NEW: Trump is mad at Kevin McCarthy and aides say he might rebuke him from the CPAC main stage on Sunday unless McCarthy can patch things up by then.



Three people close to Trump tell me that he’s stewing anew over KEVIN MCCARTHY. It’s become so frequent that his advisers think the House minority leader may be in for a public reprimand. That’s even after the powwow at Mar-a-Lago where McCarthy tried to patch things up after he denounced Trump for the violence on Jan. 6.

second only to Lindsey Graham. I'll refrain from making the obscene comment I have in mind here...

He didn’t purge her from the leadership ranks, ergo insufficient fealty to His Royal Highness.

and he’ll end up saying nothing about KM. If he does rip him apart that makes my day. These guys never learn.

has godlike mental powers and can read minds. The people live in fear of him, constantly telling him how everything he does is "good," since he banishes anyone thinking unhappy thoughts into the otherworldly cornfield from which there is no return.

Never having experienced any form of discipline, Anthony does not even understand that his actions are wrong, and is confused when his father tells him that the neighbors are reluctant to let their children play with him after he sent several of his playmates to the cornfield.


So, McCarthy, unless he starts thinking "good" thoughts about little Trumpy is going to be banished into the MAGAt cornfield. It's crazy how these supposedly intelligent people live in constant fear of His Orangeness' whims. It would all be quite funny if it wasn't for the fact they're trying to turn the country into a dictatorship controlled by theocrats and oligarcs. What a metaphor that golden idol at CPAC is.

it don't smell that you are afraid. A bear or a deer has got to be scared of a coward the same as a brave man has got to be" - William Faulkner

The cowardice of McCarthy and other GOP folk is unbelievably stupid
