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.
A non-trivial question:
Is Joni Come Lately the sacrificial Senator for the Deep State? Why would she be seen as particularly expendible?

It could be they don’t think she is expendable. It is hard to primary and a good chance that the person that does will get beat in the general.

All that is true of Senators in general. The question remains as to why she’d be the Senator chosen to so publicly blunt Trump’s initial battles and thereby damage the DOGE trademark.

We Need to Ritually Sacrifice a Squish GOP Senator to Encourage the Others
One of the arguments against primarying Ernst is the reduction in her support may usher in a Democrat that could be the tipping point for the US.
But what if the opposing Democrat candidate ran under the Delegate Network platform, thereby exploiting the mendacity of the Democratic Party?
The cost of running a Delegate Network campaign is almost entirely in the speech to text service which, now, appears to be solved:
Another barrier to the 2022 deployment was the tardy deployment of SHAKEN/STIR caller ID attestation to prevent Denial of Service attacks as well as outright fraud.
That now appears to have been solved by the original service for which I implemented the system:

Notice the number of views is less than the number of “comments”.
The bot onslaught to suppress this idea started instantly upon posting it. I’ve never seen anything remotely like this happen to one of my posts.
Definitely over the target…

I just ran a FP16 speech to text model benchmark on my desktop 3070 – rated at 20TFLOPS (FP16) – and it runs at 60x real time speech transcription. NVIDIA purports 17TFLOPS (FP16) for that new Orin box. This cuts anywhere from 60% to 90% of the computer service cost of running a Delegate.Network campaign starting now and lasting till the midterms.
So, what do you think?
The problem with shirker GOP congresscritters looks like it isn’t going to be limited to Ernst. Even if Ernst has mended her ways and is on board with the DOGE mandate in a way meaningful enough for her to sponsor the fusion prize awards to privatize fusion technology development, the problem with removing GOP shirkers remains potentially decisive in saving the US from violence to course-correct That Unspeakable Thing In DC.
