In an effort to keep the Daily Open Thread a little more open topic we are going to start a new daily thread for “Presidential Politics”. Please use this thread to post anything relating to the JoeBama Administration and Presidency.
“This is no small thing, to restore a republic after it has fallen into corruption. I have studied history for years and I cannot recall it ever happening. It may be that our task is impossible. Yet, if we do not try then how will we know it can’t be done? And if we do not try, it most certainly won’t be done. The Founders’ Republic, and the larger war for western civilization, will be lost.”
“But I tell you this: We will not go gently into that bloody collectivist good night. Indeed, we will make with our defiance such a sound as ALL history from that day forward will be forced to note, even if they despise us in the writing of it.”
This thread will refresh daily and appear above the Open Discussion Thread.
Whenever the possibility presents, throw sand into the machinery…

Good article from Z-man about the welcome given to the Ukranian dictator:
https://thezman.com/wordpress/?p=28908
FTA:
What made the spectacle grotesque was the fawning over this belligerent midget by the regime leaders. It was a vulgar display of the disconnect that now exists between the regime and the people. Mitch McConnell came out and said that his number one priority, to the exclusion of all else, is shoveling untold billions into the rat hole that is the war in Ukraine. Imagine being a guy struggling to pay his rent in Kentucky having to listen to that lecture.
Am wondering about other Treepers nation wide….
Are you getting TV commercials for Black Rock, touting their investment in American’s retirement funds etc?
I have seen about three in the last few days, that I am aware of, a marketing campaign that has the flavor of an RDS type commercial….
They’ve been running here for about 3 weeks (northern Va.) Touting themselves as hero’s and the best thing for America
Their marketing folks must smell the brand damage.
At least one every night.
Haven’t seen any in N. FL.
I dont watch “tv”
Yes – seems for several weeks.
Yep – Bucks County, PA.
How can a State Stop the IRS from going into a Bank Account and taking money from it?
if this isnt possible – learn to kneel or fight early.
more importantly – what state will be brave enough to actually do so?
The IRS went after my brother and a Local Tax group who were exposing the local Democrat crime cartel. My brother was doing the same thing. Intimidation tactics, both cases failed. The Democrats called their IRS to sick on them
And there is no paper work or warrant.
they just go in and take it. You cant defeat an enemy that can take your money at will.
I do not know the answer to your question, but agreed that “it isn’t possible” , unequivocally, should not be the answer.
As a tax professional, I will tell you this – and you may already know this – the States and the IRS work together.
If you owe back taxes to your State or are behind on child support for example, your State will go through the IRS to have your Federal refund confiscated.
Likewise, the IRS will go through your State to confiscate your State refund to pay Fed taxes owed or to apply to Federal student loans in default as another example.
Intercepting a tax refund is not quite the same as going directly into a bank account and seizing funds I know, but it’s a similar premise and shows the coordination between the IRS and some or most, if not all States.
Breaking this cozy relationship will take some major doing!
Zelensky has the DeSantis/Cruz ‘photo stance’.
https://gab.com/SteveDeace/posts/109557956082532681
Absolute codswallop and a truly low blow.
This childish comment, IMHO, deserves to be deep-sixed.
Admin?
I disagree that it is a childish comment. Besides Zelensky’s stance, I instead look at the RINO traitors he is standing with.
To each his own, but it compares a murdering, authoritarian, who’s sending his people cheerfully to their deaths and raking in the cash, to someone who has been an absolutely stellar Florida Governor.
If you really think that’s fair, not childish and disgusting, then that tells us a lot.
did he just not do crazy dem stuff?
Expound. I’m all ears.
thats what im saying – is his accomplishment that he did not do what crazy dem governors did ?
as in thats it?
The bar is really really low nowadays
A few of us have had some bones to pick with our “stellar” Governor, mainly the Suncoast Parkway extensions and the never ending stream of illegals and hard dope. Voting machines and BS voter rolls, the Groomers at disney and property insurance to name a few.
And a total lack of spine when it comes to standing with the soon to be no longer Republican Base
Wow, touchy touchy.
Actually, I’ve been wondering about that stance and what it means. I finally figured out it is designed to make one look more powerful. It’s the stance, actually the natural stance, of weight lifters, guys with lots of muscles on their arms and chest because they have so many muscles they almost have to hold their arms that way.
I think DeSantis is purposely trying to look more powerful and the Z guy is doing it for the same reasons. So what?
DeSanctimonious is being funded by liberal globalists (Ken Griffen et al) and is the establishments choice to run against Trump per Sundance. Absolutely stellar he’s not.
Please, really?
I see wrinkled old people with Zelensky… not the other two.
Little man syndrome
get ready to protest the jan 2024 steal locally – make it the bundy ranch stand off in 160 counties (Red States priority).

Euthanasia for the vaxxed or Covid – recovered only.

Not sure how that’s a “punishment” exactly , but….OK.

I want to hear some news about youth in Asia euthanasia.
A certain German Organization lead by a Mustachoed fellow 80 Years ago had a similiar idea of punishing people who didn’t comply with governmental dictates.
But don’t modern Germans say they’ve “evolved” beyond such measures repeatedly in the recent past as they sneered at the USA?
Funny that.
Thus proving that clown world has come full circle…
Those members who did not clap sufficiently enthusiastically over the great democratic leader from Ukraine in the House will need to be disciplined.

https://lidblog.com/hey-fbi-we-are-not-conspiracy-theorists-you-are-the-insurrectionists/
FTA “The FBI responded to the release of the Twitter files in the most unprofessional manner possible: they called anyone who believed them “conspiracy theorists trying to discredit the Bureau.” Actually, the FBI discredited themselves with no help from any of us.
In other words, the FBI has a long-standing practice of interfering in elections and first amendment protections by “advising” companies of things they feel are dangerous. And it wasn’t just Twitter – Facebook already acknowledged their interference, which means other companies were also targeted. Instagram, YouTube, and how many others?
The arrogance of the FBI’s response and its duplicity and malfeasance is not a surprise! Especially today with all the funding they will be getting next year in the omnibus bill that passed today!! The Republicans just funded the current direction of the FBI so much for changing the direction of the FBI it was all bullsh*t!!! Nauseating all of it!!!
Tucker talking to Gregg Abbott last night had to have been the most frustrating conversation ever. That governor is a FOOL. Rather who does he think he’s kidding?
Not a fool, a tool – a globalist tool managed by the Bush clan.

Yes!!!

Establish the predicate for Nuremberg trials for the unconscionable crimes against humanity.
The format for the grand jury has already been produced in Germany. They are ready to go to press.
I realize it is very popular in here to throw those two terms around (Nuremburg, and crimes against humanity) as if they could ever be applied to what this grand jury will be investigating … but they can’t be applied, because:
1.) To be a “Nuremburg” trial, the defendants have to have been in service to an enemy NATION during a military conflict with the US. There’s no such condition present here. This is about drug companies who might have made unlawful PROFITS and/or increased risks toward people by lying about product safety. It all comes under fraud, medical malpractice laws and FDA regulations. The penalties include possible product recalls, fines and/or imprisonment, but not capital punishment.
2.) Crimes against humanity is (regrettably) not part of US law at all, and you can’t establish a grand jury to investigate possible violations of laws that do not currently exist in the US. CAH is INTERNATIONAL criminal law, adjudicated by a court located in The Hague, to which the US is not even a signatory. The only body located in the US that could possibly REFER (not charge or try) parties with crimes against humanity is the United Nations.
Sorry to pour cold water on your legal theory, Kat. The topic has come up in this forum so many times previously that at least my explanations are getting shorter. To win in court, you have to charge under laws we have, or can apply. Here’s the “deep dive”, in case you might want it:

Religious press sites are carrying Archbishop Carlo Vigano’s essay wondering what President Trump was thinking by hosting an alphabet-soup party for homosexuals:
https://remnantnewspaper.com/web/index.php/headline-news-around-the-world/item/6298-declaration-of-archbishop-carlo-maria-vigano-regarding-the-recent-gala-at-mar-a-lago
Archbishop Vigano has been a relentless opponent of homosexual clerics and of those in the hierarchy hiding and protecting them during scandals, along with opposing the “normalization agenda” of the Communists in an effort to destroy marriage and the traditional family.
He also opposes practically everything done by the possible false pope Bergoglio. The “gala” has dismayed him:
“…it is now evident that the action of the deep state has contaminated the entire political elite without distinction, even involving Donald Trump, who up until now seemed to be a source of hope for the future of the United States.…”

OK….They passed the Omnibus Bill with 18 Republican Senators. Some of those senators are retiring, but some of the 18 are up for election in 2024. So who or what organization is going to go after them with a MAGA primary candidate. The time is now so we can donate and help to get these traitors out of office and not elected for another six years.
“The time is now ”
Mark41, you have that right. The people in the state with the RINO senator need to recruit a replacement to run in the primary. The rest of MAGA will start raising the funds to run against the RINO. President Trump will interview the candidate and endorse him.
Very surprised that Tillis did not vote for it. I am sure he will go to bat for Brandon soon enough.

….” Arizona Gov. Doug Ducey, a Republican, agreed on Wednesday to take down a makeshift border wall and halt construction in a settlement with the Department of Justice, according to a court filing.

The suit argued that the installations occurred illegally on federal land.”…….
Seems like the Federal Boundaries encroach really far onto the US Mainland. Maybe that could be changed. Cuz this is nuts.

“We should be unfaithful to ourselves if we should ever lose sight of the danger to our Liberties if anything partial or extraneous should infect the purity of our free, fair, virtuous, and independent elections.’
If an election is to be determined by a majority of a single vote, and that can be procured by a party through artifice or corruption, the Government may be the choice of a party for its own ends, not of the nation for the national good.”

KARI LAKE TRIAL: Katie Hobbs’ lawyer goes on bizarre rant during closing argument arguing it’s political malpractice to tell voters to vote on Election Day and not vote early
Says Americans choose their own “rulers”
Says you can’t go contest an election in court after results
Video linked in tweet…
Yet, its Arizona state law that an election needs to be certified,
before the supposed results can be contested.
Now, listen again to the catch 22 argument that the hob lawyer makes to the judge.
It’s huge only if the election is voided and a new election is held period! Nothing else will do.

Just listened to much of attorney Robert Gouveia’s analysis of the second day of the Kari Lake trial. He was very disappointed in the cross-examination by her attorney with Scott Jarrett, Co-Director of Elections where he didn’t drill down to get a specific names or names of technicians who worked on the tabulators, when they worked on them, any records of what they did, etc. It was a HUGE mistake given the judge made it a requirement to identify those who were guilty of malfeasance. It was an extraordinarily-high standard; Lake’s team did not meet it in Gouveia’s opinion. He does not think Lake has a good chance of winning the case despite the sealed affidavits submitted to the court that may help a bit. And Gouveia gives even less chance for appeal. Sorry to be a downer here (don’t shoot the messenger)!
https://rumble.com/v21y8mu-kari-lake-trial-day-2-full-recap.html (over 2 hrs but can skip to last 25 min for conclusions)
I understand his points, but also realize this trial was put on a very tight 2 day schedule by the judge.
Several witnesses were not presented by Kari’s lawyers due to the time constraints.
The judge seemed fair, but I fear this may be an “appeasement” trial to quell the resistance. But I really, really want to see the Maricopa election re-done!
There really wasn’t much chance anyway if she loses. The election was hers, she won, as did the other repubs. However, when the courts are compromised you can bring as many lawsuits as you want with legit evidence and you won’t win.
We all have seen it happen numerous times since Obama showed up. It’s just more flagrant now because they never lose so they just keep going, laughing all the way probably at the fools who think their votes count.
The courts should be the level playing field where real evidence counts. We don’t have that anymore. Lake couldn’t overcome the steal and once those votes are counted and then certified, overturning it all is pretty much impossible. The peo0le in AZ should be out in droves protesting what was done to them in this election. Instead, they have already moved on for the most part. Too late and too little being done.
But our U.S. politicians are worse for willingly handing the $$$ over.
Just like we did w/ China, etc. His father understood this concept.
ie. It’s not their fault for asking, it’s our fault for giving what they ask for.
Mitt Romney cheerfully explains why he voted to pass the omnibus bill. And I mean cheerfully.
Part of the reason is because he was afraid the new House Repubs would have made it worse. Disgusting.
I’ve been silently wondering if the rino senate just doesn’t want to work with the new House Repubs because they know the AF/Maga representatives have grown in numbers. Mtg said there will be about 100 of them now.
