Republicans have to believe that either Max Miller is lying and despicable or Bernie Moreno is lying and despicable. It’s a binary choice based on what they both said today. Both cannot be telling the truth. The senator is making false accusations or the congressman is an abuser.
Even a MAGA felon like Bannon can’t stomach Ramaswamy. tiffinohio.net/posts/bannon...
"Vivek is a terrible candidate." Steve Bannon says Trump's Ohio pick is dragging Husted down with him

Takes some talent to lose a war to Iran that you started.
Let’s not forget that the strait was open before the war. These guys are trying to claw their way back to zero.
Aaron Rupar@atrupar.com · yesterdayBessent: "We've seen President Trump last week threaten what would have been the largest military campaign since World War 2 against the Iranians, and now because of that we are in talks with the Iranians. I think there's a chance we may have a deal today or tomorrow to open the strait."
Every part of our government now lies to us daily, shamelessly.
