"The bottom line is trust - vouching that an article is credible and worthy of a reader's time. It all comes down to that."

Loyalty seems to be a one-way street in Washington these days. Supporters vow to serve at the pleasure of the president, to march behind, or stand beside, a man that demands loyalty.

Jefferson's words on equality are often seen as self-evident, yet they fail to encompass enslaved individuals, women, and other marginalized groups, revealing a significant contradiction.

Chris Christie stated, 'I think anybody who follows politics right now can tell there are no principles left in my party.' He criticized Trump's influence, saying, 'He wakes up every morning and tries to figure out what is the best thing for him to do in his self-interest that day, and that day only.'

Rep. Chip Roy stated, 'We aren't getting the job done. Part of that is because we are bound by this big, broken, fake filibuster of 60 votes. But part of it is you gotta have the willpower to do it.'

Scott pre-empted gossip site TMZ, writing, 'Hey TMZ. Yes, I'm at Disney with my grandkids. Should we be in DC? Yes! But I don't get to make that decision.'

The US's clear military and economic dominance of the postwar world gave it an obvious claim to seniority; however, there was also a strong strain within English conservatism at the time that saw itself as Greeks in this American empire, in the words of former Tory prime minister Harold Macmillan. In other words, even if the Americans were to be the new Romans, extending their dominion over every corner of the globe, without the intellectual, cultural and political guidance of their wise old mother country they would quickly fall into ruin.

"It'll guarantee the midterms," he told Republicans gathered in the ballroom of his golf course just outside Miami on Monday. "If you don't get it, big trouble." Trump insisted that building on strict national voter identification laws, banning mail ballots, and restricting transgender rights would secure Republican electoral success.

Indeed, regional "divisions" - others might say "alarm" or "outrage" - had intensified during the fall of 2025 following the US's massive military build-up in the Caribbean, its air strikes against alleged drug boats - resulting in scores of extrajudicial killings - and the threats of a US attack on Venezuela.

I want to make Texas the WORST place for terrorist muslims, groomers, PDFs [pedophiles], & corrupt politicians to live in so help me God. Let's keep Texas Christian. Charlie Kirk would have voted for me.

Holdman, for whatever reason, voted against Redistricting in Indiana, in a District that I won by 39 points, which puts the United States Congress in jeopardy. Holdman and his RINO friends made Indiana, a State I love and have been very good to, the only State in the Country that essentially said they don't care about what happens in the United States Congress.

Donald Trump has called on the GOP to nationalize elections, which are currently run by states, as mandated in the Constitution. Many are alarmed by the president's words, considering his continued quest to consolidate power and his inability to accept the results of free and fair elections. In short, his desire to nationalize seems like a blatant effort to control their outcomes.

Earlier this week, Gary Kendrick, a GOP council member in the red town of El Cajon, on San Diego's eastern outskirts, announced that he was crossing the aisle and joining the Democrats. Kendrick was the longest-serving Republican official in the region's local government. "I've been a Republican for 50 years," he said, in the statement explaining his action. "I just can't stand what the Republican Party has become. I'm formally renouncing the Republican Party."

Jim Boots is exactly right that conservatives constantly complain about Obamacare but can't put forth an alternative either on an individual basis or as a unified position for legislation. By default, then, their many efforts to repeal it would put the U.S. health care system back to its pre-Obama status quo. Has any conservatives ever specifically advocated that? Would anybody want that?
