Talk:RINO of the Year 2025
Here's the award.
Susie Wiles
Trump outta fire Wiles and bring in Gen. Michael Flynn as chief-of-staff to get Tulsi, Bondi, Kash, Hegseth, Ratcliffe & Bongino all working in the same direction. RobSRecovering Republican 18:54, December 16, 2025 (EST)
- Bondi, Bongino and Hegseth may need to be fired as well. Kash and Ratcliffe definitely do.--Geopolitician (talk) 20:46, December 16, 2025 (EST)
Update: Bongino quits. Now we'll get the kiss & tell all on the Epstein debacle. RobSRecovering Republican 17:34, December 17, 2025 (EST)
- It's a matter of getting them all on the same song sheet. The case of Kash is quite different. Although he's never managed a large organization, he's got 10 years to get the feel of it, root out the subversives and turn the organization around - a daunting task outside his regular law enforcement responsibilities. Although personally I think Congress should break up the organization (counterintelligence should be split off from law enforcement), some of his recent actions appear to be the same-ol'-same-ol'.

- Kash is literally allowing his own hires to threaten lawfare against Thomas Massie for speaking up about Epstein. He doesn't deserve another chance. He needs to go now.--Geopolitician (talk) 23:13, December 16, 2025 (EST)
- Bottomline: If the RINOs stay in power (GOPe is already making plans post-Trump), the Dems will retake the House on 2026, Trump will be impeached, again, and the party's over. The RINOs can't lead. They are content being a "controlled opposition" (witness Glitch McConnell). RobSRecovering Republican 22:06, December 16, 2025 (EST)
- I've reached a point where I wouldn't blame people like Rand Paul and Thomas Massie if they voted to impeach Trump themselves. This administration is (probably) beyond saving at this point.--Geopolitician (talk) 23:15, December 16, 2025 (EST)

Update: Rumor is Bondi may soon be out. Both Bongino & Bondi's departure is said to related to the mishandling of the Epstein Files, although for different reasons. RobSRecovering Republican 14:08, December 26, 2025 (EST)

Sorry, I forgot to include this question earlier. What about the top tier?--Geopolitician (talk) 14:51, January 2, 2026 (EST)
- I tried to limit it to under 10. RobSRecovering Republican 15:27, January 2, 2026 (EST)
Anybody else want to vote?--Geopolitician (talk) 11:20, January 3, 2026 (EST)
- We forgot Lutnick. I debated with myself for a while but held off. Maybe we should reverse the order and put Rubio, author of the Latin American regime change operations, No. 1. RobSRecovering Republican 15:31, January 3, 2026 (EST)
