Nikki Haley confirmed; gee, no surprise here. Pay attention to the trend, it’s GOPe transparent. UniParty defenders Mitch McConnell and John Cornyn are only working on confirmations for GOPe (UniParty) preferred candidates.
[…] Haley, the governor of South Carolina and a rising GOP star, was approved with wide bipartisan support, 96-4. (link)
The transparency within McConnell’s Machiavellian scheme is brutally obvious with Lisa Murkowski simultaneously slow-rolling Rick Perry for Energy Secretary. Follow these Senatorial historic names folks, they are all entrenched operatives of the UniParty working earnestly in an almost predictable fashion.
Remember, it was only last year when Nikki Haley delivered the rebuttal speech to the President Obama State of the Union and castigated candidate Trump, Don’t forget it was Mitch McConnell and Paul Ryan who commissioned and approved of that rebuttal, then handed it to Haley to rehearse and deliver.
The enemy is NOT just Chuck Schumer, the real enemy is the entire UniParty apparatus which includes the GOPe swamp protection crew. President Trump is an existential threat to the GOPe just as much as President Trump is an adversary to the visible democrats. The GOPe just scheme it behind closed door.
[…] The Senate Commerce Committee easily cleared businessman Wilbur Ross to be secretary of commerce and Elaine Chao to be secretary of transportation. The Senate Banking Committee cleared Dr. Ben Carson to be secretary of housing and urban development. (link)
But where’s their vote Mitch?
[…] Aides in both parties were tight-lipped for hours about why Energy Committee Chairman Lisa Murkowski of Alaska and ranking Democrat Maria Cantwell of Washington called off the committee votes for energy secretary nominee Rick Perry and interior secretary Ryan Zinke. (link)
Oh, that would be Senator Lisa Murkowski of Alaska who LOST her primary to a republican challenger Joe Miller in 2010 and yet she ran in the general election as a “write in” and returned to the swamp without losing any seniority or committee status. Oh, sure McConnell and Cornyn said they would strip her of her committee position because she defied the will of the electorate – BUT THEY NEVER DID.
Does that pattern ring a bell? It should, it repeated in 2014 when Senator Thad Cochran lost his primary to Chris McDaniel in Mississippi – and the same GOPe swamp leadership came to Cochran’s defense and assistance and paid Democrats to support the incumbent in a constructed and manipulated republican primary runoff. The Swamp Dwellers have a history of protecting the swamp.
Oh, but Murkowski just had a ‘miscommunication‘ or something, right Mitch?
Those who do not learn from HISTORY – are doomed to repeat it. We have been fighting these lying bastards for over ten consecutive years. So many people just don’t understand how this Machiavellian crew operates.
Nothing is what it appears to be.
Everything these Swamp Creatures do is UniParty constructed political lies and schemes. All of it. Every Bit. Almost everything is exactly the opposite of what it appears to be.
It is so hard to teach people what’s really going on behind the scenes in the deep layers of the corporate funded swamp. This is why so many people are falling for the DACA controversy. Just like in all other instances, the professional political swamp protection committee are using their GOPe media agents and psy-ops very effectively – and people are falling for it…
I love it!

I’m actually pretty impressed he got his two top priorities so quickly (Kelly and Mattis). He must have busted some heads. Then Brennan behaved so inexcusably that they had no choice but to push Pompeo. That and Trump’s brief at the CIA made the optics really bad.
I was kinda guessing Haley was the tit for tat for those 3. But I don’t know much.
If they have sense, they’ll do Mnuchin soon. And maybe Tillerson. If there’s a crisis at one of the agencies, and Congress is slow-rolling the appointment for that agency, imagine the consequences. It would be a $…storm. My guess is those two will be done soon because of the risk of that happening.
We shall see. I also think Sessions and DeVos will be pretty late in the game. Maybe even last. Just my guesses, I’ll be watching and interested to see how it plays out. I don’t think I’ve ever seen so many people interested in the political process or aware of who all these people are than we are seeing now. It’s actually pretty awesome.

Respectable Senator Tillis,
We’ve been following your week under our beloved President Trump and are concerned that you are not supporting immigration as presented by our new president and We The People. We want the exact plan that President Trump has promised us and it is also the plan that earned you our votes. We are weary beyond all tolerance of the notion of “working with the dems” and including some of their policies in the plan. As you probably know, we call them The Gang of Eight and we see exactly what is happening in Washington and watch every vote cast. You may notice that this year, our county, Madison, went Bright Red for the first time in years. It voted that way because of the tireless work we invested and we insist that you support President Trump’s immigration guidelines explicitly and without argument, new ideas or delays. His plan is the one we want and we truly don’t care about being flexible in the least. We are paying daily attention to all that is happening in The Swamp and expect you and all other Republicans to perform accordingly and with gusto.
Thanks for the time,
Victoria Wood

“Those who do not learn from HISTORY – are doomed to repeat it. We have been fighting these lying bastards for over ten consecutive years. So many people just don’t understand how this Machiavellian crew operates”. This is such a profound statement.
President Trump, I believe is aware of how the UniParty operates and who is a part of it. He will eventually drain the swamp of all of the Lawmakers who are trying to hold onto power, but for now, he must walk softly. He established a foundation of strength during the transition to POTUS, and I believe the UniParty is very afraid of him. They are trying to hold on, but eventually POTUS will get them…..HE IS A LION! He is shrewd, and I will always believe he is operating on the principals in his book, The Art of the Deal.
Bannon is just as shrewd as POTUS. He is closer to him than the Chief of Staff (who is a part of the UniParty). Bannon has his back and will not let any snakes slither into the White House to do harm to our America First agenda.
Nikki Haley is the queen of the UniParty and she will “try” to do their bidding, but will fail. She has to do what POTUS wants or she will be fired.

I missed that interview.. and have heard that they all will be confirmed eventually from different sources.., but yes it does appear to me these confirmation hold-ups are all part of the Uniparty cooperation..oh the RINOs will point fingers at the DIMs and howl obstruction,

DIMs are simply playing their reciprocal ,Uniparty part.. they will play their part and howl too of course..but they have no power by themselves.. only in UNISON with the RINOs can a chorus be heard , or make a difference.
So it’s off to some phoney RINO retreat, where the REAL obstructionist RINO pearl clutchers will meet for some hand wringing , strategising to determine which one of them will be trotted out in front of the bought and paid for MSM to pronounce the BS,.. “horrors” that will insue following a Trump cabinet confirmation .. more masks to fall..

And Trump’s response to this strategy: Look at what he has done with the EPA. Freeze all agency grants and contracts. Hiring freeze. Agency wide media blackout. Agency wide social-media ban.
If Congress slow-walks his nominees, Trump will effectively shut down their agencies. And Trump holds all the cards. Thousands of agency workers sitting around doing nothing and waiting? How about sending them home. Unpaid leave. If they sit around waiting for too long, well maybe their jobs aren’t really that important.
And here is my guilty little dream. Once immigration enforcement begins in earnest, it’s going to take a lot of clerical workers to process all those deportations. Instead of laying off all those starry-eyed snowflake social justice warriors infesting the government, Trump reassigns them to INS and puts them to work processing deportation paperwork. And if they don’t like it they can resign and go work in the private sector.

In keeping with the theme of Draining the Swamp and trying to restore the citizen’s confidence in our representatives, it would be fun to watch the stepping and fetching if President Trump announced an initiative of in-depth comprehensive “audits” of members of congress, starting with the leadership, to check for compliance with the ethics, financial reporting and income tax reporting requirements for the members of both houses of congress. Most interesting would be the results of a good old fashioned IRS administered Net Worth Analysis which tests for unreported income.
