"Republicans must carefully gather evidence of the bribery and build an invincible case for prosecution, not impeachment."
It is a damn shame our House has to do someone else's job and waste their time researching and building an obvious case of bribery and treason. That is NOT why we sent them to DC. The FBI and DOJ already know the facts and do nothing. Their inaction is harboring criminals. Prosecute instead of impeach, for sure, but after this is over, hopefully we'll be closer to placing Trump in the WH to take care of the corrupt Wray and Garland. Biden is just a cheap crook who is in it for the money. Wray and Garland represent the deep state.
DARVO (an acronym for "deny, attack, and reverse victim and offender") is a reaction that perpetrators of wrongdoing, such as sexual offenders may display in response to being held accountable for their behavior.[1] Some researchers indicate that it is a common manipulation strategy of psychological abusers.
No matter what these maggots accuse you of they are guilty of themselves. That is their theme song, and it has been for decades. Yet the spineless Republicans are mice who can't resist a trap loaded with cheese. Well, it's time to reverse the trend and go on the attack. Put the bastards in jail. Every one of them, from Biden to Clinton, from Comey to Garland, and everyone in between. I'm sick of seeing Raskin-like smirks on TV, spewing holier than thou messages. Jail them, starve them and run them the hell out of our country. I have to go now. Time for my distemper shot.
I think half of the people are torn between two camps. Half think the GOP are stupid and part of the uniparty scam and so immediately, assume either deliberately or otherwise they screwed it up.
The other half thinks we should slam heads into the wall like the dems do to us, forgetting that we are not afforded the same cover by the media that the dems are, and therefore we cannot cave to our basest desires.
Both feelings are completely understandable and defensible. And there is no proof Comer won't just bail at the end and justify their fears. However, he has managed to keep this info alive and out there - forcing the mainstream media to use words like unproven, and allegations, etc. And those headlines are starting to fall apart, just by the sheer number of times he's forced the MSM to have to utter them. People are beginning to understand that there is a LOT of money flowing into Biden's pockets under suspicious circumstances. It's part of his polling trouble, to the extent you believe any polling.
Defiant Jester I really like your idea. The treatment for rabies is a lot less expensive and simpler than it was in the old days. My strategy could be effective Express how you really feel while you pound them on the head with a nerve stick. I always threaten to do that at work and they always threaten to turn me in to human resources. They were always afraid of what would happen when I challenged them to do it.
The spirit of the Tea Party smiles. Trent Lott's solution was mostly successful, but not permanent. That is what Trump recognized. That is what he means when he says "They are not after me. They are after you. I'm just in their way."
They certainly did their share to defeat the Tea Party effect. But the Tea Party didn’t go anywhere. It was always just people who fought together for a common purpose. It’s still here.
Thanks for the heads-up. I didn’t realize Trump was involved in the TP. But you’re right, good or bad, Trump is our primary weapon to combat the deep state. Four years from now though, who is the new Trump? DeSantis maybe.
Maybe but don't believe all the hype and press about him. He did a good job in Florida and if it wasn't for his ego and Trumps ego they would probably be on the same ticket. Got to give the guy a chance here. There is no perfect conservative.
Yes absolutely, the Tea Party hasn't gone anywhere, it is the backbone of MAGA now.
I have always been surprised when I hear the statement "the Tea Party was destroyed". Huh? No it wasn't.
The original Tea Party was an awakening; the first blow before the Revolutionary War. So was the modern day Tea Party. It was a super-strong genuine organic grassroots uprising more than it ever was an "organization".
Some organizations arose to give it some structure (and tried to claim that they "led" the Tea Party) and those organizations are still here today and serve a useful purpose. The Tea Party Patriots ("TPP"--you can visit their website) was one strong component of the recent enormous phone campaign to D.C. to get Kevin McCarthy OUT as Speaker--there were news articles with Jenny Beth Martin (the original and current head of TPP) about that campaign. But we are not dependent on those organizations, because we are already awake now and huge numbers of Americans participated in phoning DC about the Speaker race, including myself, who contacted about 30 Reps altogether, and I hadn't even heard of the Tea Party Patriots call for phone-ins. Another excellent organization still active is Freedomworks (you can visit their website too).
The Tea Party itself never had a real leader --it was a movement. That movement eventually found a leader in Donald Trump. Every person I knew who was in the Tea Party is now an enthusiastic MAGA participant.
And most importantly, the grassroots Tea Party folks started running for office, and that's why you have had such a strengthening of Republican control of the state legislatures all over the country in the past decade or so. They have been working their way up the ladder and gaining seniority. They have partially infiltrated the Republican Party apparatus and need to take the Revolution the rest of the way and eliminate the now cowering RINO's.
I fondly remember attending my first Tea Party Rally at our state capitol in 2008. I carried my homemade poster that said "ACORN":
"A--American
C--Communist
O-->
Organizing
R-->
N--Network"!
I'm happy to say ACORN is now long-defunct. They were involved with some illegal campaigning activity, and if I recall, pretty much closed themselves down. Of course as we know, it just took another form.
Never doubt Republicans ability to F things up. But a good thing them spending all this time on hearings that go nowhere. Keeps them away from dreaming up new legislation to further destroy the country. Akin to the Senate approving the NDAA's unconstitutional "Warrantless Surveillance" yesterday. Every day it is something worse than the day before.
Don’t give up yet. The revisions to the surveillance act has to be carefully thought out and Johnson was out of time to do so. But he gets it and will be back on it in the spring. He’s a rookie so give him a little room on this issue.
You mean Magic MAGA Mike Johnson? The one smiling for a photo op outside the speaker’s office with Paul Ryan after their lunch yesterday? Meet the new boss, same as the old boss.
You are putting two and two together and getting 22. Johnson is NOT Ryan. Give the guy a chance for Pete's sake. I don't know a soul who would want his job right now. Don't let your disgust with the GOP and politics in general take control. There are good people trying to right the ship named GOP.
Thank you. I cannot imagine why anyone would want to be Speaker in todays world. But Johnson seems to have a plan even if he is not sharing it with us. He needs a chance to succeed or fail in any regard. Hope his health holds up to the constant barrage.
The Republicans are having a meeting to have a meeting to decide to have a meeting.
Meanwhile can anyone recall the last time Congress did anything to solve a single problem for the American people?
The last time Congress passed a budget was 2007.
Imagine where you would be if you tried that at your home.
Oh and yes, they passed a defense authorization bill for $886 billion, which gave a 4 month extension to the FISA system which allows the government to spy on all of us 24/7 illegally, because of course when the government wants to spy it comes up with a reason to get a FISA judge to sign off on it, even if they have to commit a crime to get the sign off.
Well, at least some are now paying attention, because back in 2008 and going forward, I know that if anyone pointed to this TRUTH to any Republican (representative or colleague), that person would most likely be called (to their face) a "conspiracy nut" and be told their "tin-foil hat was a bit snug today".
So, it's only taken 1.5 decades for more to rub the stardust from their eyes and see stark reality starring back at them.
Democrats are bullies and 'back in my day', most current republicans would've been called wusses, pansies, Nancy-boys, wimps etc. They run their mouths while running away. I doubt anything will actually come of any of it but fundraising.
One year left in Bidens administration. He is done by his own incompetency. They will neither impeach or indict Biden He will leave office and immediately the official rumor mill will talk about how he has advanced senility. He will then sot on his porch in Delaware and slobber oatmeal on himself for the rest of his worthless life.
The hunter is now the hunted....love it. The Republicans will screw this up because they don’t really want to do this, because it interferes with their plans to tank Trump, and the rest of their candidate pool is pathetic.
Hunter the victim spent $872,000 dollars on hookers, drugs, and sex clubs. I mean, seriously, how can you feel sorry for a dirtball like this? He’s the poster child for dirtballs.
DC is a clown show and the Republicans are locked in their clown car. The hate for Trump and us deplorables exceeds their feelings about Biden, which if I’m correct is admiration in a good number of cases. They’d love to lord it over the country and commit crimes in broad daylight like he does.
We shall see where this takes us. Color me skeptical.
Mr. Comer quit asking for money and throw a punch…if Hunter isn’t treated to the same hospitality as Peter Navaro….Representative Comey will go down as Elmer Fudd….sort of looks like him….
Agreed. Impeachment is a political process, prosecution is a legal process. Skip the impeachment.
However, the selection of venue and judge is completely political. No jury or judge in D.C. will convict Biden. But, as the Democrats have shown, the process is the punishment. It’s not right, but it’s the bed they’ve made.
Nevertheless, I am praying that God will touch them ands give them courage to do the right thing, because with Him, ALL things are possible!
BTW, I’m not just talking about ratting out Biden but the whole corrupt apparatus. We could bring it all crashing down because of the courage of a few, kinda like the Walls of Jericho.
At least impeachment would force the enemedia to cover the process. Televising the hearings and trial would make an impression on a lot of people who are currently clueless about all of Xiden’s crimes. A large percentage of people who voted for Xiden said that, if they had known about the Laptop From Hell, it would have altered their voting. Not to mention all of it happening in an election year. Impeach now, prosecute in 2025.
Why waste money and time on a failed impeachment.You are so right in just gathering evidence of criminality until PDJT takes office again.As the evidence does get aired {pooh-poohed} by msm some dems and indies are swayed and may vote as such or stay home on election day.How ever putting bidet behind bars will get him away from the elder abuse by Dr. Jill he is enduring.The NAACP pres put it all out there and it sounds like a lot of fellow travelers agreed.Maybe red in Shitcago that is not blood?Great post but I chose Mueller /lots of time and money/no prosecution.Lead on Poca-Man in the MAGA charge of the Right Brigade andFJB !
It's the globalist donors, the Sea Island billionaires. They are part of the 400 that gave a communist pig(Xi) a standing ovation in San Fran a few weeks ago.
Trump is the only one since Ronaldus Magnus(possibly Newt too) who has flipped these globalist a$$holes the bird hence the permanent Lawfare against him(us).
Got a questionnaire from him yesterday that I filled out, asking about issues that were most important to me.
Turns out that I couldn’t submit my responses without first making a donation to his PAC.
So I sent a response to the email stating, “So, unless I give you money now my opinion doesn’t matter? How about you actually accomplish the job you were sent there to do, #1 being shut down the border, and then we can talk money.”
Yes-- it's the RNC trying to make money off his name. Call the RNC, Call Mike Johnson, call them all, tell them the RNC's "middleman" control of the money flow is OVER. From now on give only directly to each good individual's campaign website.
(Though I will say, the RNC headquarters in DC never answers their phone, only puts you to leave a voicemail. They don't want to hear. So write (doesn't have to be a long letter) directly to Ronna McDaniel, and the Treasurer, etc.) But let the Congresspeople know directly by calling their office. I've found that calling right after their office opens in the morning is the best way to get directly to a live person.
Link doesn't work, but yeah, I too was getting dozens of emails daily with so-called questionnaires and Republican candidates desperate for my opinion -- but all they want is my money. So I've been busy unsubscribing. That actually works!
"House Republicans should unite and help Donald Trump indict."
Yes, they should - but given congressional Republicans' propensity for making the Keystone Cops look like Scotland Yard-caliber detectives, I'm not holding out much hope.
My hunch is that they make it unavailable to the administration on the grounds of fair play or some other rationale that is really just fear of Democrats masquerading as principle.
"Republicans must carefully gather evidence of the bribery and build an invincible case for prosecution, not impeachment."
...and that's where it will all go south for the Republicans in the HoR - they'll claim the evidence gathered was for impeachment, and therefore cannot be used for prosecutorial purposes.
That likely isn't true, but that won't prevent them from using it as an excuse - if Biden's lawyers can get it front of an Obama-appointed federal judge, the whole case will just be dismissed.
For that reason, the Trump team needs to be thinking several steps ahead because the courts are no longer neutral - they are every bit as political as is the legislative branch.
There needs to be a way to replace sitting federal judges with true jurists.
Wilhelm could confess to *giving* state secrets to communist China, and the senate would never convict him.
"I am wondering who the media believes it is kidding."
You and I both know the propaganda apparatus is fooling no one (they know it, too), but they don't have to - they just have to keep repeating the lie.
"All I see him doing is giving Ukraine money we don’t have so it can kickback some of it to Hunter who will give 10% to his dad."
Well, that's it - the Biden crime family are the Americans whose lives would be better if additional funding for Ukraine were approved by the House.
"...Hunter...announced at a press conference that he will not respect a subpoena, an act of defiance that would get a Republican jailed."
See Steve Bannon.
"For some reason, her words upset the state’s billionaire governor and the rest of the Democrat Establishment."
The Porcelain Prince doesn't like being called out - look for Haley to be removed at the behest of a white, privileged billionaire who's never worked a day in his life.
"'You’re not referring to immigrants, you’re referring to Illegal Aliens that breached the open US border because of the Potato in the White House.'"
Nailed it.
My $ is on more impeachment theater.
My expectation is that Comer will prove to be a credit to Elmer Fudd and the Warner Bros. of another time.
I fully agree with you Don, in a perfect world I would feel the same. But this is not a perfect world. Joe Biden will never stand trial for his crimes. He will never be impeached either. We are all so frustrated with our elected officials today it’s a wonder we don’t all go mad. The GOP would need almost 100% of the members of the house to impeach. The problem is the Senate. For the next year the Dems hold control so no impeachment. Joe walks out of office a one term crook. So then it would be up to the new presidents AG to prosecute him. Upon leaving office Joe has one thing going for him, his age and senility. No AG would be willing to start a multi-year investigation and trial with Gramps knowing no judge is going to lock up a senile geezer. Not going to happen. So as long as Gramps can remain in office he has the deep state and his attorneys to defend him with a firewall. Out of office, Gramps would have to hire his own attorneys to defend him. But the bigger issue here is the rest of the administration and deep state players who are also culpable because they have as much or more to lose than Joe Biden does.
Darn, I pushed send before I was done. Anyway, no amount of frustration on the publics part is going to change the outcome. Joe walks. A new AG, even one who has a dig “S” on his chest is going to be flooded with issues and that means he wont waste time on old Joe. The best we could hope for is a Special Counsel to investigate it and waste money for years. The GOP knows this and the investigation is all about hurting Joes approval rating to keep him from a second term. As the corrupt CIA agent in Shooter said, “ We (Joe) win, you (the GOP) lose”.
But's that still a valid achievement--to expose things and hurt Joe's approval--every component of our offense serves a purpose and weakens the enemy. Let's see Joe's approval ratings get into the 20's (although it may be there already and polls are being doctored). Approval in the 20's or even the teens means ballot fraud has to be phenomenal.
This all works together, we shouldn't leave any weapon unused. Hammer on them, hammer on them, hammer on them with every tool we have. Impeachment hearings can serve their purpose.
You make a valid point. But I was just trying to be honest and point out that if we want to punish Joe Biden in some way, it isn't going to happen. We should learn from this and move on to fix things because that is what wins elections. In that regard, I have to say that GOP and winning don't seem to work well together. The GOP is the worst messaging and marketing organization ever! They are horrible at it. Look at all the things going on. It is a PR dream for us yet what do you hear from the RNC? Nothing. Even our talking points suck. This has to change or we are done as a party.
Yes, the RINO's have squandered 98% of the good opportunities for PR communications. I think we can train more of the non-RINO's, though, with our money-- every time someone goes public like Elise Stephanik did with the 3 university presidents, millions of us should send them $5. They will quickly learn--like a lab rat--to press the right lever and speak up.
Human life reduced to the lowest denominator. I like it :) But this is always the trap. We reward positive behavior and then ................... nothing. Stephanik did a very good thing here, but what actually changed as a result of it? Yes, the PA president quit. But did anything change fundamentally at any of the colleges? I certainly get the long game here but it needs to start showing some tangible results in our lifetime. Everytime one of the GOP stars does something worthwhile, the very same day or the day after I get a bunch of emails from them begging for money. Everytime. It doesn't work anymore because I have been burned too many time. When I see things actually changing I will reward those responsible accordingly. I am far from alone in that mindset as well. People are sick and tired of the talk with no follow-up action and results. I haven't given a dollar to one single politician this year. And I will continue to withhold support until I see positive results happening. Until I see results, this is all just a game or a scam, depending on your level of frustration. I don't know what the GOP's problem is with accomplishment and winning but they better get over it real soon.
Yeah, but I think it's the RNC sending those email solicitations the day after somebody speaks up good. The candidate might (have been pressured to) endorse the solicitation, but the solicitation was generated by the RNC and any $$ you give in direct reply to it will go to the RNC. The best way to DIRECTLY reward the good Republican who speaks up is at their own individual campaign website, which (should) bypass the RNC.
And Stephanik's action HAS changed things-- her and the handful of big donors who have withheld $$ have been two of the strongest and most direct blows to the University-racket in a long time. You know more blows will now be coming from the Right, and Academia's cage has been rattled at last.

Yes. See also the predictions by Dems of a Trump presidency.
Hah~ yes! It is almost farcical, as it literally outlines, bullet by bullet, what they are, in real time, doing right now!
Stunning.
...and BILL Clinton - though he had lackeys like Serpent Head to do it *for* him.
No matter what these maggots accuse you of they are guilty of themselves. That is their theme song, and it has been for decades. Yet the spineless Republicans are mice who can't resist a trap loaded with cheese. Well, it's time to reverse the trend and go on the attack. Put the bastards in jail.

I hear you and Im in same boat. I suggest wine for comfort to get thru this.
Comer has been brilliant. The steady drip, drip, drip has been wildly effective.
Half of the poeople reading this blog agree with you about Comer.
The other half think he is a joke: the Ralkin camp?
I think half of the people are torn between two camps. Half think the GOP are stupid and part of the uniparty scam and so immediately, assume either deliberately or otherwise they screwed it up.
The other half thinks we should slam heads into the wall like the dems do to us, forgetting that we are not afforded the same cover by the media that the dems are, and therefore we cannot cave to our basest desires.
Both feelings are completely understandable and defensible. And there is no proof Comer won't just bail at the end and justify their fears.

People are beginning to understand that there is a LOT of money flowing into Biden's pockets under suspicious circumstances. It's part of his polling trouble, to the extent you believe any polling.
I feel you are spot on with Comer drip drip dripping as the regime nedia has to rephrase every report to protect the mob from pitchforks and hot tar.
Defiant Jester I really like your idea. The treatment for rabies is a lot less expensive and simpler than it was in the old days.

The spirit of the Tea Party smiles. Trent Lott's solution was mostly successful, but not permanent. That is what Trump recognized. That is what he means when he says "They are not after me. They are after you. I'm just in their way."
Their recurring nightmare is the Tea Party.
Which the GOP destroyed.
…with aid of Obama/ IRS/ Lois Lerner
They certainly did their share to defeat the Tea Party effect. But the Tea Party didn’t go anywhere. It was always just people who fought together for a common purpose. It’s still here.
That's true and Donald Trump was very active in the New York State Tea Party at that time.
It was the Tea Party patriots who found Donald Trump and wanted him to lead, not the other way around.
Many get this fact wrong.
Remember Trump is OUR WEAPON of choice.
Thanks for the heads-up. I didn’t realize Trump was involved in the TP. But you’re right, good or bad, Trump is our primary weapon to combat the deep state. Four years from now though, who is the new Trump? DeSantis maybe.
I hope not. He is no Trump.
We need a new face, not anyone running this year.
Maybe but don't believe all the hype and press about him. He did a good job in Florida and if it wasn't for his ego and Trumps ego they would probably be on the same ticket. Got to give the guy a chance here. There is no perfect conservative.

Truethevote.org is still out there fighting bigly!
They were crucified during the Obama administration!
Yes!
The Left ACORN reincarnated under a different name/ organization.
Antifa/BLM is a huge part of ACORN.
I remember John & I going to a couple of tea party rallies. Very heartening! Great vibes from all the folks there!
Mostly called "MAGA Republicans" these days.
No where. They are us.
Never doubt Republicans ability to F things up. But a good thing them spending all this time on hearings that go nowhere.

What was Paul Ryan even doing over there?
How often has he been there over the last few years?
Mayby some sluth can find out and tell us.
Haha, he was up to no good, that's for sure!
I agree with Reddog--Mike Johnson has a gigantic job ahead of him, and he is methodically approaching it one step at a time.
Thank you. I cannot imagine why anyone would want to be Speaker in todays world. But Johnson seems to have a plan even if he is not sharing it with us. He needs a chance to succeed or fail in any regard. Hope his health holds up to the constant barrage.
I am with you and TPG in give Mike time.His meeting with pussy ryan can be chalked up as intel recon me thinks.
As I learned in the Army, "sometimes it is better to have your enemies inside your tent peeing out rather than outside your tent peeing in".

Not bad, Hey?
The Babylon Bee is an Oracle doncha know?
Best comment today.
"The Republicans are having a meeting to have a meeting to decide to have a meeting."
Yes, but that's a LOT of stress to carry which is why they are paid $174,000 a year. 🙃
I think Comer will be like Elliot Ness. RINO wishy-washy House members will be Elmer Fudd.
Yeah but Elliot Ness actually got things done. Comer has no support.
Democrats are bullies and 'back in my day', most current republicans would've been called wusses, pansies, Nancy-boys, wimps etc. They run their mouths while running away. I doubt anything will actually come of any of it but fundraising.
One year left in Bidens administration. He is done by his own incompetency. They will neither impeach or indict Biden He will leave office and immediately the official rumor mill will talk about how he has advanced senility. He will then sot on his porch in Delaware and slobber oatmeal on himself for the rest of his worthless life.
Sounds nice BUT
Reality is the Dems have no one else to put in Joe's precarious place to run for POTUS in 2024.
They made their bed and now they are going to have to lay in it for the nightmare ride of their soulless lifetime.
Is it nuts to think that any pol/scientist/uni administrator in NA will be indicted, charged, tried, found guilty and executed the same day?
I heard there is a wish list.
Asking for a friend?
Not nuts, just futile. We go by right and wrong. Congress goes by re-election or no re-election. Light years apart.
Completely agree. Unless indictment, no excitement. ‘Impeachment’ doesn’t rhyme, and shouldn’t oughta excite.
To say something is ‘politically motivated’, with regard to anything happening in D.C., is as descriptive as saying water is wet.
Politically- with relation to the gov’t of a nation
Motivated- having a strong motive
Let us let them have the phrase. MAGA says FAFO. (Destroying Hamas is both)
The fun part of reading Surber are finding the gems scattered thruout. Today’s finest was:
“With AI, anything is possible is the new Bitch set me up.”
Perhaps this is the ‘shibboleth’ we need (see Judges 12.5-6) to defend ourselves from AI.
Let’s test it out. “Did the bitch set you up or are you AI?”
Kudos!
That's a "Keeper" and I hope I can remember it.
The hunter is now the hunted....love it. The Republicans will screw this up because they don’t really want to do this, because it interferes with their plans to tank Trump, and the rest of their candidate pool is pathetic.
Hunter the victim spent $872,000 dollars on hookers, drugs, and sex clubs. I mean, seriously, how can you feel sorry for a dirtball like this? He’s the poster child for dirtballs.
DC is a clown show and the Republicans are locked in their clown car. The hate for Trump and us deplorables exceeds their feelings about Biden, which if I’m correct is admiration in a good number of cases. They’d love to lord it over the country and commit crimes in broad daylight like he does.
We shall see where this takes us. Color me skeptical.
GMTA Tanto.
Merry Christmas Marlan.
And I wish you the same.
Mr. Comer quit asking for money and throw a punch…if Hunter isn’t treated to the same hospitality as Peter Navaro….Representative Comey will go down as Elmer Fudd….sort of looks like him….
Kinda has the voice down too.
Its all for show to hurt him at polls. They will never have the votes to impeach him nor the backbone to indict him. Life is not fair.
Agreed. Impeachment is a political process, prosecution is a legal process. Skip the impeachment.
However, the selection of venue and judge is completely political. No jury or judge in D.C. will convict Biden. But, as the Democrats have shown, the process is the punishment. It’s not right, but it’s the bed they’ve made.
They need evidence of an undeniable “quid pro quo”, “he did this act FOR: this money, for this benefit, for his son.”
His forcing the firing of the Ukrainian prosecutor, BY HIS OWN ADMISSION, coupled with Hunter’s Burisma position, seems a pretty good start.
I’ll say it again: there are people out there on the inside who know who have to come forward, like now.
True, but won't happen.
Perhaps.
Nevertheless, I am praying that God will touch them ands give them courage to do the right thing, because with Him, ALL things are possible!
BTW, I’m not just talking about ratting out Biden but the whole corrupt apparatus. We could bring it all crashing down because of the courage of a few, kinda like the Walls of Jericho.
At least impeachment would force the enemedia to cover the process. Televising the hearings and trial would make an impression on a lot of people who are currently clueless about all of Xiden’s crimes. A large percentage of people who voted for Xiden said that, if they had known about the Laptop From Hell, it would have altered their voting. Not to mention all of it happening in an election year. Impeach now, prosecute in 2025.
Why waste money and time on a failed impeachment.You are so right in just gathering evidence of criminality until PDJT takes office again.As the evidence does get aired {pooh-poohed} by msm some dems and indies are swayed and may vote as such or stay home on election day.How ever putting bidet behind bars will get him away from the elder abuse by Dr. Jill he is enduring.The NAACP pres put it all out there and it sounds like a lot of fellow travelers agreed.Maybe red in Shitcago that is not blood?Great post but I chose Mueller /lots of time and money/no prosecution.Lead on Poca-Man in the MAGA charge of the Right Brigade andFJB !
"I don’t want Biden kicked out of office. Voters can do that. I want him imprisoned."
Exactly.
House Speaker "MAGA" Mike Johnson - 3rd in the chain of command - just had lunch with anti-MAGA Pauly Ryan yesterday. Not good.
Yeah, my optimism about this Speaker is beginning to wane too.
It's the globalist donors, the Sea Island billionaires. They are part of the 400 that gave a communist pig(Xi) a standing ovation in San Fran a few weeks ago.
Trump is the only one since Ronaldus Magnus(possibly Newt too) who has flipped these globalist a$$holes the bird hence the permanent Lawfare against him(us).
They, in conjunction with the banks and hedge funds, are running the whole show, worldwide.
Thank G-d for sources like this, The Last Refuge, Bannon's War Room, AoS, CFP, and Whatfinger...
Got a questionnaire from him yesterday that I filled out, asking about issues that were most important to me.
Turns out that I couldn’t submit my responses without first making a donation to his PAC.
So I sent a response to the email stating, “So, unless I give you money now my opinion doesn’t matter? How about you actually accomplish the job you were sent there to do, #1 being shut down the border, and then we can talk money.”
Johnson had nothing to do with that questionnaire, or the text messages or the emails that are out every.single.day.
But you already knew that, right?
Yes-- it's the RNC trying to make money off his name. Call the RNC, Call Mike Johnson, call them all, tell them the RNC's "middleman" control of the money flow is OVER. From now on give only directly to each good individual's campaign website.
(Though I will say, the RNC headquarters in DC never answers their phone, only puts you to leave a voicemail. They don't want to hear. So write (doesn't have to be a long letter) directly to Ronna McDaniel, and the Treasurer, etc.) But let the Congresspeople know directly by calling their office. I've found that calling right after their office opens in the morning is the best way to get directly to a live person.
….Where they then drop your comments and or complaint in the round file.
It did say:
PAID FOR BY MIKE JOHNSON FOR LOUISIANA
though I take your point.
Yeah, it's tricky to determine where exactly all these solicitations are coming from, and if you give them $$, exactly where it goes to.
Don’t really care.
Link doesn't work, but yeah, I too was getting dozens of emails daily with so-called questionnaires and Republican candidates desperate for my opinion -- but all they want is my money. So I've been busy unsubscribing. That actually works!
Why care if Johnson ate lunch with Ryan; they've known each other for years.
Jesus ate with the sinners.
Jesus, of course, couldn't be influenced by them...that river ran the other direction.
He was trying to show them the “error of their ways”.
I doubt very much Mr. Ryan gives a crap about anyone but himself.
Globalism 101.
"House Republicans should unite and help Donald Trump indict."
Yes, they should - but given congressional Republicans' propensity for making the Keystone Cops look like Scotland Yard-caliber detectives, I'm not holding out much hope.
My hunch is that they make it unavailable to the administration on the grounds of fair play or some other rationale that is really just fear of Democrats masquerading as principle.
"Republicans must carefully gather evidence of the bribery and build an invincible case for prosecution, not impeachment."
...and that's where it will all go south for the Republicans in the HoR - they'll claim the evidence gathered was for impeachment, and therefore cannot be used for prosecutorial purposes.
That likely isn't true, but that won't prevent them from using it as an excuse - if Biden's lawyers can get it front of an Obama-appointed federal judge, the whole case will just be dismissed.
For that reason, the Trump team needs to be thinking several steps ahead because the courts are no longer neutral - they are every bit as political as is the legislative branch.
There needs to be a way to replace sitting federal judges with true jurists.
Wilhelm could confess to *giving* state secrets to communist China, and the senate would never convict him.
"I am wondering who the media believes it is kidding."
You and I both know the propaganda apparatus is fooling no one (they know it, too), but they don't have to - they just have to keep repeating the lie.
"All I see him doing is giving Ukraine money we don’t have so it can kickback some of it to Hunter who will give 10% to his dad."
Well, that's it - the Biden crime family are the Americans whose lives would be better if additional funding for Ukraine were approved by the House.
"...Hunter...announced at a press conference that he will not respect a subpoena, an act of defiance that would get a Republican jailed."
See Steve Bannon.
"For some reason, her words upset the state’s billionaire governor and the rest of the Democrat Establishment."
The Porcelain Prince doesn't like being called out - look for Haley to be removed at the behest of a white, privileged billionaire who's never worked a day in his life.
"'You’re not referring to immigrants, you’re referring to Illegal Aliens that breached the open US border because of the Potato in the White House.'"
Nailed it.
My $ is on more impeachment theater.
My expectation is that Comer will prove to be a credit to Elmer Fudd and the Warner Bros. of another time.
I fully agree with you Don, in a perfect world I would feel the same. But this is not a perfect world. Joe Biden will never stand trial for his crimes. He will never be impeached either. We are all so frustrated with our elected officials today it’s a wonder we don’t all go mad. The GOP would need almost 100% of the members of the house to impeach. The problem is the Senate. For the next year the Dems hold control so no impeachment. Joe walks out of office a one term crook. So then it would be up to the new presidents AG to prosecute him. Upon leaving office Joe has one thing going for him, his age and senility. No AG would be willing to start a multi-year investigation and trial with Gramps knowing no judge is going to lock up a senile geezer. Not going to happen. So as long as Gramps can remain in office he has the deep state and his attorneys to defend him with a firewall. Out of office, Gramps would have to hire his own attorneys to defend him. But the bigger issue here is the rest of the administration and deep state players who are also culpable because they have as much or more to lose than Joe Biden does.
Darn, I pushed send before I was done. Anyway, no amount of frustration on the publics part is going to change the outcome. Joe walks. A new AG, even one who has a dig “S” on his chest is going to be flooded with issues and that means he wont waste time on old Joe. The best we could hope for is a Special Counsel to investigate it and waste money for years. The GOP knows this and the investigation is all about hurting Joes approval rating to keep him from a second term. As the corrupt CIA agent in Shooter said, “ We (Joe) win, you (the GOP) lose”.
But's that still a valid achievement--to expose things and hurt Joe's approval--every component of our offense serves a purpose and weakens the enemy. Let's see Joe's approval ratings get into the 20's (although it may be there already and polls are being doctored). Approval in the 20's or even the teens means ballot fraud has to be phenomenal.
This all works together, we shouldn't leave any weapon unused. Hammer on them, hammer on them, hammer on them with every tool we have. Impeachment hearings can serve their purpose.
You make a valid point. But I was just trying to be honest and point out that if we want to punish Joe Biden in some way, it isn't going to happen. We should learn from this and move on to fix things because that is what wins elections. In that regard, I have to say that GOP and winning don't seem to work well together. The GOP is the worst messaging and marketing organization ever! They are horrible at it. Look at all the things going on. It is a PR dream for us yet what do you hear from the RNC? Nothing. Even our talking points suck. This has to change or we are done as a party.
Yes, the RINO's have squandered 98% of the good opportunities for PR communications. I think we can train more of the non-RINO's, though, with our money-- every time someone goes public like Elise Stephanik did with the 3 university presidents, millions of us should send them $5. They will quickly learn--like a lab rat--to press the right lever and speak up.
Ha!
Human life reduced to the lowest denominator. I like it :) But this is always the trap. We reward positive behavior and then ................... nothing. Stephanik did a very good thing here, but what actually changed as a result of it? Yes, the PA president quit. But did anything change fundamentally at any of the colleges? I certainly get the long game here but it needs to start showing some tangible results in our lifetime. Everytime one of the GOP stars does something worthwhile, the very same day or the day after I get a bunch of emails from them begging for money. Everytime. It doesn't work anymore because I have been burned too many time. When I see things actually changing I will reward those responsible accordingly. I am far from alone in that mindset as well. People are sick and tired of the talk with no follow-up action and results. I haven't given a dollar to one single politician this year. And I will continue to withhold support until I see positive results happening. Until I see results, this is all just a game or a scam, depending on your level of frustration. I don't know what the GOP's problem is with accomplishment and winning but they better get over it real soon.
Yeah, but I think it's the RNC sending those email solicitations the day after somebody speaks up good. The candidate might (have been pressured to) endorse the solicitation, but the solicitation was generated by the RNC and any $$ you give in direct reply to it will go to the RNC. The best way to DIRECTLY reward the good Republican who speaks up is at their own individual campaign website, which (should) bypass the RNC.
And Stephanik's action HAS changed things-- her and the handful of big donors who have withheld $$ have been two of the strongest and most direct blows to the University-racket in a long time. You know more blows will now be coming from the Right, and Academia's cage has been rattled at last.
