Dave Troy :toad:<p>Preliminary network study I&#39;m working on. The notion that Musk is the pure one and only Trump is dirty is highly questionable. Question Musk&#39;s claims.</p>
Dave Troy :toad:<p>📄 NEW: The debt ceiling has been a source of constant political gamesmanship. Lawmakers are (finally) looking to eliminate it as a source of chaos and uncertainty when it comes up for review again in 2027.

Dave Troy :toad:<p>Trump’s announcement on Russia/Ukraine is not significant. 1) we’re not paying for weapons, we are selling them to NATO, 2) secondary 100% tariffs isolate the US from Russia sphere of influence, a strategic goal for Putin, 3) 50 day window provides pretext for attack escalation.</p>
Dave Troy :toad:<p>Les Wexner is still alive... drag him before Congress and have MTG, Jim Jordan, Lauren Boebert, and Anna Paulina Luna pepper him with insane questions under oath. We are 🇺🇸 and this is what we deserve! MAKE THE PANTY MAGNATE TESTIFY!</p>
Dave Troy :toad:<p>Really, it&#39;s genius: spark a huge divide between Executive and Legislative Branch. Lead conspiracy theorists way out into speculative terrain. Force a deadline of October 2026 for max lulz and idiocy. Everybody is tainted and harmed in time for midterms. Love it. 😍</p>
Dave Troy :toad:<p>Personally I think it would be hilarious if MTG and friends call for a 9/11-style &quot;Congressional Commission on Epstein Truth.&quot; Publish the big fat report and everything. Let&#39;s go all in, if we&#39;re doing this. Will keep them busy and from doing other real damage. 😂</p>

📄 NEW: "As Trump Fails to Deliver, Russia Looks to Musk's America Party for Leverage"

While Donald Trump has shown deference to the Putin regime, Moscow is turning to Musk to help close the gap on their most important policy goals. My latest.

America 2.0 · As Trump Fails to Deliver, Russia Looks to Musk's America Party for LeverageWhile Donald Trump has shown deference to the Putin regime, Moscow is turning to Musk to help close the gap on their most important policy goals.

🚨Massie now says he has 10 votes to block Trump's Big Bill; Musk and RU propaganda apparatus are lined up behind him. This means BBB WILL NOT PASS until his faction is appeased. Dems must propose a CLEAN DEBT CEILING BILL now!

📄 NEW: Elon Musk threatens Republicans and Democrats with promise to create the "America Party" if Trump's Big Bill is passed. Here's what that might look like, and why Pakistan may be up next for "denuclearization." My latest.

America 2.0 · Libertarian “Anti-War” Backers Have Buyer's Remorse as Trump's Agenda UnfoldsSix months into Trump 2.0, backers have buyer's remorse. And is Pakistan up next to be "denuclearized" by Trump?

Libertarian/Russia GOP now likely to try to speed-run the Kubler-Ross stages of grief and come up with reasons why Trump should be allowed “this one time” exemption in order to finally “end all wars.” But it will take some serious mental gymnastics.
