An interesting, insightful and accurate article from Christopher Bedford in The Federalist [SEE HERE] outlines how Mitch McConnell delivered his impeachment floor speech as a ploy to destroy the MAGA movement. Bedford notes how Senator Lindsey Graham even outlined how McConnell’s attack was purposefully written and delivered to give any Democrat opponent in 2022 ammunition against Republican senators up for re-election.
However, what Bedford and Graham did not directly speak about is: (a) the historic pattern within exactly what Mitch McConnell did; and (b) the motive for him doing so.
Several DeceptiCon senators have already announced they will not run for re-election in 2020 [Shelby, Toomey, Burr, Portman and Johnson]. In the 2022 Senate races there are 34 seats up for grabs. 14 are held by Democrats and 20 are held by tenuous Republicans. [Breakdown Here] Due to vulnerability, their lack of support amid the republican base, and their insufferable 2020 behavior outing them as DeceptiCons it is almost guaranteed the GOP will lose seats in the 2022 mid-term election. Those exiting senators, among others, know what McConnell’s objective is. They also know this time the damage is far greater than previous times McConnell set about to destroy the base of the party.
Most casual political observers have absolutely no idea how McConnell works. However, for over a decade CTH has been trying –mostly failing– to awaken the base of common sense voters. In 2010, 2011 and 2012 the #1 priority for McConnell was to destroy the threat represented by the Tea Party. In 2022 we are seeing an exact replay of the same intents and purposes, only this time the target is President Trump’s MAGA movement.
It is a motive and agenda all wrapped up in the senate power structure. McConnell does not fear being in the minority; the color of the flag atop the spire of the UniParty senate does not matter to those underneath it. McConnell maneuvers with just as much power in the minority as he does in the majority; factually, he makes more money selling his DeceptiCon caucus votes to Chuck Schumer (on behalf of Wall Street) than he does in the majority where he is forced to purchase them. The entire thing is a rigged-game.
THE FEDERALIST – […] “So what’s all behind this? After four years of yelling “MAGA!” while pushing his own classic, corporate Republican policies, McConnell had hoped to rid himself and his conference of the conservative populist nationalism the former president had championed and go back to the way things were.
He wants a return to promising to tackle illegal immigration before winking at corporate America that nothing will change. He wants to raise money on fighting the abortion of our infants while comfortably lifting nary a finger. He wants to shrug and change the subject when asked about men dominating women’s sports and using women’s bathrooms. He wants fewer taxes and more wars. Hell, he wants someone to blame for the Republican losses in the Georgia special election, and with them the loss of his seat at the head of the Senate.
Instead, his push to impeach ended with rebuke from his own conference. Angry and embarrassed, he blamed his own colleagues as well as the former president, performing a 20-minute attack ad for the left to use on Republicans for the next election cycle and beyond.” (read more)
Through his power structure, McConnell directly controls about 8 to 15 republican senators; we have called them “The Decepticons” for years. [Cornyn, Thune, Porter, Blunt, Portman, Burr, Barasso, Crapo, Murkowski, Gardner, Roberts, Sasse, Tillis, Rubio, Graham and Romney]
McConnell has a well-used playbook he deploys to retain power at all costs and select candidates that will be indebted to his Senate schemes. Senate candidate Doug Collins was up against the same Mitch McConnell machine readers here are very familiar with.
To remind ourselves how Minority and Majority Senator McConnell took down the threat of the Tea Party revisit these old articles: CNN Part I and CNN Part II both showcase how McConnell works. Then do some research on how McConnell worked with Haley Barbour in Mississippi [SEE HERE].
For those who follow the deep weeds of politics, McConnnell’s schemes are brutally transparent. For the remaining 97% of the voting electorate, they still don’t understand how the UniParty works. Decepticon leader McConnell doesn’t want the American electorate to see purchased senate republicans voting NO on border security.
Consider Senator Mitch McConnell telling the President of the United States that he had “excessive expectations” because President Trump doesn’t understand how things are done around here:
“A Congress goes on for two years. Part of the reason I think that the storyline is that we haven’t done much is because, in part, the president and others have set these early timelines about things need to be done by a certain point.”
“Our new president, of course, has not been in this line of work before, and I think had excessive expectations about how quickly things happen in the Democratic process.”
That rebuke irked President Trump, as it should. President Trump responded via twitter: “I don’t think so”…
McConnell must preserve the trough – Corporations (special interest group) write the legislation. Lobbyists take the law and go find politician(s) to support it. Politicians get support from their peers using tenure and status etc. Eventually, if things go according to norm, the legislation gets a vote.
Within every step of the process there are expense account lunches, dinners, trips, venue tickets and a host of other customary financial way-points to generate/leverage a successful outcome. The amount of money spent is proportional to the benefit derived from the outcome.
When a House or Senate member becomes educated on the intent of the legislation, they have attended the sales pitch; and when they find out the likelihood of support for that legislation; they can then position their own (or their families) financial interests to benefit from the consequence of passage. It is a process similar to insider trading on Wall Street, except the trading is based on knowing who will benefit from a legislative passage.
Yes, Democrats are the opponents; they are ideological enemies to freedom. However, the far more urgent MAGA enemy is Mitch McConnell; the man who built the Trojan Horse.
you ever notice when people pay tribute to “greatest generation”..they are referring to an entire generation of people?
sure, there are definitely heroes…but the fact is, that for every hero, there are millions OF INDIVIDUALS who are working hard and putting in their part to make it happen.
so, think about your life…and how you want to be known…
were you a part of the greatest generation?
It’s very important to think about for lots of reasons.
not simply to establish a better nation that you gained from the sacrifices before you
not simply to establish once again that good triumphs over evil.
no..for each of us WE ARE CALLED BY GOD TO ACT IN OBEDIENCE TO HIS WORD.
KNOWING THE EVIL EXISTS AND PUTTING UP WITH IT AND SITTING DOWN AND TAKING IT..is very dangerous to your soul.
this doesn’t mean jumping on every grenade.
but it also doesn’t mean, “hoping” someone else takes care of it either.
just some stray personal thought
GOD BLESS AMERICA
Good thoughts, thanks for posting them.
The generation of the Great Depression and WWII did go through amazing hardship but they also ushered in an out of control government. Their privation meant they wanted an easier life for their offspring leading to a softer nation of men and women more reliant on government. For an example you only need to look at who was behind the growth of the current welfare state. They are also debtors to the SS system they so fervently defend. They extract far more in benefits than they paid in, even allowing for a decent percentage of return.
we can’t nearly blame the “greatest generation”of boomers for the failures and the design flaws of SS…come on…that’s a pretty narrow view.
I am old enough to remember the constant promises of politicians
lock box…
over and over and over.
the promise that the fed would NOT be permitted to touch that budget and move money out of it.
another thing to consider: how is it that there exist a federal thrift savings program exclusive FOR congress and high officials THAT HAS NEVER LOST MONEY and on average has exceeded every single stock market index for the past 40 years?
You “would” think that if congress could have imagined using THAT scheme they have carved out to protect SS ..they certainly could have done that.
lets lay blame for the failures where it belongs: congress. plain and simple.
there was ever expectation and it was reasonable that SS could have been managed well and keep it sound.
but we have WOLVES guarding the hen house…who exploiting every opportunity to grab the cash..and then go right back to the greatest generation and this current segment of retirees seniors and tell them with a straight face: vote for me and your money security is protected..and at the same time, telling the earners: we have to raise taxes to keep mawmaw from eating the dog food.
now, we can’t place the blame on the boomers…
it’s clearly a problem that congress caused..on purpose.
I remember how 401’s was going to solve this..and every year, they change the rules on that too…and are complicit with fund managers to exploit this casino money..which explains why few “investors” will ever do any better than rate of inflation, if that.
l’m a boomer — we weren’t the greatest generation. The greatest hardships we suffered was Vietnam and outside toilets in the 50s.
He is a big time scumbag and China puppet. Also he is responsible for the illegal immigration travesty and the sandwiching and starving and sqeezing of the middle class of America and also for making unions make 1.5 what normal folks make and he ought to be ashamed. He has also done nothing or coal miners.
Sundance and AdRem,
I sincerely apologize for my previous post. I rarely get angry, irate, or even mad, People even commented me on that trait But that list of names set me off and ! exploded with undo anger and viciousness. Again, I apologize. I do not wish to in any way jeopardize your great web site or interfere with your free access to the web.
I will be making a donation.. I sincerely apologize.
Found your last two comments in the bin. No problem…I get angry too….we all do. 🙁
I can only guess that China is holding turncoat mitches gonads
Thank goodness he showed that he loves us back on arab oil and wide open borders and back to war
Now the truth sets us free
We will hate the killer out of office now
Like nothing he has ever seen
Mitch
You shouldn’t have set the Capitol con up with pelosi
Your political future is over
You should have pretended to investigate the election steal
You didn’t lift a finger
Not one with all the proof in your face
Now you get impeached
The weaver pedafiles like you are done now
The worm has turned
You will be gone by December
We maxine waters hate you and your family out of our lives politically
That your wife who was given a great job by trump showed her true China colors was disgusting
Time to do the honorable thing and resign
100 million Americans and trump are the Republican Party
You weaver pedafile rinos are done politically now
You freaks chose the wrong side
Proof in his face???? He was frigging in on it..
MAGA AND HIS ARMY OF 100 million will now bury China mitch politically
He will resign by the end of the year
Praying that you are prophetically correct. BTW, welcome to the Treehouse.
He won’t resign; he will hide behind that fence until we drag him out in next election.
Why are you censoring me
You are a brand new commenter, and thus, your comment is “automatically” held in moderation like it is for EVERYONE who posts on a blog. Knock it off with the “censorship” nonsense. SMH…..
That is not a head protruding from a shell and I chastise all of you who put forth the turtle allegations…this is a head protruding from hell!!!
Burn, Mitch, Burn!!!
I’m beginning to think China mitch worked with China pelosi to set up Capitol con
Why else are their CAPITOL cops suiciding
WHY DID TGEY TURN DOWN EXTRA SECURITY
Why did a senators personal security guy kill that female veteran
WHICH SENATOR???
Not being given facts by now is the tell
Huge RINO /DEMOCRAT SET UP
TDS KILLS
I’ve had enough of the RINO Party. Never will one of its candidates ever again receive a vote for me.
It’s a worthless party. I voted Republican since 1982. Conservatism has really NEVER been tried. RINOs piss on it all the time.
why would a career politician embrace a political ideology of a limited scope of power and control for the political class. it takes a servant of the people not a ruler to do that.
Theres just one problem with Dung Zhou Mitch’s Tea Party game plan- that was then this is now. Back then a majority of Republicans still “believed “. That boat left the dock after his debacle- hell it went down with all hands on board. This is the Real President Donald J. Trump’s party now. See the people in Florida celebrating Presidents Day? It wasn’t a celebration of the CCP Installed Puppet that’s for sure.
Mitch and the CCP-funded Unipatry are now closed to being fatigued/punched out. They need to Google “Rope a Dope”
MAGA is so much bigger than the Tea Party, it is now like a chain reaction without control rods (minus the melt down) what i mean is it fuels itslf, it cannot be stopped, it will prevail. I was worried about a let down, almost like a disturbance in the force if you will pardon the metaphor, but what I feel now is better, quiet determination to see the job through. Good luck decepticons, you will need it 🙂
I think as many MAGA voters as possible need to get in the grass roots of the RNC and work to purge the RINO’s out.
It really is the only layout of this mess.
RINORaid.blogspot.com
Because ? s never forget.
I think Mitch is as evil as his Dem counterparts!
And the way he used PDJT & then stabbed him in the back! I believe true Trump supporters will remember that when Mitch is looking for money!
I know I have! I unsubscribed all the GOP that were looking for money after Presidential election! Now I get mail from them looking for money, figure as long as postage is prepaid, I return with a sarcastic note! I’m watching to see how long before they stop sending! Bunch of losers!!!
Remember to add something that weighs a lot so they can pay for that.
i know people who wrapped bricks with the return post paid envelope
His wife is owned by China.
His wife IS the CCP. Her parents receive direct benefits from XI and the Chicomms and so did the Turtle. He received a $25M “wedding gift” shortly after they were married.
Found in the bin…. 🙁
The Turtle doesn’t even know what’s happening. Trump is still in charge of the party and the old guard is toast.
I heard yesterday on one of the morning shows that James Cliburn from SC was the rep that gave guided tours a few days before Jan 6 to select individuals. (jmo)
So. Stop whining and work to take the damn seats.
Even NAnZI is not pouting towards McConnell like Schumer is.
Crooked and illegal voting methods and voting machines must be cleaned up and cleared out before we can expect to primary anyone or win any election again! Beyond that, I wouldn’t vote for any pick of Mitch’s – ever, and he’s not going to support any election reforms. I’m sure he wants to keep things just as they are, to maintain the status quo.
NH is another state that needs a clean sweep of machines.
You know the recent recount in Windham NH showed the Dominion machines making mistakes and systematically subtracting votes from GOP in November 2020 – see for example, https://granitegrok.com/blog/2021/02/i-assume-the-windham-scandal-dominion-voting-machines-were-tested.
Here is a study linked at Princeton: https://citp.princeton.edu/our-work/voting/
While the NH machines were Diebold, it appears Diebold ultimately was bought by Dominion, and a search on Diebold, Dominion, AccuVote and Premier brings up the linkages and problems over the years.
NH has a severe unaddressed problem it seems.
The big problem is the Smartmatic software that does the counting in 28 states. It is this specific software that allows manipulation of the count in multiple ways to gain the desired outcome. It is on several names of manufactured machines used around the country. In fact some of the Dominion hardware is locally sourced which is how they can say “their machines” are doing a valid count.
The SWAMP is deep and the SWAMP is wide and many disgusting creatures like Mitch and Mitt and Nancy dwell inside and instead of calling them out the LYING LEFTIST MEDIA is deep in Proven Corrupt Quid Pro China Joe’s fundament and licking frantically just like they did and are STILL doing with Obama.
Mitch didn’t destroy the Maga movement, he just hammered the last nail in his coffin. He will never be reelected again now that we see him for the slime ball he is.
I saw him way before this – fact is that McConnell & Graham would never have been re-elected if it weren’t for President Trump.
The only thing Mitch will end up destroying is the GOP wing of the UniParty and it can’t happen too soon.
You only get excuses from Mcconnel when things happen slowly. Look at how quickly DEM act when they want things done. Mcconnel claim it can’t be done, yet DEM does it quickly
Mitch Mc Conman just won re election. At his age it is unlikely he is running again so he figures he has nothing politically to lose.
in many ways he is worse than any Democrat in leadership.
I would not want to play chess with Sen. McConnell, nor checkers with Sen. Graham. They seem to be so many moves ahead of everyone else. Does he want the REP to survive or is he tired being a lap dog for the perpetual warfare, president assasinating, counterfieting bankster puppet regime of the DEMoviks. …
I would not want to game play with them either but for a different reason. They CHEAT.
McConnell can go to HELL. What he and all the Rinos did to the Tea Party will not happen this time. I went to the Tea party rally in DC. 9/12/2009 Over 1 million strong. We are now the MAGA party and 75+ million strong. We will be back and this time we will take DC back.
Well, let’s look at exactly who the responsibility for the security of the Capital is assigned…I’ll guarantee its not me…So put the blame on Mame 😛
Congress totally is responsible and its leaders McConnell and Pelosi should be held for any slip that occurred…Wait!!! Are these two actually the ones that erected the fence and called in the National Guard?
Why not field a MAGA candidate in each of those races and go all out to defeat the incumbent in the primary and then the same for the general?
Can we say VOTING MACHINES? until we can again validate an accurate count any challenge to the orthodoxy is likely to fail.
Here is a McConnell play. Daid Perdue running for Senate against the same guy he just lost to. McConnell has to go. . .NOW!
https://redstate.com/bonchie/2021/02/15/david-perdue-files-to-run-in-georgia-again-because-republicans-never-learn-n327585
McConnell must be getting desperate.
Are you SURE he lost even in the general election let alone the sham runoff where the irregularities were apparent in both races to favor the Dimms.
swamp knows they stole this election from the people. we will be back in some form. people always wins.
the tea party and the maga movement were and are made up of the core of republican party voters. that a leading republican would deliberately try to undermine them shows the horrible disconnect between the republican politicians and their supporters. i said this numerous times, the biggest enemy of a conservative voter is not the democrat party but the republican party. if you disapprove of the policies of the democrat party voting for a republican only insures that the democrats get there way. why any conservative voters thinks a lifetime career republican politician would oppose the government power policies of the democrat party is beyond me.
I wonder how many Republican office holders are actually leftist apparatchiks handled by the subversive Deep State/NWO machine — the same one that operates all the Democrats. The politics and workings of government we citizens are allowed to see are mostly Kabuki theater. Beyond speculation and generalities about “the cabal,” no hard information is ever revealed about who is actually governing this country. How do you deal with a shadow government nobody dares challenge or really investigate? That’s where the real power resides.
Why do my posts keep getting deleted you are as bad as BIG TECH
The time of the “Woolly Rhinos” is over,,,,,
MAGA PATRIOTS UNITE
Hey, search “American Lion.” The biggest cat that ever lived.
Wooly Rino sounds like a nice treat.
Senator Crapo for dogcatcher in Idaho. It’s an office he’s fit for.
Senator Risch, who ALSO supports McConnell, and supported the Democrat election steal (watch what they do, or do not do, not what they say), can be his wingman.
Admittedly, I’m a relative newcomer to Idaho. I don’t know all that much about it. I’ve been told that Boise runs Idaho, it’s the power center, and that the Mormon church has at the least, great influence in Boise. This much I am sure, after watching a couple of election cycles, Boise is the liberal Republican power center of Idaho. Every politician originating from there, and that region, is either corrupt or a closet left-of-center “moderate” (a.k.a. supports Democrat actions and policies, like stealing the 2020 election (and eighteen GOP House and two GOP Senate seats in 2018, but whose counting).
If ANY conservative in Idaho wants to see anything constructive come out of Boise, i.e. such as stopping actions by Governor Little like leftist imitating, unconstitutional “lock down”, they have to rid themselves of Little, the Idaho AG, the two corrupt McConnell boys holding Idaho Senate seats, and at least one Congressman for certain, probably both (Fulcher is in the House Freedom caucus, but that’s also a fake move).
Idahoans, it’s time to take back Idaho for the citizens of Idaho. We can’t afford fake conservatives running our state.
(Note: WoW, this text editor is a piece of c**p. No paragraphs allowed??)
Old Salt, I hit the enter button 3 times for a paragraph break.
As I’ve said on CTH before, Ron Johnson is NOT a Decepticon. Labeling “good guys” like him as such is NOT helpful.
I fail to understand how so many treepers rail against the Traitor McConnell, lament that he can’t be recalled, whine about his 6year reelection, etc., while missing the point that he is given his power by RANK AND FILE TRAITOROUS REPUBLICAN senators. The elected (R)s choose him to be in control.
You cannot continue to support the stinking corpse of the dead Republican party. Period.
Mitch needs to be ousted as the minority leader or, Trump needs to start a new party.
The Dems frequently call McConnell Moscow Mitch. In fact, this has been a usefully absurd slur in order to hide the true moniker of Beijing Mitch. I’m pretty convinced that the whole Russia hoax of 5 years was in good part an ingenious method of covering up the Chinese interference in our election in collusion with the Dems.
These so called representatives are elected to do the will of the people who elected them period. Now the so called representatives do what the money says or what their own feelings tell them because they want to be in the in crowd in the swamp …….BS !! Enough of this crap follow the will of the people or leave!! ENOUGH IS ENOUGH !!
We have to “Make Primary’s Great Again”. Meaning we have to turnout for the Primary’s in record numbers if we’re going to clean the filth out of the party.
Unless/until the GOP and Trumpkins can work together as a viable political movement, the Libs will own this country.
Just sent Senator Tillis from NC a link to this article. I suggested he read it and understand it. He pivoted one time and slithered under the wire for a second term. It won’t happen again if he doesn’t completely disavow McConnell.
McConnel is in office to simply APPEASE the conservative aspects of the party. He is serving conservatives some candy while supporting the demirat party as a RHINO. Conservatives need to wake up and realize this is a uni-party system to keep various factions in line while implementing MARXIST-SOCIALIST principles to control the culture, business and you life. McConnell must never again lead anything.
Can we get qa list of who voted to make him Minority Leader THIS TIME?
Be very careful about ousting Mitch before his term is up. Just remember that Kentucky has a Dem governor, and he will be sure to replace Mitch with a worthy Dem and that will NOT be good.
Recall him too.
Many are like minded here I know.
But why isn’t Mitch saying anything about the EO’s Biden signs which harm Americans?
MAGA morphed from TEA. It’s not going anyplace.
Let’s make sure we show up wherever we have to show up. “If you see Mitch in a restaurant, in a department store, at a gasoline station, you get out and you create a crowd, and you push back on them, and you tell them they’re not welcome anymore, anywhere.”
When I heard Mitch McConnell utter those words “excessive expectations” my first thought it was code for We don’t like Trump so we will drag our feet.
If Patriots stay in Republican Party, the Decepticons will always be there, right beneath the surface, sabotaging everything MAGA.
Agree, you have been trying for years.
Finally people are listening and we need a new party. One big concern I have is, when the tea party took over and many elected to the House and Senate look how many flipped. Makes me nervous.
