The reality of the group known as the “Senate DeceptiCons” {Go Deep 2014} all now exiting, showcases their internal knowledge about how much the electorate is awake to their decades long schemes and machinations. These continued announcements are also predictive that Mitch McConnell is soon to leave the upper chamber.
Hold on to your political hat’s folks, this is going to get bigger and uglier as the power of the MAGA community and President Trump start to influence change.
The number of republican senators not running for reelection just gained another name today. Senators Richard Burr (NC), Ron Johnson (WI), Pat Toomey (PA), Rob Portman (OH), and Richard Shelby all previously stated they were not going to seek reelection; now Senator Roy Blunt makes the same announcement.
They know the American electorate can see both wings of the UniParty vulture now.
WASHINGTON DC – Sen. Roy Blunt of Missouri announced on Monday that he will not run for reelection in 2022, a surprise decision from the No. 4 GOP leader that comes amid a slew of retirements from top Senate Republicans.
Blunt, who was first elected to the Senate in 2010 and previously served for 14 years in the House, is the fifth Republican this cycle to announce his retirement.His decision is certain to set off a messy GOP primary in a state where former President Donald Trump remains popular.
“After 14 general election victories — three to county office, seven to the United States House of Representatives, and four statewide elections — I won’t be a candidate for reelection to the United States Senate next year,” Blunt said in a video message announcing his retirement. (read more)
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…. UNLESS President Trump leads the MAGA coalition to victory with new faces.
Current Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell has a leadership group who carry out the institutional objectives of the upper chamber as a body, they include: Senator John Thune (whip); Senator John Barrasso (conference chair); Roy Blunt (committee chair); Todd Young (NRSC chair); Jodi Ernst (conference vice-chair); and Chuck Grassley (president pro tempore). None of these senators make a move publicly without approval from Leader McConnell.
Things amid the DeceptiCon caucus are getting very interesting.
The Shameful Seven are almost all GONE!
[…] Idaho Republican Sen. Mike Crapo has said he intends to run in 2022, but had not officially announced his candidacy. (LINK)
Another downstream note…. a dot that few will pay attention to… a subtle variable for those traveling the deep weeds…. this announcement portends the DecptiCon caucus knows the Senate Filibuster is about to be eliminated.
There is no need for me to hold my hat as long as the CIA control election outcome. When my hat needs to be held, they hold it for me. That is how it works in AmeriKa…
And they control the media, which is their # 1 tool of choice.
Maybe OAN? Maybe wealthy MAGA are buying up shares now?
I think we have heard you say that repeatedly, before and after PDJT asked us to work with him and support HIS efforts.
So we get your point. Why keep saying it? i assume you are just trying to convince the rest of us that we should follow YOUR lead rather than PDJT’s.
Not happening, pal.
Let me add to your point, Albertus. The “Wet Towel Brigade’s” constant refrain is
along the lines of, “It’s all rigged”, “There’s nothing we can do”, blah blah..
If that were true, why aren’t these Senators running again? They can just rig the
elections for any outcome they desire, so why are they racing for the exits?
Their actions are at odds with the brigades “We can never win” drumbeat.
With Trump’s moves & decepticons abondoning the ship, I’m quite hopeful.
Well said.
Princess, I didn’t say anything like that. There is a LOT we can do…none of which involve voting while the CIA control election outcome…
I will continue to say it as long as the CIA control all election outcome but some of you are so lost in PTSD that you endlessly talk about primarying RINOs like it was just another day.
.
In case you have forgotten, the entire US military has betrayed their oath and now use their weapons to defend tyrants from We the People.
.
But if you are so concerned with my repetitions of these facts, then you are free to skip on down to the next person’s comments. I will repeat it as long as the CIA control all election outcomes and nothing is done about it…
I am willing to bet these snakes have already hired criminal defense attorneys.
they won’t need them. Criminal activity by the political elite is no longer a “crime” as long as you are in the Xiden World club. All Uniparty shills are welcome.
Electorate awake and they are realizing no more gravy train to sell their votes without 60 votes needed in the Senate. A perpetual minority without need of their “services” is not very lucrative.
Like to add to this thought, it’s not just the filibuster that will shake DC, it’s the additional radicle left legislation they will ram through with reconciliation. Reductions to the first amendment, new voter legislation, deep restrictions in the 2nd amendment and a very heavy handed threat to jam the Supreme Court if Dems don’t get their way. Notice, how Republicans (McConnell) would never even consider being this aggressive.
To them, swamp, government is a calling that has turned into a very lucrative business model and profession. It has bred a group of amoral creatures who worship no god, but the gods of the Capital and government. Their church is the Capital building and when invaded, you the people, desecrated their tabernacle. They despise those who now see through them and will not fight these radicle democrat changes. Too much money and prestige working with the gods of government then against. Hell is coming in the months ahead. The People voted (so they say) for this, hope they enjoy. America will look very different before the 2022 election.
The individual states will not have to declare themselves First and Second Amendment Zones where the federal attacks on those amendments will not be honored, or enforced by the state governments.
Good riddance
To paraphrase what Sundance said about the Polish revolution that led to the breakup of the Soviet Union, maybe they (the decepticons) realize there are a lot more of us than them. Heck, they probably realize it even more than we realize it.
This past November they realized that a lot more of us voted for Donald J Trump than there is of them.
The 06 JAN MAGA march was bigger than CNN’s prime-time audience. Delicious.
Solidarity against the deep state. I like it.
Roy Blunt out, Eric Greitens in? Sounds like a good trade to me. ?
And wouldn’t that be sweet justice considering what Greitens was put thru.
I am left wondering, if McConnell is leaving, why did he bother running for another term this past election cycle? From the sound of it, he will barely finish a year of the 6 year term, so why go through the election instead of holding on to a seat he was going to give up shortly thereafter?
Seems there is more to the thoughts of him leaving than meets the eye, or that is reported on.
he cant control the sell out of the senate and america from the side lines. as SD says he “regretfully’ helps end the filibuster
My answer is that he doesn’t like being Minority Leader. He has no power now. And maybe the fact that it was his own action of not allowing the $2000.00 bill to go thru that put him in the Minority position.
SOOOOOO..turtle is finally boiled, steamed and broiled and it took only…VSG/ESG PDJT ..CPAC speech..hmmmmm
I thought you were busy starting a 3rd party? C’mon, get with it!
Because they were certain that the decapitation strike to remove Trump from office would be the end of the MAGA movement and we’d all just move on and settle for business as usual, like the tea party did.
McConnell underestimated the reaction to the stolen election. He figured President Trump would act like any other Republican and just roll over. And he underestimated the anger of the voters who were robbed of their vote.
Bingo. You called it. These RINOs are so out of touch.
McConnell underestimated the influence of the radical left on the Senate. If he can’t sell votes to Schumer, there is no point sticking around.
Bingo! As Sundance has explained previously, McConnell rather be the Minority Leader if the filibuster is in place so he can sell votes to Schumer. (To overcome the 60-vote hurdle.) With the filibuster gone, McConnell can no longer play this game, and loses power. He is pretty old anyway, ~78 ?
79, I don’t know what he was thinking running for a 6 year term last year.
Money, power, and it’s tough to indict a sitting senator.
You do know Mcconnell was not elected again..Dominion anyone??
I have loathed this man since moving here….2007.
It is the lure of the Kevorka CheatWare.
Sorry, IMO, that’s not it. Every R senator/rep knows that NO prior potus in US history– from either party– ever got the amazing support at rallies, everything that Trump got.
And, no way did Mitch believe Trump would go quietly into the night after having his landslide victory stolen from him.
And … every senator/rep KNOWS Trump won the election. Knows it.
IF Biden had really won… the Dems would just prove it. Easier than the barbed razorwire & NG Troops all over DC.
One of the things McConnell said b4 the election was: “this is THE most important election in my lifetime.”
At the time, I took it to mean he was going to do his best to make sure Dems do NOT get away with the massive fraud they were OBVIOUSLY plotting. And, yes, I actually believed that. ? pollyanna.
But THE most important election in Mitch’s lifetime turns out to have been returning dangerous, pro-CCP totalitarian traitors to control of the US govt. Wow. Most of the 535 SOBs do … deserve the gallows.
He’s getting paid really good for it. He’s a traitor and I bet China or the globalist (take your pick) fill out his bank account like never before.
did he receive elaborate – anus exam for virus..and he did not like it..and now he want quit ??????
The bidness of Senator has nothing whatsoever to do with advancing the interests of the nation or even a constituency. These creatures perpetually run for office. That is their job description. They trade the influence of the office for dollars. That is their living. Its not complicated.
“What do you do for a living Mr. McConnell?”
“I run for office.’
With fellow democrats in control, it time to get out and cash in. All kinds of lucrative contracts to “administer” and “consult” on.
McConnell and his little wifey have been cashing in for years. I still think the main reason he is getting out is he wants out before too much light is shown on their cashing in.
What other reason is there for renewing interest in her 4 year old ethics charges other than a signal to him that, yes, now is the time to air that issue, and possibly release other embarrassing documents. Rather than that be done, wouldn’t he just want to retire quietly?
The left has picked various targets, and it is starting to look as if those targets have been assigned to groups of minions for specific, coordinated attacks. Those minions have been after those targets since the election. McConnell just happened to make their list this year.
Not that I care. He deserves it. He watched as others took the slings and arrows thinking he was protected from that.
Remember how he blasted Trump saying in a presser after impeachment #2 failed that “criminal investigations” were NOT out of the question in regular courts?
After that statement, all seems to have changed with Turtle.
He tried riding both sides of the fence suggesting there was no need for impeachment, and that President Trump could still be held accountable for whatever in court when he left office.
I think McConnell was then shown he could be held accountable if he stayed in office.
I’m sure McConnell and the rest of them all believed that the MAGA movement would just be a short-lived flashy thing that would become impotent once Trump was gone. As they awaken to more and more of the political reality — the 75 million Trump voters consider the GOPe to be sell-outs to America and Trump — they know they haven’t a snow ball’s chance of getting the reelection support necessary to win. Cue Dandy Don Meredith’s “Turn Out the Lights, the Party’s Over”.
McConnell thought the swamp would go back to normal and Schumer would be buying votes to get to 60.
New game in town. Schumer is apparently good with the radical left turn; at least until HR1 is passed to lock in the sketchy vote mechanisms for Democrats.
I suspect that this was part of a package deal. Through his wife (and perhaps himself too) there was legal exposure (criminal) to CCP ties. A second Trump term was a great risk for prosecution of him, his wife, the Bidens, and several others.
So he stayed in office long enough to cooperate with the color revolution, keeping the GOP forces in line to consummate its success. Trump is gone. The Biden-Harris Junta is installed.
McConnell kept his end of the bargain.
In the past week we’ve learn that his wife Elaine Chao is off-the-hook (the Democrats, like the Mob, keep up their end of such bargains — so as to maintain their credibility for with others with whom they may want to enter such bargains in the future).
McConnell / Chao now get to enjoy their lucre – as do the Bidens -free from any concerns over prosecution.
And the Democrat Governor of Kentucky – who likely stole the election with the help of electronic voting machines https://www.millennialmillie.com/post/will-they-steal-the-2020-election ) – will get to appoint his successor for the remaining nearly six years of his term?
Old Goat:
American political parties are big institutions. Changing direction is like steering an oil tanker. The GOPe has been plotting Trump’s removal since his election day. They succeeded, but the circumstances in the country and in the political environment are far different.
What the Washington establishment wanted, from Pelosi to McConnell, was for Trump to resign early in his Presidency: Pence would have served out the term as a caretaker, and change would have been kept to a minimum.
Plan A was Hillary’s election, and the Obama golden age would flow on. The ugly Plan B was Pence. Plan C? Trump’s impeachment, even after his dirty removal, was the twitching of a dying Washington establishment corpse.
I read all the responses to see if someone came up with a really good reason for McConnell talking about resigning less than 60 days after “winning” another 6 year term as senator.
WHY would he bother to run and bolt so fast? It’s a good question. He must have known he would resign when he was running. He is 78 I believe.
IMO, the reason is not any of the ones listed under OldGoat’s post.
If anything, Mitch fought to lose the senate.
He’s too old to want to be a lobbyist for more money. He has many millions already and you can’t take it with you.
Neither is Mitch shocked the 75 million are not leaving Trump. That was to be expected. Trump could have made Mitch lose in 2020 if he’d wanted to… and Mitch knows that too.
My guess is… Mitch believes he will escape paying for the crimes he has committed for decades if he leaves now… and lets the Dem Gov select his replacement? Of course that would be GLARING betrayal of his own party… so not sure IF McConnell would resign b4 the R legislature changes the rules so that the Legislature selects a senator/rep replacement not the governor.
It is VERY strange for ANY majority leader (or any minority leader) in the Senate, for so long, to do something like this.
Maybe he knows he will be removed as Minority leader and doesn’t want the humiliation?
Or… maybe he recently learned he has cancer?
MAybe it has to do with what’s happening to his corrupt wife, former secretary of the Treasury, Elaine Chao – Ms. Chinese money.
Oh yah, right. Could be that too. He must resign to get his wife off?
One drawback for being a Congressman or Senator is that you have to wear a mask in DC. I imagine that gets old.
Paul Ryan resigned his House Majority leader role,
and kept the ‘position’ (lame duck by design?) for about a year… and with a complacency on actions, the House lost seats, and the majority. (guess whom became the Majority leader)
Now pr does his thing at Fox, behind the scenes etc.
What’s that got to do with Senate leadership, or lack thereof ?
(the silence from the Senate ‘leaders’ from Nov. 3 to Jan. 20th, could be a clue… )
imho
I do not know
gym:
They agreed with the Resistance/Never Trumpers that with Donald gone they could march bravely into the past. Now? They stare into the abyss.
Mitch knows the Republicans in his state loathe him because of all the things he’s done, including hurting the real President of this country. Also, he may well have found out he’s got a fatal disease. His party of selling Republican Senate votes to Schumer may well be over, too. Mitch wanted to be Minority Leader. I hope he is prosecuted for every last one of his evil deeds.
It depends on how his state handles mid-term retirements. In some states Governors get to pick the replacement for the remaining term. Bad when it’s an R retiring and a D governor. In others the state Senate/Reps, whichever slot needs filling gets to appoint. And others require a new election right away. No matter how it is taken care of in the interim, any appointee must stand for election at the next end of the term they are serving election. This is IL’s SOP. They get a strawman to sit for election, he/she gets elected and “retires” immediately afterward and the politicians pick the replacement(s). Our votes rarely count for statewide or even some Federal offices. How do you think Nobama climbed the ladder? He was a carpetbagger & community activist in IL, but IL politicians have rarely met a fellow D they didn’t want to groom for higher glory.
Interesting point/angle.
The problem is — unless he just learned he has cancer–he is “making some kind of a deal.” He plotted this… so what is he up to? Why was 2020 THE most important election in his lifetime… if this is what he is doing with it?
The exit he is doing was not planned..lots of things are coming about that the public doesn’t know or don’t care to believe…like what i learned from a video of a UK resident:
MI6 ordered the fake virus with Obama; Uk higher-ups are definitely involved in this taking down the cabal; child trafficking arrests are coming in UK: in April the CDC is gonna catch hell;
Oh FFS.
Please no more of this hopiumticktockwegot’emthistime. No one is getting arrested. No one is getting indicted. No one is even getting a sternly worded letter. Stacy Abrams sang.
Britain can’t even unscrew the Brexit mess and they are going to blow the lid off a US/UK collaboration to screw the world?
You have a better chance of winning that carrot on a stick clown show called Publishers Chinese Crap Clearing House.
These people live in a hermetically sealed bubble. I have no doubt that they thought they could rig the 2020 election, that the public would fall for it, and that they would be able to go back to business as usual.
The GA Senate election blew that bubble to smithereens. There is no more need for us to believe the lie that we have a two party system, that we have free and fair elections, that we have to “save the Senate”, and so forth. Who are they planning on lying to in order to win back the Senate as Lindsey Graham laughably asserted last weekend? Win the Senate to stop the Democrats? We couldn’t even count on these people to stand up for a free and fair democratic election. They gonna tell us we have to save the Supreme Court which sold us all out to Communist China? What promises are they going to be able to make that anybody will be stupid enough to believe at this point?
So, off to pasture they go. Their play now is to try and pick their successors and get a new generation of frauds into office. Expect their hand-picked successors to sound as MAGA as possible. MAGA is difficult to fake, and I suspect Pres. Trump is ready for that…such as banning various GOP groups from using his name in fundraisers.
Good point. They are exposed and so they are exiting for the good of the uniparty.
Hmm… well that explains those not running again… but not McConnell announcing he is leaving 40+ days into the 6 year term he just won. No, Mitch is up to something.
He had to run just in case President Trump won, so McConnell could continue to block President Trump for four more years.
Another insurance policy.
Could be. Good point. B/c of his and uniparty crimes, he had to run and win in case the election steal didn’t work and Trump returned and Rs controlled the Senate. He/uniparty couldnt risk an “uncontrolled” MAGA Republican becoming Majority Leader. It’s something.
Yup!
Me too, Old Goat. His leaving mid-term is odd. Likely ….they want to appoint the successor to improve odds of getting “their guy” re-elected? But why the hurry?
This feels like they either feel a need to get the heck out of Dodge ASAP or… and I’m out of hopium…. but this feels like a pre-planned deal of some sort. Mitch keeps his seat until the other side of the bargain is completed …and THEN he lets it go.
It doesn’t make sense to me that this is only about him losing power because his leaving early begs the question of why, ESPECIALLY after his wife just avoided an explosive ethics issue. There is still plenty of money to be made and influence to sell, even if not as much as before. Why not sit back and coast for a few years and leave his reputation in tact? He doesn’t have to be leader if he doesn’t want to.
Why the odd urgency? I think there is more to this.
BTW.. serious question….where IS Gina these days?
KY has a democrat governor who will name his replacement. He is spitting in our eye as he is forced out.
My take is he is putting things in motion (getting control of who names his replacement put back into the state legislature) for a post midterm retirement. These things take time.
As for why he ran in 2020? Maybe he just didn’t foresee the hostile takeover of the RNC by Trump and doesn’t have the stomach for the fight. You know the RNC & friends will not take this lying down. I worry for Trump’s safety, tbh.
He has waved a big red cape at the globalist/elites
Like “The Olden Times”, when they just handed them over to pimps and sexual slavery.

Will they get to keep all of their ill-gotten gains?
Niagara Frontier. You bet! Plus, nice, cushy lobbying gigs.
Nope, you take nothing with you in the end
How many will be replaced by RINOs? How do we prevent a splitter strategy? Trump’s PAC is a start but there should also be an America First vetting system that works to downselect a single MAGA candidate and to identify RINOs as RINOs. That will be tough as it means ambitious politicians need to bow out when told. Trump backing the vetted candidate would do that.
Need to make sure there aren’t a bunch of Roy Moores who get nominated. I like this Marjorie Taylor Greene, but she couldn’t win a statewide race. We need candidates with message discipline. DeSantis -types.
Agree 100%. No reason we can’t put up MAGA candidates who don’t veer off into yahoo land.
Mtg is the fiercest fighter we have. We are damn fortunate to have her!
Rm would have been better for AL. (and the U.S.) than what they eventually got (jones).

These damn mf’s. These screw our great President Trump every step of the way, collude to keep him from being re-elected, then step down because they know they are dead weight.
I hope there’s a special place in hell for them. Maybe God can let George Washington inspect these scum and hang them for eternity.
Good. hopefully each State will have honest to goodness MAGA believing MAGA enacting candidates to put in place.
Hopefully each state will make sure their elections will not be a repeat of the 2020 Nov. 3rd Steal.
They are going to remove the Filibuster….. D.C and Puerto Rico will become States…..Designed Destruction of The Republic….
We are doomed! maybe if they give DC and PR statehood, we can spilt Washington State in half – north to south along the Cascades and also do the same in Oregon and Northern Cal.
And there are several counties in VA and MD looking into moving to WVA because they are fed up with people working in DC and living in VA and MD but voting dem.
We can’t get upset about stuff like this. We all knew it was coming, and the Democrats are going to embrace their most totalitarian instincts. I’m an accelerationist about this kind of stuff. The worse the Democrats can implode the country, the better for our country in the long run.
We need to let them drive the country straight over a cliff into hell. And to the Americans who voted in November for this disaster – and millions of them did – they need to suffer in ways they never imagined.
Only then, with the GOP gutted, the Democrats 100% decloaked as totalitarian savages, and the nation imploding, will enough people’s lives and livelihoods be put at risk to drive the needed change.
The Repubs in D.C. are starting to understand that they are 100% viewed as back stabbing duplicitous traitors. Not disloyal. Not out of touch. Actual, literal, traitors.
Democrats actually have to try to rig things so that there are no more elections. They cannot afford another 2020 where their fraud was so transparent that it made even normal people want to vomit.
Anyway, this stuff, what SCOTUS is doing, etc. is all just the 747 diving straight down to earth with no engines from 30,000 feet.
Pretty much where I am at as well.
It’s cash-out time. Top of the market.
Can’t wait to get rid of Cornyn !
I’m glad to see all these RINOs on their way out even if it means that “the filibuster is about to be eliminated”. I do hate to be a Debbie downer but how do we win an election with voter fraud? They own the machines and the GOP cheats in the primary a lot. Will try to remain hopeful.
Only way is at the GOP legislative level, require
protective election laws and go to paper ballots. Last resort is a Dominican Tea Party, raid and destroy all the machines.
Good. Take out the trash.
BLUNT ‘NOT RUNNING AGAIN’? LOL! MAYBE IT HAS SOMETHING TO DO WITH BEING ARRESTED A FEW WEEKS AGO! WILL HE BE ON THE ‘GITMO SPECIAL’ SOON?
He got arrested for what?
So if the filibuster is removed and HR1 is passed in the Senate, how do the Republicans win any significant election in the future ? (very serious question !)
Frankly, unless SCOTUS throws out HR1, the Repubs will never win again.
YOU’VE JUST ASKED THE QUESTION OF THE DAY! ACTUALLY THE QUESTION OF THE YEAR!
Sad reality…we don’t.
Unless America is overrun with people WOKE from their deception, who so overwhelm voting that no amount of fraudulent votes or altered e-manipulation can overcome it. Good luck with that under a communist ruling party with a controlled press.
Then no man, however wise, will be able to avert the consequences that must ensue.
And add in amnesty, which nets the Dems millions of votes and makes every purple state permanently blue, plus making DC and Puerto Rico into states, and they won’t even have to cheat to win anymore. Our elections are a farce. Our country is gone. Our only move in my view is a total boycott of the elections. The Dems will win 99% of the vote and have the same legitimacy as every other despotic 3rd world regime.
Play by their rules. “Harvest” enough votes of undocumented guests to turn New York and California red. Democrats are betting Republicans would never do that. No id, no signature, no other check on validity, so screw them with their own policies.
That and the whole prosecution and jail thing. Just Us only goes one way.
uprising
We don’t. What comes next is about the public understanding that they no longer live in a free and democratic society. How they’ll respond to that is anybody’s guess.
It is very, very, important that everyone we know and communicate with be reminded on a daily basis that they no longer live in any country resembling the United States of America of the past 250 years…or even the post Y2K.
As long as people hang onto the idea that elections matter, that elections aren’t rigged, that there are two political parties, etc….we cannot get them where they need to go. And where we as a country likely need to go is right through those fences surrounding the US Capitol.
So the Turtle is doing what Rat Ryan did in the House.
Chyna wife won out.
It was supposed via here or @thelastref… that the loss of the filibuster is why SCOTUS thought they could negotiate to encourage Dems to hold on the court packing. Dummies. They won’t wait once the filibuster is kaput.
These senators will have much more sway when they morph into lobbyists if they don’t lose in a primary or general election, thus yet another reason for them to decide to retire. Their value decreases once it’s public knowledge that they are no longer “important.”
A nest of cornered rats
A nest of cornered rats
See how they scurry
See how they scurry
They all ran after Trump to take his life
He is now turning around and will cut off their tails with a carving knife
Did you ever expect to see such a sight in your life
As a nest of cornered rats?
“The Senate Lounge just isn’t what it used to be, gentlemen.”
Sounds to me as if Mitch and a few others believe some info is going to leak.
As for Ron Johnson…is he really that bad? I ask as someone not familiar with WI politics.
Ron is a very good guy who never intended to stay for long. He has self term limited. His style is Wisconsin nice compared to Trump’s New York in your face. He and Trump both called out Mitch after the post impeachment speech. Johnson’s statement may have had more to do with McConnell’s surrender than Trump’s. Trump laid it out in detail, Johnson said Mitch doesn’t speak for the Republican party. That was the kiss of death.
I have a feeling Ron is going to renege on that self term limit thing. He has not announced his departure
The latest around here is that he is undecided about a run for governor in 22. Considering it, but no decision yet.
And it is going to be tough to get a MAGA Senator in Wisconsin, much less a typical Republican politician. But the possibility is still there, though slight at the moment.
The info the leaked is that there was a fraudulent election in November 2020 and everybody knows about it.
Since their plan has been all along to tell the base F-you, they’re going to trigger a world of hurt by giving Dems the store and then exit ASAP so they don’t have to listen to their angry constituents.
They “got theirs”. They don’t care what happens to anybody else.
The Republican establishment position, spoken or unspoken, has long been that the country is doomed because of the crazy Left, and their job is to make our descent as slow and painless as possible.
Nothing much has changed. You can spot GOPe types because they speak softly (Dick Cheney whispers): the reason is not to provoke the “animals” on the Left. Peggy Noonan wrote that AOC and her Squad act crazy because Trump provokes them.
The assumption of establishment types like McConnell is always that the day will come when they must bail out and let the country’s death spiral occur. This was the existential, nihilistic threat Donald Trump was trying to fight. God bless him.
I hear that a lot but I don’t agree that the GOP was trying to slow any descent. I don’t think they cared about anything at all but their personal grift. They were there to smash-n-grab as much as they could for themselves before everything goes down the tube. I think that was McConell’s entire gambit since he’s been in D.C.
So you agree?
These bow outs could also mean Trump means business when he says they can’t use his name and likeness for fund raising. They must be barely able to get a nickle without his name/picture in the beg. And I bet corporate donations are drying up to since as permanent minority, they aren’t needed.
I also said earlier that I bet Dem bribe prices are nosediving too. Why should I pay you when there is no opposition to your vote.
In recent years, the McConnells received about $30 million from her relatives’ ChiCom shipping company. Maybe that was ‘enough’ bag money for McConnell – probably received because of the help he gave to the Chi Coms in the Senate.
Wow! A bunch of new Senate seats for the Dems to steal now. The takeover is going just as planned. Too bad that pesky Donald Trump (best president ever!) is still around.
All very interesting and all quite irrelevant. While I applaud PDJT’s efforts (and will support those efforts to the best of my ability) to purge the Republican Senate of quisling traitors, without meaningful election reform, none of this matters.
In fact, not to be too direct lest I run afoul of any number of folks monitoring these pages, I’ve been saying since SCOTUS whiffed on PDJT’s challenges, followed by the January 6th rally fiasco, that politics as usual will no longer work. One may infer what they wish the meaning of “as usual”.
No question, we must have meaningful election reform to create POSITIVE political change. But meaningful election reform is not necessary to collapse the Decepticons and/or further reveal just how evil the left/Fake News/Deep State/CoC/et al are. And collapsing the Big Lies does matter.
Maximus;
The billionaire oligarchy that now controls us may think themselves content behind walls, but walls have never provided much more than psychological succor.
Mercenary guards are also poor comfort. Men will die for tribe or family or country, but not for a pay packet. The frivolous rich like Bloomberg may learn too late the essential need for hard men guarding them as they sleep.
And hyper-inflation can make wealth meaningless. Elon Musk just lost $27 billion in the space of a few days. Flirting with the anarchists that now dominate our Left is madness, for the paper billionaires of the modern hypothetical capitalism. You’re building your castles on shifting sands, boys. The old lessons will be learned hard once again.
Good riddance, but if I am playing devil’s advocate . . . Won’t the CoC/Decepticons have a “bench” of compromised candidates ready to run for these vacated spots? And, naturally, these Decpticons will all pretend to run as MAGA.
The best way to expose the next generation of Decepticons is to use a litmus test that forces them to say politically incorrect things as the price of entry into MAGA. For example, they can publicly state that there was massive election fraud in the 2020 presidential election. Or they can literally say something like, “trannies ought to be banned from participating in girls and women’s sports.”
Until elections are cleaned up, there is no need for Republicans to run whether RINO or MAGA.
The extent, scale, and ease of cheating varies wildly from one state to another, even if we factor in the Dominion-style electronic remote cheating. In Missouri (Blount), e.g., no Decepticon could win the next GOP Senate primary by running as a Never Trumper – she/she would get destroyed. And, then, a legitimately MAGA GOP primary winner would be a yuge favorite in the general election. And that would matter, albeit not nearly enough to make much of a dent in the DC cesspool.
Please include a state of the art lie detector exam.
With President Trump leading the way we have an opportunity to completely change the republic and republican party. I hope we take advantage in a once of a lifetime and do what needs to be done. We need to get mega candidate that love America and believe in God And want to follow the Constitution of the United States of America.
Then we can begin taking back our country, destroy the current media and Institute fairness in the media. Then we take back to schools and teach real American history and put God back in the classrooms. Then we go after the left and show them no Mercy and treat them the way they treated us and extinguish their way of thinking from our curriculum and put all those criminals in jail and prosecute them to the full extent of the law. We build the wall all along the border and remove all the illegals that came here illegally and welcome all those who came here legally.
Hope-ium
Why are they getting out now ?
Because 80+ million Americans Patriots know 80+% of their dirt, and they know the “big ugly” or “kracken” or whatever is reaching more and more people…
…therefore they are going to take their millions and run.
New Zealand is lovely, I hear.
But, in short, they thought we’d just fade away.
Silly wabbits.
BTW Gab has been down this afternoon.
New Zealand has very strict immigration policies, not easy to move there unless you are very well connected.
I live in NZ. If you have money and say you will invest in something of interest, the Government will welcome you (just like many other countries). There is a process to go through but also plenty of consultants to help you.
One more down!
What are you even talking about here AM? You’ve heard SD say what repeatedly? In this post, SD doesn’t so much recommend a specific course of action as he does observe a trend. Maybe you’re the one with an ax to grind?
To paraphrase a Paragon of Deception: What difference, at this point, does it make? Unless we can xerox Rand Paul and Marsha Blackburn and Tom Cotton, and create a Senate version of MTG, the “approved” GOP candidates to replace the Shameful Seven will be cut from the same piece of cloth, just maybe a tad younger.
Tom Cotton is a never-Trumper. He attended the big confab at Sea Island, Georgia years ago where the ‘elites’ and money-men gathered to plot the downfall of Donald J. Trump.
I, for one, will tell everyone I know in Idaho to boot Crapo.
These no good crooked, criminal Sons a bitches are bailing like the dirty rats they chose to be. There is going to be more to come and down to the very last one.
I won’t be happy until Voter-Fraud is eliminated. To me it is the biggie. I had originally thought the Supreme Court would fix-it, but they are as dirty as the dirtiest rest of them.
I don’t know what Trump has in store, but my thought is if Trump uses up his MAGA endorsement weapon, then it is Military tribunals. I know this much, anyone complicit has got some sleepless nights facing them. The only one who doesn’t have to worry about anything is Biden. Biden doesn’t know if he is afoot or horseback.
Trump knows them all and has them all surrounded, Trump has said we are just at the beginning. The Stock market is a total artificial aberration. Squeeze the water out of that sponge and then see what you got?
This is what will cause the Ostriches to pull their heads out of the sand. This is when everyone starts to feel the burn. This is when the Communist loving Libtards start to think about changing their ways.
Military tribunals would be about the greatest pox than could be inflicted on America.
Good. Makes it easier if these Rinos save us the trouble and take themselves out of the running.
These cowards will not even stick around to witness the havoc they have wrought.
Well maybe you reformers can replace this yellow POS with MAGA. I doubt it, but good luck.
You assume they care.
Nope. I assume nothing. They don’t care. Never have.
Then again, I didn’t elect this permanent politician/lobbyist/criminal.
It won’t be luck. It will be “root, grunt and growl”. It will be the end for few, so the many survive. Once one becomes a MAGA there is no turning back. It is like a light in the dark and nothing is ever dark again but the memory.
I agree. I won’t give up and I won’t stay down with the whiners. I understand what they are saying, but I won’t live in that depressed state.
There were never any objections to Senate leaving without recessing. Time and time again, they all united to block Trump from ever getting people to serve him, only allowing people who served them. All 100 Senators, every Democrat and every Republican joined together to never recess lest Trump make a recess appointment.
Every Republican.
There is always someone new in the wings to step up and block the peoples will. McCain passed and Flake stepped up. Flake loses and Romney rises from the gutters and the sewers to block the people and our servant Trump.
We must clean the slate, removing the decepticons and installing fresh patriots who haven’t been corrupted.
Otherwise we will just get more of the same.
Trump has been amazingly successful at restoring family values. ALL these senators (and hopefully more to come) have decided they needed to spend more time with their families (heart-warming ain’t it?). It will be interesting to watch to see which corporations, think-tanks etc., bring their puppets in to receive their cushy reward for years of faithful service at the tax-payer’s expense.
Lol!!! “Heart-warming.” 🙂
This is exactly why we need to decide what reforms need to be made in our States and then get our State Legislatures make those changes rock-solid. Then the whole State needs to stand our ground with them. Election rules are the sole responsibility of the State Legislatures.
But every one of them know how to drag their feet till the nick of TOO LATE, so we have to decide what we want and then get on them and never let up.
The Republican legislators in the swing states should split out their electoral votes the way Nebraska and Maine do, so that the ballot stuffing democrat cities like Detroit and Atlanta can’t swing the whole state’s electoral votes.
Mitch McConnell Kentucky Senator is Signaling he Will not Complete his term and leave the U.S. Senate
https://whatyouthoughtiwentaway.wordpress.com/2021/03/08/mitch-mcconnell-kentucky-senator-is-signaling-he-will-not-complete-his-term-and-leave-the-u-s-senate/
I’ll wait to believe until I hear Mitch’s firm announcement, but still have a bit of doubt until it is a done deed.
The Obamacare years (2010- 2017) were a golden age for Republican politicians. Raising money and winning elections was a snap. Then that darn ole Trump got elected, and the voters expected results. Paul Ryan was baffled when asked to produce the Republicans’ plan to replace Obamacare, and he retired at the prospect of working hard once again.
The GOPe hoped that by cheating Donald Trump out of his rightful office they could turn back the clock to their golden age. Liz Cheney still harbors this fantasy. Republicans have no hope or plan to raise money. The Democrats control the administration and all the procurement purse strings, and Republican voters only respond to Trump’s blandishments. Time to retire, eh Roy?
Based on congressional financial disclosure forms and calculations made available by OpenSecrets.org, Blunt’s net worth as of 2012 was estimated between $795,023 and $6,124,998. That averages to $3,460,010.50, which is lower than the average net worth of Republican senators in 2012 of $6,956,438.47. Blunt ranked as the 40th most wealthy senator in 2012. Between 2004 and 2012, Blunt’s calculated net worth increased by an average of 147 percent per year. Between 2004 and 2012, the average annual percentage increase for a member of Congress was 15.4 percent.
I guess he thinks he has made enough off the tax payers………………this was 9 years ago
Not to mention what his family made.
Hoping that the filibuster stays put, the dems will do everything they can to remove it. I like others believe there is more going on.
Sundance should do a deep in weeds piece about what USA would look like without Filibuster and dems in control.
IMO- second that happens is when the country is beyond repair.
But without the filibuster and that demonic hr 1 bill, how can we ever win another election?
We can’t if that happens. VenezuelaUSA
No big loss.
It save us from throwing them out.
Our energy can be applied elsewhere.
Just maybe I was wrong in saying a 3rd party is the only way to go.
Get rid of these snakes and rebrand the GOP as the AMERICA FIRST and AMERICAN WORKERS party.
AMERICA FIRST……maybe there IS hope!
Several phrases Blunt made in the video stood out to me. Course, I’m taking them out of context, but it gave real meaning to this DeceptiCON’s words:
“good legislative partners from both sides”
“create an environment of opportunity” i.e. retirement pension $$$
Yes, we know exactly what traitor Blunt meant.
Good riddance to bad rubbage. May God’s justice be applied.
I’d like to wish all of these traitors a long healthy life and a happy retirement, but I can’t and I won’t.
If I ever meet any of them face to face, I would tell them exactly the same thing.
A Paul Ryan-type disembarkment by those realizing their con game has run out. Will save us a primary effort and expense. And focus instead on a Maga supporter.
This actually makes Ryan’s latest fund raising drive for Liz Chaney quite comical in contrast. LOL
I watch lots of intel type videos and one said Blunt was arrested..last month…anyone seen him in person??
Could be a mask double like Biden and many others.
Now that’s the best theory I’ve seen.
