The Three Horsemen of the Midterm Apocalypse 🧵
Name drops incoming.
Fuck it. I’m about to bleed truth, then jump on my yacht and sail into the deep ocean. Markwayne can send a cutter out to harass me. IDGAF. Let the chips fall where they may.
Why? Because PEOPLE ARE POLICY
I absolutely LOVE that people are finally waking up to the fact that Susie Wiles sidelined hitters like Elon Musk.
Let me state this emphatically:
PEOPLE ARE POLICY.
PEOPLE ARE POLICY.
PEOPLE ARE POLICY.
Susie controlled who had access to the president. And because she hangs every little leak up like a wanted poster, ACCESS MATTERS.
IDK WTF she waved into the Oval Office just before the bombs dropped on Iran.
At my own expense, I spent an entire week, my burthday week, in DC trying to find out.
For an insider like me, this had been the most transparent administration in history.
No door I pushed on was closed.
Until that week.
That week, the only door open to me was Hegseth, who, for obvious reasons, couldn’t tell me why warships were piling up off Iran and the USCG evacuated all assets while leaving US Merchant Marine ships with their sterns flapping in the wind.
He didn’t have to.
The reason was obvious. He was following orders from the White House.
A building in which Susie controls who walks in and who does not.
PEOPLE ARE POLICY
If Susie wants to avoid going down in history as the worst White House chief of staff since H. R. Haldeman, she needs to sit for multiple long-form podcast interviews.
Then kick the MF White House press corps out of the building, bring in actual based people willing to ask the hard questions that MATTER, and stand there and answer them honestly.
What killed Biden and Kamala more than anything?
GASLIGHTING.
And we’ve been gaslit on critical questions like who TF pushed out based people like Musk, Isaacman, Waltz, Ortagus, and Ruger.
STOP THE GASLIGHTING.
Now, I FULLY admit Trump has been 100 times more transparent than Biden or Kamala ever was.
But when it comes to personnel decisions—why DOGE rock stars were slow-rolled, who TF advocated for the Iran war, and WTF our Middle East envoy @SteveWitkoff did after firing his based-AF (though admittedly huge Lindsey Graham fanboy) #2—the administration has been a BLACK HOLE.
And on a few issues, the gaslighting was EXTREME.
Go back and read the administration’s reactions to that Vanity Fair hit piece on Wiles.
EVERYONE wrote long posts pouring out praise so effusive you’d think a Hallmark AI bot had written them.
NB: I don’t believe 90% of what Vanity Fair wrote. They’re MSM hacks. Calling bullshit on them was fanfuckingtastic.
But you don’t write gushy, ebullient, fulsome praise without a PINCH of criticism and expect us to believe everyone isn’t just falling in line like Democrats after another Pete Buttigieg fuckup.
But blaming everything on Susie, who deserves plenty of blame, doesn’t tell the full story.
And the leading narrative “It’s all Pete Hegseth’s fault because ” is utter bullshit because he executed a plan given him by the White House. 1/6
