If you are poor, why would you even consider an iPhone? Hell even if you have money why would you want an iPhone?

Apple is the greedy corporation that makes billionaires! Plus the left has to hate Apple now that they are investing 500 billion into the USA creating jobs and helping the other billionaires make even more money!!! This must be stopped!!! Personally I think Tim Cook is a Russian agent but you guys haven't got the talking points yet. Timmy is in on all this with Trump, Putin and Musk!!!

Frustration at Elon Musk spills over after closed-door House GOP meeting: 'Fed to the wolves'

"He wants to see better communication between DOGE, the president, and the House, because we’re getting fed to the wolves, while Elon’s just tweeting," one GOP lawmaker told Fox News Digital.
...
"DOGE's recent requests for federal employees should have been coordinated with the agencies before they were issued. I fully support those agencies working with DOGE to improve efficiency and eliminate tax dollar waste," Scott said in a written statement. "With that being said, referring to Americans who may need government assistance as ‘parasites’ is unacceptable in any circumstance."
...
"It’s not how most normal good bosses would lay off somebody," a third House Republican told Fox News Digital. "Some of them may be bad, but most of them are good. Treat them like Americans."

A fourth House Republican, a member of the House DOGE Caucus, told Fox News Digital that Musk's comments were not "helpful."

Another person took issue with Musk's suggestion of stimulus checks for Americans using DOGE savings.

"I think it's childish," that person said. "Now we want to take the money for waste, fraud, and abuse that was collected by the federal government and give everyone $5,000…or we could just pay off the national debt, or we could use that for the next round of appropriations we have to pay for here in Congress."

All made up by the media.

The lie stream media are trying their best to create something out of nothing. They were trying to drive a wedge between Musk and Trump but that isn't working because those two were expecting that 5 months ago. Now they are moving on to lie and make up shit from an anonymous source that "agreed to comment with the condition of anonymity" . Probably Russian agents

‘Not how this works’: The GOP agenda is stuck amid House vs. Senate infighting

Now months into the process, House and Senate Republicans are still trading barbs and accusing each side of slowing down progress on President Donald Trump’s top legislative priority — a sweeping bill linking a tax overhaul to energy, defense and border policies.

When GOP lawmakers return to Washington Monday, they will be under fierce pressure to show meaningful progress toward delivering on that agenda in the narrow, three-week window they have before leaving town again. Speaker Mike Johnson has set an ambitious goal of finalizing a budget blueprint with the Senate and getting it passed in the House by the week of April 7.

Musk says Trump top tariff advisor is a ‘moron.’ The White House says it won’t interfere: ‘Boys will be boys’

Elon Musk publicly clashed with Trump trade advisor Peter Navarro over the administration’s aggressive tariff policy, calling him “dumber than a sack of bricks” and backing up his criticism with data showing Tesla’s American manufacturing credentials. The White House downplayed the dispute, framing it as a sign of healthy internal debate—even as market analysts warn such infighting fuels economic uncertainty.

Dear leader compares Massie to Liz Cheney. How is BDK feeling about Massie now?

I’m sure disagree with Massie on many issues but he does seem to have integrity.

Therefore he is no longer desired by the MAGA party.

Blind loyalty to trump is more important than integrity, principles, logic, reason, critical thinking, or a functioning brainstem.

Wait until Greenland or some country pisses off trump and he sends in the military to show them who's boss. The logical flip flop by "save Ukrainian lives" MAQA yahoos will be entertaining.

Trump ally Steve Bannon ignites new MAGA civil war as he turns on 'unmitigated disaster' cabinet member

'Let me be blunt. Lutnick, who is Elon's pick for Secretary of Treasury, I think he's close to being an unmitigated disaster. We should see a lot less of Lutnick on TV.'

Bannon was especially hard on a much-criticized statement Lutnick made last week about how iPhone factories would come to America and use both automation and millions of American workers.

'We're not doing this so we can set up so robots have a better life. In fact, I don't know why Lutnick is still doing media,' Bannon said.

In recent comments on Face the Nation, Howard Lutnick — who is a regular on TV talking about tariffs — delivered a rant insisting that American factories will be automated.

Seconds later, he claimed they'll be staffed by American workers.

Moderate Republicans draw red line on Medicaid cuts in Trump agenda bill

Vulnerable and moderate House Republicans are warning House GOP leaders that they will not support the “one big, beautiful bill” encompassing President Trump’s legislative agenda if it includes cuts to Medicaid benefits.

Twelve House Republicans in competitive districts — more than enough in the House GOP’s razor-thin majority to keep the bill from passing — sent a letter to Speaker Mike Johnson (R-La.), House Majority Leader Steve Scalise (R-La.), House Majority Whip Tom Emmer (R-Minn.), and Energy and Commerce Committee Chair Brett Guthrie (R-Ky.) on Monday articulating that red line.

“We cannot and will not support a final reconciliation bill that includes any reduction in Medicaid coverage for vulnerable populations,” the members said in the letter led by Rep. David Valadao (R-Calif.) and Rep. Don Bacon (R-Neb.), which was first reported by Punchbowl News and obtained by The Hill.

RINOs better get with the program or they'll be primaried for disloyalty to the trump regime.

Youngkin sparks GOP firestorm after wading into Virginia election controversy

On Friday, Youngkin’s team confirmed the governor called Reid to ask him to step down as the nominee following a report that Republican researchers came across sexually explicit photos on Tumblr posted by the same username Reid uses on other accounts. Reid has adamantly denied the allegations and went as far on Monday as to accuse Youngkin’s team of extortion. Reid, who is openly gay, has also said the reason he is being targeted is because of his sexuality.

Other Virginia Republicans have flocked to Reid’s defense, calling Youngkin’s move an “unforced error.” The growing controversy is raising questions about Republicans’ path forward ahead of November’s election and Youngkin’s political future.

Trump Throws a Tantrum After Getting Roasted by Karl Rove

In an unvarnished interview on Fox News, Rove attacked the president as “Mr. Scrooge,” whose economic approval was plummeting while he mishandled the rollout of tariffs and misled the public about their real impact on prices.

“We elected him for a variety of reasons that were important: inflation, the border, DEI, the military, respect for America,” Rove said Sunday during an interview with Fox News. “[But] things like tweeting out a picture of you as the pope is deeply offensive to a great many people.”
...
“This guy from Maryland—I don’t know if he’s a good guy or a bad guy, I don’t know if he’s a gang member not. The fact is, bring him back to the United States. Lay out the facts in a court of law, and get it done,” Rove said.
...
But during Sunday’s interview, Rove warned that the Abrego Garcia case had dragged on for weeks and was eating away at the president’s approval rating on immigration, even as Trump gets strong marks for border security.

“That shows discernment of the American people,” he said. “Bring him back and do it the right way, and the American people will give you better credit.”
...
“It sounds like Mr. Scrooge,” Rove said on Sunday. “The ordinary American is like, ‘Wait a minute, I thought you were on my side. I didn’t think you were on the side of saying I need to do with less. You’ve got plenty of money, [but] I’ve got to make mine stretch as far as I can?’”

Don't call me a Republican. I'm a conservative. Trump and his MAGA GOP aren't.

When I refer to conservatives, I am referring to the group of Americans committed to conserving the values of the American founding. We are interested in upholding the separation of powers, defending the Constitution and defending individual liberty against tyranny, regardless of who is in office.
...
Republicans, on the other hand, are partisans whose views are malleable and conform to whatever the party believes at any given moment. The opinions could change quickly if they become an uncomfortable political reality for Republicans.

Republicans might, for example, attack the American judicial system, where conservatives know the importance of checks and balances.

For a long time, the goals of the Republican Party were to advance a conservative agenda. That has changed in the era of Trump. Conservatives were forced to watch as Republicans allowed Trump and MAGA to take over the party.

This new version of the Republican Party preys upon partisans who don't have political principles but would rather bend over backwards to justify Trump's actions, regardless of how they fit within a conservative worldview. Now when Trump's direction interferes with conservative principles, the GOP will adjust its platform to conform to Trump – not the other way around.

While conservatives have long held disdain for tariffs, for example, and continue to criticize Trump's tariff proposals, Republican partisans have no problem changing their minds about tariffs to "own the libs."

The only principle that matters in today's Republican Party is loyalty to trump.

Though less extreme from their historical principles the Dems can be described in a similar way. Terms and and labels have list their meaning.

Hawley warns GOP Medicaid cuts are ‘morally wrong and politically suicidal’

Hawley wrote in an op-ed published Monday in The New York Times that paying for President Trump’s domestic agenda by slashing health care for the working poor “is both morally wrong and politically suicidal.”

“Mr. Trump has promised working-class tax cuts and protection for working-class social insurance, such as Medicaid,” Hawley wrote. “But now a noisy contingent of corporatist Republicans — call it the party’s Wall Street wing — is urging Congress to ignore all that and get back to the old-time religion: corporate giveaways, preferences for capital and deep cuts to social insurance.”

Hawley has consistently spoken up about his opposition to the House plan to use Medicaid cuts to pay for the party-line megabill. The House Energy and Commerce Committee has been charged with finding at least $880 billion in federal spending cuts over the next decade.
...
“Republicans need to open their eyes: Our voters support social insurance programs. More than that, our voters depend on those programs,” Hawley wrote.

Hawley’s opposition is a clear sign of the rocky road ahead for the House bill in the Senate. Republicans have only a slim majority in the upper chamber, and several GOP senators have shown little interest in trying to navigate the political minefield of Medicaid changes.
