Is MAGA going to say anything when they have hunger pangs or need a Dr? It’s a cult they will say nothing and swallow it down for their Dear Leader.

Trump suggests US troops could return to base in Afghanistan, citing its proximity to rival China
President Donald Trump on Thursday suggested that he is working to reestablish a U.S. presence at Bagram Air Base in Afghanistan, four years after America’s chaotic withdrawal from the country left the base in the Taliban’s hands. Trump floated the idea during a press conference with British Prime Minister Keir Starmer as he wrapped up a state visit to the U.K. and tied it to the need for the U.S. to counter its top rival, China. “We’re trying to get it back,” Trump said of the base in an aside to a question about ending Russia’s invasion of Ukraine.

Why do I feel like six members of the Supreme Court are going to continue to play footsie with the obvious and growing fascism of Trump right up until the moment he orders Marines to line them up against a wall? These six will go down in history as utterly deluded masochists. Horrifying to watch.

If Republicans *really* thought their cruel cuts were going to help the country, they wouldn't have deviously made them go into effect only *after* the Midterms. They KNOW they are going to hurt people. They just don't care as long as it doesn't hurt them.
