The Intercept is reporting on something CTH predicted after the 2020 election, Mitch McConnell is working with Kentucky legislature to plan his departure before the end of his term.
This is not a surprise. McConnell is fully exposed now; people can finally see through his schemes and understand his motives and maneuvers.
(Via The Intercept) Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell has compiled a short list of successors in his home state of Kentucky, preparing for the possibility that he does not serve out his full term, Kentucky Republicans tell The Intercept.
The list is topped by his protégé, state Attorney General Daniel Cameron, and also includes former United Nations Ambassador Kelly Craft, whose billionaire coal magnate husband is a major McConnell donor, as well as Kentucky Secretary of State Michael Adams, a former McConnell Scholar.
Under current law, the power to appoint McConnell’s replacement falls to Democratic Gov. Andy Beshear. But new legislation McConnell is pushing in the Kentucky General Assembly would strip the governor of that power and put it into the hands of the state GOP. (read more)
As we noted following the election, the business model of selling votes is no longer as lucrative. McConnell and Harry Reid created and then held the UniParty power system as a system for affluence and influence. However, McConnell’s signature legacy item will be his role in eliminating the filibuster and turning the senate into a simple majority system.
In order to give the appearance of his opposition to this move, despite his years of working earnestly toward it, McConnell will exit very soon after the filibuster is eliminated. He will then blame the elimination of the filibuster as the excuse for his departure. This is the Machiavellian way he operates.
Has his Chinese handler recalled him to the mother land?
He better hope not. When communists have no further use of a “useful idiot” they tend to dispose of them.
Motherland or the promised land?
Go ahead. Let the door hit you on the way out.
Hard.
And let me guess. Each of his hand chosen successors will be “rock rib conservatives”. By 2022 they will be soft selling the “Trump had to go” message couched in a nod and a wink to the eGOP.
Perhaps the DOJ had something on Mitch as well as his wife, and this is the Deep State’s way to let Mitch make an honorable exit.
The DOJ is in cahoots with Mitch and his Fang Fang. See CTH blog yesterday.
This is how the globalists work. McConnel was their stooge. Once one of their stooges gets too dirty, they cycle them out and replace with a new stooge that takes a decade for the electorate to sour on. Then they do it again. But they always have their stooge in there.
We need to break the cycle. Anyone taking Chamber of Commerce (aka chamber of china) donations need to be radioactive toxic.
and impossible to elect.
We will have self governance!
Question now is who will replace him….any prediction Sundance.
Bet bill cassidy is right for the job.
This Kentuckian has been soured on Mitch for over 30 yrs.
Leaving fully shamed, disgraced, beaten by PDJT, censured by his constituents, bought & paid by the Chinese & CoC and special interests, and shown to be the liar he is and a TRAITOR TO HIS COUNTRY.
May he live a long life and receive the public humiliation of being called a traitor face-to-face. every time any patriot sees him
He deserves no less. He sold out our country.
Leaving successful, mission accomplished, and only hurt in the area he could care less about (shame).
But I will say, the way pdjt forced them to expose themselves has killed their system.
They can only kill us now and go full steam. Their slow walk theft of us masquerading has two parties has been decimated.
Which means s murder and annialation of us is the only move. Legalize illegals, put them in the guard and tell them fight for your country. Puts another group between us and them. We know every move they have left.
Allie up now. Texas grid 10 month outage domino failed. Check
Their slow walk theft of us masquerading has two parties has been decimated.
My mother, who received her Masters in Poli Sci from UCSB in 1963, always said that the only difference between Republicans and Democrats was that the Dems wanted to get to communion tomorrow while the Repubs were happy to cruise along at 55 mph to get there.
I think you meant communism. Democrats don’t take communion ?
Of course he is. The man is practically a mummy. When people were plotting how to vote Mitch out next time, I knew he already had his payday, and would be HAPPY now to ride off into the sunset. It’s so obvious.
You know, when we talk about punishing the traitors in our country, I don’t think we should focus on the voting booth anymore. We really need to aim higher.
The GOP has a supermajority in the Kentucky legislature, which will stop Beshar from vetoing the change. Maybe Beshar runs to court to delay things.
Checking to be able to read comments
I think this probably better explains all the GOPe turds crawling out of the woodwork the last few days to cozy up to Trump. If Mitch is leaving, and maybe sooner than we think, there isn’t anybody left to lead them against the interests of their own base given the other announced decepticon retirements in the Senate.
Lindsey Graham. Might even be more successful than McConnell because he can be charming. Had half the Treehouse fooled for awhile.
Rest assured the rino gop has a fleet of leftist globalists who will pick up right where mitch leaves off.
Scott cotton graham ernst .. Dozens of them.
Might even be worse than mitch
Buck, good list so far. Glad you put Joni Ernst on it. She has managed to stay mostly under the radar, but she is not a MAGA friend and needs exposure.
In my book, Lindsey If you knew then what you know now Graham is anything but charming. That’s just my opinion.
The only time I admired him is when he went full-on bulldog at the Kavanaugh hearings.
I’ve spoken to him in person several times. He can be very charming when he wants.
Just don’t turn your back on him.
gender confused he is
Pvt. Idaho, I think it was all an act at the Kavanaugh hearing. It was necessary because the whole democrat fraud was falling apart and a catalyst was needed to save exposure. Lindsey would never talk to his dear friends and colleagues that way unless it was planned. He is a fine actor.
John Thune
Thune has the most evil eyes I’ve ever seen…frightening
Make friends allies locally now. Stop putting 100 percent of your effort into votes or talking of votes. _____ stopped the Texas grid plan ( dark winter). But we are running out of time. This was suppose to be hjc 2nd term, and they are sticking to the schedule, fck optics now cause you an I are dead and can’t speak after anyways.
Hope that message helped someone prepare.
Mitch gets his golden parachute.
He worked very long and hard to get to this point.
His work is done.
I hope he rots in He//
Show me anywhere that the China Mitch has planned on eliminating the filibuster…
He didn’t plan on it, he did it.
It has not been eliminated.
BenJamison….it’s coming. Shortly. Search the CTH for clues.
And will he and the wife be heading to Taiwan?
No US extradition treaty with Taiwan.
His wife will not be too welcome on Taiwan. Her daddy was a major functionary of Red China Inc. They will head for one of the China Inc. Elite enclaves in Hong Kong or Macao.
Well, it is possible he’s leaving because he was busted, but that may a case of confirmation bias. My own reading is that he’s leaving because he was deeply hurt when President Tump called him a dry, boring curmudgeon. 😉
Ha! Maybe he realizes he is old and wants a little time to enjoy his theft of our riches, his wife is catching heat, and Trump Love isn’t going anywhere? Get out while the gettin’ is good.
Trump also referred to Mitch as being sullen and dour.
This weasel just got re-elected to another 6 year term!
Methinks that there is some very dirty laundry somewhere about him and/or his Chinese spouse that is being held over him that he once thought he could control, but now suddenly can’t.
I don’t see him going anywhere before 2022 in order for him to hope that the GOP wins back the Senate and then he can rule again.
I think there is a huge dollop of “hope” behind this rumor on the part of Turtle haters.
IMHO.
L4grasshopper: I am leaning with you “…some very dirty laundry somewhere about him…” Not a coincidence his Chinese spouse handed in her resignation (dirty laundry on both, perhaps).
And Biden DOJ dropped the investigation of her dealings…..in return for what???
Check out http://www.theamericanreport.org. There’s a long article on Mitch and Choa.
As we noted following the election, the business model of selling votes is no longer as lucrative. ”
I recall the Treehouse saying that under Trump it wasn’t as lucrative as before but under a dem majority it would be even more lucrative for China Mitch.
It’s over. No more letting bitches make money. It’s game time to end the American dream and kill us. Mitch signals that move by leaving the money maker.
Great job on pick that up. Hope this comment helps other. The Texas grid is probably one of your last favors from pdjts team.
He wants to maintain power after he leaves by passing a cheating bill that allows the State GOP (which he controls) to appoint his successor rather than the Governor.
If the KY legislature passes this bill, they are fools. The problem is that the whole country will all get what the fools deserve.
The Kentucky Governor is a Democrat.
so the legislation has to pass with a supermajority, over a veto? Or a “deal” has to be made with the dem governor about how the ‘new’ senator will vote with schumer and the democrats?
correct.
Yep and the legal and legislative wrangling will go on until the 2022 election cycle. The “compromise” will be a special election in 2022.
Meanwhile, the demo-commies get a 50-49 majority, to keep licensed idiot Kamala out of the line of fire.
Hmm, let’s see who has the most money to purchase the seat.
Wonder if Trump had a little chit chat with him ?
No. His Statement said it all.
He doesn’t have any GOP voter support anymore, that’s for sure. His value is sinking quickly with Schumer, and the rest of the Senate Dems. Hmm, does he have any regrets in who he helped place into office?
I saw Kemp is now saying he’d support President Trump in ’24! He’s been ripped this way and that, by PT and everyone else. They must be very afraid in some ways. Maybe they know they need some of our votes in order to look like it was legit.
GA Gov Kemp? BFD. He’s just another GOPe RINO liar with his wet political finger pointed up to test the wind direction.
McConnell himself said just the other day he’d support Trump in a 2024 bid for the Presidency. A lot of good that did – nobody with at least half a brain believed him, and they won’t believe Kemp.
Yes, that’s why I mentioned that Kemp is now saying it and I can’t believe with a straight face! The nerve!
Do they care about appearances much anymore?
You get that that you settle for.
I would say that anyone he “suggests” as his “successor” should NOT be chosen.
That, and consider that his wife was let off the hook by the DOJ, that it was likely a package deal — he will not be prosecuted.
They can retire with the CCP-derived lucre, plus lucre from other sources, without fear of prosecution.
Especially since he’s probably also instrumental in embedding the election fraud mechanisms that will keep the Democrats in power — with selected “Republicans” allowed to win in order to maintain the facade the we have “free and fair” elections.
… could have been convinced listening to his voicemails and reading his emails…
My hope is that PDJT runs again.
And if that happens, Mitch being out of power is a good thing.
Mitch thought he had some control. Now he sees how it is and what is coming.
His handler looked Mitch right in his turtle eyes and said, You rack disciprine!
Too funny!
If, when McConnell should decide to leave, Trump should immediately announce he will begin interviews of possible candidates the Trump party will endorse and support as the next Senator – not Mitch, not Ronna McDaniel, not the RNC. Trump!!!!
Quite simply McConnell is a very old man. It’s prudent for him to have a say in his succession while he still has a say! I wouldn’t read more into this than that.
I think it’s a good love to give the power to appoint his replacement to the legislator given Bashear is a Dem governor.
*move
Not love lol
what a waste of oxygen this guy is
I assume he is leaving due to wife’s criminal activity while Sec of Transportation
Sign In
See a pattern going on here, the useful idiots are being removed by the CCP/Soros/Deep State/Obama because they are of no use anymore. And it is a great list: McConnell, Chao, soon to be Cuomo, soon to be Newsome, Loeffler, Perdue, Burr, Casey, Pence, and an oldy but goody, Ryan. The corruption runs very deep!
A lot of CEOs resigning the last month or so as well
Donald J Trump broke him.
In my bones I know Pres. DJT holds the control files on McConnell and Chao. And they know it too. I don’t know why, but I laugh my *ss off at everything the Turtle says or does these days. I just keep thinking of a an actual turtle trying to RUN AWAY. OMG. I am crying with laughter. Mitch and his wife know too well , that this is going to be INSTANT KARMA for them. It’s going to smack them right in the face. Not my words, but John Lennon’s.
Pretty strange video but worth listening to: Instant Karma
Here is a man who has done nothing to contribute to the betterment of the country or his fellow citizen.
For him, it’s all about power. His boot steps on others throats in his quest to stay in power.
Mitch was never about MAGA.
Never thought I would see the day the Turtle would step down. Ain’t it just grand the people of Kentucky don’t get to select who they want, the politicians get to do it.
NPR reporting on the wife. https://www.npr.org/2021/03/04/973564687/elaine-chao-used-dot-resources-for-personal-errands-family-business-inspector-sa
honestly, errand running? looks like minor stuff compared to what Joe and Hunter Biden were doing.
Anything is minor compared to what Hunter was/is doing. I am sure he has not slowed down one iota.
This move was predictable, imo. Mitch did his job by “handling” PTrump for 4 years. He boosted his ego by getting re-elected using PTrump to help him. He blocked election fraud investigations and got the nominees he wanted on the SC. There is no more really that he needs to do. Time to sail off and enjoy what’s left of his life. No one should be surprised by this at all. Good old Mitch the traitor has completed his assignment for the shadow people paying him for it.
Totally agree with your assessment. Mitch was a filthy, corrupt snake to the bitter end. He would still be holding down his seat were not his Chinese fang fang caught using the Dept of Transportation for her family business. And I think there is more behind that ethics violation than we know.
The most interesting part is that the family business is a shipping business, we all know the cargo that travels across the seas from port to port.
Sounds very logical for sure.
Please take gruppenfurher BarrASSo with you.
I wish El Rushbo was around to see this.
Is there anyone in turtle’s district that PdJT supports as a potential replacement? The last person I would want in turtle’s seat is someone who turtle endorses.
Karma hope he rots in hell
That picture with the do not tread on me should be replaced with the constitution because it is dead as is this country.
I think the meeting between mcconnell, haspel and barr gets more interesting all the time. All gone now.
I wonder if Biden and McConnell worked out a deal. early departure for McConnell in return for dropping charges against his wife. Biden sure is going easy on his ol’ Senate Pals isn’t he? Burr got cleared. And now Mitch’s wife.
It is never Biden who works out these deals. Buyden is the Manchurian Candidate to trillionth powet.
The problem isn’t just McConnell. Its his Gang, and the rich donors that are running the whole show. We need to take out Lisa Murkey and Thune in 2022.
And the RNC will say nothing as a Mitch picks once again who will serve in the Senate. Just like the RNC has not spoke a word about the campaign worker in Texas who was being paid by Republicans and was caught on video helping an old lady to cast her ballot for Biden. Project Veritas filmed the activity.
How many other RNC paid campaign workers in how many other states did our donations pay to get votes for Joe?
Yes the rules were changed and without a doubt election fraud occurred but how many votes were actually got for Joe this way?
Rona, the RNC, and China Joes buddy Xi Jinpings cousin Mitch have never supported President Trump.
A McConnell Scholar? What is that?
Mitch runs for re-election, knowing he would not serve the term. In one last powerplay, he then gets to pick his successor. Wonder how high the bidding will go?
He does that, hope he’ll get the Blagojevich treatment.
I have a different take. He has lost his power, he is probably being endlessly attacked by his constituents, and he has been censured. He has never had to face this much opposition and disdain before. He also knows President Trump and how relentless he is. He is not up for the fight. I think a lot of the RINOS are just now figuring out that the Trump supporters are not going anywhere and are not going to forget. They have no support in their own States and that cannot be a very pleasant way to live.
Agree!
Get rid of them all, We will win.
“Mitt Romney, little Ben Sasse, Richard Burr, Bill Cassidy, Susan Collins, Lisa Murkowski, Pat Toomey;
and in the House,
Tom Rice, South Carolina, Adam Kinzinger, Dan Newhouse, Anthony Gonzalez.
That’s another beauty. Fred Upton, Jamie Herrera Butler, Peter Meyer, John Katko, David Valadeo.
And of course the warmonger,
a person that loves seeing our troops fighting, Liz Cheney……
Get rid of them all….”
Transcript of President Donald Trump CPAC SPEECH 2021
How did Cornyn and McCaul escape that list? Personally, I strongly advocate for “Get[ting] rid of them ALL” and I mean ALL. Near as I can tell the only people that are actual members of a second party are Gaetz, MTGreene and possibly Jordan.
miss lindsey the snake and rick scott the knife
leik, the reason Trump’s monikers are so effective is that they are true. Who can ever think of Lizzy again without attaching “Warmonger”?
