As noted yesterday, a simple COVID relief bill for American workers is really not a big problem… except it is… because the DC system is not structured around simply helping Americans first. The legislative machinery is owned by K-Street and multinationals who pay for the outcomes they alone create.
A people’s president, Donald Trump, cuts through the chaff and countermeasures:
President Trump wants congress to re-write the $900 billion COVID bill to provide $2,000 per person instead of $600 per person. In essence Trump is asking for a stand alone COVID relief bill for $2k/person, then drop the $600/person payment out of the pork-laden COVID relief bill and start that economic relief bill over.
This is not a hard issue to resolve. The only reason UniParty congress is fighting Trump is because the lobbyist and foreign government bribes are part of the $900 billion and will not pass the scrutiny of public opinion if standing alone. Once you see the strings on the marionettes you can never return to that moment in time when you did not see them.
Heavy sigh…
CTH often describes the background DC motives with the phrase: “There are Trillions at Stake.” Here we provide a reminder of what that really means, and how DC politics is not quite based on the ideas that frame many reference points.
With people taking notice of DC politics for the first time; and with people not as familiar with the purpose of DC politics; we end up within two different references. Perhaps it is valuable to reset the larger frames of reference and provide clarity.
Most people think when they vote for a federal politician -a House or Senate representative- they are voting for a person who will go to Washington DC and write or enact legislation. This is the old-fashioned “schoolhouse rock” perspective based on decades past. There is not a single person in congress writing legislation or laws.
In modern politics not a single member of the House of Representatives or Senator writes a law, or puts pen to paper to write out a legislative construct. This simply doesn’t happen.
Over the past several decades a system of constructing legislation has taken over Washington DC that more resembles a business operation than a legislative body. Understand this dynamic and you understand how politicians become multi-millionaires on much lesser salaries; and why ‘We The People’ are insignificant and annoying gnats to their business model. Here’s how it works right now.
Outside groups, often called “special interest groups”, are entities that represent their interests in legislative constructs. These groups are often representing foreign governments, Wall Street multinational corporations, banks, financial groups or businesses; or smaller groups of people with a similar connection who come together and form a larger group under an umbrella of interest specific to their affiliation.
Sometimes the groups are social interest groups; activists, climate groups, environmental interests etc. The social interest groups are usually non-profit constructs who depend on the expenditures of government to sustain their cause or need.
The for-profit groups (mostly business) have a purpose in Washington DC to shape policy, legislation and laws favorable to their interests.
They have fully staffed offices just like any business would – only their ‘business‘ is getting legislation for their unique interests.
These groups are filled with highly-paid lawyers who represent the interests of the entity and actually write laws and legislation briefs.
In the modern era this is actually the origination of the laws that we eventually see passed by congress. Within the walls of these buildings within Washington DC is where the ‘sausage’ is actually made.
Again, no elected official is usually part of this law origination process.
Almost all legislation created is not ‘high profile’, they are obscure changes to current laws, regulations or policies that no-one pays attention to. The passage of the general bills within legislation is not covered in media. Ninety-nine percent of legislative activity happens without anyone outside the system even paying any attention to it.
Once the corporation or representative organizational entity has written the law they want to see passed – they hand it off to the lobbyists.
The lobbyists are people who have deep contacts within the political bodies of the legislative branch, usually former House/Senate staff or former House/Senate politicians themselves. The lobbyist takes the written brief, the legislative construct, and it’s their job to go to congress and sell it.
“Selling it” means finding politicians who will accept the brief, sponsor their bill and eventually get it to a vote and passage. The lobbyist does this by visiting the politician in their office, or, most currently familiar, by inviting the politician to an event they are hosting. The event is called a junket when it involves travel.
Often the lobbying “event” might be a weekend trip to a ski resort, or a “conference” that takes place at a resort. The actual sales pitch for the bill is usually not too long and the majority of the time is just like a mini vacation etc.
The size of the indulgence within the event, the amount of money the lobbyist is spending, is customarily related to the scale of benefit within the bill the sponsoring business entity is pushing. If the sponsoring business or interest group can gain a lot of financial benefit from the legislation they spend a lot on the indulgences.
Recap: 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.
The important part to remember is that the origination of the entire process is EXTERNAL to congress.
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 you are voting for a Congressional Rep or a U.S. Senator you are not voting for a person who will write laws. Your 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.
This is the way legislation is created.
If your frame of reference is not established in this basic understanding you can often fall into the trap of viewing a politician, or political vote, through a false prism. The modern origin of all legislative constructs is not within congress.
“we’ll have to pass the bill to, well, find out what is in the bill” etc. ~ Nancy Pelosi 2009
“We rely upon the stupidity of the American voter” ~ Johnathan Gruber 2011, 2012.
Once you understand this process you can understand how politicians get rich.
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.
Exactly the opposite was true. All of the DC legislative briefs and constructs were/are antithetical to Trump policy. There were hundreds of file boxes filled with thousands of legislative constructs that became worthless when Donald Trump won the election.
Those legislative constructs (briefs) representing tens of millions of dollars worth of time and influence were just sitting there piled up in boxes under desks and in closets amid K-Street and the congressional offices. Legislation needed to be in-line with an entire new political perspective, and there was no-one, no special interest or lobbying group, currently occupying DC office space with any interest in synergy with Trump policy.
Think about the larger ramifications within that truism. That is also why there was/is so much opposition.
No legislation provided by outside interests means no work for lobbyists who sell it. No work means no money. No money means no expense accounts. No expenses means politicians paying for their own indulgences etc.
Politicians were not happy without their indulgences, but the issue was actually bigger. No K-Street expenditures also means no personal benefit; and no opportunity to advance financial benefit from the insider trading system.
Without the ability to position personal wealth for benefit, why would a politician stay in office? The income of many long-term politicians on both Republican and Democrat sides of the aisle was completely disrupted by President Trump winning the election. That is one of the key reason why so many politicians retired immediately thereafter.
When we understand the business of DC, we understand the difference between legislation with a traditional purpose and modern legislation with a financial and political agenda.
Lastly, this is why -when signing legislation- President Trump often says “they’ve been trying to get this through for a long time” etc. Most of the legislation passed by congress and signed by President Trump in his first term is older legislative proposals, with little indulgent value, that were shelved in years past.
Example: Criminal justice reform did not carry a financial benefit to the legislative bodies, and there was no financial interest funding the politicians to pass the bill. If you look at most of the bills President Trump has signed, with the exception of a few economic bills, they stem from congressional construction many years ago.
When you understand that any changes to this system will not be accepted by those who command power and affluence; when you accept their willingness to deploy government institutions around themselves in order to protect them from you; and when you realize they will use every system, including the ballot counting machines, to stop the American people from disrupting this corrupt system of self-aggrandizing elitism; you start to realize the diminished options for removing them from office…
Is that person evil, stupid, or both?
Yes
That, or ,a ROLCON,or a true glimpse of the opposition ….
Both!
Evil for sure. Doubt they are that stupid. They are cunning, deceitful, and above all, decidedly and willfully un-American.
But they are also a dime a dozen. You can find them on every MSM network news/opinion show, in every globalist-driven think tank, and across the globe.
They offer nothing new; just the same tired old ad hominem and false narratives.
They are communists.
They are not communists nor unAmerican. They’re supporting K street Lobbyist. Capitalism on our dime.
What they’re doing is NOT capitalism. Nor is it what the founders envisioned.
When K Street lobbyists write bills that benefit globalist and foreign entities far more than Main Street Americans, they’re unAmerican. Not sure what definition you’re using. But I’m not changing mine.
????????Absolutely agree!
I agree – it might be called “corporatism” but it is NOT “capitalism”…and if AOC and Bernie and the other progs would realize that and stop pushing “socialism” as the answer, we might actually be able to turn the country back to what the Founders tried to give us!
Quite accurately, it is Fascism – Big Government wedded to corporations. In this case it is multi nationals wedded to globalists, and I think perhaps, unlike traditional Fascism where the Government leads corporations, the multi nationals may be in charge. And Socialist ideology is the best way to establish control over the population.
If they succeed and eliminate cash entirely, then it will quickly evolve to a pure totalitarian global tyranny, mainly threatened by battles over who is actually in charge. ( China intends to be in charge)
Yes! But all of the people who have never been taught history or correct terminology continue to use the phrase “capitalism” and rage against it as the cause of all of the evil in the world…they are truly the “useful idiots” of this generation! (And they aren’t all millennials – I know a fair amount of people in their 50s and 60s who are just as ignorant!)
Carefully brainwashed about “businessmen” for almost a century.
Quote from 1957’s Atlas Shrugged:
“The man in Roomette 3, Car No. 11, was a sniveling little neurotic who wrote cheap little plays into which, as a social message, he inserted cowardly little obscenities to the effect that all businessmen were scoundrels.”
More like Mussolini’s corporate fascism/corporatism.
I think that’s called ‘crony capitalism’, aka anti American globalist who love money more than anything. Swamp critters who sold their souls to the devil for 30 pieces of silver. They will reap what they’ve sown.
I prefer the term ‘free marketeers’ to capitalist myself.
Their main goal is to make sure the average unaware person never sees anything about the hard evidence pertaining to the election fraud. The MSM and Big Tech have shut down free discourse and discussion. We have already entered into the first stages of a dystopia, if this doesn’t get turned around.
Well I think we can agree they have failed miserably trying that. Recent polls reveal the majority of Voters believe Trump won the election and that fraud has affected the reported vote totals.
The MSM are being steadily discredited by the alternative news media, blogs, individuals……. a huge and continuous effort to keep truth up in front of as many people as possible.
Spoke with an 82 year old neighbor who is half blind and mostly deaf and she wanted to talk about the election theft. The word is out; anyone that doesn’t admit it is either lying to themselves or you because they don’t care what they have to do to regain power.
—how about “calculating”?
Reading the headline it’s total gobbledy-gook… Both the writer and the reader are about what?
Its a good thing we voted Republican right down the ballot. Otherwise Mitch McConnell might have lost his seat and the Dems would be in charge. Thank goodness we have these honest Republicans controlling the Senate. What would have happened if we didnt have good ole Mitch and the boyz sticking up for us Americans? I mean Mitch and the boyz worked hand in hand with Potus pushing the agenda over the finish line. Muh judges. Muh Scotus. Muh Kavanaugh. Muh Amy /sarcasm.
NEVER AGAIN!
There can be no greater betrayal of the “Public Trust” whereby one’s own Senate Majority willfully defies their own Voters and colludes with the opposition party to defeat their own President! This IS NOT BETTER than having a Democrat Controlled Senate if the end result is EXACTLY the same! That kind of Betrayal is infinitely Worse.
You got that right!!! There were several people here who advocated that we bite the bullet and vote out Mitch and Lindsey. Vote Dem and get rid of them because Mitch and Lindsey were worse than any newbie Dem due to their Uniparty connections. OMG!!! The veteran trolls went after anyone who suggested anything of the sort. They told us Mitch was good on impeachment. Mitch was good on judges. Mitch was good on scotus. The Dems were commies. Those trolls were wrong. We had our chance to take him and Lindsey out. Now we have 6 more years of these corrupt rodents. And they have no fear of potus or us. The uniparty has taken off their masks.
Pretty sure Domnion and Smartmatic work both sides of the aisles. They are not partisan, they are globalists. Likely the globalists (foreign & domestic) are deciding who wins elections and who does not. Money talks. Mitch and Lindsey won by more than expected. Biden won 10,000,000 fake votes. Neither Mitch or Lindsey wont talk about election fraud. Go figure.
“They are not partisan, they are globalists.”
BINGO!!
I don’t see any of the “adjustable” machine manufacturers as having any particular agenda other than selling their product. It’s become obvious that there were kickbacks to the governors ordering them, but the “features” were up to those running the elections to implement. We saw several different approaches to the rigging, from vote flipping to offshore ‘adjudication’ to fractional counting.
The machines could be as honest as Abe if the operators so desired, or as crooked as LBJ. That doesn’t speak to any agenda on their part. What the powers did with the software made the difference. I see them as sorta like the big woodchippers – they can keep things looking nice, or they can dispose of political opponents……
We must repeal the 17th amendment. The Senate has made its role too powerful. It (senate)must be accountable to their states as was intended by the forefathers. The State legislatures must be able to select and recall their choices for senators.
Well the Republicans control the state legislatures and look where its getting us. The thieves need to fear violence at their door. That is the only thing that can keep them honest.
I whole heartedly agree. I am having a hard time with these 2 senate votes coming up in Georgia. First, it is the same corrupt voting system since the corrupt Secretary of State is allowing the ballot harvesting again. Whoever wins the outcome cannot be trusted. Second, both of the Republican candidates have proven themselves to be corrupt. I am told I have to vote for them to save the Republic. All they will do is vote how McConnell tells them to. He is openly opposing Presidents Trumps agenda. How is voting for them going to help! Yet I am labeled a traitor if I don’t. Help!
Hmm, ‘betrayers’… did they not vow to uphold and defend the Constitution? Betraying it, is that not what POTUS has been tweeting “Treason” about? Aiding and abetting our enemies? Gonna need more rope!
Doesn’t surprise me. The article is long gone, but I once saved the content of an article entitled “The Elites must rise up and take the power back from the people.” I read it thinking it was going to be conservative satire, but nope… they actually thought that.
It is still up, search Deep State needs to fight back. pops up
https://www.nbcnews.com/think/opinion/trump-s-election-lies-show-u-s-democracy-isn-t-ncna1249788
Not the article posted above – the article I was talking about called The Elites Need to Rise Up and Take the Power Back from the People.
Another 4chan link hidden behind this “comment image”? Why not just post the url so that ppl know where they are going? I really question your intentions/motives.
If you would, tell me what the picture is. I will not click on something that I have not idea where it is taking me. I agree with you about questioning their motives. It should be labeled as to what it is.
it’s a picture. hosted on 4chan. which unlike most “conservative” sites doesn’t pretend to be something it’s not, for money.
I object to the blind links that you use with no comment to describe it so save your snark for someone else. I don’t click on blind links as a rule.
More and more the general public will become aware. Thank you SD for assisting The Awakening. Patience in a immediate gratification world. Cannot make it to DC but will be in Tallahassee. God willing and the creek don’t rise.
Only a 7hr more drive to DC.
Wait, wut? You mean funding rape generals in Pakistan is bad foreign policy?! But the NYT said…
Right. Because the money that is funnelled back to American politicians originates with American taxpayers. We pay the bribes. The lobbyists and foreigners are middlemen.
One term is plenty for these clowns. And make them write their own legislation, otherwise why have a legislative branch of government?
But, but, but, what would K Street do?
Count trees? Just a thought…. 🙂
Most likely go back to strong-arming little old ladies who just cashed their Social Security checks. I think that’s how most of them started their “careers”!
Not only that, but they have money from the last “Covid relief” that is just sitting there unused and they asked for it to be redirected to the PPP fund for businesses for months, and no one, to my knowledge, has done that either.
Worthless pieces of crap.
I read somewhere the amount is 590 billion and would fund the 2K checks the President is asking for
This is one of the most important essays that Sundance has ever written and it should be shared far and wide across social and other media. This is the only place where I have seen the entire deception laid out and explained so simply that really anyone can understand it.
I myself had no idea about the law making process even though I have been a “political junkie” for years. Who knew that our “legislators” weren’t the ones writing the laws? Not many of us, that’s for sure.
I am forever grateful for somehow finding the incredible Sundance and the Conservative Tree House. It never ceases to amaze me what treasures are found here.
Many thanks as always and I hope we have all of God’s blessings in the coming New Year.
When I worked in the Hill “way back” in the 80s, we had a legislative counsel’s office that drafted language. And staff, usually committee staff, would draft language as well. Leg. counsel would check to see which laws would need to be amended, which committees had jurisdiction, etc. Sadly, this wasn’t that long ago, and it’s already “quaint.” Lobbyists have long been drafting their own amendments and bills, but apparently they alone run the show now.
I really appreciate the sunlight on the money laundering practice. Makes total sense. Probably Hilary’s “model” for the Clinton Foundation shake-downs she threw at the foreign dignitaries she met while SoS. It all makes total sense now thanks to Sundance!
The question is, how can we ever stop this practice as the ones benefiting from it are the ones who would have to vote to stop it. In the senate alone, how do we find 51 good men and women. How do we find 51 Donald Trumps or more if it takes a 2/3rds of the senate? Then there is the House.
It really does needs to be all brought down. People have to go to jail in order to change the system. As bad as this could get is there any other way? I do not see one.
indeed. agree with every single point you establish.
the truth sets one on ropes.
it does not set one free..
action sets one free.
this is the truth about the “old” adage. It’s inspiring ..sure..but truth does not set one free…there are additional steps involved.
truth is….fleeting…one must seize it, and USE IT!
God Bless America
we are still in this fight.
we will always still be..in this fight.
Sundance, may I have permission to forward this brilliant piece to my Senators
And representatives ?
Kinda makes one wonder what their legislative staff do. Conspire with the lobbyist I suppose.
Yes, this is a great article. He has written about this before but this is more focused and clear. I have already forwarded this on to others. This really give you a great frame of reference for what is going on. This is why I come here, I have learned so much, as heart breaking as it is.
Outlaw PACS
We are desperately in debt yet we’re giving money to other countries??? How do these people in charge think this is ok?
Our government “somebody else’s money: mentality at work:
https://danfromsquirrelhill.wordpress.com/2020/12/26/amtrack/
They intend to break us in all ways possible. Obama doubled our debt remember and now we have Nanzi and friends still spending like drunk sailors and just as many pubs agree.The largest expenses are dem sought social programs, SS, medicare etc, and they want more folks using them.
To answer your question directly, the people in charge thinks it’s ok because they are getting 20% kicked back to them and their cronies. That’s OUR money, but as long as they get a cut, they have no problems sending OUR money anywhere else.
Don’t worry Scarlett, We aren’t giving much money to other countries. Most of it is recycled back to our Congress in kickbacks.
From us to the legislative branch:
“So what would you say you do here?”

Such a great quote. I’ve used that often in actual work spaces.
The slime merchants of K Street are covert: nameless, faceless, and unelected. Yet it seems that they actually run this Nation, with UniParty pols the mere vehicles. Between the lobbyists and the complicit media, who needs foreign enemies?!
Yes and many Congress critters have family who work on K street.
Well, I wouldn’t go so far as to say they “work.”
Perfectly stated. Sums it up in one paragraph. It is the globalists vs the People. The liberty tree needs a lot of watering.
Its like ticks and leeches. One tick cannot kill a horse. With the analogy being money sucked out of the system. A thousand ticks however can. Slowly the dear lady US is being sucked dry.
RATM? Did someone say RATM?
Now you do what they told ya

This song has been playing in my head for quite some time now beginning with the continuing COVID-1984 lockdowns and has only gotten louder since the wee hours of 11/4.
I like the Rockin 1000 version. I’ll put it up in the general thread for today.
Thanks, I think that I’ve heard it, but not certain, I’ll go check it out.
I had the original of the that album when it came out. Had the Buddhist monk that self immolated himself in public.
They’ve fallen though, wokesters of the worst kind now. You’d think them being totally against the government, that Trump would be their man. But nope, supportin’ the system like the sell outs they are.
How do we hold our Senators accountable. We can’t vote against RINOs we lose the Senate.
We try primaries they out spend the good guy.
What can we do. They use t h e first two years of our Presidents term obstructing his agenda. They prevented his appointees. Now they all agree Biden should get every appointee.
Get involved in your local election board. Start working the polls. Keep it as honest as you can at the precinct. Work every election. I’m not talking about watching – I mean actually do the work, be the manager or the clerk (or whatever it’s called in your state.) Most those people are volunteers for that day only. Get into the local Board of Elections that way. Aim for a permanent job with the Board. Become a Commissioner, or work in the office. Know someone tech-savvy? Get them a position as a tech for the machines.
You want your vote to count again? Go to the source. Start working with the machines, with the people, who count the votes. That’s the only way to take back our elections.
You are 100% right- all politics is local. The best thing we can do is to take back the Republican party, seeing as how, thanks to our President Trump, we already own it.
I would love to get a job as Elections Commissioner in my NY county- the two of them make over $100K per year for a part time, no show job.
Seneca – you are so on the money today!!!
This is exactly what is needed as a plan to take back the GOP. It is what Soros does wherever he goes. e.g local elections are traditionally low turn out – even here in BC, where I live. So this is where Soros takes aim with his money and organization and voila you have what happened in your 2018 mid terms, and here in Vancouver we have Tides Foundation setting all policy.
I hope that PDJT, on Jan 6 has a call to ‘arms’. Sort of like JFK asking for a peace corps army.
This is not a rehearsal.
Local is the way to go. It’s the same way you get rid of the Rinos. You have to get involved with your local party and support both financially and volunteer work the challenger in a primary. It can happen if enough people are willing to do the work. If not, nothing will change.
I would say you do not need to do this everywhere, just Detroit, Milwaukee, Philadelphia, Harrisburg, … The usual suspects. I wonder if getting in there as election worker is volunteer or whether they are hand picked.
EVERYWHERE. Elections are not only important in the high-fraud areas, they’re important everywhere. If you want any voice in your government, get involved in your local elections now. And I’m not talking about party – that’s something separate.
Pretty much the entire Republican Senate is doing nothing to reflect the will of their own voters. Additionally, by not helping their own President they are then helping the opposition party remove him. A Majority that does these acts is more evil than the actual opposition. Such acts are those of Traitors; “that” kind of majority can never be of any “good” if they are allowed to commit the worst possible act that can ever be committed in Politics.
How do we hold our government in control? Remember taxation without representation? They are representing themselves and their masters, not us. After this election it is obvious we do not choose our representatives. It’s time for a modern day tax revolt. I’m not sure they can throw us all in jail. If we do nothing we will continue to get the same representation, which is none.
We start or contribute to a serious “Repeal the 17th Amendment”movement with the awakened 70-100m Trump Army.
well I think the best thing is to have about another thousand “prayers” and think of cute names to call the crooks.
don’t under any circumstances march on Washington DC on January 6.

The national media is going into overdrive with their unified mantra that POTUS is single-handedly holding back COVID relief. Meanwhile, his post referenced above has more than 320,000 likes.
The public understands that POTUS is at odds with the corrupt legislative establishment and he actually finds some common ground with not only the true fiscal conservatives but also the far left who are pushing for a clean bill.
President Trump beats em’ like rented mules every time. That’s why they want him gone. They want their kickbacks and overpaid salaries too. They want a dementia riddled president who will sign whatever they want, as long as the “big guy” gets his cut. They have not yet realized 80+ million citizens voted for President Trump, not them. Last I looked, President Trump is supported more than Congress by a factor of 3+ (50% vs 15%). IMO, they have counted their chickens before hatched. Can’t wait until they find out he is still President for four more years. They continue to underestimate President Trump’s resolve. Of course they have only had wimpy presidents since Reagan,
Okay, so I get how it’s “usually” done. But what happens if a member of John Q. Public approaches one of the semi-decent chaps up there with a two-page (or two-paragraph) bill and says “Dude. Sponsor this.” Is there a process for that? Show up in the office and wave the paper under the flunkey’s nose? I mean, does it have to come from K-Street, by law? Or is that “just how it’s done”?
Could we, for example, have some enterprising Californian (lawyer) write up something gob-smackingly simple and send to Devin Nunes?
There are no rules specifying K-Street, or any other entity for that matter, though it rather seems there’s this Constitution thing laying about somewhere that implies our representatives are supposed to play a role in the process . . .
Oh dear, there’s far far more important events happening than Cv “relief”.
Sorry President Trump, when China and other rich special interests buy American congressmen, they stay bought.
Against individualism, the progressive conception is for the state; and it is for the individual only in so far as he coincides with the state. Progressivism conceives of the state as an absolute, in comparison with which all individuals or groups are relative, only to be conceived in their relation to the state. The Progressive conception of the state is all embracing; outside of it no human nor spiritual values can exist, much less have value.
The foregoing is verbatim from Benito Mussolini, with the only exception, and it is a very slight one, being that Benito Mussolini used the word fascist instead of the synonym progressive.
True about Mussolini.
A lot of posters have mentioned him and I keep thinking about how the guy ended up.
Not pretty, and should really not be where our elected reps want to be headed either.
I saw a meme think on Gab. Where all politicians should be made to dress like NASCAR drivers. With sponsors names all over thire outfits. I bet Red China would cover 90% .
Yes, and they get to keep all that money that is given to them for campaigning win or lose.
NASCAR drivers advertise for their sponsors, but they don’t sell the advertisements, the car owners do. Politicians attempt to sell their votes to the highest bidder on an extortionist basis. The more the bill means to the sponsoring Corporations, the higher the price for the sale of the vote. NASCAR sponsorships only pay off if the driver wins the race, but politicians get a payday for every vote they cast, no matter how the vote comes out.
. . .and Big Tech and the US Chamber of Commerce would cover their cars.
once you understand the game is rigged there’s no question who the winner is
most citizens are to lazy to ask the question much less act when they know the answer
Excellent, should be required reading for any Patriot. Understanding your ‘true’ enemy and their source of power is job one.
The Congressional porkers haven’t even waited for an expected new administration; they are acting on the belief that PDJT can’t do anything so they can begin the feeding frenzy early, in anticipation of the Harris/Biden regime where pent-up demand for American blood-letting will burst forth to sacrifice all things American.
The Uniparty just doesn’t get it; they are at the end of their road and their world will soon come crashing down around them.
Time to march on Washington because there will never be another fair election. If Trump can’t overturn this madness, we will have to.
Please, let it be so.
No doubt it is coming to an end, there is no other reason for them being so brazen and open about it.
Sounds like it will take a revolution to stop the corruption. Trump could make it happen.
President Trump has not only shown up the selfish and self centered Democrat politicians but also the selfish and self centered Republican politicians. This is why I have despised politics for the past fifty years. This probably helps explain the hatred of him by those who have enriched themselves through politics. However, much to their dismay every single one of them will face the fearful day of reckoning when all their wickedness will be exposed.
Zero Americans should have a problem with our government using our dollars to help our citizens..
Period.
Full stop.
i am printing this for my smart grand daughter who thinks shes a lib…what a great discussion we will have!
Our UniParty reps at work for the People! ??
The march on Washington always bypasses K Street, but shouldn’t the most vociferous protest be precisely attuned to that thoroughfare exclusively?
K Street ?Isn’t that ryan’s new address?
Not this many RINOs flushed from the Bush since an Ernest Hemingway safari.
There you go sir.
I want that video viral – the first day you pointed out the Lyndsey Grahman squint eye to Rob approving the coup, while blaming “low level people” and not Rob — was the day I saw the Uniparty so CLEAR

sigh. It’s so frustrating. If the anarchists and the patriots ever stopped shouting at each other long enough to sit down and compare notes, they would see we are all being divided up and screwed over by the same bunch. And if that moment of clarity ever happens, hooboy will there be some ugly raging hell to pay.
Reminds me of a day long ago in Aspen. My wife and i were riding in a gondola with a couple guys and they were going on about their ‘arrangements’ That they sat in on a ‘seminar’ each day at 7:30 AM for an hour (no attendance signatures necessary) and then could ski all day and all free since they were invited as valued guests.Ttoward the end of the ride, they asked what we did and I answered that I was with the fraud investigative unit of the IRS! Made my day!
Those of you in the medical profession are familiar with this Legislative concept with the way Big Pharma (Pharmaceutical Sales) works promoting new Patent drugs. Wine, dine, and free Ski Aspen trips was the way to get doctors to prescribe the new drugs. This is why Pharma reps could always walk into Doctors office that you were waiting 30 minutes past your appointment time and get right in. Washington and State politics work the same way. You will never in your life realize how much You have been sold out for a Free Lunch. (Some politicians are stupid easy to sell a line to) When they realized that I could not be bought as a politician I was given Hot Dogs and eventually voted out by being out spent and fake stories in an election.
Cheap whores all of them.
Jeepers Seneca! How do you really feel? 🙂
Some people learn the hard way that nothing is ever really “free”.

there are some that say the credit default crisis was created to consolidate banking power..money.
there are some that say that C-19 virus was created to consolidate ALL OTHER POWER.
these “some” may have a few facts not well established, but it is absolutely true what we ARE WITNESSING IS THE MOST RAPID CONSOLIDATION OF POWER EVER IN THE HISTORY OF HUMAN LIFE.
And not one shot was fired. not one.
yet.

Sundance, can’t email you for some reason, you have probably seen it if not Sidney has dropped some kracken, go get it before it’s gone.

I will never understand for the life of me why Sidney Powell is getting the Galileo treatment. She is brilliant and loyal to a fault. I hope and pray that our President is listening to her.

POTUS is not getting with the program.
He was an outsider president – and once in, he was suppose to Bush, Obama, and Clinton it… play the America People and be glad he made it into the Club.

This is unsettling to me. Frankly, it scares me to think that our President is being held captive and unable to do his job. Sidney Powell is a patriot and I have no doubt he wanted her on his team and is being blocked from doing so. I also want to know if Giuliani is in on this. That would be even worse. He has stated that it is all coming down quickly after Christmas according to the Gateway Pundit.

Is this true or more just kicking the can down the road until time runs out. I trust President Trump, I trust Sidney Powell, and I trust General Flynn and not many more. I would hope that General Flynn addresses this issue soon so that we can find the truth ASAP.
Elect? Not in our third-world, coup-type election like we just had and have probably had in previous elections. Until our elected officials recognize the fraud and want to do something about it, our “elections” are and have been a scam. The uniparty elects through the scam election who they want to elect, Republican or Democrat, if they plan correctly. Donald Trump is the one person who they did not plan correctly on. They were not going to make the same mistake in 2020.
Pretty much sums it up…
“I want everybody to see how hard this is on me”
Yep ??
This guy is great.
The police will always enforce their orders. It does not matter what they are.
I support the police, but if they’re told to stand aside while mobs savage you they will.
thats why shutting the government down will stop the paycheck and MAKE EVERYONE agitated…
shared hell. shared caring, shared feeling.
This is so painful to watch. It’s unbearable. I could not watch to the end. There are many non-government workers able to hammer out a living. But watching the poor soul trying to negotiate with “the health department” breaks my heart. Pelosi needs to go. Pelosi and so many in Congress are responsible for all this pain and suffering.
When other cops get there, he goes to move his truck about halfway though the video.
He moves the truck forward a few feet to more completely block the car. 🙂
This video is more than real, it is truth at it’s finest! You want a forest, you want crops…it all begins with a seed, the seed of imagination where one begins with a dream and works to make it happen. There are no crops when you kill the young plants, chop down the new trees or abort the young.
Goverment employees suck the toes of their masters because they get a paycheck from taxes, the health inspector is the same as the Nazis who worked the ovens during WWII who then goes home and celebrates Christmas with his family.
The cops should have told the inspector to leave that area to avoid serious trouble. The business owner should have gotten other local street owners to come out into the streets, armed to the teeth and run every government person off the street with cameras rolling.
That would create a news story for everyone in America to see. And congress plays games with $600 for us but millions for other countries. Kick us in the face long enough and we just might get up off the ground and give back what we have gotten from these gilded fools!
This video is more than a heart breaker!

It looks like the WH staff are blocking attorney Sidney Powell’s access to President Trump, and his appointment of her as a White House ‘special counsel’ to look into election chicanery.
So, I guess we’re assuming Donald Trump is now a potted plant?
That’s what I was thinking to although you said it far better than I could. Either he’s his own man or he’s fooling everyone. My Pres. is the one with the say in every decision. He is the boss over his staff. The buck stops with him. If he wants Sidney to be there, she will be there. Imo. Something weird about this whole issue.
A certain unnamed writer refers to “President Kushner”
Congress should have passed a relief bill for $2000 to be paid every month since March 2020 to every American who became ill, lost their job, business, or suffered another form of hardship due to COVID.
The bill should have been sent directly to China and every politician who continues to take kickbacks for influence.
In the beginning before we knew how bad that the DeepState/UniParty was going to make it for us, I think Talaib suggested this.
Confiscate Chinese assets for this
Much like Iran’s assets that were confiscated

I have never been to a Trump rally. But by God on the 6th i will be present. I don’t care anymore at this point. You bastards called down for the thunder and now you got it. I am coming with friends who have never been to an event either. See you all there and have no fear of blantifa. That ain’t gonna fly. We have reached a point of no return. Time to walk across the bridge or keep sucking our thumbs. It’s NOW or NEVER
Bring tar and feathers.
Not only should omnibus bills be unconstitional but misleading titles or names for any bill originating from Congress.
As for what to do with Congressional Pork, how about all 50 State Legislatures most vote unanimously before any kind or type of Congressional Pork can be successfully passed in Congress
If we ever have a Second Constitutional Convention in this country, the convention attendees should be reminded of this important demand.
My vision of a new Consistion would be one where the State Legislatures would have more power in this country rather than Congress, itself.
Anything involving US taxpayer money would need unanimous consent from all 50 State Legislatures.

This article is such an education for those who now only sense something is off-kilter in DC but have only had memories of their high school education on how Washington D.C. works alongside the never ending media propaganda.
Saving it to share when any friends or family members start asking the right f’n questions. It might or might not be too late for some, but there will be more who awaken along the way.

I obviously don’t know how to copy, but please reference the movie. It’s about Congress never reading the bills they promote and vote for. Very interesting.
Apologies for not knowing how to get the description in the link. And posting it twice. Someday I’ll catch on and be more computer savvy, I hope. ?

It comes down to this:
it is Trump and the taxpayers
versus
THEM (Congress, Courts, Government agencies, and everyone who eats from the tax payer trough)
This is a nightmare. The “THEM” are insatiable, they are crazed spenders, thieves, do-nothing takers. They are a dark hole that sucks life, money, businesses, health, children, everything. We really are at the brink of complete disaster if Trump is not re-elected.
Something just dawned on me. Remember after Trump won the election in 2016? One of his first press conferences he said “I won with the largest electoral college vote total since Reagan”
Or something to that effect. And as we know, that’s not what the election results were shown as after 2016.
Was that VSGs first tell, that he was monitoring the elections in real time somehow?
I always took that as Trump hyperbole. But with everything that’s going on, it just hit me like a lightning bolt. Has he known about the voting machines since his first tweet about the 2012 election, and somehow been monitoring them??
Something to ponder I suppose.
