Carlson again says Trump should be "removed from office immediately" and calls his cabinet "cowards" for not initiating the process "They should immediately take him out ... and they won't because they're cowards" So... does this include his buddy JD Vance? (obviously not)

Appearing with Stephen A., Candace Owens rages that Trump "turned on his supporters" and "scammed" them, went to war for Israel, made a "mockery" of rising prices, and "was talking about a ballroom ... when people asked him how he felt about Charlie's assassination" Who could have predicted this?

No matter how much you throw trans people under the bus, you are still going to get attacked. All you've done is betray a vulnerable minority, anger your base, and made the issue front and center.

No fucking shit buddy. This is what we were trying to tell you.
Milo Yiannopoulos: "I didn't really understand the physical reality of how institutionalized the brutality is in America. The manner in which they arrest you, they put you in manacles, everybody is arrested like an MS 13 gang member. 
It was physically degrading. It was frightening. I don't think I've ever been frightened like that before. I was weeping like an old woman for an hour. I wouldn't wish it on anyone."

Tucker with the slight of hand description of foreign policy interventionism as “liberal” and going on to describe Mullin and Graham as liberal accordingly is how setting the table for how you’re going to see him cleave the populist arm of MAGA off for himself and people like Vance.

Explicit call for ethnonationalist purges -- and while Bovino is publicly mad at the administration, they're doing more to carry out this strategy now than they were when he was working there.
