 Now it is Tulsi Gabbard who is finding respectability in order to be confirmed.

"Tulsi Gabbard Says She Now Supports Controversial Surveillance Law.  Gabbard had previously criticized Section 702 as enabling the government to 'trample' upon civil liberties."

The Trump remaking of America is another example of Giuseppe di Lampedusa's theme in his historical novel, The Leopard, that "things have to change so that they can remain the same."

When I witnessed the Democrats being called off the theft of the 2024 presidential election despite all theft mechanisms being set in place, I concluded that the Establishment had decided that this time it was easier to tame than fight the Trump regime.  

Readers might remember that I said that Trump appointees have to be confirmed in office by the Senate, which is very Establishment, and that confirmation gives the Establishment power over the regime. Make America Great Again is already being forced into embarrassing compromises with the Ruling Elite.
