Winners
Ukrainian gravediggers - The Ukrainians shook things up at the top with a new commander who has a habit of throwing troops into unwinnable pits. If recruitment pictures are any indicator, this wave will be very female.
Tucker Carlson - Leaving Fox did ding him a bit, but he is unshackled and landed and interview with Russia’s President Putin. Oh the treason! Oh the dictator bootlicking! Rep. Pelosi met with dictator Bashar Assad during the Iraq war when Sunni rebel groups were hitting US troops and then jumping over the border into Syria for refuge. Give us a break.
Senate Democrats - No matter how much they disappoint their constituents, they can always point to Senate Republicans as an even worse body of palookas.
Losers
Sen. Lankford - He was the face for McConnell’s boner. Good natured Christian with a weird past testifying about no child sex abuse at Baptist events, but hey, no worries about blackmail right? He is in a deep red state, so no real concern for a primary as the leadership will close ranks when he needs it in a few years.
Biden Tick-tock Hypers - Yes, he mishandled classified documents and exhibits dementia symptoms, but nothing was going to happen. Deep State loves their corrupt family members.
Senate Republican Leadership - It’s over. Just pack it in. No one likes you but the puppet masters. Sen. McConnell will be done in ‘26, and his replacement is likely that black former state AG who just lost the gubernatorial election of ‘23.
