Massie: A lot of people are saying Hegseth is effective and good at his job and so they don’t want to vote for these articles of impeachment. Well, the reality is we’re not indicting him for being bad at his job. In fact, he was very effective at killing schoolchildren in Iran. He was very effective at extrajudicial killings. The argument here is that he’s broken laws and he’s violated the Constitution.

NOW – Trump says Biden let in 25 million migrants, including 11,888 murderers, and vows to deport the “worst of the worst, and then we’ll see what happens” signaling flexibility for the rest: “Many of them have good jobs now. They’re productive.” https://t.co/yEJc2w72kc

? WOW! President Trump just BLEW UP on Rep. Thomas Massie and RUSHED to the defense of SecWar Pete Hegseth in the face of impeachment “Defeated Republican Congressman Thomas Massie, a total loser, is trying to Impeach perhaps the most popular and successful military official in the Country, Secretary of War, Pete Hegseth. With recruitment at an ALL-TIME HIGH, from an all-time low under Sleepy Joe Biden, and TWO VICTORIES, Venezuela and Iran, Pete Hegseth should be praised, not Impeached.” ? He’s not going anywhere. It’s DOA in the Senate anyway. CIRCUS!

? JUST IN: SecWar Pete Hegseth just WALKED OUT and ripped Thomas Massie to SHREDS over his impeachment “It’s a farce, and it’s a STUNT. And everybody knows it!” “What one disgruntled and defeated congressman is attempting is not oversight and it’s not accountability. It’s a political spectacle, a personal manifesto driven by ego and RESENTMENT. Time for one man’s final days in Congress to try to do damage to this president, this country, and most irresponsibly, the WARRIORS who defend it.” ??? Massie needs just a simple majority in the House. He’ll likely celebrate it, but this is DOA in the Senate PETE IS FIGHTING BACK

The future is libertarian.

New York Times:

“Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth could face an impeachment vote in the House as early as this week, as lawmakers return to Washington after an election in which voters delivered a sweeping rebuke of the Trump administration and the president’s handling of the war with Iran.

The effort is being led by Representative Thomas Massie, Republican of Kentucky, who on Monday called up a resolution accusing Mr. Hegseth of violating federal law and the Constitution, and abusing his authority on a number of fronts.

Democrats have signaled broad support for the effort, and several Republicans have expressed discontent with Mr. Hegseth, though the outcome remains uncertain in a narrowly divided House. …”

So, what happens now?

I’ve said for months now that Trump has destroyed MAGA with the Iran War and set the clock back to the Obama years and that we were on the cusp of a Lost Decade like 2006-2016. The first phase of my prediction came true when Republicans suffered their worst defeat since 2006.

The second phase will be the resurgence of libertarianism which surged from 2006 through 2016. We’re going to relive the Ron Paul Revolution with disaffected rightwing Independent voters parking at Libertarian, Reform Party, Constitution Party or some third party equivalent for the foreseeable future. Rand Paul might draw some of these voters if he runs for president in the 2028 Republican primary or Thomas Massie if he becomes the Libertarian Party candidate in 2028.

Ex-MAGA voters will splinter in the usual way. The bulk of those who remain active in politics will be drawn into a reinvigorated anti-system, populist libertarianism running against tariffs, AI data centers, the Epstein class, the Iran War, etc. A huge number of them will be lost to conspiracy theories, cynicism and apathy and will drop out of politics entirely. Some will undoubtedly be radicalized into White Nationalism. The Alt-Right flourished between 2006 and 2016 and we might see the next wave of that.

Democrats will be in charge. Republicans will have a broken coalition, a toxic brand and will stink to Independent voters. Rightwing Independents will drift away from the GOP and experiment.
