I love how some in the political/media complex are bemoaning the fact that Trump is picking people who are loyal to him instead of "independent" candidates for his cabinet. Apparently they either forgot (conveniently) or are not old enough to remember when JFK picked his brother to be his AG. There was no opposition to that selection among the chattering class. One might, however think that they would recall that Obama called his AG, Eric Holder his "wingman" without the slightest hint of irony. One might, but apparently one would be mistaken.
They made themselves irrelevant because they didnt think Trump would be back. They have spent nae on 10 yrs going after that man. They expected the American People to keep in their lanes and follow along like good sheep right into communism. Expecting that they, themselves would be above it all as the ruling class. They were wrong on all accounts.
The only way they can get back at Trump now is to set him up again. Well the swamp did that first time round, so he learned. He has lawyers this time, making sure he makes no procedural mistake on his Cabinet but he will be getting his cabinet. Also, putting people in place that have been wronged by those Agencies is brilliant. The incoming cabinet has motivation to get the swamp alphabet Agencies fixed.
The other thing that these Senators/swamp dont realize is that by NOT confirming his Cabinet, they are declaring themselves part of the swamp and people back home are watching. Or maybe they do since Senators are changing their minds. If they dont confirm Gaetz, then the Senators are accepting that an extortionist (who is in jail, and setup several others besides Gaetz to be taken down by child porn and minors), has more credibility than Trump's pick. Trump has backed them into a corner the Senators cant get out of easily, and I think not at all even if the 'hacked' report gets released.
The ABC program, the View, being forced by their army of lawyers to deliver that legal note regarding Gaetz, was in response to a shot over their bow which came from the Trump administration’s legal team.
They’re no longer going to just sit by and let the media, or anyone else for that matter, get away with their reckless slander and defamation any more.
The real heat is on, and watching that View-chic choke while having to deliver it was a glorious thing to behold.
Agree kam. If the Gaetz file is released, "legally" or not, Trump should release all of the confidential settlements made on behalf of senators and representatives, which were paid for by taxpayers, not the individuals involved. FJB anyone?
I doubt Gaetz will make it. He will be the one DJT sacrifices to get others confirmed. Not Trumps fault, Gaetz burned his own bridges along the way and his conduct gives the risk adverse Senate an excuse to give him a rhumbs down. Gaetz did a great job but he rattled too many norms in the House and Senate Country Club.
But--if the Senate doesn't confirm Gaetz, DeSantis MUST appoint him to the Senate, and then all those Senators are going to have to deal with Gaetz in their face, all day, every day, which would be GREAT. Either way it will be a win for us. I prefer Gaetz as AG, but if Trump can find another candidate who is pure aggressive FIRE, that would be OK too.
Ken Paxton or Kris Kobach would both be excellent (and triggering) picks as well and as a bonus both have been fighting either covid, child mutilation and/or border illegals for years already. Winning!!
I feel PDJT is willing to take the DC swamp to the mat with the Gaetz pick and will recess him as needed to make the point he is serious this go-round.
It's true! Whoopi has unearthed a KKK meeting going on in Staten Island!
Mrs Cast-Iron, eagle-eyed, spotted this nefarious, race-baiting kid pointing towards the Black and White cookies, indicating his approval of segregation...
Funny how they stopped making fun of Vance's Yale degree, isn't it? January 20, 2025: ICE, backed up by Marine MP battalions, hits Springfield OH and herds everyone of those damned illegal aliens back to Haiti where they belong. By force.

11/20/24: Excellent summary of the events! And that "hacked report" was written by one of Comey-Wray's rapacious minions. Utter fiction. Imagine how stupid these assh*les are: "Let do what we did in 2016!" as if it were remotely possible to fall for the same garbage twice. Now, to convince Trump to wear his sanitation department florescent vest while he's being sworn in, symbolizing everyone who's been shafted by the deep swamp since about 1990...
Minor quibble: Trump isn’t exposing the RINOs, they are exposing themselves. All he’s doing is fulfilling his campaign promises that he was elected to do and the RINOs/deep staters are bringing the spotlight on themselves. The legacy media has already exposed themselves and lost so much trust and credibility as to be virtually irrelevant. The rest are next. It’s why people like Musk, Kennedy, Gabbard, etc., have jumped on the Trump train.
Need his 2026 primary challenger to start getting ready. Last of the Bush federal power base to be shown the door by not getting on the MAGA train.
Sure ain’t gonna be a Kay Bailey Hutchison - sitting there deer-eyed at NATO when PDJT45 told the US is not going to send our boys to Their wars, and EU needs to cough up billions in back dues….
I think Cornyn is disgusting. After he voted for gun control he went to a "Town Hall" and told people who were letting him have it: "I don't listen to the mob." He works for the Chinese.
He is probably among the senators that complained that they didn't like getting "bullying" calls from voters.
In my fantasy world one of the founders would come back to school these entitled lazy creeps on what our Constitutional Republic is, and who works for whom!
Yes indeed. Corny is too close to becoming another Mitch McConnell. Swamp creature, fixture or poster boy for term limits tag it however you wish. The future starts now.
On another platform I posted 'Hang them'. Of course they'll never do it however a few swingers will make the sobs think twice anyway as a deterrent I'm thinking. Maybe if we start talking about it the thought will get traction and become a 'good idea.'
You know that Cornyn is UP FOR ELECTION in two years, right??? 😊
Start looking around NOW to see WHO is going to line up to PRIMARY THIS RINO!!!
Search your TX executive committees (or whatever you all call them) in each county and search (join) the National Federated Republican Womens clubs in your area. I've heard they are very well organized in TX. See if they know of a great MAGA candidate to start supporting now.
When the other GOPe SENATORS SEE the Cornyn's of their world FALL, they MIGHT GET WITH THE PROGRAM!!!!
Very good point. Pressure on one RINO does exert a pressure on all the other RINO's who witness it. Texans can start hammering on Cornyn now. Cornyn has only himself to blame. He reached for the leadership position, and should have known that RINO-ness would be anathema to the 85-90% of Republicans that are MAGA. So he has asked to be pressured.
I WOULD LOVE to see THAT!!! Do you think he has any chance?? Will Allen West try for it??? (Or maybe he'd run for Wesley Hunt's congressional seat?? I have no idea if Allen West lives anywhere near that district)
Don't know either..... But we need a fireball Senator and it isn't CORNYN. I love Wesley Hunt! I do think he would have a great chance. Texas is DONE with Corny. I guess he hasn't gotten the message.
TRUMP IS A MASTER AT DOING THE BEST "YOU'RE FIRED!!!!!!!!!!" END OF LIFE DETAIL ON LOSERS, TRAITORS, THIEVES, MORONS, AND AMERICA HATERS. I LOOK FORWARD TO HEARING IT OVER AND OVER AND OVER AGAIN.
I have to disagree somewhat. I've been around Cornyn (he wouldn't know me from a stump in the ground) and while he's not the most imaginative senator, he really does care about the state and the country. He would have been a far better choice for majority leader than Thune. I think Cornyn will do well with Trump. But if he doesn't then we'll get rid of him!
Holder - who referred to himself as Obama's "wingman", defied congressional subpoenas with a smile. He refused to testify in the congressional investigation of Obama's "Fast and Furious" program which supplied Mexican drug cartels with guns. One of those guns was used by a drug smuggler to kill US Border Agent Brian Terry.
I don't recall any outcry about a DOJ "independent" of the president or Holder going to federal prison for twice ignoring a congressional subpoena.
Holder and his buddies Bill Ayers and Bernadine Dohrne need to be dealt with as the actual criminals they are. It’s probably true that with me there is no ax to small to grind but to let these murderous, seditious piece of leftist filth walk around as if they did nothing wrong is criminal in itself!
They ‘found’ a bit of ‘Illegal procedure’ during his arrest and processing that invalidated his trial. It occurred to me while writing that , considering how corrupt the FBI ( and at this point, every 3 letter agency) is, how easy it would be to intentionally do something like that in order to get that result they really wanted and then blame it on the lawyers.
Democrats cannot learn. They cannot be taught. They are first foremost and only political animals. All that matters is power. They didn’t get their way so now they will simply be in the way. The hell with what our country clearly wants. Trump’s appointees are scaring the hell out of them. This is part of the fight, fight, fight!
“…to ensure that key decisions affecting public trust are made by ‘accountable government officials,’ according to federal statute.” That is the crux of the problem, there have been NO government officials held accountable for any of the crimes and malfeasance done by the clown car that has masqueraded as a government. DJT and MG are exactly what this country needs to clean out the merd that is the DOJ.
Yeah - like the 51 government "experts" claimed that Hunter Biden's laptop was a "Russian fake", only to discover that the Hunter Biden laptop was genuine. At least, all those 51 "ex-spurts" should have been fired and their retirement accounts revoked.
Exactly why the almost deafening silence over his pick of Rubio gives me great pause. When Washington and the media appear to approve, that’s a very bad sign indeed.
He would never have been my choice at all to head that den of iniquity known as our State Department.
It is, and has always been, a nest of some of the worst of the worst elements within the Federal Government for decades, no matter which party was in power, and responsible for untold levels of unAmerican, unConstitutional death and destruction the world over.
It needs to be throughly dismantled, root and branch, fumigated, and rebuilt from the ground up.
The last person I see doing anything remotely like that is “Little Marco”.
Indeed, this gets him off the IC committee and in a role that will be neutered by DJT himself. Brilliant move. No better source of reaching into the Deep State bowels of DC than Sundance.
He could’ve named him to head the Dept. Of Transportation, or some lesser appointment.
But State Department?
I do not get it, and fear it was a mistake.
One thing in Rubio’s favor is that he is a staunch supporter of Israel, which will no doubt create quite the kerfluffle in there, as they are historically mostly rabid antisemites.
Remember, Gaetz got rid of RINO McCarthy. Why was he able to do that? The Red wave turned out to be a Red trickle. This gave a few Congressmen inordinate power to control the speaker position. If the RINO’s had delivered a Red wave then these Congressmen would have had very little power. They hate Gaetz for having the heuvos to force the Speaker to do his job! They know he’ll use that power again.
President Joe Biden addressed the nation after the election-his message was simple: “setbacks are unavoidable, but giving up is unforgivable,” and he concluded by saying, “may God protect our troops.” Unfortunately, many lunatics in his party have given up on fighting for America and have even given up on supporting our troops. This anti-American and anti-military sentiment in the Democratic party contributed to President Trump’s victory. Veterans are homeless. Illegals are in luxury hotels? Something is terribly wrong in this world, America. Pray God that is Lord of all, that this is soon corrected.
Bravo, Surbs. 50% Matt 34 % Pete. Two of my 4 horsemen. along with Elon and RFK. Down to my last farm, but I'm betting that DJT and his warriors. will drain the swamp. 'My fellow Americans, our long national nightmare may be over. Our Constitution works; our great Republic is a Government of laws and not of men. Here the people rule.” “A government big enough to give you everything you want is a government big enough to take from you everything you have.”'
IDK, still don't think Matt Gaetz will get confirmed. RINO's ain't gunna give up this easy. Maybe he was set up as a decoy and take the heat so all other appointments are confirmed smoothly. Besides, he would be well served in the Senate where he might be the only one who would break the code of omertà and provide some sunlight on this sh*t hole of a chamber.
Every time I read “ Government money” I think that people have forgotten that the government only “has” money because of the people , that the government cannot create wealth . It is utterly parasitic. Trump , who does understand wealth creation, ( also Musk) is the ideal man to remind the voters that these bureaucrats use our money, work for us, and are no longer in charge. Most of the media are just carnival barkers.
Brit Hume’s thought about a mandate is kinda squishy: ‘The president would be wise to ignore the talk from his supporters about what an enormous mandate he has and what a great landslide he won, because thinking that can lead to trouble, However, following through with his promise of mass deportation would be an appropriate reading of Trump’s mandate, given how clear the president-elect was on his goal. Particularly on the deportation of illegal migrants, I think it’s fair to say he has authority to do that, and the voters understood that that’s one of the things he said he was going to do, and he never backed away from. If he moves ahead with that, I don’t think it’s an overreading of his authority, or his mandate.”
I used to like and respect Brit Hume but he is a dinosaur now, possibly a fossil in the rock of media history. His brand of "conservatism" hails back to George W Bush.
Those days are over. Hume's days are over. Of course, Fox's days are over too.
Remember what Bannon said: “Fox News is television for stupid people.” No one should pay attention to anything they say. Exceptions only when Fox personalities are off their chain appearing in other outlets ie Dan Bongino, Pete Hegseth. Gutfield & Co. are in a different category.
Hume: The combination of Murdoch and the man he picked to run Fox News, Roger Ailes, who had come from politics and CNBC, cinched the deal." Failure is not an option with him," he said of Ailes. Did Brit change on his own? Or did the new Murdoch generation change him? May I call you Octo?
I'm seeing the trailer for the Angel movie release called Bonhoeffer on several sites I visit and am intrigued to know the bigger story of his life. On first glance, I am struck with the notion that the scenes depicted in the rise of Nazi power, and the opposition to it, are playing out in a slightly different (but parallel) form in this election of 2024.
Matt Gaetz is a soldier in the Bonhoeffer resistance, this time led by DJT. We are fighting an enemy just as evil and more deeply ingrown and difficult to overcome. We need independent, strong fighters like Gaetz and Hegseth..
“If I sit next to a madman as he drives a car into a group of innocent bystanders, I can't, as a Christian, simply wait for the catastrophe, then comfort the wounded and bury the dead.
I must try to wrestle the steering wheel out of the hands of the driver.”
Fascinating-a bit more cut&paste-Dietrich Bonhoeffer, a German theologian, is a Christian hero for many. Executed by the Nazis just days before the end of WWII for his participation in a plot to assassinate Hitler, Bonhoeffer is hailed as a 20th-century martyr. But Bonhoeffer struggled with a moral dilemma – his religious views were in stark contrast to the evil he saw all around him. He chose to face possible imprisonment and execution and to remain faithful to the principles of his belief in God. Across the political and theological spectrum, Bonhoeffer is celebrated as an icon of true Christianity and his theological writings are classics throughout the Christian world.
Thank you for the excellent summary. I fear we are facing a threat as big as the one Bonhoeffer died for. I am certain Donald Trump felt that threat on July 13. Likewise, his cabinet nominees probably feel a similar threat today.

Agree kam. If the Gaetz file is released, "legally" or not, Trump should release all of the confidential settlements made on behalf of senators and representatives, which were paid for by taxpayers, not the individuals involved. FJB anyone?
Amen Roaring .
Yup, if Gaetz does get confirmed there will be no greater indicator that the RINO is dead.
I doubt Gaetz will make it. He will be the one DJT sacrifices to get others confirmed. Not Trumps fault, Gaetz burned his own bridges along the way and his conduct gives the risk adverse Senate an excuse to give him a rhumbs down. Gaetz did a great job but he rattled too many norms in the House and Senate Country Club.
But--if the Senate doesn't confirm Gaetz, DeSantis MUST appoint him to the Senate, and then all those Senators are going to have to deal with Gaetz in their face, all day, every day, which would be GREAT.

I feel PDJT is willing to take the DC swamp to the mat with the Gaetz pick and will recess him as needed to make the point he is serious this go-round.
I think you're right. Trump has zero incentive to back down.

We need a Cornynoscopy here in Texas.
I think Trump’s plan is to expose all the RINOs in the next 18 months. And organize primaries on all these asshats.
Sounds like a great plan to me, Greg!
I like it I love it I want some more of it. Country song?
Minor quibble: Trump isn’t exposing the RINOs, they are exposing themselves. All he’s doing is fulfilling his campaign promises that he was elected to do and the RINOs/deep staters are bringing the spotlight on themselves.

Glory days!!!!
Comfortable retirement. Or multiple public questions asked.
They All, 100% of them, are or have been on the take, directly or indirectly.
They are already exposed. Just wait for the confirmation hearings. Watch flip flop Grahams conduct.

I suspect the Bush nephew that ran against Paxton wants to run for Cornyn's seat.
Paxton would be a FAR better pick to primary the loathsome Cornyn.
YES, YES, YES!!!!! THANK YOU CACTUS MATT32!
For sure!!! Cornyn is a crock!
Nailed it !
A CROCK FULL.
I'd laugh loudly but I'm technically not awake yet.
I think Cornyn is disgusting. After he voted for gun control he went to a "Town Hall" and told people who were letting him have it: "I don't listen to the mob." He works for the Chinese.
December 2022 - also voted with dems on an omnibus spending bill that locked the pending Rep house take over from passing a budget for 19 months
He is probably among the senators that complained that they didn't like getting "bullying" calls from voters.
In my fantasy world one of the founders would come back to school these entitled lazy creeps on what our Constitutional Republic is, and who works for whom!
Yes indeed. Corny is too close to becoming another Mitch McConnell. Swamp creature, fixture or poster boy for term limits tag it however you wish. The future starts now.
We dodged a bullet when Cornyn didn't become Majority Leader!
On another platform I posted 'Hang them'. Of course they'll never do it however a few swingers will make the sobs think twice anyway as a deterrent I'm thinking. Maybe if we start talking about it the thought will get traction and become a 'good idea.'

Don't know either..... But we need a fireball Senator and it isn't CORNYN. I love Wesley Hunt! I do think he would have a great chance. Texas is DONE with Corny. I guess he hasn't gotten the message.
With any luck he WON'T run for re-election in two years!
FIRE THEM ALL!!

I have to disagree somewhat.

He refused to testify in the congressional investigation of Obama's "Fast and Furious" program which supplied Mexican drug cartels with guns. One of those guns was used by a drug smuggler to kill US Border Agent Brian Terry.
I don't recall any outcry about a DOJ "independent" of the president or Holder going to federal prison for twice ignoring a congressional subpoena.
Holder and his buddies Bill Ayers and Bernadine Dohrne need to be dealt with as the actual criminals they are. It’s probably true that with me there is no ax to small to grind but to let these murderous, seditious piece of leftist filth walk around as if they did nothing wrong is criminal in itself!

Laws only matter if they are enforced. In his case, they weren't.
Red,
They ‘found’ a bit of ‘Illegal procedure’ during his arrest and processing that invalidated his trial. It occurred to me while writing that , considering how corrupt the FBI ( and at this point, every 3 letter agency) is, how easy it would be to intentionally do something like that in order to get that result they really wanted and then blame it on the lawyers.
You are right Chuck as the feds were crooked in the 20s ,just not as overt.

Democrats cannot learn. They cannot be taught. They are first foremost and only political animals. All that matters is power. They didn’t get their way so now they will simply be in the way. The hell with what our country clearly wants. Trump’s appointees are scaring the hell out of them. This is part of the fight, fight, fight!
…and, tragically, far too many Republicans fit that bill as well.
Yes. RINOs are Democratic Operatives and should be treated as such.
“…to ensure that key decisions affecting public trust are made by ‘accountable government officials,’ according to federal statute.” That is the crux of the problem, there have been NO government officials held accountable for any of the crimes and malfeasance done by the clown car that has masqueraded as a government. DJT and MG are exactly what this country needs to clean out the merd that is the DOJ.
There HAS to be accountability. Someone HAS to do prison time. If not, how will anything change?
Yeah - like the 51 government "experts" claimed that Hunter Biden's laptop was a "Russian fake", only to discover that the Hunter Biden laptop was genuine. At least, all those 51 "ex-spurts" should have been fired and their retirement accounts revoked.
I really hope they get their clearances revoked. They need to be brought back and fired so they lose their pensions. Then sent to jail.
There are hundreds of security clearances that need to be revoked
There are.
You know you are over the target when the incoming fire intensifies.
Trump is definitely over the target with Gaetz, RFK and Hegspeth.
Can't wait for Hoggish Greedly to take over EPA
H.Hewitt has made a suggestion to PDJT that includes these parasites extinction.Fingers crossed.
Exactly why the almost deafening silence over his pick of Rubio gives me great pause. When Washington and the media appear to approve, that’s a very bad sign indeed.
He would never have been my choice at all to head that den of iniquity known as our State Department.
It is, and has always been, a nest of some of the worst of the worst elements within the Federal Government for decades, no matter which party was in power, and responsible for untold levels of unAmerican, unConstitutional death and destruction the world over.
It needs to be throughly dismantled, root and branch, fumigated, and rebuilt from the ground up.
The last person I see doing anything remotely like that is “Little Marco”.
Sundance at The Conservative Treehouse has some thoughts on the Rubio appointment that are worth reading. Gist is Trump is playing chess.
Indeed, this gets him off the IC committee and in a role that will be neutered by DJT himself. Brilliant move. No better source of reaching into the Deep State bowels of DC than Sundance.
I think that may be a grasping for “hopium”.
He could’ve named him to head the Dept. Of Transportation, or some lesser appointment.
But State Department?
I do not get it, and fear it was a mistake.
One thing in Rubio’s favor is that he is a staunch supporter of Israel, which will no doubt create quite the kerfluffle in there, as they are historically mostly rabid antisemites.
We shall see.
I worry about Rubio too. Unless this is a plan to get him out of where he is, and into a spot that Trump can get him out totally. I dont know.
Trump plays 4D chess most of the time, while everyone else is on backgammon.

Remember, Gaetz got rid of RINO McCarthy. Why was he able to do that? The Red wave turned out to be a Red trickle. This gave a few Congressmen inordinate power to control the speaker position. If the RINO’s had delivered a Red wave then these Congressmen would have had very little power. They hate Gaetz for having the heuvos to force the Speaker to do his job! They know he’ll use that power again.
President Joe Biden addressed the nation after the election-his message was simple: “setbacks are unavoidable, but giving up is unforgivable,” and he concluded by saying, “may God protect our troops.” Unfortunately, many lunatics in his party have given up on fighting for America and have even given up on supporting our troops. This anti-American and anti-military sentiment in the Democratic party contributed to President Trump’s victory. Veterans are homeless. Illegals are in luxury hotels? Something is terribly wrong in this world, America. Pray God that is Lord of all, that this is soon corrected.
Bravo, Surbs. 50% Matt 34 % Pete. Two of my 4 horsemen. along with Elon and RFK. Down to my last farm, but I'm betting that DJT and his warriors. will drain the swamp. 'My fellow Americans, our long national nightmare may be over. Our Constitution works; our great Republic is a Government of laws and not of men. Here the people rule.” “A government big enough to give you everything you want is a government big enough to take from you everything you have.”'
yes they should play that quote endlessly on a loop for the next 12 years.....
IDK, still don't think Matt Gaetz will get confirmed. RINO's ain't gunna give up this easy. Maybe he was set up as a decoy and take the heat so all other appointments are confirmed smoothly. Besides, he would be well served in the Senate where he might be the only one who would break the code of omertà and provide some sunlight on this sh*t hole of a chamber.
I've thought the same thing. Luckily, Trump has a few great back-ups including one quoted in the article, Mike Davis from Article III.
More effective as AG, Sir. If he is indeed a recess appointment, all Hail to King DJT, and may he and Conservatives reign forever.
My thinking is there are many good picks for AG but only one Matt Gaetz in the biggest of Deep State Swamps -- the Senate.
We’re all in the realm of speculation at this point, Adorable. (And I think its adorable that you’re a realist.)
Fortunately, we get to reload our bucket of popcorn, and see how this movie ends. Watch and learn.
Yes, always been a realist. Sometimes accused of being a glass half full guy...but let's face it, the glass has been empty for 60-70 years...
Every time I read “ Government money” I think that people have forgotten that the government only “has” money because of the people , that the government cannot create wealth . It is utterly parasitic. Trump , who does understand wealth creation, ( also Musk) is the ideal man to remind the voters that these bureaucrats use our money, work for us, and are no longer in charge. Most of the media are just carnival barkers.
So much fun that we get to watch this wonderful new administration unfold - it's a great time to be alive!
You've given us so many great Cabinet picks from which to choose - sort of like eenie, meanie, miney, moe!
"Liars Hall of Fame 2024 nominees: Tim Walz just added 'Vice President' to his resume."
Drain the swamp. And I have a front row seat! “Oh boy, This is gonna be great” to quote Flounder.
Brit Hume’s thought about a mandate is kinda squishy: ‘The president would be wise to ignore the talk from his supporters about what an enormous mandate he has and what a great landslide he won, because thinking that can lead to trouble, However, following through with his promise of mass deportation would be an appropriate reading of Trump’s mandate, given how clear the president-elect was on his goal. Particularly on the deportation of illegal migrants, I think it’s fair to say he has authority to do that, and the voters understood that that’s one of the things he said he was going to do, and he never backed away from. If he moves ahead with that, I don’t think it’s an overreading of his authority, or his mandate.”
I used to like and respect Brit Hume but he is a dinosaur now, possibly a fossil in the rock of media history. His brand of "conservatism" hails back to George W Bush.
Those days are over. Hume's days are over. Of course, Fox's days are over too.
"Liars Hall of Fame 2024 nominees: Tim Walz just added 'Vice President' to his resume."
Remember what Bannon said: “Fox News is television for stupid people.” No one should pay attention to anything they say. Exceptions only when Fox personalities are off their chain appearing in other outlets ie Dan Bongino, Pete Hegseth. Gutfield & Co. are in a different category.
Lead to what trouble? Another JFK style assassination attempt by the Deep State? Think he is well aware...
Who is Brit Hume? 😂
Back in the day, he was somebody @Fox-R U old enough to be asking these Q's?😁❤️🤢🤣😕😢😿
Time to come clean ? A bit of sarcasm. I am in my 8th decade. Ceased watching Fox when the Bier dude called AZ for Biden in 2020.
Hume: The combination of Murdoch and the man he picked to run Fox News, Roger Ailes, who had come from politics and CNBC, cinched the deal." Failure is not an option with him," he said of Ailes. Did Brit change on his own? Or did the new Murdoch generation change him? May I call you Octo?
I'm seeing the trailer for the Angel movie release called Bonhoeffer on several sites I visit and am intrigued to know the bigger story of his life. On first glance, I am struck with the notion that the scenes depicted in the rise of Nazi power, and the opposition to it, are playing out in a slightly different (but parallel) form in this election of 2024.
Matt Gaetz is a soldier in the Bonhoeffer resistance, this time led by DJT. We are fighting an enemy just as evil and more deeply ingrown and difficult to overcome. We need independent, strong fighters like Gaetz and Hegseth..
The trailer (I have no financial interest): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WZM90izJ8sI
“If I sit next to a madman as he drives a car into a group of innocent bystanders, I can't, as a Christian, simply wait for the catastrophe, then comfort the wounded and bury the dead.
I must try to wrestle the steering wheel out of the hands of the driver.”
~ Dietrich Bonhoeffer
Fascinating-a bit more cut&paste-Dietrich Bonhoeffer, a German theologian, is a Christian hero for many. Executed by the Nazis just days before the end of WWII for his participation in a plot to assassinate Hitler, Bonhoeffer is hailed as a 20th-century martyr. But Bonhoeffer struggled with a moral dilemma – his religious views were in stark contrast to the evil he saw all around him. He chose to face possible imprisonment and execution and to remain faithful to the principles of his belief in God. Across the political and theological spectrum, Bonhoeffer is celebrated as an icon of true Christianity and his theological writings are classics throughout the Christian world.
Thank you for the excellent summary. I fear we are facing a threat as big as the one Bonhoeffer died for. I am certain Donald Trump felt that threat on July 13. Likewise, his cabinet nominees probably feel a similar threat today.
Nelson Mandela once said: “I learned that courage was not the absence of fear, but the triumph over it. The brave man is not he who does not feel afraid, but he who conquers that fear.” (Source: LinkedIn)
I will be going to see this new Bonhoeffer movie Thanksgiving weekend.
Please share your opinion❤️

🙄 the “man” has no shame.
I should add that the two MLB Managers of the Year were the two managers that, at the start of the year, I had dismissed as the worst hires.
They kept winning. I remained patient, and also kept the faith that the Braves and the Dodgers would not make the playoffs.
Faith and Patience gets you nowhere.
Imagine if somehow he had become president...
