. Now both parties have failed to correct that problem.
