The Decepticon snake rears its ugly head once again as a recent report indicates the Senate will not confirm President Trump’s nominees for Ambassador to Afghanistan and Germany. Nothing within the Senate happens without Mitch McConnell directing it.
According to sources cited by the Washington Free Beacon the Senate Foreign Relations Committee, a hotbed for Decepticon payments by foreign governments, will not take up the nominations of retired U.S Army Colonel Douglas Macgregor (Germany) or U.S. Navy reserve officer William Ruger (Afghanistan) because they do not hold the correct and appropriate thinking of the republican controlled Senate.
[…] “The administration has sent the Senate three foreign policy nominees with no chance of clearing the Senate, which has to be some form of Guinness World Record for incompetent congressional relations,” said one senior GOP congressional official, citing opposition to Ruger, Macgregor, and Anthony Tata, who was recently tapped to become the Pentagon’s number two spot.

This is not a surprise. As CTH has noted since the republicans took control over the senate in 2014, the upper chamber is opposed to anything President Trump supports. In the final analysis this is a large part of the reason why the republican led Senate Intel Committee was used as part of the usurpation effort.
The Senate Foreign Relations Committee is full of McConnell’s apparatchiks, and each carries an assignment to resist the Trump administration effort. Control over the committee assignments is one way Mitch McConnell retains his grip on power and carries out the objectives of his allies on Wall Street and the administrative state. We noted this power dynamic when McConnell assigned Mitt Romney to the committee.
A predictable assignment for a Decepticon tool placed to protect the interests of the multinationals. A committee position on the Senate Foreign Relations Committee ensures that Mittens can prosper from the indulgences of foreign lobbying efforts.
This institutional behavior is very predictable; but first you have to admit the severity of the problem. A reminder from two years ago:
CTH JANUARY 2019 – […] A pattern of political stories are beginning to show signs of a common continuity. In the bigger of the big pictures seven words continue to set the baseline: “There are trillions of dollars at stake”.
When the common sense Tea Party movement formed in 2009 and 2010 it contained a monumentally frustrated grassroots electorate, and the scale of the movement caught the professional republican party off-guard. When Donald Trump ran for the office of the presidency he essentially did the same thing; he disrupted the apparatus of the professional republican party.
The difference between those two examples is one was from the bottom up, and the second was from the top down. However, the commonality in the two forces resulted in the 2016 victory.
It took a few years for the heavily armored old guard of GOP to formulate a plan to retain their control. In the example of the Tea Party, the republican power structures moved in 2011 through 2014 to co-opt the vulgarian movement and impede their disruptive influence. Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell was at the forefront of those power moves. {Go Deep} and {Go Deep} The basic issue for the GOP was retention of power.
McConnell and crew tamped down the fire. A few years pass and the issues that spurred the Tea Party movement remained unresolved. In 2015 Donald Trump taps in to that exact same Tea Party frustration toward the control authority within one-half of the DC UniParty; again, the professional republican apparatus was disrupted.
From the first moment candidate Trump announced his platform positions; from the very first poll *after* those platform positions were announced; Donald Trump was leading the republican field in every-single-poll from August of 2015 through today. Center stage throughout 2015 and 2016 and President of the United States as an outcome therein.
Yes, the “movement” rebranded and now MAGA wins the presidency.
So it should not come as a surprise to see an eerily similar response from within the GOP toward the new threat; the Trump presidency.
There are two constants in an ever changing universe: (1) “NeverTrump” didn’t go away; and (2) the Bush-clan, or GOP old guard, will never accept losing power.
The professional republicans and the professional democrats, ie. “the uniparty”, have a common enemy in President Trump.
The vulgarian leader of the deplorable coalition never asked for permission; never paid the indulgency fees; never attended the necessary cloistered club meetings paying homage; and never offered the indulgent team of political elites terms for his takeover.
Thus Donald Trump, just like the Tea Party, would never be accepted.
Why is this important now?
Current events highlight the resurgence of a never disassembled GOP Bush clan influence. For the past two years it’s been a never-ending game of whac-a-mole as each of the establishment minded embeds surfaces at different times. Within the dynamic, the one commonality within the internecine conflict inside the Trump administration is the establishment GOP -vs- Trump MAGA.
Establishment GOP consultant Alex Castellanos was very open about the best design to getting rid of Donald Trump back in 2015 when he discussed an almost identical strategy for how Mitch McConnell destroyed the threat from the Tea Party a year earlier:
[…] “The best way to do it is how Brutus killed Caesar. Get real close, snuggle up, and shiv him in the ribs”… (link)
Forgive me for mixing my metaphors here; but as each of the shiv-bearers appears, that’s when Trump is forced to deliver the whac-a-mole hammer. It’s like having an administration filled with establishment terror cells. Each cell acts independently, but each cell also acts based on a common objective: retain the UniParty.
The earlier whac-a-mole example was Condi Rice’s embed plant and former Secretary of State Rex Tillerson popping his head up. But there are many more examples all around in various forms; including the self-serving GOP exit of U.N. Ambassador Nikki Haley; and now we see Mitt Romney.
When you think about the actual structure of the Republican state party machines; it’s enough to make you wonder if the mid-term outcome and lack of structural fight was not part of this dynamic. After all, “their” party was taken over by a new MAGA base and a new pragmatic political leader, Donald Trump.
The same UniParty dynamic is visible in the way the FBI/DOJ and aggregate intelligence community were weaponized against Donald Trump – with Democrats and Republicans participating in the unlawful processes. Now, in the downstream consequence phase, we see a UniParty defense approach to block Trump from revealing what happened.
I’m not sure people fully completely understand this dynamic within “spygate”. It was not a targeting operation by democrats; republicans were just as complicit. The ongoing goal to eliminate candidate and president Trump is *not* partisan.
Which brings me to the current state of the advisers around the executive. Remember, there are trillions at stake here – and the downstream benefactors are both Republicans and Democrats who make up the UniParty.
Within the UniParty dynamic, in order to retain full financial benefit, the political class need to align with Wall Street priorities. That alignment means the UniParty needs to eliminate Main Street priorities that are adverse to their interests.
Border controls and immigration enforcement are adverse interests to the UniParty. Additional cross party alignment to benefit Wall Street surrounds: •budgets and massive government spending; •government controlled healthcare retention; •government controlled education (common core); •and most importantly the removal of any national economic and trade policy that would threaten the structure of the multinationals.
On all of these issues the Democrats and Republicans have identical outlooks, common interests and mirrored legislative priorities. It is not coincidental that US Chamber of Commerce President Tom Dohonue also outlined these issues as primary priorities for his massive lobbyist spending.
There are trillions of dollars at stake; and we must never discount how far the Big Club participants will go to ensure the White House counselors are shaping their advice toward those objectives.
There are no MAGA lobbying groups in Washington DC advocating for policies that benefit economic nationalism. On this objective President Donald Trump stands alone.
We don’t need a third party in Washington DC, we actually need a second one.
It cannot be overstated how violent and confrontational the House of Representatives will be as soon as they are sworn in. They will work with an immediate purposeful intention. All political violence will be approved to attain their objectives. The recent behavior of Jim Acosta (CNN media), and ANTIFA toward Tucker Carlson, is now, and will be going forward, the new normal.
There will be extreme political violence.
In 2006 it was the SEIU and AFSCME union foot-soldiers who smashed windows, advanced upon polling places and engaged in the most severe examples of voter fraud and intimidation. In 2018, with the help of uber-Alinsky DNC Chairman Tom Perez, that corrupt sentiment is now institutionalized within democrat-socialist political apparatus. ANTIFA is now the DNC grassroots activist approach.
Failing to accept the severity of this shift in the past decade is intellectually dishonest. As Nancy Pelosi said of the Occupy Wall Street violent anarchists: “God bless these people.” Indeed the OWS precursor to ANTIFA were laying the groundwork for the new severity of power in Democrat leadership. Nothing is out-of-bounds; no level of corrupt behavior will be avoided; everything will happen openly and without any backlash from a compliant media apparatus; the social fabric will be shredded.
The Democrat mantra: “never let a crisis go to waste” is the modern version of the Fabian-Socialist: “remould it closer to the heart’s desire“. Both approaches rely upon the destruction of acceptable norms in order to advance the political objective.
♦Specifics: When Democrats last took power in January 2007, Nancy Pelosi and Steny Hoyer took control in the final two years of George Bush second term. Immediately they set about a process laying the groundwork for the 2008 presidential election of Barack Obama. This was a priority objective.
One of the techniques was the removal of the budget process. By eliminating the federal budget process in 2007 (fiscal year ’08) the Democrats paved the way for the next democrat president to demand massive open-ended spending.
By the time the year of the general election came around (2008), the lengthy budget process was replaced with Omnibus spending bills (fiscal year 2009). Obviously when Obama was successfully installed in November of 2008, the useful crisis was financial. The subsequent TARP bailout, auto bailout, ARRA ($1 trillion stimulus) and QE1 were all accomplished with massive omnibus spending packages.
[NOTE: These are important references because from that moment forward, despite the GOP taking back control in January 2011, the constraining budgetary process was forever destroyed. There was never regular-order budgetary spending again.]
It is also critical to emphasize the difference between Democrats taking control in the last two years of Bush’s second term, and Democrats taking control in the last two years of Trump’s first term. Within this difference you will predictably see a shift in strategic operations from the Marxists.
George W Bush was exiting, and unlimited spending was used to empower the entry of Obama; however, now the Marxists need to knee-cap President Trump by weaponizing the power of the purse – the biggest weapon of the House of Representatives.
After a ten year UniParty hiatus the Marxists will now go back to using budgets in the structural defunding and dismantling of ICE (Immigration and Customs Enforcement), the Southern Border Wall, and any program, initiative, policy or institution the Marxists want to see removed. This is a strategy of the Democrat crisis-makers; and they are exceptionally better at achieving their desired results than Republicans.
When it comes to political weaponization and political power constructs the Marxists have exceptional work ethics; they will outwork anyone on the other side who opposes them. They are far, far, better at political strategy and scheme than conservative politicians. Part of the reason for their success is that crooks, cons and swindlers are far more cunning than honorable, virtuous and moral people. It is unfortunate, but true; and the same truth applies beyond politics.
♦ Two other thoughts on this issue. First, you might remember when this massive spending, and the government takeover of healthcare, led to the Marxists losing the 2010 midterm election in a massive defeat. But do you remember what the democrats did in the lame-duck congress between November 2010 and January 2011?
Does the term “Porkulous” ring a bell?
While 63 democrat seats were lost in the November 2010 election (and six democrat senate seats), those exiting Marxists, despite just having suffered the worst defeat in almost 100 years, audaciously –and apologetically– voted in the December 2010 lame-duck session, to fully fund President Obama’s next two years in office. This was done by Speaker Nancy Pelosi specifically to block the incoming GOP wave from upending the priorities of the Obama administration in 2011. That was called the “Porkulous” spending bill; and the democrat-marxists didn’t give a snit about how it looked.
Now, did Speaker Paul Ryan or Senate Leader Mitch McConnell do anything as bold to fund and secure the budgetary priorities of President Donald Trump in the 2018 lame-duck?
No?
Think about the overall unilateral commitment and cunning historically displayed by the Marxist wing of the UniParty. They are so committed to the long-term view they are willing to sacrifice anything for the biggest, most consequential, advances toward their objectives. In 2010 the democrats killed their own “blue-dog” coalition to advance their ideological goals.
Within the 63 House seats the Marxists lost in that 2010 midterm election; they killed off the entire 40 member Bart Stupak coalition; the blue-dog caucus. Totally willing to sacrifice 40 seats to attain a generational ideological objective (ObamaCare); and they are about to step back into power a mere eight years later. Stunning when you think about it.
Few people have any idea just how bad these next two years are going to be. We are the normal people who don’t spend every moment of our day scheming, conniving, and developing plans to dismantle the lives of your freedom loving community and rebuild it as a collective society.
For these political beneficiaries of Wall Street lobbying that’s all they do. Every moment of their existence they spend thinking about how to gain power and dominate, 24/7/365 that is all they do.
That is all the ever talk about; that is all they ever converse with each-other about. Every second of every moment, in every meeting, is consumed with plots, plans and strategies for indulging themselves, gaining wealth and growing power at all costs. (outline from January 2019)
As you can see in hindsight, this UniParty resistance effort was all very predictable.
Ffffip. Screw Germany and Afganistan. President Trump will work something out. He always does. He can always appoint an acting jack- or jill. This is not a crisis. Nothing any of us can do about Mitch except bitch. That’s up to the people of Kentucky.
Time for President Trump to play “money ball”. There must be a chain of command at the embassies. Start firing next in charge until you get someone you want in that position that will work with you. Do not change your desired appointment personnel and tell McConnell you can play this game all day. Get with the MAGA movement. I believe the “acting” is in charge until a new ambassador is approved.
It would also be a good way to start cleaning out State personnel.
Something doesn’t add up. When playing money ball, especially with Mitch McConnell, one would think the removal of his wife from Transportation Secretary would be move number one for Trump.
No…Panda happy face
speaking of money, imo the money line in the above is: We don’t need a third party in Washington DC, we actually need a second one.
Trump has shown no inclination to play hardball with Mitch in this way.
The President knows he would lose that match, every time.
Unfortunately, he needs Mitch to blunt another impeachment from the House. If Republicans retake the House, President Trump can get more aggressive knowing his flank is covered.
The President knows who he can trust. None of McConnell’s henchmen mentioned in an article by Sundance last month spoke at the convention. McConnell only spoke from a remote location.
It was interesting Barr-zini did not speak but Giuliani did. In fact, during his acceptance speech, President Trump pointed to Giuliani and gave him high praise. Let’s pray that Trump wins in a landslide and replaces the do nothing Barr-zini with someone like Giuliani.
Been saying this since Keebler’s recusal. Move MAGA people into deputy positions, then start cleaning from the top until they are the mandatory acting whatever. Wish PDJT had gotten the word a long time ago.
“It cannot be overstated how violent and confrontational the House of Representatives will be as soon as they are sworn in. They will work with an immediate purposeful intention.

Wow, Sundance I do not remember reading such a depressing post. After thinking on it for a while I wonder if you see this political violence also in the street and may lead to civil war? Are there enough real Americans to fight for our country and not roll over to the Marxists? How should we Americans prepare for this, any good ideas? I have never feared losing out country as much as I do today, someone give me some hope please? Holding onto my branch but slipping.
Sundance was urging positivity among us a month ago.
Now?
Even the best of us falter in our hope for the future. I think all the work Sundance put in to assist in prosecuting this nightmare has left all of us a tad heartbroken that all of it was for naught. It is a very sad revelation that your country doesn’t give a damn. They do not represent us, they represent who pays the best.
Do we really know it was for naught?
Was Aldenberg just humoring Sundance the way most of DC humors us?
Humoring, perhaps. But I would imagine Aldenberg (and his superiors) were more than a little curious what Sundance had.
To paraphrase what Sundance said: Now they know what we know. (helps with the spin….)
Regardless of the tone, the words will eventually run out and must be replaced with action.
A month ago, SD appeared to have a significant amount of hope that his expose would be well-received by both genuine political conservatives and the conservative media. It is now clear that neither group has chosen to overtly support him. The increasingly negative tenor of his commentaries is the result.
SD is a pragmatic patriotic, and he does not hesitate to describe reality in clear terms.
We can be positive even as we know what we are up against. Helps to keep us focused and on full alert at all times.
There’s a big difference between a depressing post, and one simply providing fair warning about an ugly reality barreling towards us. It’s sometimes darkest before the dawn. Sundance hugged the tar baby that is Washington DC. He knows more now than he did before. He paid the tuition. Yet his demeanor has stayed steadfast and focused. He’s been pretty clear about where your head space should be for the next couple of months. Stay chill. Keep paying attention. Truth is on our side.
strfkr nailed it as usual. stay uber alert. its all going down in the next 60-90 days.
For some reason Trump played this “not want to prosecute not release the dirt” approach.
it didnt work in the mid terms. maybe it will work in the general presidential.
Truth without action is like a gun without bullets.
Just saying….
I don’t understand your sentiment here. I’m no prophet but have been saying for the better part of a decade folks will need to “pick side”. Not many knew what I meant but they certainly do now. Saving the Republic is not for the faint of heart. Expecting establishment (elected and non-elected) types to turn this around as they are consumed with salvaging their means of control (and perhaps survival) is not logical. We are at war, we’ve been at war with the progressive agenda for the better part of 40 years. Obama exacerbated the vitriol and advanced their agenda, albeit quite stealthily. As PDJT exposed it, it has become violent in message and actions.
Anyone that has studied current events must realize it’s all connected. I am amazed at the number of folks that actually believe PDJT “created” the division. That is a laughable assessment, especially not realizing that when they pummel PDJT they are supporting the very elements they criticize in the US government (greed, crime, incest). I believe people that are generally tuned in are beginning to make the connection…It’s NOT PDJT, it’s what we have tolerated fighting for life.
It’s time to remember all politics is local. Join the fight, hold your local commissioners, mayors school boards etc accountable for everything they do. That IS the front line….IMHO.
The much-ballyhooed “division” is because they won’t come to the right path and help us make America great again
‘division’ my a$$
I’ll be holding my nose and pulling for the Turtle. McGrath is not gonna happen, period….
Thank you. And let’s take the GD House! We want it all!
That is how we got into this mess. The new thinking should be.. McConnell is no better than the Democrate but he is more powerful. As a result he can do more harm to our agenda than the dem.
I love how they quote the “senior gop congressional official” who says its the incompetence of President Trump. Everyone knows its actually the corruption of Mitch Mcconnell
You are right that there is nothing we can do about Mitch. He is also the reason that lightfoot Lindsey is now the committee chairman of the Senate Intelligence Committee. That is why there has been NO investigation by empty suit Graham and Mitch knew that he would accomplish nothing.
Mitch TOLD HIM to do nothing.
Yes, he already has it figured out. He warned the Senate that if they did not go into recess , he has the power to call a recess for them, and will to get his nominees appointed.
Old Mitch needs to be introduced to a tall tree and a short rope. Nothing but SWAMP TRASH.
General idea… qualified yes. Militia arrest, citizen indictment, trial and punishment works for me.
***As long as we keep being “TOLD”:
1 –“You can’t do anything about mitch”
&
2–“…only the ballot box, only the ballot box; vote like your life depends on it”
***Then we will be stagnated and eventually bypassed.
… the other path is ACTUALLY read the constitution and employ the militia for enforcement of constitution and law–and–suppress insurrections [Article 1, section 8, clause 15]: after all the constitution is paper, voting is paper, but the militia is men under arms.
Take an oath
Vote for your officers
Enforce the laws
do something about mitch and the rest of the swamp: decent men of kentucky can have a legal, moral, legitimate impact on mitchy—heck, stop by the voting office WITH mitch in tow and request your absentee vote: bullets and ballots can be in the same room… you me and many others might be away from home protecting innocents from rioters and arsonists while they go to the polls on 3 Nov.
Mike in a Truck: You are pragmatic, so is Trump. When there is nothing you can do to correct the situation (Mitch) just do the best you can and move on.
As a Kentuckian, I am just as frustrated as anyone else with “NeverTrumper” Mitch McConnell sitting in the catbird seat as Senate Majority Leader and throwing up roadblocks to President Trump’s agenda. However, would you prefer Nancy Pelosi’s handpicked replacement for him, Amy McGrath (D) ???
As a Kentuckian, I am just as frustrated with “NeverTrumper” Mitch McConnell undermining the agenda of president Trump as anyone else. However, the alternative is to put Nancy Pelosi’s handpicked candidate, Amy McGrath (D) in his seat. That is a nonstarter.
Yes. Yes I would prefer to have Amy McGrath representing Kentucky over McConnell. He is a wolf in sheep’s clothing and does not have the interest of the country in his heart. He is the brains of the uniparty in the senate and has been working to enrich himself, the uniparty and China at the expense of this country. The man is a liar and a crook and should be in jail. I would rather have an openly acknowledged enemy that I can attack directly instead of a hidden assassin. With his removal the hold the chinese chamber of commerce has on the senate will lessen and hopefully allow more patriotic members to step up and gain control. While he has been good for judicial nominations, the destruction he has caused is far greater than the little good he has done. He needs to be removed. I’d rather the screaming of a lunatic democrat than the underhanded destruction of the country by someone with an R by his name. Get rid of him. Stop the leak first before bailing out the boat.
The GOP holds the Senate by 3 VOTES at present, and some of those 53 total Republicans are “squishy”. Take out McConnell as Majority Leaderand you MAY see the Senate either swing to the Democrats numerically or by practical voting patterns. I shouldn’t need to remind you that Mitch McConnell, with all of his many flaws, is all that stands between US and unfettered power for Nancy Pelosi.

What I cannot seem to get people to understand is that the FISA court is overseen by the Senate Intel Committee – which means, Rubio was running for President while he was also spying on Trump.
Other members at the time included Reid, Feinstein, McCain, Graham, and others who still remain on the committee.
If Trump, and others, want the truth to come to light, then they need to start to speaking the truth. This festering evil serpent of communism is the head of the Senate…
Which means, there is something WE can DO – if only people would start speaking the truth, then it would be done. But if no one is talking about it, then their secret remains just that; secret.
Maybe POTUS needs to have another rally in Kentucky – this time WITHOUT McConnell there!!! I remember Trump’s last rally there, where Mitch was up on the stage with Trump. He looked like a fish out of water with a stunned, stupid smile on his face when Trump raised his arm in celebration..
McConnel and people like him in government are using propaganda/lies. Signed and approved of by Obama. This has effectively allowed any member of the government to lie without repercussions to the American people.
Suggested action. Just like Obama, write and EO to not only reverse this existing act but to write measures into it, that would allow the prosecution, of those that lie to the American people.
I would suggest that it was W and Cheney who gave us the “Patriot Act” that caused the silly legality of lying to the masses to be allowed.
Once a Bill is passed or a law written it stays there forever.
Funny how it was worked out so quickly after 9/11/2001. A lot of technical details already written and ready to go after the attack.
Much of Obamacare had already been written and was sitting on a shelf waiting for the right time. There’s LOTS of pernicious. leftist legislation already written and just waiting for the right “crisis” in order to be passed.
For instance, there is legislation already written for the absorption of 401k retirement accounts into federal coffers to use when the next financial crisis hits. But don’t worry, we’ll all get IOUs from the government. Oh, and yes, SCOTUS will rule it perfectly legal and Constitutional. As we’ve already witnessed, Judge Roberts can make anything “Constitutional”.
It’s important for you to realize that this Law (Smith-Mundt Modernization Act of 2012) is unconstitutional. President Trump writes and EO that forces it to the Supreme Court to resolve or should I say correct.
I think this is what you are looking for.
Fast forward to 2012. Under President Obama, the law was changed with the Smith-Mundt Modernization Act of 2012, an act sponsored by Rep. Mac Thornberry (R- Texas) and Rep. Adam Smith (D- Wash.). The reform was quietly inserted into the 2013 National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA), and effectively nullified the original 1948 act.
Let’s be clear, the original law prohibited U.S. organizations from using state resources, including the intelligence community, to influence public opinion of United States citizens. Obama’s reform to the Smith-Mundt Act allowed the American public to be a target audience of U.S. government-funded information campaigns.

Kirsty: I think that is more than a suggestion. Obama certainly did enough to harm the country, but the best, best friends the Bushes and the Clintons are just as much to blame. The gop was taken over by H W Bush for the globalist benefit and The Patriot Act imposed on us by W Bush is responsible for so much of what we see wrong in government today.
Spending money isn’t “free speech”. In the context of elections, it is, in fact, “buying power”.
We need campaign contributions limited to some small amount per US person, with all foreign money disallowed. Open to persuasion as to why this isn’t right, but there’s too much damned money in politics.
Justin: You can thank Citizens United, a conservative group?? for the massive amounts of money funneled into election campaigns. The gop was certainly in favor of the Supreme Court decisions in 2010 that allowed corporations, labor unions and other organizations to contribute money for “independent” political communications. Citizens United v. FEC.
We’re pretty well surrounded alright, but to borrow a line from Col. Chesty Puller when given that same news, “Great, now we can shoot at those bastards from every direction”. The thing about criminal syndicates, they always fail and it is usually by some carelessness in maintaining the cloak. I have a feeling the “republicans” will fair well in the elections and President Trump will win handily. So, yes the decepticons are still in control…but only for a short time. Their fatal error will be proven to have been their choice to participate in a seditious conspiracy and the lid blowing off that via John Durham’s efforts will rock their world. The best part will be the resignations and the fun part will be the prosecutions…let the games begin.
I may be wrong but I don’t think every Republican running for the House is going to be some yes man for the Democrat agenda. Many are new and say they are on the presidents side. Being new I find it hard to think they are all hard core political liars especially since I feel many are only running because they are willing to help President Trump. I don’t feel I’m being overly optimistic with this assessment.
No biggie. Just appoint temps that are thorough Trump supporters. Wash. Rinse, repeat until McConnell agrees to pass one.
We need about 3-400 Rick Grennell’s … Wonder what some of those “early retired / resigned” cops are going to be doing for the next 4 years or so….nothing like a little “double dip” for the ‘ol pension… With a large enough “pool”….PDJT can re-arrange the chairs until Mitch kicks the bucket…
AND…this may be an ideal time for the return of those Czar positions that Oblowme used to oversee everthing moving… Hell, might even need some in the “Wing Commander’s” offices, the Bridge of some Navy ships, and in the Bgd combat teams….maybe even down as far as some Bn or even key “Company” CP’s….
OR, we can hit the streets “shootingg and looting” like the “happy boys” we always have been…
AND, I see no reason to “wait” until Jan for any of this…. Monday at 0800 hr works just fine.
Check-6
What are you doing Richard Grenell?
I have another job for you in Germany or Afghanistan. Do you have anyone to recommend?
Dump Pence.
Make it Trump/Grenell 2020.
..I hope pence will be dump after 11/04/2020….
Pence to Germany. (Nice retirement location.)
Jim Jordan to V.P..
pence to germany…not bad idea
Grenell should replace Pompeo.
..and send Pompeo to Afghanistan/Somalia /Eritrea/Haiti..????
For the time being just let the positions remain open then if The Turtle Turd complains ask for a list of candidates along with specific reasons why they are better than Trump nominees.
Here is another approach. I call it (Fill In the Blank).
President Trump to the General in charge of Afghanistan (Fill In the Blank). I have a job for you. What would that be sir. With draw all the troops in Afghanistan but one. Then what will my new assignment be. Your going to Afghanistan!
But sir, Pelosi has allocated all that money for the troops in Afghanistan. Don’t spend it (Fill In the Blank)
Welcome to The conservative tree house.. please spend your next few years comming up to speed before posting
Ad rem please remove this troll
There is no “uniparty”. Sounds more like you part of the problem..I bet you love the chamber of commerce also. You know those Americans who shipped all those jobs to China..
No there are more than two choices.. there are corrupted politicians Democratic and Republicans and the are MAGA Republicans. You know..MAGA Republicans are the ones who support law and order and main st. and are against globalists and a two tier justice system.
I bet you think that Mr Wolf who leaked the Cater Page FISA warrant to the NYT was a good guy also.
By the way.. you realy are dumb.. voting for the lesser of the evils is not a choice …
By the way you can claim to be Lindsey Graham for all I care .. anominity of the key board Troll.
I will agree to a point about the uniparty not all in congress are, many are still under the delusion that they count, they are the pub party. They may act in good faith such as Nunes, Jordan and others but in the end it is we the people who are losing.

bizchuck, assuming your bio is true, as stated……………could you please, call Steve Pearce, head of the Republican Party in New Mexico, and teach/show him how to be a winner???? Thanking you in advance.
OK, that’s it. I started a reply to bizchuck’s first post above but cancelled it because others were getting the job done better than I could. That being said…
bizchuck just threatened, in the name of the GOP, to destroy those that he/she deems insufficiently orthodox.
Contrary to bizchuck’s pronouncement, the sledgehammer of the threat was NEVER Ronald Reagan’s style, approach, or belief. There is an enormous number of President Reagan’s devoted supporters who read here and participate in these threads daily: genuine Conservatives. We have witnessed the metamorphosis of OUR Republican Party – and it has been neither pretty nor an improvement.
Ronald Reagan would weep to see the manipulations, machinations, and subterfuge of the Republican Senate Majority AGAINST the agenda, and against the person of the President of the United States, you know, the gentleman who also just happens to be both the tacit and official Leader of the GOP.
warrprin1: Good For You! I think you said that exceptionally well. The arrogance of that type of republicans is a complete turn off to me. I’m what I guess you would call an independent. I’m Trump MAGA and that’s about it. There is much to dislike about these establishment republicans.
Yikes! The Republican Party of New Mexico is already milk-toast…………….and the democrats have stolen all state, and federal, offices! And the republican party did nothing in their power, to even try, to destroy the democrats. But, thank you for your reply.
The attempt to frame POTUS the 100% corrupt special counsel could never have happend without extreme corruption by senior Republicans in the Senate and in the house before the midterms. I do agree there needs to be hardcore straight Republican to make it harder and then it needs to be hardcore removal of the old guard, the backstabbers are the uniparty; the ones in committees doing nothing to combat or give proper oversight..
What Ray said. ⬆️
And you’re gonna purge the GOP or create a new MAGA party by 11/3/20, split off votes from Rethugnicans who at least wouldn’t vote to impeach/remove PDJT, thereby guaranteeing Demonrats winning those seats. And guaranteeing they will vote to remove. First rule of politics–if you can’t win, your vote is wasted. PDJT can win. If he backs a candidate, we need to back that candidate even if it requires holding our noses.
“I am a leader of the Republican Party in north Florida.”
Oh, you’re one of those types that enjoys neutering Floridians’ gun rights.
2016
Your beloved party controlled the house, senate, supreme court and whitehouse.
How’d that work out?
Please stop your little ad campaign here at a place where WE KNOW.
Thx hans for your input.
“The same UniParty dynamic is visible in the way the FBI/DOJ and aggregate intelligence community were weaponized against Donald Trump – with Democrats and Republicans participating in the unlawful processes. Now, in the downstream consequence phase, we see a UniParty defense approach to block Trump from revealing what happened.”
Thought I smelled something. Thanx again, SD.
Forgive me if I missed this elsewhere in CTH: The recent sorta-hi-vis support from the Chamber of Commerce for Dhimmicrats and lefties is really just another maskirovka, designed to encourage conservatives to continue supporting their ‘better than nothing’ Republicon Senators…?
This is not the first time that McConnell has told the President His picks will not pass the senate and maybe its time for the President to tell McConnell that if he loses the senate because of his bull crap that I will fire his wife on the first day and I will come after him with all I have He will not like what i do to his china connections and I will make sure there is no more money coming to his wife from her family in china That’s just sick that these idiots keep doing this to the President
I heard a few months ago that McConnell had told the senators not to support the President but I never thought that the idiots would really go along and throw away the senate .
The other day two of the senators was asked their thoughts about the book that had just came out and they stated they had not read the book and didn’t want to comment instead of just saying sorry this is just another hit job and going on their way..
These people are all cowards and McConnell being the worst of the bunch The man has no courage to fight with any more and schmoor and Palosi has too much power in their control over him.
I really hoped and prayed that this year there would be a lot of younger people who believe as President Trump does and would sign up and run and get rid of all of these really bad people
I used to think McConnell was a coward. He is not. He is complicit. There is a huge difference. And complicit is worse.
Benedict Arnold was an honorable man compared to Cocaine Mitch.
Mitch will have to answer to the people…sooner than he may think. Then we’ll see what he’s made of.
I trying to remember if McCain ever got a chance to answer for his complicitousness
Not to appear naive, but would a massive letter writing to Mitch add some pressure like we did with Kavanaugh? In that instance, Grassley, Collins, Mitch we’re inundated. Bombard the guy with phone calls and emails. Especially everyone on this site from KY. We’ll need out of staters, too.
My UniParty toady in the Senate is not up for re-election in this cycle. But maybe a letter writing / phoning / emailing blizzard to all the R Senate Members could be directed at them to elect a new / different Majority Leader if the GOP holds on, or someone else as Minority Leader if, God forbid, the Ds win the majority.
Maybe it isn’t entirely on the shoulders of Kentuckians. Maybe all of us can move this ball.
These folks are fuking with us, and our families, so why should their families be off limits.
Not sure if there is anything possible that Trump can do. Know for sure there is not a damn thing we can do. These same a-holes get voted in again by their states populace whenever their term is up–
Neither Ruger (Afghanistan) or MacGregor (Germany) sound great for their ambassadorships.
Both sound like the’d be more strident than persuasive in working with foreign leaders.
Can’t understand why Trump would push them, except as straw-man plans.
Perhaps these gives McConnell his due ( his thumbs down), and will result in an agreement most can live with.
Grenell may have found a better choice already. Whose the 2nd in command at the Germany State Dept. desk?
The article indicated MacGregor has made strong anti-Israeli statements. They don’t like Ruger because he is against getting more involved militarily in Afghanistan. Like Ruger, not MacGregor. However, the issues remain relative to Turtle, who I hate.
I know how bad the party can treat us but we need control of both houses. But, if Turtle and Miss Lindsey keep pushing back on our President, and it is CLEAR the Senate is lost anyway, I’d vote against those two if I were in those states. But only in that situation.
Don’t even think about losing the Senate. We could lose EVERYTHING. Things may look dire now, but the Senate in Schumer’s hands is unthinkable.
I liked your comment because it made me think of WHAT President Trump is doing…McConnell is for sure the leader BUT President Trump is the President…Putting these 2 individuals up for those assignments is the President’s way of engaging Mitch & the rest (rinos) so that at one of the President’s rallies: “you know what, I can’t anyone that I nominated past the Senate.” (or something to that effect) Pres. Trump has used this in the past with GLARING EFFICIENCY…
President Trump is NOT afraid of McConnell BUT at sometime of his choosing, McConnell & OTHERS are going to be stomped…Pres. Trump ALWAYS PLAYS THE LONG GAME…McConnell and the rest play the short game!!!! Pres. Trump I will have no pity!!!!
That is who put them there, of course they will never say it out loud.
I appreciate the straight honesty of Sundance’s pieces.
But I’m one of the soft-headed ones who let the cold, hard truth freak me out from time to time.
In addition to praying, what can a person like me do?
I don’t like this helpless feeling.
Carly..
We are the majority.. we are MAGA Americans.. take heart and talk to everyone.. take a look at the boat parades.. that’s us…
It will take time to clean house.. it did not happen overnight…but we can do it one vote at a time.. get active.. go to local debates.. make your position known… make sure MAGA Americans are running…
Calls to liberal talk shows might help wake up Dem somnambulists. Just a few MAGA facts…
Thank you, Hans, for the reminder!
And help teach our grandchildren real American history
And see that the PARENTS of these ‘grandchildren’ get some skin in the game.
We are now foot soldiers in the war for our country but unlike foot soldiers in an army we know to many facts that are usually only known to the Generals in charge and that is a heavy burden for a foot soldier. All any of us can do is our small or large part, depending on our circumstances, to win. In addition to very important prayer and to mentally keep up our courage we need only look to our General, President Trump, for attitude and encouragement. You only have to listen to one speech to see President Trump’s attitude about what is happening and what he wants to do. His courage and hope for the future is infectious.
Let’s hope Doug Collins win his senate seat, and does the job we need him to do. Unlock recess appointments
Just need to get Trump another 4 years….He will have much more flexibility to tell Mitch to piss off after the election.
The existence of the Uniparty is a fact in my mind. That Mitch is fully supporting efforts to undermine Trump progress while positioning globalist efforts is pretty clear now. “Once you see it, you can’t unsee it”
It is now quite apparent the judiciary is political and diametrically opposed to a conservative agenda.
So, we get Trump re-elected another 4 years. How is it that gonna be any better than the 4 we just experienced.
The only way we stay in the fight is to get Trump re-elected.
Merrick Garland is not a Supreme Court Justice. You must be thinking of Merrick Gorsuck.
That is the only good thing McTurtle has done, the rest of the time he is playing Brutus.
Wonderful. Maybe Mitch knows who is responsible for Justice Scalia’s unexpected and shocking death, and maybe he’ll finally stir the pot to launch the mechanism of bringing justice, for our beloved Justice.
McConnell is no hero
reading up on these guys and it sounds like they are non-warmongers. That’s why the dumb asses in the Senate GOPe won’t confirm them.
Click on the link of members of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee and there you’ll see Grahamnesty and Mitt ‘Judge Smales’ Romney. Two priks who worship at the McCain altar. Thanks Mitch.
Trump is a torch shedding light on the cockroaches.
Here in Kentucky, we have ads on the radio about how Mitch is fighting China on trade. You can’t make this stuff up.
couldn’t pt still put ruger and macgregor in as acting ambassadors?or maybe pt just threw those names out knowing mitch was gonna say no.
Fellow CTH readers, I would like to apologise on behalf of Florida for this individual. Natives don’t act like this unless you harm, or attempt to harm them.
We call these individuals carpet baggers, snow birds or transplants… they are not actually Florida but bring their ilk here from elsewhere and expect to ruin our state like their former.
This one apparently ran the north Florida Republican party but doesn’t know whom our supreme court justices are…
I digress…
@devilman96 and fellow Treepers.
Bizchuck is a troll…he was banned from Sparta Report for just this reason and is persona non grata at many other sites as well. He is not here to engage anyone in actual debate, but to clog up the thread by posting the same contrary comment over and over. Like the typical troll, If you engage him, he will never go away…best to ignore him to keep The Treehouse a pleasant place to come for open dialog.
I know Biz or Hank the Dachshund or (insert numerous other sock puppet avatars here) from other sites…if you don’t get rid of him now, he will poison this site.
“and Anthony Tata, who was recently tapped to become the Pentagon’s number two spot.”
Anthony Tata is a solid choice. My husband worked with him at one point when he was in the military. He said he is outstanding. The Dems dug up some former “statements” that Tata made to disqualify him and of course the RINOs go along with it. If I were POTUS, I would keep pushing for Tata like he did with the Cooch.
“the Cooch”?
Somebody up-thread said PDJT should just keep firing people in the embassies until he gets people that will work with him. Screw Mitch. Let him answer to the public. I believe IF the President is reelected he will make the Turtle’s life miserable.
H&HC: One can only hope, as he deserves it.
How long has it been since the Senate recessed? That, is all you need to know.
It’s time to replace McConnell . . . with Fightin’ Roy Blunt!
Let’s have a tireless, loyal, articulate, charismatic, and fearless battler leading our team!
Little by Little, the Republican party is becoming the MAGA party. Not fast enough for me, but it beats the alternative.
The Democrat party is becoming a Marxist party, just a little faster. This is freighting.
I think the Uniparty is dying (hopefully) (look at their ages), oh though they do not know it ; it might take a decade.
We have an election to win. President Trump is fighting for us, we should do all we able to support him, including voting for rinos. After we win this election, we should pivot to the primarys, being extremely careful who we pick to challenge the incumbents, Democrat, and retiring seats. We have been burned to much in the past, but times are changing.
“Supreme Court Justice Merrick Garland…”
Hopefully for North Florida you know more about electoral politics (like you claim) than you know about the Supreme Court, which is apparently nothing.
The first thing that struck me about the President’s nominees is that they are ex-militarymof lower rank. Which means that odds are they don’t have skeletons in their closet that can be exploited by the decepticons to keep them in line and that they would be loyal to the President.
Completely sincere, not trolling, I work an average of 50+ hours a week, so I don’t get to follow the comments super closely… Why does Yurtle McTurtle fight like the Marines at Mt Suribachi for Trump’s judicial nominees, do you think?
1. It is an unambiguous feather in his own cap. He, not Trump, gets primary bragging rights. It convinces those not understanding the UniParty dynamic that he is conservative, and on board with the Trump agenda (which China Mac is not).
2. It does not involve genuinely conservative legislation, which McConnell avoids bringing to the floor as much as possible – unless he has arranged for it to fail, for dramatic effect. (How many worthwhile bills are sitting in his drawer?)
3. Even if Mac and Co confirm a genuinely Constitutional justice, such a one is precisely the least likely to legislate from the bench. That justice would hence be no great threat to the Chamber of Commerce and Wall Street, who set Mac’s true agenda.
4. This whole scenario emphasizes Mac’s complete control of the process, to Trump and all. The Senate has not recessed, precisely for this reason: President Trump – of their own party – is denied all recess appointments, and McConnell retains all power.
One thing has been concerning me as I see the silent majority waking up. That is, will they go back to sleep at some point? When Trump wins in November, will his supporters keep up their fighting spirit? This article bolsters this concern, at least to me. McConnell should have been replaced at his last election time, but Kentuckians disappointed me. I still keep praying.
I really believe that the luxury of lethargic days are over. We can NEVER let our guard down again, as the enemy never does. People are so fired up now and that is very evident when you read Twitter threads and accounts. But our enthusiasm cannot wane till the next hot election; and as another commenter stated, it begins with / includes the local elections.
We have to stay in the fight and be warriors till we have the type of people in all government ( I can wish, can’t I?) who will carry the torch of President Trump forward.
To my way of thinking, sleeping is not an option anymore.
Raquel. If the President manages to win in November and keep that win in spite of all the election fraud that is coming, then we are going to see violence the likes of which will make us wish for August and September violence. Our side will have no choice but to stay up to speed. Our lives will depend on it.
I just finished reading this short, depressing novel of ” The Turtle at Work ” by Sundance. By depressing, I mean Sundance has laid out all of the background, the structure, and mission of the Uni-Party, along with almost insurmountable problems that We the People, and our chosen leader President Trump, faces. The one glaring omission is what do we do? How do we correct this abomination in the Government? One solution comes to mind, execute all of them, their families, their friends, kill their pets, burn their houses down, remove their faces, and names from all public record, would be a good start, but not a realistic one. I am so fed up with the corruption, greed, and lust for power in our Government but, it is the nature of the beast. There are very few, if any, human beings that can be sent to Washington, DC, who will not be corrupted within a month. Just the desire to go there is a red flag waving, warning us that this individual may have hidden plans, and desires to become wealthy beyond imaginings, to have control over the People, to become drunk with power. It is a flaw in all of Mankind, that is why we will never be rid of this problem, and why we will have to battle against it for as long as we exist on earth. Not very comforting to know, and some what depressing. I reckon there is no easy answer, or solution to this problem, and why Sundance never included one. It comes down to the Age Old Battle between Good, and Evil, that we are destine to fight from the moment we draw our first breathe to the moment we breathe our last.
One thing we can do is ignore those who say, vote for every GOP candidate (or every Dem candidate.) Take some time and find out where those up for election stand on issues of great importance. We are only under the knee of these two particular political parties if we continue to blindly vote for them.
For me, if a candidate is not willing to do away with FISA system as it currently exists, I will not vote pro them. Death to the Patriot Act!
The GOPe is not our friend and never was.
stillwater: Uh NO, we don’t kill pets. The rest of it, meh.
These old war horses cling to their power and money as if they are their only source of existence. How much money is enough, you multi-billionaires, and since you haven’t done much for America in your decades of gouging us in DC, except engage our children in endless wars and fake division, how long must you darken the Senate doorways and spit in the faces of the amazingly tolerant, generous American Patriots? What kind of judges have you been so busy approving? More traitors to America? The bell tolls for thee.
SD:
“This is not a surprise. As CTH has noted since the republicans took control over the senate in 2014, the upper chamber is opposed to anything President Trump supports.”
The Senate confirmation process is the single, strongest stranglehold thwarting the President’s effort to drain the most vile and dangerous parts of the DC swamp. JMO
Here is something i don’t see discussed. How would Mitch explain this?
With record number of Fed Judges appointed by President Trump (ie confirmed by Mitch’s Senate), Yet there are ZERO Fed District Judges appointed by Pres Trump in the State of California. There are 17 Vacancies waiting to be filled.
California has 4 Districts :
1. CENTRAL District of Calif
28 judges
Reagan = 1
Clinton = 2
GWBush = 8
Obama = 7
Trump = ZERO, but 10 vacancies awaiting Senate Approval
2. EASTERN District of Calif.
6 Judges
GWBush = 1
Obama = 3
Trump = ZERO, but 2 vacancies awaiting Senate approval
3. SOUTHERN District of Calif.
13 Judges
GWBush = 4
Obama = 4
Trump = ZERO, but 5 vacancies awaiting Senate approval.
4. NORTHERN District of Calif.
14 Judges
Clinton = 2
GWBush = 1
Obama = 11
Trump = ZERO
You need only to ask who are the two Senators from California.
PS; Watch to see what happens this upcoming week in the Senate. There are 4 nominations for the California District Courts and 4 nominations for the Illinois District Courts. I have not had time to research any of those nominations yet.
thanks for that info Paprika. I will watch for that
It should also be pointed out the conservative media’s role in preserving what SD has described.
We are all too familiar with the Left’s media, and which entities are certain Swamp factions’ chosen mouthpieces. On the right, maintaining the Red/Blue paradigm is how we are snowed into believing this is partisan, rather than UniParty.
When or if ever has your fave commentator used that descriptor? Does he or she rail against the Left exclusively, or is there equally sharp criticism of GOP figures? Does an indictment of the Bush clan ever escape their lips?
While support of any GOP president seems a given, the top of the conservative commentator list is populated by media figures who have not always been pro-Trump, isn’t it? Some NeverTrumpers cannot bring themselves to act the part, while others have “seen the light.”
I’m willing to bet two or three names come to mind, and would be described as “staunch supporters,” and are known for a partisan line of argument– Democrat bad, Republican good.
This is the BEST, most succinct article I have ever read describing the current state of American politics and how we got here..
It’s a keeper.
It clearly describes how a small minority of power brokers continue to govern our country against the will of the majority using extraconstitutional tools born of scheme and graft. Directly antithetical to our founding principles.
I’ve copied, and will be distributing.
This needs to be printed in massive quantity, pamphleteered, leafleted from airplanes, maybe even broadcast from orbit.
Thank you Sundance,
Stevo
Does PT say to McConnell, ‘not confirmable’ “isn’t that your job Mitch, aren’t we on the same team here? Make it happen pal.”
DJT knew the swamp’s response before he made his move (see DNI choices). He has 2-3 moves ready before they ever consider his first one. He’ll temp these positions with his choice. I predict he’ll be doubling and tripling down on them through the end of 2024. He doesn’t give 2 shits what they think after the election.
Ocelot, I understand your frustration. Let me assure you it is shared by almost all Republicans in Utah. Before the 2018 election Romney had a good reputation in this state as the “savior” of the 2002 Winter Olympics and as a member of the LDS (Mormon) Church. He repeatedly promised during the campaign that he would be the strong conservative vote that Utah wanted in the Senate.
Long story short, once elected he reverted to being the governor of the most liberal state in the Union. This has infuriated the vast majority of Utah Republicans who see his actions as outright betrayal of those who voted for him. Romney’s reputation here is now trashed beyond any hope of redemption. As President Trump accurately stated last week, “Romney couldn’t get elected dog catcher in Utah now.”
So, to answer your question, no, Utah is NOT proud of Mitt Romney. He is now considered to be a calculating, duplicitous, backstabbing hypocrite whose actions invariably have but one goal: to benefit Mitt Romney. Unfortunately, we still have four more years of his lying and intentionally spiteful thwarting of his constituents’ wishes because there is no legal way to remove him. Indeed, because he knows they now thoroughly despise him, I think he takes pleasure in deliberately acting in ways calculated to anger Utah Republicans. He and John McCain, vicious losers both, are cut from exactly the same self-serving, vindictive, hateful pattern.
OK Yertle, here’s what we do. We put embassies that don’t have ambassadors on emergency staffing until such time as an ambassador is appointed, sending all the non essential swampsters back to DC (I’m sure they all live there) until an ambassador is appointed. No pay either so some may want to look for other jobs. Then watch how fast ambassadors get approved.
“Not confirmable.” In Americana that means not on the Chicom’s payroll.
Does the president have the power to fire McConnell?
Will a mass declassification exposing them globalist uniparty deep state ever happen? Preferably one laid out w a massive meme and video campaign PR blitz to explain it quickly????
The left is garbage but the deceptive con traitorous RINOs are even more loathesome. .
“CONFIRMED: Secretary of Transportation Elaine Chao’s sister, Angela Chao, currently sits on the board of directors of the Communist Chinese government’s Bank of China”
Does Mitch care about Trump winning re-election?
CONFIRMED: Mitch McConnell and Elaine “Chao received $5 million to $25 million from her father, James Chao, whose shipping company Foremost Group does massive deals with the Chinese government.”
Peter Schweizer
No seriously is the Turtle doing everything he can for Trumps re-election? I think he’s working against the re-election.
When will he and Chao get investigated?
Which begs the question; why bother….?
If I recall correctly, AG Barr said that he would not indict anyone standing for election. That leaves 2/3 of the Senate in the gunsights. As we are at war (remember the War on Terror, declared in 2001 and still valid), we are not talking just sedition, but probably treason, which is tried in courts martial. Then Section 3 of the 14th Amendment, at a minumum, comes into play. Even if we don’t hang them. The deep state is panicking for a good reason.
