Whatever Trump’s maneuver with Gaetz, it cost me personally. Politico went out of its way to single out both of Iowa’s Senators as being on the fence about Gaetz. So I deployed what political capital I had from a history of being elected delegate to the State convention, to demand that Trump’s famous “Fight” in combination with his “mandate” be taken seriously.
As far as I’m concerned this is just fine so long as this illustration reflects reality:
Sacrificial pawns are sometimes necessary. But you can rest assured, that Trump sacrificed a lot of valuable foot soldiers* in his “Fight” with that diversion.
* and a lot of morale.

Joni Ernst was very lukewarm about Gaetz
And she voted for Thune as senate majority leader

Farmland Barons are going to be rounded up and killed. Their “workers” are the reason Ernst is hated by military veterans in Iowa*. Trump is a fool for siding with immigrant worker visas. But then all entrepreneurs that don’t abandon private sector rentiers are just such fools – and that is, in a nutshell, Trump’s Pirate Ship.
* One of the first times I decided to hang out in a gun shop to talk about county currency with some of the guys, including farmland owners who actually get the fact that they need the gun shop guys to defend their property rights, a representative of Ernst’s office – a FEMALE military vet just like Ernst – showed up to try to calm them down about Ernst depriving military vets of their guns. These military vets are suicide risks.
I can’t fucking imagine why, can you?

Ernst’s opposition to Hegseth was probably demoralizing to a lot more Iowa’s MAGAs than me.
Yes I know she’s reconsidering, but at this point she’s really asking to be primaried.

You’re late to the party. She endorsed him yesterday.

She might get primaried anyways. See Kurt Schlicter’s latest:

Heh… You say that I’m late to the party but where was Ernst when Trump nominated Hegseth?
The people rule ultimately by force.
We shall see who is late to the party.

I’m looking for someone in Marjorie Taylor Greene’s district.
Ernst’s apparent power politics games in failing to enthusiastically endorse Trump’s nominations contrasting with her founding the Senate’s DOGE caucus may have dramatically increased the likelihood that I can put together a coalition to repeat, with energy technology, the legislative victory our coalition achieved in privatizing launch services back in 1990.
It would be a generalization of the legislative language endorsed by a founder of the US fusion energy program – Robert W. Bussard – that he and I put together in conjunction with other commercial fusion companies:
Basically, Ernst has to come through on her occupying the “DOGE” trademark in a big way to avoid becoming the ritual sacrifice to scare the rest of the “squish” Senators – with the attendant sacrifice of the “DOGE” trademark.
This kind of grassroots coalition has to start in the House.

As well she should be. She’s obviously running scared, which is why she reversed course, but you can’t trust a person like this.
Sorry, pal. You were still late. Try to keep up.
Dear Doctor, party on without me. I’ve got more important things than to keep up with trivialities.
