Only five months in lol

 

Mike Waltz is also missing lol.

To be fair, only Tulsi Gabbard and Mike Waltz worked in an official capacity, and they remain in official positions. 

In 2017 seven people got the ax by June, eighteen by the end of the year.

Mark Levin is urging Donald Trump to join Israel in a pre-emptive strike against Iran's nuclear enrichment facilities

 Mark Levin is up against many individuals in the Trump administration who are anti-war, including J. D. Vance in particular, and Tulsi Gabbard.

Former national security adviser Mike Waltz was of the same mind as Mark Levin.

Inside the MAGA vs. hawk battle to sway Trump on bombing Iran

Gabbard warns of ‘nuclear holocaust’ in ominous social media video

 

Trump's word is meaningless: Mike Waltz goes from secure job as National Security Advisor to UN Ambassador in a matter of just a few days

Something Elise Stefanik also knows only too well lol.

 Trump national security advisor Mike Waltz leaving post after Signal scandal

... Trump earlier this week told The Atlantic that Waltz’s job was secure. ...

Asked if Hegseth would stay in the administration longer than Waltz, Trump replied, “Waltz is fine. I mean, he’s here. He just left this office. He’s fine. He was beat up also.” ...

 

 

 

 

The New York Times shows FL-1 and FL-6 staying Republican with each GOP candidate garnering about 57% of the vote in tonight's special elections to replace Gaetz and Waltz

 US HOUSE:

GOP 220

DEM 213 (two vacancies due to deaths; seats expected to stay Democrat yielding 215) 

 

None other than Bernard-Henri Levy, the French Jewish author of the book The Will to See, puts then Representative Mike Waltz (FL-6) and Jeffrey Goldberg of The Atlantic together in October 2021, thanking them for coming to his book launch

 Trump National Security Adviser Mike Waltz denies ever meeting the guy he was standing near.

 

National Security Adviser Mike Waltz lied through his teeth with the cameras rolling to President Trump at the White House on Tuesday, saying he never met Jeffrey Goldberg

 

National Security Adviser Mike Waltz announces that he will dedicate the rest of his life to finding out who really killed Nicole

 

National Security Adviser Mike Waltz actively added Jeffrey Goldberg to the Signal chat about the coming Houthi attack

 

National Security Adviser Mike Waltz said he never met Jeffrey Goldberg but stood right next to him at the French Embassy in 2021 lol

 

The Atlantic calls Trump's bluff and publishes full Signal thread sent to its editor by mistake by National Security Adviser Mike Waltz

 The Atlantic publishes full Signal thread with Hegseth, Waltz after Trump says texts not classified

... Goldberg in Wednesday’s report wrote: “If this text had been received by someone hostile to American interests—or someone merely indiscreet, and with access to social media—the Houthis would have had time to prepare for what was meant to be a surprise attack on their strongholds.”

“The consequences for American pilots could have been catastrophic,” he wrote. ...

War, huh, yeah, What is it good for? Absolutely nothing, uhh

 

Jeffrey Goldberg of The Atlantic was mistakenly included in the Houthi Signal Chat because he shares the same initials as Jamieson Greer

 

Goldberg, who has the same initials as U.S. Trade Representative Jamieson Greer, was mistakenly added to the group by National Security Adviser Michael Waltz.

Reported here.

I hope they don't bomb Ireland when they intend to bomb Iran.

I guess we'll just have to have a Fourth Reich, then, armed to the teeth with nukes: Millennials Pete Hegseth and J. D. Vance think the Europeans are freeloaders

 

In the chats, the user identified as Vice President JD Vance expresses concerns about the strikes but ultimately agrees to go along with US Secretary of Defence Pete Hegseth's plan - before adding 'I just hate bailing Europe out again.'

Hegseth responds: 'I fully share your loathing of European free-loading. It's PATHETIC.' 

And of course they want to throw Mike Waltz under the bus:

There are claims that Mr Waltz is facing the sack over the saga - as he's believed to have been the official who 'added the editor-in-chief [of The Atlantic] to the group'.

One source told Politico: 'Everyone in the White House can agree on one thing: Mike Waltz is a f***ing idiot.'

The Financial Times reports that privately some German officials are starting to wonder out loud whether the time has come to acquire their own nuclear arsenal.

Republican Mike Waltz' former FL-6 seat looks in peril next week if the fundraising figures are any guide

 Or is the Republican advantage there so great that Randy Fine doesn't need the money to win?

 

 

It's a tag team of wacko birds at Real Clear Politics tonight: Donald Trump and his national security advisor Mike Waltz attack Ukraine, blame the victim of Russian aggression

The most disgusting thing I've seen in a long time.

 

The idiots at Newsweek think the House Republican majority is in peril in part because of Lori Chavez-DeRemer going to Trump's cabinet, not realizing she lost her election and is not part of the 220 equation to begin with

 Republican House Majority in Peril

The Republican wafer-thin majority in the House of Representatives is facing growing uncertainty as GOP members of Congress line up for Donald Trump's Cabinet. ... 

[Victoria] Spartz's move [not to caucus with the Republicans] could throw the slim Republican majority in the House into peril amid other GOP members of the House being tapped to serve in Trump's Cabinet. ... 

Representative Lori Chavez-DeRemer of Oregon has also been nominated to serve as labor secretary. ...

Waltz has already submitted his resignation and, combined with Gaetz's resignation and the possibility of Spartz refusing to caucus with Republicans, as well as Stefanik and Chavez-DeRemer being confirmed to Cabinet positions, the Republican majority could collapse, jeopardizing their ability to advance Trump's agenda.

Waltz counts, Gaetz counts, and Stefanik counts, taking the 220 win down to 217 temporarily. Spartz not caucusing with the GOP creates a 216-215 GOP majority, not a 215-215 tie as Newsweek shows. Spartz remains a Republican, however, and presumably will vote with the Republicans.

The uninformed Newsweek writer is from . . . the UK lol.

And, of course, Drudge just repeats the stupidity:

Republican House Majority in Peril...
 

 

 

The more things change, the more they stay the same lol

 

I also want to be clear on one thing. Jake Sullivan and I have had discussions. We've met. For our adversaries out there that think this is a time of opportunity, that they can play one administration off the other -- they are wrong. And we are hand in glove. We are one team with the United States in this transition.

At this hour there are just three US House races which remain uncalled, with the current election at 219 GOP v 213 Democrat

 GOP control of the US House at 218 would be secure, if it weren't for Trump poaching from this field to populate his government.

Not. Very. Bright.

It also tells you that the poached aren't very bright either: Stefanik, Waltz, Gaetz, and Rubio from the US Senate also.

Special elections are required for the House district vacancies. The governor of Florida can appoint Rubio's replacement, but that is only temporary.

Democrats said electing Trump would be a return to chaos.

They were correct about that.

 

Two House races were called overnight for the GOP, AZ-6 and CA-41, giving Republicans a 219 seat majority in the US House election with Republicans leading in an additional three races

 Looks like a 222 majority is within reach, except Trump is already poaching Stefanik and Waltz, bringing the majority down to 220, at least temporarily, which is where it is at right now.

And 222 is still not guaranteed, but like a madman Trump is already counting on it. His big mouth is what usually gets him in trouble. Will his impulsiveness do it this time?

In any event, this is no red wave.

 

It's not just me
