And the aswer to that question is: for the elites! You're like toy soldiers!

He would never through you into an #Israeli war.

PART II
Whereas yesterday's defection from the #Trump team, #CandaceOwens, was a blow to #Trump's social-media influence, the "legacy media" also continue to jump ship.
What is worse, the bad news is now coming even from #Trump's favorite right-wing channel, #FoxNews [#FauxNews.]
Where #CandaceOwens needed a lot of simple terms to dumb it down for the redneck #MAGA voter base, the intellectual #MegynKelly,...

needed but one short sentence. Citing the former young (intellectual) inspiration of the #MAGA movement, the late assassined #CharlieKirk, she comments his post from almost exactly a year ago (and very much worth reading! - For once, I can agree with him!), and needs but one sentence to bring it home:
"Within 5 months he would be killed, but he saw the truth."
For those of you you can't see, I have...

Thanks to President #Trumpโs restraint during his first term, #America has a golden opportunity to pull away from #MiddleEast quagmires for good.
We shouldnโt throw that opportunity away so that sone D.C. has-beens can feel tough by sending young #Americans to die yet again.

Yes, according to the #Axios post he is (here's) most of the post:
"Why it matters: House #Speaker #MikeJohnson's (R-La.) two-vote majority just got even smaller.
๐ โข #Kiley said he will still caucus with #Republicans for "administrative purposes" but noted that he's been a less-than-reliable vote for Johnson even as a #Republican๐.
[...]
๐The intrigue: Kiley stopped short of promising he'll be a reliable vote for Johnson.

Hopefully the defections will increase in numbers.
