Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell blocked a bipartisan effort to enlarge the COVID relief bill to $2,000. President Trump supports the enhanced relief package. As a consequence, in justifying his maneuver McConnell did something we are all too familiar with. It is time to expose the Decepticon game again; this time people will accept.
[POTUS Tweet Link – Washington Post Link]
At first blush you might ask yourself why Mitch McConnell would block this bill and put the Georgia special election senate races in question. He just handed Georgia democrats an atomic sledgehammer. However, what most people do not understand is how McConnell works; being in the minority position is not adverse to his interests. McConnell operates with a Machiavellian strategy, so we will explain.
Senator McConnell said the $2,000 bill would be attached to two other POTUS priorities including (1) section 230 reform, and (2) a request for congressional review of the 2020 election fraud, both have been requested by President Trump. This is how Mitch McConnell justifies; this is how the GOP will defend his decision; the creation of a false dichotomy is how McConnell works. But watch what he is really doing.
McConnell admits in his floor testimony the three stage bill will take time to assemble. In essence he admits publicly the $2k, 23o reform and 2020 election review committee will take longer than the January 5th Georgia runoff. So he is admitting the toxic political issue of the $2,000 denial will exist to benefit the democrats in the race. Accept this.
Second, McConnell knows a second bill with all three elements will not pass the House. McConnell knows it is a pure political posturing exercise that will produce nothing, yet provide more justification for his blockage.
Once you stop being a battered conservative; meaning once you accept that McConnell knows he is creating a dynamic that supports the GA democrats; then you move to the question: ‘why would McConnell take an action that would put him in the minority?’
On its face the question seems absurd; however, it only seems absurd because people don’t understand the schemes in the upper chamber, the Senate, under Leader McConnell and Leader Harry Reid before him. The institution of the Senate requires a voter to understand the shell game. The pea is never where you think it is.
Defenders of the Decepticon schemes rely on our inability to understand a hidden agenda; a secret agenda… However, with more eyes now open this outline will start to make sense.
First, McConnell doesn’t care about holding a majority position in the Senate. Whether he is a majority leader or a minority leader doesn’t matter to McConnell. In fact McConnell’s political skill-set does better in the minority than the majority.
The preferred political position for Mitch McConnell is where he has between 45 and 49 republican Senators, and the Democrats hold the Majority with around 55. Of course with Senator Harry Reid’s retirement, this would now imply Majority leader Chuck Schumer holding office.
Why does McConnell prefer the minority position?
The answer is where you have had to actually follow Mitch McConnell closely to see how he works. When the Majority has around 52 to 55 seats, they need McConnell to give them 8 to 9 votes to overcome the three-fifths (60 vote) threshold for their legislative needs. It is in the process of trade and payment for those 8 to 9 votes where McConnell makes more money, and holds more power, than as a sitting Majority Leader.
The 60 vote threshold, and McConnell’s incredible skillset in the minority, is where he shines. Each of the needed votes to achieve sixty is worth buckets of indulgence to the minority leader and those on K-Street who need the Senate to support their legislative constructs. The votes to get to sixty are worth a lot of money.
This institutional dynamic is the currency of affluence and influence in the Senate; this is why Harry Reid and Mitch McConnell never changed the Senate rules for legislative passage. This is why the filibuster was retained and why the 60 vote threshold was always beneficial to both parties. The color of the flag atop the spire matters not.
Except for budget passage (reconciliation); and McConnell being forced by intransigence in the era of Trump resistance to change the judicial vote threshold to 51; McConnell would never consider changing the legislative threshold (60 votes) to a simple majority (51 votes) because it would be removing his favored position.
A simple majority vote is adverse to the institutional interests. That is why McConnell retained it during his reign as majority leader; as did Harry Reid before him.
The process of selling votes to the 60-vote threshold in the Senate is where the UniParty operates; and where the status of maximum financial benefit for the minority exists.
Currently, as majority leader with 52 GOP senators, McConnell needs to purchase eight or nine votes for each legislative priority.
Mitch McConnell doesn’t like being the purchaser, he prefers being the vote seller where his skill-set as a broker really shines. McConnell is much better at extracting terms for his vote sales, than being the purchaser for the votes of an intransigent minority wing. This is why the current Senate doesn’t pass many bills.
If Democrats were in the majority, and McConnell was the minority leader, we would see much more legislation pass because Schumer is a more well financed buyer (K-Street) and McConnell is a much better seller. Whenever we have this minority dynamic it always leaves people confused because few really watch what McConnell is doing.
McConnell takes his favorite 18 controlled GOP senators (Decepticons) and he brokers their votes on an ‘as needed’ basis. The eight to ten senators he selects each time get compensated in the process. McConnell rotates the financial beneficiaries on a bill-by-bill basis. As a consequence each of the 18 or so McConnell senators get quite wealthy over time, and McConnell gains additional power and influence.
McConnell decides who takes committee positions, those committee positions are worth money to K-Street purchasers of legislation. That’s one aspect to his power.
McConnell also hand-selects which senators will provide the votes to the majority to reach the 60 vote threshold. He uses a formula of favoritism, loyalty and studies the election cycles to determine who in his tribe will sell their votes and gain. That is the second aspect to his power.
If any of the republican Senators attempt to disrupt this UniParty business model McConnell excommunicates them from the legislative process; the best reference for the ‘excommunicado’ approach is former U.S. Senator Jim DeMint (R-SC).
Additional references for how McConnell operates this scheme as the Minority Leader can be found in the Corker-Cardin amendment which allowed the Iran nuclear deal/payments under Obama; and/or the “fast track” Trade Promotion Authority deal for TPP passage, again for President Obama’s maximum benefit.
In these two examples McConnell worked with Harry Reid to flip the vote threshold from two-thirds (super-majority) need to approve, to two-thirds (super-majority) needed to deny. They flipped the dynamic in order to give Obama the tools he needed for the Iran deal and the Trans-Pacific-Partnership trade agreement (TPP).
[SIDEBAR – Within TPP Minority Leader Mitch McConnell was again working on the priorities of U.S. Chamber of Commerce President Tom Donohue. McConnell and Donohue have been working together on UniParty trade and domestic legislative issues for around twenty years. It is well established that 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.
CoC President Tom Donohue represents Wall Street interests and supports: all multinational trade deals, open-border immigration policies, amnesty legislative constructs, and all of the issues that have generally irked common-sense GOP voters for the same period of time. [SEE HERE and SEE HERE]. Tom Donohue is the biggest lobbyist spender in DC every year, by a mile.
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] – END SIDEBAR].
Hopefully, now you can see how the business model within the senate is lucrative from a financial standpoint. Selling votes from the minority position is worth a lot of money. Additionally, the power dynamic is essentially even within this process. The majority holds political and financial power… and the minority holds enough political power to keep the majority in check (as well as mutually beneficial financial power).
For those who understand the dynamic the next obvious point is: what happens if Schumer takes the majority, eliminates the filibuster and takes legislative passage to a simple majority (51-votes)? This is, after all, what the far-left has promised to do.
From McConnell’s position if the Democrats are the party that changes the precedent for Senate legislative passage, he feels it will provide him ammunition to retake control in the 2022 mid-term; and he wouldn’t be the historic figure to have changed the rules.
McConnell counts on the GOPe machinery (RNC), the purchased and allied Wall Street media, and his K-street backers to assist him in getting back in power. The righteous donation requests from the political and financial class are always enhanced by the extremes and outrage. If Schumer kills the filibuster and takes the senate to a simple majority McConnell will weaponize the maneuver against his “friend across the aisle”.
That’s the way the Machiavellian processes work….
Shit like this is why I absolutely hate Mitch McConnell.
What a disgusting little man!
An unjust man is an abomination to the righteous, but one whose way is straight is an abomination to the wicked.- Proverbs 29:27
So Mitch must have a very negative opinion of you too as it says as much in the Bible..
Blood sucker. The kind that sees no reflection when he looks in a mirror.
Shit like this is why I hate ALL politicians.
REFORM IDEA
Term Limits – and little pay
I live in Montana – legislators have term limits – 8 yrs for the house and 8 years for our Senate, but it gets better. They meet for a few months every two years and they get per diem expenses. How much? $100 a day and about $110 a day for expenses – that gets you the Hampton Inn for a bed and Applebees or The Olive Garden for dinner. Our legislators go right back to work when the session is over – they need a full time job.
F you McConnell and my Harvard classmate Elaine Chou. I detest you both
And for the first time in his life, our governor is going to have to either get a job, or hook his suck to some other non-elective government entity. I feel so bad for the poor parasite. NOT!
…and why I loathe BarrASSo
Time to Recall him!!
But Kentucky loves this man, has been in office since 1984.
Maybe it’s mostly Kentucky voting machines and crooked election officials who love the man.
What can we as MAGA do to light a GRENADE under Mitch’s SWAMPY old posterior and make sure he knows it’s going to go off in a nanosecond if he does not pass $2000 NOW!?
Not much. He’s 78 and just won re-election. Ride out his final 6 years and retire. K Street will pay big bucks for his rolodex.
That’s a nice legacy.
NAILED IT^^^^^
I think McConnell is all too aware of what MAGA voters want, esp. with regard to COVID relief.
SD’s writing here seems to indicate that McConnell isn’t afraid of any grenade we could toss or light. There’s just no downside to his strategy…except, perhaps, an eternal downside.
He may be worried Trump will expose the fraud.
I enjoy Sundance, very enlightening. But kind of a one way discussion.
Senator McConnell was just reelected, and thinks he will be in office for at least six more years, and then maybe retire. But, if Trump is not able to retain the presidency, and Biden is inaugurated, things will deteriorate very quickly for the Republican Party, (and all of America for that matter.)
The Democrats, with help from the Globalists and Chinese, will basically weaken our country economically to a point where we will basically become Communist. In that situation, the whole US Constitution will be upended and replaced.
This outcome will be very unfavorable to Senator McConnell, because he will probably lose all his power, much sooner than the six years he may be planning on. Has he thought of this?
He has more money than he can possibly spend and no heirs. He.does. not. care.
He has three daughters by his first wife, who are all extreme liberals and activists. His first wife is a loudmouth feminazi.
The Democrats, with help from the Globalists and Chinese, will basically weaken our country economically to a point where we will basically become Communist. In that situation, the whole US Constitution will be upended and replaced.
Obama tried that for 8 years to tank the USA. Seriously, can you think of one thing he did that was in America’s interest? America is too resilient and I believe the days are numbered for the ruling class. The toothpaste is out of the tube and cannot be put back.
Agree….Sir
Obama didn’t release a bio-weapon.
Maybe helped finance the research. But didn’t release it.
The ChiComs didn’t even really do that much.
They released the illusion of a bioweapon, and our globalist cabal, in cahoots, ran with it.
A real bioweapon would kill a lot more than 1.5% of the population (or a lot less if one realizes how many deaths attributed to the Flu d’état simply were not).
It was an economic weapon that was twisted to destroy jobs upon contact.
The only thing that’s going to change what’s going on with Mitch, GOP, Republicans and the UniParty is a Giant We the People Enema and since our votes don’t matter anymore it probably has to be done another way! The question is do the people have the stomach for it or do they want to allow this to continue until we’re all locked in our homes, with no jobs learning Mandarin. It really is our choice.
I have read for several months/years many posters recommending that we vote out Mitch in the general election. That we vote out RINOS in the general election. I saw many posters claim Mitch was POTUS real enemy. They said Mitch and the RINOs were a bigger threat than the Dems. You wanna know what happened? Those posters were attacked and called trolls, DNC plants, and shills. Veteran members demanded they get off the site. These oldtimers said:
We must always vote the GOP ticket.
We must never vote Dem.
We can Always primary the RINOS later.
The people who told us to vote out Mitch were right. The people who told us to vote out the GOP were right. The people who are saying we should NOT vote for Loeffler and Purdue are RIGHT. What happened to those voices? I do not see them anymore. Did they leave? So if you don’t buy into the “keep the Senate” crowd you get snitched on. Is that the game? We better start heading Sundance’s advice. The GOP is no place for real patriots. Its certainly no place for me. I aint buying what Mitch is selling. I aint buying what the GOP is selling. And if I lived in Georgia I would vote Dem and stick it to those 2 traitors. So feel free to snitch on me, report me, and put me in double secret probation.
Did it occur to you that this way of thinking plays into Mitch’s plans? That he might want Purdue and Loeffler to lose, so that he can be in the minority? As Sundance has said in previous articles, Mitch does best in a slim minority, because he can “sell” senate votes to Chuck.
*has said in this article and previous ones
Do you see the pretzel logic?
The best revenge against Mitch is to give him the majority position because he does not actually want it??? That’s like getting back at a bad employee by giving them a raise and a promotion…
We need to work hard and fast to Recall him!!
You can do plenty!
Keep your focus on the one event that will upset this rubicon by helping to restore our rightfully elected POTUS Trump to a second term! Call/write reps and senators and keep the pressure on to correct and restore citizen’s lawful votes to be nullified by election fraud. Demand they object to electors Jan 6th and attend the rally if you can.Even if you can’t you can still keep the pressure on your reps.
Stay focused and keep going Patriots!
At our Republican meeting this evening in Polk County, NC we were informed that not only will our buses be in DC on the 6th. but we will also see buses from Henderson and Rutherford county. If you need a ride contact your Republican party in those counties. Senators Tillis , Burr and representative Patrick McHenry we may be at your office doors on the 6th. We already see that your recent votes support the Uniparty and not your constituents.
You can’t outbribe the Chinese…
Just like Biden, he doesn’t have to care about the voters, as he knows that it’s those who count the vote who decide, not those who cast the vote:
https://www.rawstory.com/2020/12/why-the-numbers-behind-mitch-mcconnells-re-election-dont-add-up/
So what – I am so tired of all he words, promises and unrealistic expectations. Here is the fact – we have lost our nation and no one man can change that and neither can we. Sundance, I do not mean to be on your case, I think you are informative and of a good heart and intention but it is time to face reality. YOU told us there was a traitor in the White House working against the President (AKA the guy who recommended all those people) yet you will not name him/her. I think it was Pence. I think Barr really was not “off the reservation” and I do not think Durham is going to succeed in doing one damn thing. As far as the DNI, he obviously can not even get the required product to issue a report within the time specified and the Supreme Court is not going to save the day. So talk about new parties, future elections, holding the line in the Senate with the Geaorga election is all BULL SHIT. Sorry I am upset but we have waited for 5 long years and in total – NO ACCOUNTABILITY just treason at the highest level and NO ONE seems to be able to call it out, end it and take retribution.
I am sorry but like I said I am scared and tired of words.
Murray I am afraid you are more correct than many want to believe. Most of us are pissed to the point of taking up arms to save our republic but are at a loss as to where to focus our anger. This means the situation is becoming more explosive by the day. At some point the powder keg will blow and who knows what the causal spark will be. It looks at this point as though the swamp needs to be nuked for us to even have a chance. We must give Trump all the support possible until the final play is over then if we lose them all bets are off.
I am ready – who exactly do we take up arms against. (trolls – this is called hyperbole to make a point).
More hyperbole
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Battle_of_Kings_Mountain
And Sidney Powell is hoarse.
Murray I agree….something happened to Sundance after that trip to DC. Then the threat to his site. Hope he gets his sea legs back.
Thought it was just me thinking that. What happened to the deep research? What happened to the gusher of information? Now it’s observations, platitudes and prayers.
Everything has been researched. Everything is out. There is nothing left to do but pray.
Sundance acknowledged that in July he realized in July that our country was no longer operating according to the Constiturion. The CTH has published a series of comments on the Constitution which has given us insight into where the end game was to be: President Trump has exhausted the Constitutional remedies to saving the ,Republic. President Trump has called for the militia to stop the insurrection on Jan. 6.
He told you today to suck it up and take control of DC by whatever means on Jan. 6.
As the solemn voice of reason, he could not explicitly say this, but I take it upon myself with the aid of help from Scotland, it is time to kick ass.
I have also made the same observation. Time outside the wire appeared to have been dangerous and quieting on the whole. Not sure my insights are anywhere near accurate but my “spidey senses” are like yours.
Your local law enforcement is your friend, and if they turn on you because the law tells them to, then not your friend.
So long as your locale–up to your state–can live without Federal largesse (may not be possible presently), you are free to a great degree. To the degree that you are bound, figure out what is good, what is not good, and work to separate yourself from the not good.
For example, the Bill of Rights. You have constitutional rights. Exercise them. Organize locally to recover those which have been stripped. Your greatest influence is local and lessens as you expand outward. Conversely, the Federal power is dilute at the citizen level. Your interaction amounts to federal taxes and what? The feds can go after you on tax laws and whatever else you have nexus with them. If in an extreme situation the Leftists raise federal taxes to punitive levels, you fellow state citizens will, to the degree you don’t live in a communist state, feel just as you. That will be a movement at the state level to resist federal overreach. For instance, the state could remove IRS and federal tax enforcement (FBI, Treasury, whomever) divisions from within the state so as to disallow federal enforcement of federal laws. Look at what CA did on immigration and ICE. It would be a devolution of some degree of federalism toward a collection of strong states less strongly bound to one another at the federal level.
This is just one aspect of what is to come if the communists collect power over the federal government. It’s also where citizens will be able to exercise their individual powers in a lawful fashion to recover elements of individual sovereignty.
This (above).
It is time to turn our attention to our localities.
LOL! Thanks for the Narcan dose to counteract the continuing Hopium overdose leading people to believe the system can be fixed via the system. They got it locked in, kids. A very large dose of fully informed voters might fix things, but our games and circuses addicted idiocracy has a very tiny dose of those.
PRAY.
I was just sitting here feeling the same way. We have had so much faith and patience. I see how much Trump has been able to accomplish but I am now feeling overwhelmed. Time is running short and things like this that are so obvious are no longer hidden, McConnell is emboldened. I don’t know what to think. I think back to “The Art of War”…appear weak when you are strong, and appear strong when you are weak. OK, so who is playing it better? There is no way to know. So much crime has gone unpunished.
Sorry for my little pity party, but I am in Georgia. I have spent the last 5 days at work listening to the, I am sorry to say, STUPID people I work along side. Two days off is not going to help me recover. It is so hard to know the truth, it is so clear, and have to sit there and listen to such abject stupidity. I have tried to talk some sense into them to no avail. It is hopeless. I keep telling myself that it is because I live in the metro Atlanta area and that the rest of the country gets it, that I am in a liberal pocket. It is so hard to live like this. I am stuck here and I cannot move.
I pray that our Great President has this. He has not failed us yet. I know that Mayor Giuliani having fought the mafia successfully as well as being battle tested having handled the aftermath of 911 as mayor of New York City is the right person for the job. But some days are just hard. I love my country with all my heart and I cannot imagine life without liberty.
My blood is boiling. I try not to hate, but quite frankly, I really hate Mitch McConnell. He is truly evil. Hell, the vast majority of our government is evil. I am so grateful for all those fighting so hard; General Flynn, Sidney Powell, Lin Woods, Devin Nunes, Jim Jordan, the Wolverines, all of the team at Judicial Watch, Sundance, and so many more. I pray we leave 2020 behind and usher in the new year with our great President in place and all of the scum in Washington exposed and on the run. With God on our side, who can be against us.
Seek our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ! He has comforted me through times like these. This country is more divided than ever via spiritual warfare, so seek the side of good.
Ephesians 6:13 ‘Therefore take up the whole armor of God, that you may be able to withstand in the evil day, and having done all, to stand.’
Murray,
The truth is there is easily more than one traitor. Sundance would have to construct a pretty long list. You might even find a family member or in-law on that list too. You see, the Trump family had a very nice life before this whole President thingy. Friends, cocktail parties, magazine covers, and NY society at their feet. Nice life as Potus often says. It must suck to be hated by all the movers and shakers that you once called friends. Of course some in laws could have debt issues and no way out. One in law actually went to prison. I guess when you are knee deep in debt its quite fortunate to be able to meet Saudi Kings and wealthy oligarchs ready to pitch in and help a brother out. Imagine being billions in debt and the black sheep of the family? imagine being a laughingstock? Oh well, just spitballing..
Probably the realization outside the wire was that the die was cast and President Trump was utterly alone surrounded by snakes. There are no faithful institutions. Trump is our great Hero and it will be a tragedy to lose him but we will have to survive on our own, leaderless. I now understand the invaluable contribution of Ivanka and Jared: loyalty. Thank you for your service. The country is much better off and many of US have become wealthy through our 401ks. That is power we can use.
Time to go after Mitch’s Chinese Communist Wife.
I think she is from Taiwan.
Well that’s totally different, then.
They have business and political ties to the Chinese mainland and the Chinese Communist Party.
As exposed by Michelle Malkin, the Chao family shipping is mobbed up with CCP.
Then she’s fair game.
There are plenty of pro CCP Chinese in Taiwan.
She’s Taiwanese and a cabinet member. Good luck with that.
Time to go after her father, the shipping magnate, that actually has ties to the CCP. The father gifted Mitch millions of dollars. Start there. Light the whole thing on fire.
But which agency is going to do that? State or Treasury are the only ones that seem likely, but Pompeo is not to be trusted. He’s been a stalwart of late, sure. He was also head of the CIA. During Trump’s administration. So there’s that.
Found in the bin…. 🙁
Things like this are why Mitch will get his just desserts in the end.
Will it be on our schedule, in our Justice system? Maybe, maybe not.
None will escape the Lord’s justice in the end.
why doesn’t God just reach down and take some of these old worthless POS back into happy oblivion and give someone else a chance??
man I’m tired of these rich old bastages gumming up the works!
For the same reason HE does not have a website!
Surely you’ve heard of Moses…
He was the first man with a tablet downloading from the cloud.
Sorry. I’m mad too, we all are. Just don’t turn your back on or give up on your Creator. HE has this.
I suggest you pray for an answer, instead of mocking the one and only God.
I fear a Biden presidency just like everyone else.
But what scares me almost to death is the Lord will tire of my sinning and turn his back on me and say He does not know me on judgement day and sends me to hell for eternity.
I hope you find your way home.
So in short, Mitch has a front seat in Hell. What a despicable soul.
When I was very young kid I was scared (very scared) of getting old, dieing and no one remembering me. Over it now but how would you like to go down in history as a traitor to your Country like Paul Ryan or Mitch. WOW! Disturbing!!
McConnell is similar to democrats in that whatever he does is opposite what we would do.
They are all on one team.
*(China) Bitch McConnell
Just one flaw in your argument: the 2022 elections are not guaranteed to be free and fair and McConnell surely cannot expect the Democrats to “assign” him electoral pickups.
I believe Mitch is in the vote stealing scheme and he can have a saying in who benefits from the theft and who doesn’t. He probably knows who “will win”
You hit the nail on the head. It is MMc whim I suspect who is behind dominion. That f’er is the real enemy in this.
I agree. I think that’s part of his power to keep others in line. They may not realize it’s from vote shaving, they might think it’s Mitch withholding money and endorsements, but he’s just been a tad too successful at it, know what I mean? Has he ever lost one he didn’t want, other than President Trump? Don’t think so, which tells me that’s too good to be true… or honestly obtained.
I get this, but if the Democrats abolish the filibuster McConnell loses all power and bribe money. The GOP becomes meaningless – probably forever.
I believe they have some kind of a pact between themselves. They are all really good friends.
The globalists need to maintain the pretence that your vote matters.
When you believe you live in a democracy, then you readily accept your rulers.
So, the democrats cannot dominate the vote. It will rotate with republicans.
That way, everyone feels appeased. Everyone feels that they have a say in how they are ruled.
Meanwhile, you lose more and more and more freedom.
That’s the globalist, mega-corporation game.
When the fillibuster stays
When the courts are not packed
When corporate taxes do not go up
When there is no free education or healthcare
Then the Dems will realize that there is a uniparty. That Nancy and Chuck are on Team uniparty. Jimmy Dore is spreading that message since he left the Young Turks. The true blue liberal is waking up to the fact that the corporation and war industrial complex get all the good stuff. And the working man gets nothing.
It’s a club. Probably rubbing their hands with glee thinking of the loot Joe will bring them.
Exactly.
I give you GA and control.
You maintain the filibuster.
Everyone profits.
Everyone’s happy.
Bingo!
The uniparty becomes Meaningless the Trump MAGA continue to take over the Republican party. You end up with 2 parties. ( Maga Republican and Uniparty). MAGA has 75 million supporters awaiting orders. There is lots of power potential in 75+ million patriots.
Turtle Turd is probably following his familiar path, or at least willing to walk down that road. Still, this assumes that all procedures continue to follow the same path, with a required 60 votes on select legislation. However, what is to keep the Dims from changing the rules once in power this time? Especially with a deadlocked Senate of 50-50? Changing to a simple majority is not outside the realm of possibilities. In fact, I suspect a lot of norms will be trashed so Dims can run roughshod on their aggressive globalist agenda. They will seek to eliminate all obstacles to their runaway train.
I despise McCondom. I wanted him to lose his seat for this very reason. I suppose another equally putrid body would take his place. So many compromised souls…the path toward to any meaningful governance seems nearly impossible.
Bingo!
Sorry to tell you, but it is time to get in the face of the dimms/antifa/DeepState/Rinos and say “Go to Hell” and let me help you.
May not work out well for Mitch this time. Weren’t the Demonrats threatening to kill the filibuster with the nuclear option should they take back the Senate?
Bingo!
It wont happen. Both wings of the uniparty love the fillibuster. they love the 60 vote rule. they love regular order. they love no budgets. They love omnibus spending bills. they love the current scotus. the liberals are getting an education that they were lied to.
If Republicans roll over like they usually do, there will be no need to go nuclear. They just “compromise “ and give the Dems all they want.
Why are you still focusing on normal order when the dimms/antifa have voided the Constitutional order?
I’m not in that camp myself (yet) but I can kinda understand where the ones are coming from who say “So give the Democrats a supermajority and make McConnell irrelevant”….. if they’re going to sink us anyway, why not take down one or two of them ourselves in the process…
President Trump needs to have the biggest turnout to overcome GA fraud and then the biggest turnout in DC history.
Very informative and eye-opening article. But I have a thought, or more like a rhetorical question….
What if someone held an election and no one (well, almost no one) voted for Republicans? What if Republicans were viewed as nothing more than the flip side of the Democrat Party coin?
Fear is the mind-killer. It paralyzes us and renders us unable to make good decisions. We must deny the Republicans using fear to control us. The Democrats will do whatever they want to regardless what the Republicans claim. We must deny the Republicans legitimacy and power. We must cast them onto the ash heap of history.
No more abused wife syndrome. No more putting on heavy makeup and large dark glasses to cover our bruises.
#WalkAway
It is one thing to walk away, it is entirely another to have your Nation and your rights, your very life and liberty, stolen from you.
Soon, so very soon we will know.
How much people value their liberties.
What price they will pay for that which is so precious.
I am not voting for RINOs anymore. I will vote Dem just to teach them a lesson. Funny thing is, that there is no difference in my life. It doesn’t matter if Mitch or chuck is running the show, i get screwed wither way. Same with Pelosi and Ryan.
Founding fathers went to war for rights of Englishmen.
If you think Congress is going to restore out Republic, your wrong.
Non violent disobedience, they’ll mock you.
Finally Three branches of government stole your vote, nulled your voice, confiscated your work, and violated our worship.
Now we have government of the government, by the government, and for the government. And Government will not judge its crimes.
To restore our Republic you have to remove Congress. Turn off the treasury trough snd deep rip K Street.
I’ve wondered about this as well. I think the far left would celebrate, but the uniparty left – Biden, the Senate, CNN would freak out.
They’d be really angry and worried that half the voting public were no longer playing the uniparty game and giving them legitimacy.
It dawned on me recently that the law only applies to the middle class the wealthy don’t have to follow any law as long as they keep their mouths shut or support the uniparty. The lower classes routinely break the law and 90 percent of the time are not held accountable.
Anyway, I’ve wondered if it’s not time for the middle class to stop obeying the law.
Seemed particularly good timing to bring up this quote.
There’s no way to rule innocent men. The only power any government has is the power to crack down on criminals. Well, when there aren’t enough criminals, one makes them. One declares so many things to be a crime that it becomes impossible for me to live without breaking laws. Who wants a nation of law-abiding citizens? What’s there in that for anyone? But just pass the kind of laws that can neither be observed or enforced nor objectively interpreted – and you create a nation of law-breakers – and then you cash in on guilt.

My retired colleagues and I have talked about this for years.
The middle class is shrinking ( by design.)
The wealthy don’t fear laws, or only obey the ones that affect them.
The poor, well many are God Fearing and decent folks.
However they get legal aid, and have little to lose.
Now the the working middle class..they have a target on their backs.
Our society is at a precipice.
Utter lawlessness in the good old U.S.A.
All in God’s time though.
God bless PDJT
The question is whether the “law” is legitimate, or whether you are being ruled.
Of course, if you disobey, there are prisons throughout the country ready to house you for years.
We imprison more people per capita than Iran.

“What if someone held an election and no one (well, almost no one) voted for Republicans?”
If they remove Trump with this current coup attempt that is what needs to happen. (we still need the stinking Senate right now, so Georgia matters, because Trump will need them for 4 more years)
If Trump is removed by this fraud then the GOP must be destroyed and their kind never rise again. Dems as well. All swamp crooks must go and we must organize and go after them.
Look at the BLM terrorists. There aren’t many of them. I don’t know… a few thousands? They have to be bused around because there aren’t enough of them. They get rented out from others states, it’s always the same paid society rejects holding pro-communist signs and terrorizing people. Look at how powerful they are. Imagine 80 million of us. Key is organizing. 80 million acting as one MAGA giant.
The swamp knows that, so they are already threatening to put Trump and his family in jail if they remove him from the WH. They know he can break DC and they will get him out of the way. It may be up to us, but we can do it. And if they go after Trump and his family, oh hell yes we must go after them.
Some are wealthy trust funders. Bill Ayers is younger than Soros but a spoiled rich brat that believes in Communism like Soros. A lot of Antifa are.
Brilliant.
As a matter of fact, I often ponder on what would happen if Repubs, an masse, joined the Democrat party. Throw them in disarray. Discombobulate the polsters.
Control their primaries.
They have used that fear effectively for many years. I got tired of holding my nose while I pulled the lever years ago.
This is why we need term limits!
And why we’ll never get them.
We need to get national voter referendums to force it. But that’s a dangerous game. Might get some goofy liberal referendums through. See California.
Term limits empower the staff who are almost always liberally inclined.
Whoop, there it is. ⬆️
More than term limits. As long as any new electee has to use the old guys ‘Staffers” to function, nothing changes.
And the impeachment …. bound to happen..
Would be under democratic congress house and senate..
And that suits Mitch to a t…
“McConnell and Donohue have been working together on UniParty trade and domestic legislative issues for around twenty years.”
Luke 12:16-21 KJV
And he spake a parable unto them, saying, The ground of a certain rich man brought forth plentifully: [17] And he thought within himself, saying, What shall I do, because I have no room where to bestow my fruits?
[18] And he said, This will I do: I will pull down my barns, and build greater; and there will I bestow all my fruits and my goods.
[19] And I will say to my soul, Soul, thou hast much goods laid up for many years; take thine ease, eat, drink, and be merry.
[20] But God said unto him, Thou fool, this night thy soul shall be required of thee: then whose shall those things be, which thou hast provided?
[21] So is he that layeth up treasure for himself, and is not rich toward God.
That is why we should pray for an Epiphany in DC.
The Epiphany in DC requires millions of people along with you to be in DC on the 6th. This is the last peaceful roundup. If you choose to stay at home you have to accept what will follow and what your role was in the results. This is not going to be your regular Pink Bow rally. This rally requires 1 to 2 million people completely visible blocking streets in DC.
Okay, say Schumer eliminates the filibuster. A lot of damage could be done in those 2 years, Also, the Democrats can “fix” the system in such a way as the republicans will never be in the senate majority again. For example, DC and Puerto Rico statehood, supreme court packing, etc. I don’t think it would be a wise move to allow democrats to attain the senate majority along with the house and the presidency.
Why would McConnell or most of the republican caucus care? They’ll still get paid.
Sure, still get their salary and expense accounts but not the real huge “payoffs”. McConnell would have nothing to sell anymore. Schumer has his 50 democrats plus Harris, or whomever is the veep after she, Harris, ascends to the presidency. He no longer needs to payoff McConnell. In regards to president “Harris”, the powers that be will remove Biden from office with the 25th amendment or the China connection.
That is the reasoning they have always counted on.
Didn’t Schumer say he was going to do away with the filibuster and wouldn’t that make Mitch even more irrelevant than he already is.
Manchin has said on the record he wont vote for it, FWIW
And you don’t feel he could be pressured bribed or threatened with the state of the left.
This is the Turtle’s farewell tour. He doesn’t care.
This is precisely why the GOP must be destroyed. I am not voting for Republicans if they remove Trump. the GOP will be over.
It’s all a game to them and we always lose.
The way they hold us hostage voting for RINOs is, using the false threat of Democrats destroying the country if we don’t. Well Dems are always destroying the country regardless of who pretends to be in charge. The GOP Senate moved out of the way so Dems could carry on the Russia Hoax for 2 years.
Primary is key. We need to organize and destroy these RINOs in the primary. But also gang up against Dems incumbents to oust them as well in the safest blue areas specially. Force those bastards to spend money and resources where they never had to before. No more safe seats. It will drive them crazy. It’s all about power. Their ego can’t take it.
Sure they will steal votes as usual, but now they will have to do it all over the country instead of 5 swing states. Good luck with that crooks. We are coming for you.
Here in Texas we need to go full attack mode against Cornyn in the primary. MAGA movement has that kind of power. We are 80 million strong if not more. We need to organize so we can act as one giant force. MAGA Tsunami.
Look the Rino list is wide. The question is what is the best path for Patriots?
Exactly. 40% of the voters in CA are Democrat – they have no chance of having a Republican on the ballot for senator – they should vote in every primary against the Democrat incumbent. Same in MA. MD, DE, etc.
Yep,
From perch I always thought a strategy was to go after a couple of RINOs mercilessly.
Like Alabama voters did to Sessions, and repeat the process.
Your RINOs are the worst..far worse than the Dems. Their schemes collapse and the world sees.
Sure there is pain, but the RINOS lies are torture, and are “a death by a thousand cuts”
Cornyn will have 4 or 5 hand selected challengers to dilute the primary vote and he will win again. Same playbook they always use and it always works.
In essence, he buys and sells votes to selective individuals he chooses. He is a true shyster!
I just assume Mitch has already agreed to throw the Senate just like Paul Ryan threw the House.
Nor would that little b*tch Kemp have installed the Dominion CheatWare without Mitch’s permission.
btw, Mitch used it to steal his own election. Couldn’t resist sampling the wares.
ps; those senators already won on Pres. Trump’s coattails.
And the beat goes on.
It begs the question: How can one single old, tired, greedy, corrupt individual be allowed to have this kind of power in this country? And why do we allow it? Are we afraid that the government will ruin our lives and /or our livelihoods? Are we afraid the government will send someone to threaten (or worse) our families?
Can you imagine Mitch just sitting home every night with a big grin on his face knowing that him and all his cronies are untouchable. Nothing happens to any of them and we just get to piss and moan on the internet.
There has to be a way that millions and millions of Americans can use the power of majority numbers against the corrupt minority in Washington. With so many brilliant minds out there, someone has to be able to come up with a realistic plan (with the backing of the American people) that can stop this insanity.
If Mitch lived next door to me, he’d be afraid to leave his house that’s for sure.
Mitch answers to his master; Chi na.
From McConnell’s position if the Democrats are the party that changes the precedent for Senate legislative passage, he feels it will provide him ammunition to retake control in the 2022 mid-term; and he wouldn’t be the historic figure to have changed the rules.
Assuming there are honest elections in 2022. Pelosi has round two of her election reform bill ready to go should the Democrats win in Georgia and Biden gets inaugurated. Much of what they did to steal 2020 will be codified by Pelosi’s bill.
Senator McCon-All is the best evidence of our need for term limits since…forever.
“Let’s just have his head on a pike and be done with it.”—Gimli, son of Gloin
“From McConnell’s position if the Democrats are the party that changes the precedent for Senate legislative passage, he feels it will provide him ammunition to retake control in the 2022 mid-term; and he wouldn’t be the historic figure to have changed the rules.”
Mitch is a fool if he believes that. If Trump is defeated, then the Democrats will not need McConnell and the rank-and-file GOP voter won’t need McConnell. They will get their simple majority and Mitch won’t be able to rally anyone in outrage because most will stay home.
He and the Decepticons will be removed from power and probably prosecuted, just to claw back that money that they stole all of their lives.
The 2-party show / charade will go on with rigged elections to sustain it.
No fool like an old fool.
So who are the 18 senators that Mitch can use for his schemes?
I’m guessing one of my senators, Roy Blunt is one.
Rubio, Thune, Barasso, Blount, Shelby, Murkowski, Romney, Sasse, Crapo, Portman, Inhofe, Toomey, Cornyn, Johnson, Ernst, Graham, Alexander, Burr.
Collins, Murkowski, Thune, Blount, Sasse, Romney, Tillis, Burr, Lankford, Alexander, Barrasso, Sullivan Toomey, Ernst, Cornyn, Graham, Moran, Portman, Roberts
Alexander has retired. Hagerty will replace him from TN. Even though he was Trump’s ambassador to Japan, most of us don’t trust him. He was GOP select.
The double not so secret probation Wuflu has begun in Colorado, according to the Epoch Times. The $2,000 train is just the beginning.
Very simple question. Why has Pence not made his position on his Jan 6th vote to reject the tainted electors? Why do we not know this? All else as Sundance says is “chaff and countermeasures” as no SCourt or legislature change or law suit can work in time and the executive order is nowhere to be seen. Jan 6th is the 11th hour of the 11th day of the last hope for this country as by 2024 it will be impossible to win another election.
Why do you think that it is smart to state your position in advance of making a decision?
Also consider this, the Dims acquire the Senate and with the house they already have, President Trump could be seated on Jan 20th and then the house moves to impeach him. It would be successful with the Dims being majority party of both houses. It just means President Trump would be ousted. Win – win for the Uni-Party.
So Pence would become President?
Why? Why would McConnell create all this controversy over giving the people the money…which is nothing to them who throw money around as if printed at will….after all the money thrown at the 2 Senators…campaigning why do all that if McConnell doesn’t care to hold the Senate? Is it just a beta alpha thing against PT to punish him one last time? PT has got to lower the boom….I hope he drops the MOAB on them ….we have got to crush them.
To sell your soul for filthy money when you know you will die in the future is about as dumb as it gets. But yet, these leaders do that very thing without even considering the eternal consequences. Amazing. Some may claim to be Christians and I fear Jesus will state that He does not know them at their judgment. I am sure Beelzebub is quite proud of his entourage.
Its like any other addiction.
I called every phone number available on Mitch and left polite but pointed comments on a damn answering machine
The last number I got a man named Jim. I was polite and pointed and told him that the Senators has to know that people are extremely upset with the election fraud steal. I talked on and on and he listened and said he would pass it on to the Senator and thanked me for being so gracious in my cold anger. These people are living in an alternate reality and we are not of any real concern to them. That’s changing and we can’t turn back, our backs are to the wall.
Bet the guy you spoke to doesn’t even make minimum wage.
Probably a call center in China.
What will they purchase with all their assets frozen a month from now?
One has to wonder if Mitch is “self taught” or if this ponzi scheme was handed down ?
Mitch represents the Crown in Senate. He answers to the Queen of England.
CCP
Oh, and Trump is going to have treasury cut the checks now – then make McConnell and democrats try to stop it.
What would it take for Patriots to take over Washington DC on January 6th? Not just show up but take over the halls of congress, their offices every where and throw off the corrupt while then literally set about running the place with Patriots in place, and not leave.
I know, crazy idea, right? Or, is it given it is our country!
It’s one of my fantasies. Pull them out of their offices by their hair and throw them out on the hill. Sometimes tar and feather is involved, too. I really can understand why people used to do that and I wish we did more of it now.
You are on to something that could speak louder than words.
Small town Republicans in Western NC have really organized a lot of people going to DC on the 6th. Tonight we put emphasis on this being peaceful but I am afraid that some of the people at our meeting would not need much of an excuse to change if things don’t go as expected. Many going in smaller groups are planning for a longer that 1 day stay if the vote is not corrected.
You are not alone in that train of thought. The storming of D.C….
What’s to prevent Schumer from removing the 60 vote threshold for ANY legislation? That would render McConnell obsolete.
Because they need the unwashed masses and peons to 2-party ‘system’ and something called a constitutional federal republic.
As the Reds say, the last Capitalists will sell them the rope they will use to hang them.
Bingo!
Why is Mitch the Twitch trying so hard to lose the Senate for Republicans?
Does anyone know how McConnell’s wife’s Chinese parents (oddly with English first names) managed to emigrate from China to Taiwan then to U.S. at a time when the U.S. wasn’t keen on immigrants… and how a Chinese merchant seaman son of middleclass Chinese parents who had just been through a civil war managed both to attend advanced graduate school in the U.S. and then start what rapidly became a billion-dollar shipping company? (Asking for a friend.)
Because the Chaos are CCP
B.S.
Do some research on what happened when Mao took over mainland China and how and why many Chinese people fled from the mainland to Taiwan including the Chao family.
This certainly makes the case for a 3rd, MAGA, party….
No, see Ross Perot. A takeback of the republican party is the way to go, for many reasons.
Who cares who gets rid of the filibuster? Especially if it messes up the Speaker’s game.
The rules of both the House and Senate are a farce.
When Schumer eliminates the Senate Filibuster rule he won’t need ANYTHING FROM MCCONNELL!
I’ve got this sense that the GOPe think things will return to ‘business as usual’ after a Biden inauguration. The model they rely on is that conservatives will always vote for the lesser of two evils. Therefore, in most contests between a Dem and a RINO any self-respecting flyover conservative will vote AGAINST the Dem. Has always worked in the past.
What I don’t think the GOPe have figured on is that if Biden steals the presidency, the GOPe will lose half their voters overnight. Deplorables will drop out of the bottom of the political equation. Many will simply not vote anymore. That is the feedback and sentiment I get from my friends. The upshot is, what will McConnell do when his minority is so small that the Dems don’t need to haggle with him anymore?
Exactly. Completely out of touch with American patriots
I can see the AOCs/ Bernie and other voters on the left going after the powerful in the Dem party.
They were promised communist paradise. Dems used them, if Dems are in control they will have no excuse not to go full blown communist, green new deal, concentration camps kinda of stuff.
If they do, they will lose the moderates. If they don’t they will lose the radicals. They owe the radicals favors.
I think Dems need Republicans holding Senate majority so they can pretend Republicans are in the way of the communist utopia the society rejects were promised. The Georgia runoff may already be fixed.
BLM/ Antifa terrorists destroyed the country to help Kamala and now they want their fair share and they want power. They are already publicly saying that.
AOC and her anti- America base wants Pelosi’s job and nothing less.
Twenty eight years ago an Eddie Murphy comedy lined all this out.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Distinguished_Gentleman
“McConnell takes his favorite 18 controlled GOP senators (Decepticons) and he brokers their votes on an ‘as needed’ basis. The eight to ten senators he selects each time get compensated in the process. McConnell rotates the financial beneficiaries on a bill-by-bill basis.”
And all of them take turns, when they are not part of the chosen 8-10, going on Fox to burnish their “conservative credentials” and show their outrage at whatever Turtle has cooked up. And we are all left wondering what the hell just hit us.
And if anyone thinks they are going to change this, well, I’ve got a very nice bridge, low mileage, I’d like to talk to you about. I don’t care where you go, every institution is populated by people, and we do this wherever we go.
Ahem …. I repeat
M – Good news. Mr. President. We have a deal.
P — Great! Lay it out.
[M describes the terms]
P – That’s terrible. You gave it ALL away. Everybody in the world gets billions, and Americans get a crummy couple o’ grand apiece? Have you lost your F’ing mind?
M – I know, but it was the best we could get. It was this or nothing.
P – Dammit Steve! I can’t sell this. Nobody can sell this. It’s unsellable.
M – Well, there IS a way.
P – No. I already know where you’re going with it. That’s the oldest con around. Banks have been pulling that crap for centuries.
M – But it’s already set up. It was Nancy’s idea so she’s on board. So are Turtle and the troll. Congress passes a bill with a number so lowball it pisses everyone off. We make congress raise it to the 2 grand, and Americans think they got something. No fingerprints on the lowball number, and everybody takes credit for the 2 grand.
P – I know the trick.
M – I’m afraid it’s the only way. They get two grand or nothing. You can deliver something for Americans, or you can stay a virgin.
P –You know you say that every time you bring me a bad deal.
M – I know. I thought I had seen it all. But these people you send me to negotiate with, all of them, well, they are just … vile.
Update: Senate Republicans look like they will kill the $2k for Americans by attaching 2 conditions, which they will then drop to make it look like a win. Happy New Year.
COC and special interest groups and the communist are the ones who put this together because politicians do absolutely nothing without their puppet master pulling the string.
Oh please. Review American history. American government has been corrupt since the beginning. Our founders had no illusions about human nature, so they built a system of checks and balances to keep the wolves busy.
Man is broken and flawed. We are not perfectible. We can try to live our own lives in accordance with Christ’s teaching, and communicate it to others, but in the end don’t expect too much. People will disappoint you. And we try to be charitable when they do.
Just as R and D are THE SAME, COC and slecial interests ARE Conmunists; NO difference. Do NOT be distracted by the ideological claptrap, designed to fool the masses, and infinetly maleable.
CONmunism is a CON, a massive CON. Only difference is instead of your $, they are out for POWER.
SURE, they WILL get your $, your liberty and even your life, but their goal is POWER, and it is an insatiable lust they can NEVER sate.
It is a mass CON, like a Ponzi scam, rather than a “take the $ and run” con.
And, like a Ponzi scam, it EVENTUALLY runs its coarse, about 75 years seems to be the longest anyones been able to keep it going.
Some call it “Neo-fuedalism”, which isn’t bad. They want to RULE over ‘the peasantry’ SIMILAR TO the Kings of the middle ages.
And, like those Kings, TAX EVERYTHING,but they go further. Why not just take over all businesses?
Could say its what you get, if the Mafia ran the Government.
“Nice Industry ya got here,…be a shame if something happened to it!”
Its a CON, hence CONmunism.
VOTE OUT all incumbent Republicans – NO EXCEPTIONS.
Problem is, voting don’t work no more.
We need something more concrete like maybe a few Star Chambers, if you catch my drift.
It will if we all do it. They can only steal so many votes. Plus, both Rs and Ds will have to steal in the general if we run our MAGA Independent candidate.
Then what? How are the crooks going to divide the stolen votes? Imagine Mitch versus a D versus our MAGA guy. Will BLM dump thousands of votes for Mitch?
Switch your voter registration to independent. The GOP will realize 70+ millions voters are gone. No more donations, no more volunteers. Dead party.
Their email list asking for donations will be very small, we will be gone. No more volunteers, less money = total failure. They can’t hide that. Donation is public information. Dominion can’t steal it.
They can’t fake that. Specially when our MAGA candidate has mass support, record donations and volunteers. We are a movement not a party.
