What Markwayne said about Renee Good and Alex Pretti

Mullin said Renee Good "interfered with ICE enforcement" and "if you don't want to put yourself in harm's way, don't put yourself in a position like that".

Mullin said Alex Pretti was "A deranged individual who came in to cause massive damage with a loaded pistol was shot and killed."

Good luck to any Senator who wants to paint this guy as a nice guy who is honest. I won't be fooled.

However, the 'whatever it takes' still seems to be something that a lot of us cannot accept.

Or, we refuse to even consider it.

Which means...

What we have now isn’t working and there’s no way to tell who is compromised (*COUGH* Fetterman *COUGH*) because of the fucking asshole. Chip Roy wasn’t wrong when he said that almost everybody needs to be fired. The republican party is drunk with power and completely out of control. If we don’t stop Trump and MAGA soon, I fear something catastrophic may be in our near future.

So I mean it’s possible, but it needs to happen.

Trump didn’t have a problem with Noem branding them as terrorists.

He canned her because she said Trump approved her wasteful 200 mil TV ads. He says he didn’t. That’s what got her fired.

But going forward it would be smart to tone things down. Noem became a liability to Trump and that's why she is gone.

Historically, senate confirmations are are more successful when the nominee is a senate colleague. If Mar-a-Lardass wants to replace a failed DHS sec'y with another inexperienced sycophant, nominating a sitting senator would make for an easier pick IMO. I hope Democratic senators grill TF out of him and unanimously vote no.

Did this poster child for MAGA also deserve to be shot?

Let's see how he tries to spin that one.
