An anonymous Republican strategist “close to the White House” is plainly freaking the fuck out, telling Politico Playbook he has “no problem blowing up the Iranians. But when you’re at war, that is 75 percent of your time. This is what Susie Wiles is gonna be doing, this is what James Blair will be doing. This is what senior staff will be dealing with. And that is a problem.”
“It needs to get over quick, otherwise this is a fucking nightmare. It already is a nightmare, because you’ve got the MAGA coalition just tearing at the seams. Anything in a game of subtraction right now is fucking disastrous. Anything that we do that hurts our own base… is catastrophic… They need to explain to the American people, they need, frankly, to do it pretty quickly. And specifically to the Republican base,” the strategist added and tragically the utterly frantic quotes stop there.
A shame, really. Would’ve pasted paragraph after paragraph of this pants-pissing.
