The leftist spin in the Politico article is purposeful in reference to their alignment with the Democrats; however, the substantive content of the article is accurate. Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell, and his Decepticon henchmen (Thune, Blunt and Barasso), warn the republicans not to object during the January 6th certification the electors.
If a republican senator objects to the election certification, a roll-call vote within the chamber will be required and McConnell doesn’t want the optic of Republican senators voting to affirm Joe Biden as the president-elect. McConnell fears the sunlight.
WASHINGTON DC – Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell warned Republican senators Tuesday during a private caucus call not to object to the election results on Jan. 6, according to two sources familiar with the matter.
McConnell told his caucus that challenging the results would force Republicans to take a “terrible vote” because they would need to vote it down and appear against President Donald Trump. Senate Majority Whip John Thune (R-S.D.) and Sen. Roy Blunt (R-Mo.) also echoed McConnell’s remarks.
Several House Republicans, led by hard-line conservative Rep. Mo Brooks (R-Ala.), are still planning to challenge the election results on Jan. 6, the date Congress will officially certify them. If a Republican senator joins the long-shot effort, however, it will force both chambers to take a vote on the election. But they have yet to get official buy-in from any GOP senators, though Sen. Rand Paul (R-Ky.) hasn’t ruled it out. (read more)
In the final analysis it all comes down to a very familiar place for long-term CTH red-pilled readers. The UniParty has two wings, but it is still one bird. McConnell is in control of the Senate and he has earnestly worked against the interests of President Trump for the past four years. CTH has tried to point this issue out since 2011, now we see more people starting to wake up and pay attention.
DC has one interest, the maintenance of their system. It is a simple yet frustrating reality to admit that only one party currently exists within Washington DC; however, that is the unfortunate reality. The processes within DC are created to protect themselves against us, the people. {2018 – GO DEEP}
Other than President Trump, approximately half of America doesn’t have a representative voice in Washington DC. It is very frustrating.
We cannot say we were not warned [ SEE HERE ] it was obvious immediately after the Democrats won the House in 2018 that McConnell was breathing a sigh of relief. [Also a reminder: the SSCI doesn’t run an operation against the President without the Leader of the Senate knowing about it.]
Through his power structure McConnell directly controls about 8 to 15 republican senators; we have called them “The Decepticons” for years. [Cornyn, Thune, Porter, Blunt, Portman, Burr, Barasso, Crapo, Murkowski, Gardner, Roberts, Sasse, Tillis, Rubio, Graham and Romney]
McConnell has a well-used playbook he deploys to retain power at all costs and select candidates that will be indebted to his Senate schemes. Senate candidate Doug Collins was up against the same Mitch McConnell machine readers here are very familiar with.
To remind ourselves how Minority and Majority Senator McConnell took down the threat of the Tea Party revisit these old articles: CNN Part I and CNN Part II both showcase how McConnell works. Then do some research on how McConnell worked with Haley Barbour in Mississippi [SEE HERE].
Remember October last year?
Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell announced his resolution warning President Trump not to remove troops from Syria or Afghanistan. [Not coincidentally the two countries visited by Speaker Pelosi and Adam Schiff the prior weekend.]
(Source)
Of course the obvious, albeit unwritten “or else” part, was McConnell threatening to join with Senator Lindsey Graham and support President Trump’s impeachment.
Of course this came on the heels of Republican Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell announcing he was “especially proud” of passage for his amendments requiring the U.S. military to continue operations in Afghanistan and Syria:
The bill passed 77-yea, 23-nea. [Vote Tally Here] The only Republican who voted against perpetual war in the middle east and supported President Trump was Rand Paul.
Every time this happens victims of battered conservative syndrome start a process of reconciling the reason for their abuse by excusing and justifying their abuser, Mitch McConnell.
There are massive numbers of Republicans who view Senate Majority Mitch McConnell as a brilliant strategist and staunch supporter of President Trump. Unfortunately, those voices once again have to reconcile McConnell’s comprehensive failure on any President Trump priority action. McConnell even negotiated for less border security.
For those who follow the deep weeds of politics, McConnnell’s schemes are brutally transparent. For the remaining 97% of the voting electorate, they still don’t understand how the UniParty works. Decepticon leader McConnell doesn’t want the American electorate to see purchased senate republicans voting NO on border security.
Consider Senator Mitch McConnell telling the President of the United States that he had “excessive expectations” because President Trump doesn’t understand how things are done around here:
“A Congress goes on for two years. Part of the reason I think that the storyline is that we haven’t done much is because, in part, the president and others have set these early timelines about things need to be done by a certain point.”
“Our new president, of course, has not been in this line of work before, and I think had excessive expectations about how quickly things happen in the Democratic process.”
That rebuke irked President Trump, as it should. President Trump responded via twitter: “I don’t think so”…
McConnell must preserve the trough – Corporations (special interest group) write the legislation. Lobbyists take the law and go find politician(s) to support it. Politicians get support from their peers using tenure and status etc. Eventually, if things go according to norm, the legislation gets a vote.
Within every step of the process there are expense account lunches, dinners, trips, venue tickets and a host of other customary financial way-points to generate/leverage a successful outcome. The amount of money spent is proportional to the benefit derived from the outcome.
When a House or Senate member becomes educated on the intent of the legislation, they have attended the sales pitch; and when they find out the likelihood of support for that legislation; they can then position their own (or their families) financial interests to benefit from the consequence of passage. It is a process similar to insider trading on Wall Street, except the trading is based on knowing who will benefit from a legislative passage.
The legislative construct passes from K-Street into the halls of congress through congressional committees. The law originates from the committee to the full House or Senate. Committee seats which vote on these bills are therefore more valuable to the lobbyists. Chairs of these committees are exponentially more valuable.
Now, think about this reality against the backdrop of the 2016 Presidential Election. Legislation is passed based on ideology. In the aftermath of the 2016 election the system within DC was not structurally set-up to receive a Donald Trump presidency.
If Hillary Clinton had won the election, her Oval Office desk would be filled with legislation passed by congress which she would have been signing. Heck, she’d have writer’s cramp from all of the special interest legislation, driven by special interest groups that supported her campaign, that would be flowing to her desk.
Why?
Simply because the authors of the legislation, the originating special interest and lobbying groups, were spending millions to fund her campaign. Hillary Clinton would be signing K-Street constructed special interest legislation to repay all of those donors/investors.
Congress would be fast-tracking the passage because the same interest groups also fund the members of congress.
President Donald Trump winning the election threw a monkey wrench into the entire DC system…. In early 2017 the modern legislative machine was frozen in place.
The “America First” policies represented by candidate Donald Trump were not within the legislative constructs coming from the K-Street authors of the legislation. There were no MAGA lobbyists waiting on Trump ideology to advance legislation based on America First objectives.
As a result of an empty feeder system, in early 2017 congress had no bills to advance because all of the myriad of bills and briefs written were not in line with President Trump policy. There was simply no entity within DC writing legislation that was in-line with President Trump’s America-First’ economic and foreign policy agenda.
McConnell has a history of getting caught in his schemes. However, fortunately for him people also have a tendency to forget [see McConnell’s scheme in the Mississippi 2014 Cochran race as an example]. Almost no-one remembers that U.S. Senator Jim DeMint, the founder of the Senate Conservative Fund, quit the Senate specifically because of the schemes and internal Machiavellian power moves of Mitch McConnell.
Senate Leader Mitch McConnell has one major career alliance that has been unbroken and unchanged for well over two decades. That alliance is with the U.S. Chamber of Commerce and specifically with CoC President Tom Donohue. [SEE HERE and SEE HERE].
If the president continues to remain focused exclusively on what is in the U.S. best interests, he must be stopped. Politicians in DC cannot just sit-by and allow the U.S. economy to be based on the interests of Americans; it would mean the destruction of years of central planning by DC Lobbyists, multinational banks, Wall Street and multinational corporations.
Familiar faces, perhaps faces you previously thought were decent, are now revealing their alignment with larger entities that are our abusers. The ‘America First’ economy and Trump-trade doctrine upsets the entire construct of this multinational export/control dynamic. Team Trump focus exclusively on bilateral trade deals, with specific trade agreements targeted toward individual nations (not national corporations).
‘America-First’ is also specific policy at a granular product level looking out for the national interests of the United States, U.S. workers, U.S. companies and U.S. consumers.
Additionally, under President Trump’s Trade positions, balanced and fair trade with strong regulatory control over national assets, exfiltration of U.S. national wealth is essentially stopped. This approach put many current multinational corporations, globalists who previously took a stake-hold in the U.S. economy with intention to export the wealth, in a position of paying for interest of an asset they can no longer exploit.
Perhaps now we understand better how massive multi-billion multinational corporations and institutions are aligned against President Trump. Congress does not write laws or legislation, special interest groups do. Lobbyists are paid, some very well paid, to get politicians to go along with the need of the legislative group.
When we are voting for a Congressional Rep or a U.S. Senator we are not voting for a person who will write laws. Our rep only votes on legislation to approve or disapprove of constructs that are written by outside groups and sold to them through lobbyists who work for those outside groups.
While all of this is happening the same outside groups who write the laws are providing money for the campaigns of the politicians they need to pass them. This construct sets up the quid-pro-quo of influence, although much of it is fraught with plausible deniability.
Politicians like Mitch McConnell are not happy without their indulgences, but the issue is actually bigger. Less K-Street expenditure also means less personal benefit; and worse still, no opportunity to advance financial wealth from the insider trading system.
His primary worry has passed. There’s no reason to play nice. Mitch McConnell will now undermine President Trump with greater visibility. It has nothing to do with ideology, the issue is much more foundational…. MONEY. There are trillions at stake.
Contact your senator and include this article in the email. Contact senators who have stood up before. Let them know that we know.
Mitch support the GOP or your done! Trump all the way, no doubts.
How would Mitch be done?
It’s not just democrats who stay in power by fraud voting, Elizabeth Warren expressed that two years ago.
The voting system should be shut down and replaced. If fraud was shown it should be remedied in a way that removes any corruption or corrupt politicians. But, we would have to have law enforcement and they heel to the swamp.
The voter fraud has protected their seats for probably more than a decade. It looks to be the hill they are choosing to die on because the RINOs, spineless by nature, are fighting like hell.
So very true. It would be so refreshing to have just ONE Senator to have half the courage of PDJT.
Rand Paul, Josh Hawley, Ted Cruz, Ron Johnson???
It is called an arrest for corruption. Ignored until no longer needed.
Think about Mitch’s last re-election. Down in the polls. Rush in to campaign at the last minute. Bragging about “don’t worry about my reelection. “. I’ll be majority leader when the election is over. Over confident. He knew it was all fixed for him. I live close to Ky. I saw it first hand. It stinks!
He’ll lose the senate and no longer in charge! He’ll make more money too. When will Karma hit him too.
Cocaine Mitch.
Right now Mitch doesn’t have to steal as badly as dems because we produce millions of real votes for RINOs, once we are gone, Mitch/RINOs will have to produce those millions votes out of thin air.
Now what? Who gets the stolen votes? The GOP or Dems? Remember they are a UNIPARTY. They are one party, all of them want to stay in power and they help each other.
If they remove Trump that is exactly what I wish we will do. Run a 3rd guy who will get millions of votes.
What would their agreement look like? One truck load of fake ballots for Dems and one for the GOP. This voting machine will switch to dems but this one to the GOP.
Some of you will say: Oh but we can’t let the Democrats take over… That ship already sailed. We have ONE PARTY. RINOs are Democrats.
Republicans
In
Name
Only.
We can ruin their lives if we want to. As Sundance said, there are 74+ millions of us. We can do some damage to the system.
They would have to go full blown communist to stop us. Concentration camp style.
Right now, NO! We still need to vote for Republicans in Georgia BECAUSE Trump is still President and he has not given up hope of winning the WH, Many are out there fighting and we must support them til the end.
It’s not over until Trump concedes and says is over. But if they remove Trump by stealing this election then RINOs must pay for what they have done to us.
McConnell has no intention of supporting Trump, and neither do the Senate Republicans.
Fine, I have no intention of EVER voting for another Republican again–or sending them money. And I’m advising ALL my family and friends to do the same.
If the Ruling Class insists on giving us Socialism, then let them give it to us good and hard. Maybe then the people will wake up!!!
Make sure they know it. It’s all for nothing if the crooks have no idea how we feel.
Amen. I’m right there with you.
Irrelevant. If the cheat stands,”They” dont need us anymore to vote or not.
This is again one of those times, that the 17th AMENDMENT FUBAR’s us. IF senators were accountable to their state legislators, (Appointed and recall-able) like they were originally designed by the Founders,all f this present situation would be moot.
They aren’t going to give you socialism they are going to give you communism. Go back and read every statement heels up Harris has made they are all communists sayings. She hates the idea of private property, she will kill the 2nd any way she can, she does think however she just has to have a pen to do so, ah sorry it is an amendment. Face it we either fight or live on our knees.
So, you’re going to hit yourself in the head with a hammer, and urge others to do the same, so that when you stop, you’ll all feel better? Finally, people will learn that a hammer to the head hurts! Maybe everyone needs to have their homes flooded so that they buy flood insurance? Rioting in the streets all summer didn’t wake up anybody. Democrats in the worst riot areas still voted for democrats.
And, the question is, who would you vote for after “the people wake up”? After years of Socialism wouldn’t the media be even more entrenched in maintaining the ruling class? Wouldn’t Socialism destroy any fair media that might try to tell the truth? How would “the people” learn anything that wakes them up?
The solution is to figure out how to destroy the legacy MSMedia. How about a truly Public Broadcasting System that encourages different media to stand up and tell the truth rather than take public dollars and only tell one side? This system would always have 2 or more viewpoints from different media and the public would know if they want another opinion they can trust that they can get it. The participants and the public would be in charge and function like open source software. Free and available to everyone. Everybody contributes including the public so that the consumer or user benefits. The Great Debate channel!
Why bother, he will be dead after this term he is not running again. He has already done enough damage. I hope the gop at least 2 counter or challenge Mitch on electors.
Read my lips.If President Trump isn’t re-elected THIS TIME,there WILL be NO next time.You WILL be slaves to the chicoms,FOREVER.Either you prepare to FIGHT or get used to living on your knees,FOREVER………
He was just re-elected he has 6 years…
But we can switch party to Independent and send him a message that we will be voting for our own Independent candidates from now on.
2022, will be a 3 candidate race. The GOP has no chance without us. Well ok… they can fabricate millions of votes. But that will have them competing to steal from Democrats. Both bringing in truck loads of fake ballots… and who gets to corrupt what voting machines. What a mess…
Both GOP and Dems will have cheat like crazy to steal from about 70 million of us.
Mitch can back Trump or else! We will be gone.
Good luck with that.
Is the senate our only path left after SCOTUS or are there still alternatives (besides insurrection or civil war) to install the duly elected President Trump for his second term?
Martial Law is an option and 14th Amendment.
We have one party, and we have 80 million voters, who aren’t in that party.This one party doesn’t like us and us being gone, is on their wish list.
They have the moral ineptitude, to proceed with that wish.
If the President doesn’t pull off a miracle, of being our next President, which he clearly and legally won, we have no more Republic.
Welcome to our ‘Last Stand’. Make it count
The alternative to an honest and accepted vote is blood.
Do these corrupt clowns breath some special air?
They certainly seem to think so !
It is stunningly disheartening to have to accept the fact that all of the “bombshell” indisputable evidence of voter fraud is not going to happen – the Kraken, mail-in vote counting, hacked Dominion systems, etc. etc. Relying on the courts rather than a mass information dump was a horrific miscalculation. This realization is actually more devastating than accepting the dementia-ridden biden as president.
You think this is bad, just wait until there are no more free elections.
Oh, we’ll be told it’s all secure, but just like ’18, and this year, the fix will be in.
Any troublemakers pop off about auditing the vote will be silenced by acquiescence to the demand. There will be a recount, but only to affirm that the fix was indeed in. There will be no proof as the machines will have been wiped clean of any damaging information.
If this isn’t fixed, we’re done.
Just wait until the Great Reset happens.
Relying on fantasies only work in video games.
Oh ye of little faith.
Trust President Trump. He has many ways to win, including cases going to Supreme Court, Insurrection Act, Executive Order from 2018 and more.
Remember how Trump was not able to get funding for the wall? Well, we now have 400 miles of wall!
Keep the faith. MAGA again.
Also… the “bombshell indisputable evidence” has happened. It’s out there. The only ones who aren’t aware of it are those who get all their information from the legacy media – and even there people are slowly waking up. Trump is pretty good at forcing the media to cover things they didn’t mean to… and ordinary people get suspicious when you scream “no fraud! no fraud! but also no audits!” over and over at them.
PDJT is especially able when it is long odds. And as POTUS he has a great array of tools that the uniparty does not have.
Now that the crooks (McConnell et al) are patting themselves on the back and relaxed and popping champagne corks, the good guys will launch the next phase of rescuing The Republic. The maneuvers in state legislatures and in the courts systems are just two prongs of a multi-phase defense of The Republic.
This is far from over. OTOH it may be that POTUS makes a decisive move this week – we know when we see it.
For every Brennan, Hayden and Clapper there are dozens of underlings who “owe them” for being promoted into positions of authority. Those three principals are now very old…but their acolytes will form the leadership team for the Intelligence Community under Biden and identify the generation of leaders that follow them.
We all trust PDJT.
None of us trust the Turtle.
I don’t wish to rain on anyone’s parade but lets look at the facts. THEY, THE UNIPARTY DO NOT WANT TRUMP EVER they will see to it that this aberration never happens again. The only thing I can see that MAY change anything is if he drops the EO on their heads and implements the insurrection act.
you have to go through the courts knowing you are gonna lose…everyone gets to see the bs and then you go to the mattresses… it has to be that way, clean, by the rules and then when you have shown the deck is stacked against you then you strike
We are basically almost out of time.
“all of the “bombshell” indisputable evidence of voter fraud” HAS HAPPENED !
Trouble is: our “courts” are just as rigged as the voting system, and have refused to even look at the mountain of evidence…
I completely agree with you.
Wildest long shot I could imagine, but Chuck Grassley at his age has nothing to lose, and apparently an intense disliking of Joey Biteme (and maybe even Kamaltoes, too). His righteous indignation about Biden and Burisma might just be enough for him to tell Cocaine Mitch to shove it and call for a roll-call vote.
I wonder if the other Decepticons could stand the sunlight? Mitch is shameless and couldn’t give a rat’s ass.
If there isn’t 1 Senator out of 50-52 that has the integrity to object, then the Republican Party is done. China Mitch will have stabbed the wooden stake through his dishonest heart.
It is hard to look from the outside into the Fishbowl of Washington without seeing the only thing that keeps it together is corruption; how to sell out your country and your people for silver.
Grassley just might. Two other Senators need to join him. Rand Paul for one, Ted Cruz for the other.
The dislike of Cruz is pretty much bipartisan.
I will be reaching out to him. Cornyn is a wasted phone call.
Go ahead and call ol’ Cornyn anyway! He is arrogant but give him a pierce of your mind.
Grassley. Call for a roll call vote. !!! Make them go in the record.
I sure hope you are right.
“The UniParty has two wings, but it is still one shitbird” FIFY.
“As Secretary of Transportation, Chao (Mitch’s wife) appeared in at least a dozen interviews with her father, James, a shipping magnate with extensive business interests in China.”
Y’all do the math.
Covered in Schweitzer’s book Secret Empires…McConnell is a puppet of the Chao family and they owe their wealthto China
The Chao family has direct line to XI
Every person who voted for trump should call or write their Senators and tell them, if they DONT challenge The 2020 presidential election, we the people of the individual states will begin recall petitions for those that dont support us. With close to 80 million voters on our side, it shouldn’t hard to do.
I am with you in spirit, but unfortunately there is not a recall provision for U.S. Senators. But they can be forced out if found guilty of high crimes and misdemeanors etc. If a certain senator was found to be working with Dominion to steal the vote to put himself in office in a state like Michigan or maybe Kentucky, just as a hypothetical example …
Have you tried calling your “senator”?? I have, many times, and i always get a recorded telephone message promising to return my calls… Which never happened.
Have you tried writing your “senator” by snail mail or email?? I have written and i got back a form letter a few weeks later touting all that the “senator” has done for his constituents, but nary a mention of what I wrote about…
Mitch is one of mine. I have complained before and 1) you only get a recording never a person, 2)you receive a email back telling you how Mitch supports KY and thanks you for your support. That’s it.
Use postcards, everyone in the chain of delivering them can read them. Just Saying
I have even gotten back a “thank you for your support” letter when what I sent was the total opposite! And then they start sending me emails about all the great crap they do.
U.S. Election Assistance Commission and the Center for Internet Security Partner on Non-Voting Election Technology Verification Pilot Program
“SILVER SPRING, Md., June 17, 2020 – The U.S. Election Assistance Commission (EAC) announced its partnership with the Center for Internet Security, Inc. (CIS®) to pilot a technology verification program focused on non-voting election technology including electronic poll books, election night reporting websites, and electronic ballot delivery systems. The proposed program is entitled “Rapid Architecture-Based Election Technology Verification,” or RABET-V, and it relies on a risk-based approach that allows rapid verification of manufacturers’ security claims.”
And there’s more:
” In addition to the EAC, state election leaders from Maryland, Ohio, Wisconsin, Texas, Pennsylvania, Indiana, and the Federal Voting Assistance Program (FVAP) will participate in the pilot program. The program is supported by technical expertise from Carnegie Mellon University, the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST), and the Open Web Application Security Project (OWASP). Four non- voting election system manufacturers have already signed up for the pilot: Scytl, VR Systems, KNOWiNK, and VotingWorks. The project forecasts being able to provide a preliminary report to stakeholders this fall.”

Do we still have viable paths short of insurrection and civil war?
The only Constitutional option remaining is for a Senate Republican to object on January 6th. It could happen, but even then I would not expect the RINO posse of Collins, Romney, Murkowski, Sasse or any of the others to vote for Trump.
So yeah. it’s gonna be left to We the People. As Frankly quipped at the dawn of our Republic…...”it’s a Republic, if you can keep it.”
No.
Since Republican electors have voted, it is still in theory possible for a court to overturn the results in some or all states before the 6th, and have the Republican votes certified instead of the Democrat votes. I’m not sure this is terribly likely given what we’ve seen so far with courts (and state legislatures), but it would qualify as a viable path, even if unlikely.
It could become more likely if some really solid evidence gets declassified regarding foreign interference or something, but of course if such evidence exists we don’t know about it. (It might not exist.) Or some other action taken under the “election interference” Executive Order, but once again we have no way of knowing until it happens, so we can’t even say it that’s “viable” or not.
gingergal, stay strong sister! Please see my comment above. PDJT has multiple tools at work and an ever growing army of support as we get the source code in Antrim Michigan, in Maricopa County, and rock-solid proof of vote-switching.
Meaning – POTUS as Chief Magistrate of the USA has definite cause to move to stop those federal crimes. In addition to the state delegations, and in addition to the court cases. Things will unfold quickly.
Mitch is sickening. Democrats are evil. Republicans are useless and without redemption. Time for revolution.
Don’t vote for Republicans because they market themselves as being better then the Dems. Look for real conservatives. Tell your state GOP that if they don’t do real conservative things then you lose your seats.
dittos to that C.T. !!
In less than four years the combo of Cuomo and DeBlasio in NY have turned a once thriving city and state into an empty shell, ruining the livelihood of untold millions, west coast states letting thugs and bullies take over entire city centers, criminals being set free because of covid-madnes –
these politicians who think they are saving their precious schemes, our nation won’t have 4 years before o’biden’s beloved Dark Winter makes its presence known in all the crevices of our nation. Perhaps their (the uniparty politicians) bubble is the biggest and will be the first to burst.
Rand Paul is a one-issue politician, as long as he can vote against the US military he’s happy to let everything else go on.
Looking for a Christmas Miracle. Our nation truly is in need of one. May God’s Blessings continue to be with President Trump and the entire Trump family.
Vote for real conservatives and let the GOP know they suck
Amén ! Looking for that Christmas Miracle , to come with Christmas star! Against all odds the greatest defeat of the pride of Satan was the birth of a baby boy in the tiny town of Bethlehem . Even in that tiny town they rejected him and God had to send His only Son into the world to be born in a manger . God’s love for fallen humanity will always prevail over the evil schemes of Satan and his minions who are filled with hatred for that Christ child . Do not fear , as the angel told Mary and the Shepherds , “DO NOT FEAR”
It is Advent right now – the season of waiting and preparing yourself for the coming of our Lord. Quit looking at what your “neighbor” is doing, look to yourselves and be ready.
China Mitch and China Joe. The U.S. Chamber of Chinese Commerce is much pleased.
Stealing the votes of 74 million honest Americans will have consequences.
The City State of Washington D.C. , like Rome, will fall.
O.R.B. – your description of D.C. as a “City State” is a profoundly accurate description. A paradigm shift of great worth.
Thank you, Sundance. Another concisely written thesis. When it has been pointed out for all to see and most agree, that the problem is all of these nefarious entities are feeding at the public trough, the solution is plain to see albeit vastly more difficult to accomplish, stop filling the trough! The 16th and 17th amendments must be repealed! Filling the trough with the confiscated wealth of the people is what is empowering these tyrants and until we remove their power source they will continue rule over us!
Start looking at Board of Directors – especially “non-profits” who occupy a foward position when the table is set – when it comes to how government money is spent. You will find an amazingly large number of former elected officials hired by these componies. The money recycling is very evident – the companies do the dirty work behind the scenes (ever wonder how the Obamacare web servers were remediated behind the scene and where the mnoney came from; who did the work?), the companies are guaranteed their contract renewals, the board directors are paid huge amounts of money. The board directors serve two masters – the influence (communications channels) they bring to the company and, in turn, the tacit reordering of priorites the government demands for contracts. Everyone in on the deal makes out!
hey mitch If ever you need help for anything unjust or any harm to you, I will be sure to look the other way and ignore cry for help….
Evil grins and cavorts. It must be remembered tharpt the cheat to win against Trump was a dual effort by GOPe and Dems. We are here today because the GOPe never supported Trump and they were determined to show Trump supporters their votes meant nothing because the Uniparty own the machines and control the counters. ….73 million Americans disenfranchised in 2020.

Have I now become your enemy by telling you the truth ?
Won’t it be a surprise when McConnell is the first one arrested !
This is not suprising the Turtle is XI’s right hand man.
He is our enemy.
And…….I would imagine that the January 6th vote to confirm electors in the Senate is why Senator Harris has not given up her seat yet. That gets the Dems 1 vote closer (48-50) and only needing 2 turncoat R’s to squash alternative slate of electors.
Good call!
Excellent post Sundance – just EXCELLENT. Nice job.
AMERICA FIRST – while we can.
The REBEL ALLIANCE – forever.
Perhaps, we should all begin with an understanding, that INSURRECTION, by statute. Is an act of violence to overthrow, an established authority. Fighting on behalf of that established authority, for the President and for our existence as a Democratic Republic. Those who ourselves the targets of attack, by communist forces, seeking the defeat of America…
Is not Insurrection, by any stretch of the word. We are acting, in defense of America. As such there are No Rules of Engagement and the burden of proof, for your status as either Patriot or Traitor. Will be demonstrated by your actions, on 06 January 21. Support the Union, or Resign immediately!
Mitch McConnell needs to be told, in no uncertain terms. Once again it is America itself that has been attacked. That our way of life and existence as a Republic has been threatened in manners never before witnessed. By Biological, by Technological, by Economic measures. Many of which have been conducted by parties within our own government. Those members, that internal threat must be identified and rooted out, immediately…
Accordingly all members of the House and Senate will either STAND UP and STAND TALL for America in our hour of need. Or they will be considered, members of those forces, behind the attack, and thus targeted for replacement by the People…
They have targeted US, we have no recourse but to Defend this nation…once again. From All enemies, you know the rest, Foreign and Domestic!
Why would they “have to vote it down” if they object?
“For the love of money is a root of all kinds of evil…” 1 Timothy 6:10
Trump cannot be bought. Ever. They hate him for it. We love him for it.
Always follow the money! Flashback: Mitch McConnell Received Donations from Voting Machine Lobbyists Before Blocking Election Security Bills
Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell squashed two bills intended to ensure voting security on Thursday, just one day after former special counsel Robert Mueller warned that Russians were attempting to sabotage the 2020 presidential elections “as we sit here.”
McConnell said he wouldn’t allow a vote on the bills because they were “so partisan,” but, as previously reported, earlier this year McConnell received a slew of donations from four of the top voting machine lobbyists in the country.
“Clearly this request is not a serious effort to make a law. Clearly something so partisan that it only received one single solitary Republican vote in the House is not going to travel through the Senate by unanimous consent,” said McConnell on the Senate floor.
I’m starting to think that we “conservatives,” “traditionalists,” “Tea Partiers,” “populists,” (whatever you want to call us) have always been like the Polish cavalry on horses fighting the German panzer divisions at the beginning of WW II. If our side can beat every scam (ordinary election fraud, media bias, censorship) until 2 am on the day after the election and we they still win????? We just don’t have the institutional support to do things in the traditional ways anymore (if we ever did since about 1996). We need resistance with teeth in it now, but I’m not sure where to go and what to do. Do we all just pull our money out of Chase/Wells Fargo et al.? Most of us here haven’t done business with these people in ages anyway. Open to suggestions….
Dear Mitch McConnell –
Eat a bag of d***ks.
-America
Mitch, was re elected, enough said.
Pictured in article. Turncoat SCUM!!
Mitch will now lose the senate.
Thank you Sundance for continuing to show me the truth.
You are a National Treasure.
The Republicans will never get another dime from me or my family.
But the Pubs actually prefer the minority.
Less work. All they have to do is raise money saying “Look over there, those people are BAD! send me more money!
If you only put us in power we will FIX THINGS! Send us more money!
I think most of the people here, have been reading your articles for many years. Not a football fan anymore. I think most would understand why that is.
Analogy- This article reminds me of John Maddon. He would always state the obvious. Money money more money money money money money money.
I pray for President Trump his family and yours. Men and women without morals and religion become senators and congressmen plus now the Supreme Court.
The betrayal from the communists in government will never be forgiven.
ONLY We the People can fix this and fix it we must. If not now, there will never be another chance. Even now, it may take violence to effect the change we require. Certainly Mitch and others will not step down in principle, they’ll have to be taken out with stronger measures than mere ideas or a simple oath to support the Constitution.
Mitch loses Georgia on Jan 5. Elector vote count on Jan 6 by Pence. Will the Turtle support a Senate challenge then? Maybe.
Has Kommieala Harris resigned her seat in the Senate yet? If not, why not? Makes you say, hmmm.
Mitch is nothing but a war mongering weasel. He is in it for Mitch and no one else.
McConnell rides the Coat Tails of POTUS Trump to win his re-election then stabs him in the back!
All these “Senior Statemen/women” are the makers of the SWAMP. They are corrupt, power hungry and have no integrity.
We the People no longer exist in their sphere, we are just a means to their end.
All it takes is ONE senator, right?
Right now Rand Paul, in the Senate hearing, just stated that:
“The courts haven’t decided the facts. They never looked at the facts… The fraud happened. The election in many ways was stolen and the only way it will be fixed is by in the future reinforcing the laws.”
Disappointing…
Remember “THE SNAKE” !
Mitch McConnell enjoy YOUR last days in the SENATE your end in GOVERNMENT IS VERY NEAR !!!
Coming soon POTUS will adjourn Congress and fix it under our existing Constitutional RULES. Doesn’t need Congress, the Judiciary at all.
Constitutional way under POTUS Trump , “BEST WAY” !!! Also BYE BYE VaCHINA !!!
This is outrageous! I am from Texas and I did not vote for John Cornyn in this last election. I have seen, and heard, his vague resistance against Donald Trump and I think Cornyn needs to be replaced
Would this work?
Independent candidates don’t have primaries. (we could have a MAGA Independent)
Those of us in Open Primary states would vote in the Democrat primary to oust their incumbent. Or even register as a Dem to oust their swamp incumbent.
General we would all vote for the Independent against both Uniparties.
Come on folks we need to do something different.
