If you are into the political weeds, specifically the Machiavellian aspects to the deepest political weeds, there’s an interesting article in The Hill today with quotes from people very close to GOP House Leader Kevin McCarthy.
Essentially, the nub of it is that GOP Conference Chairwoman Liz Cheney is about to get removed from her leadership position due to her continued antagonism of the MAGA supporters and President Trump.
After Cheney’s latest round of attacks against Trump and his supporters McCarthy is no longer going to defend Cheney from a frustrated republican caucus ready to get rid of her.
Cheney is likely to be voted out of leadership by the end of the month, depending on the timing of the next GOP conference assembly.
WASHINGTON – Top allies of House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy (R-Calif.) are vowing to oust Rep. Liz Cheney (R-Wyo.), one of the harshest critics of former President Trump in either party, from her leadership post by the end of the month.
They argue that the No. 3 Republican has repeatedly contradicted McCarthy and his team, undermining the party’s message and its efforts to take back the House majority in next year’s midterm elections.
“There is no way that Liz will be conference chair by month’s end,” one key McCarthy ally told The Hill on Monday. “When there is a vote, it won’t be a long conference; it will be fast. Everyone knows the outcome.” (read more)
The list of possible replacements for Liz Cheney includes Elise Stefanik (NY) and Jackie Walorski (Ind); both would be good replacements. Walorski was a wolverine against the Obama administration during the VA scandal, and Stefanik was a loyal MAGA ally during the impeachment effort. However, due to the depth of the swamp I would emphasize the need to keep a close eye on either.
All of that said…. Now I get into the Machiavellian angle of this DC swamp.
This is where the attack against Frank Luntz by Tucker Carlson starts to make sense.
I know Tucker Carlson is valued by many people in the MAGA community, but a DC leopard doesn’t change his spots (and often relies on short memories). If you have followed the deep weeds for a long time THIS REFRESHER will remind you of the issues with Tucker Carlson. My hunch is the attack on Luntz was not really an attack on Luntz, but really was cover for a presumptive attack on McCarthy. That’s how the Machiavellian DC swamp rolls.
I’m no fan of McCarthy, but his thirst for political wind-chasing is actually an asset when it comes to these creatures. With McCarthy you know what his priorities are… He is predictable. That is why he aligned with President Trump; and Donald Trump knows a person who wants advancement, even if that person is not trustworthy, can be an asset in DC because Trump holds the leverage -the raw political power- that is valuable to the GOP leader.
From the Machiavellian angle Carlson could likely have been positioning against McCarthy in order to assist Liz Cheney and that tribe of DeceptiCons. Tucker has a history here {Go Deep} that unfortunately people have forgotten. Maybe I’m wrong, but the most recent timing of the MAGA attack by Cheney and the McCarthy attack by Tucker are too coincidental to be dismissed.
Getting Liz Cheney out of a position of GOP influence prior to the 2022 primary races is a good thing in the same way that eliminating Eric Cantor was a good thing in 2014. However, we must be cautious as the DeceptiCon wing starts to make their moves now in an effort to have influence over those 2022 house races.
Keep your eyes wide open and trust no-one.

ps. Hello to TC producers.
I must say it is so good to know that we now have so many in the media, as well as in the congress and the courts and the DOJ and the FBI and the DOD, on our side that we can now easily afford to throw such imperfect ones like Tucker Carlson completely overboard. If we get much stronger, we will even be able to throw Donald Trump overboard, if we want, like if he ever recommends we all get the vacs or if he endorses Marco Rubio or any other things like that. Hell, we have gotten so strong now, with so many powerful allies all over the place, we can even throw each other and even ourselves overboard…
Exactly. Known as “letting the perfect get in the way of the good.”
He is just identifying that tucker has his allegiance to others .. not to MAGA movement. Not going to cling to someone just because there aren’t any others
I am not throwing TC overboard. He was never ON BOARD. In my book, he is a useful tool to accomplish the MAGA goals. Useful when he is right and not when he is wrong.
It isn’t rocket science to know :
1) the enemy of my enemy is my friend
2) politics can make strange bedfellows (sometimes)
It’s about not having your head in the sand and knowing what is unseen. And using that knowledge to the benefit of MAGA.
P Trump is the master of that skill set.
In politics you can’t look at everything in terms of Black or White; it’s all shades of grey.
It’s true that he does bring others into the fold. Who, hopefully, continue to do their own research, and I trust most do.
But for me personally, I have no use for him.
If I wanna see BS, I’d rather watch Rachel Maddow. She’s a hoot!
NOOOOOO
I cannot STAND that “woman”
I hate shades of gray. You either are, or not. Wishy washy is what’s killing the GOP
Keep your friends close, and your enemies closer.
Tucker is not an enemy, and he’s not an ally. He’s an asset.
Assets are used; they are useful when needed, and discarded when that use has expired.
Makes sense to me
Yep. Agree with that.
Tucker is the media equivalent of Ron Paul.
And Ron Paul is like the little girl with the curl: When he’s good, he’s very very good, and when he’s bad, he’s horrid.
For the record I don’t think that Sundance or many Treepers have ever thought Tucker was a reliable pro-MAGA voice. It’s not an issue of “perfect” versus “imperfect”. It’s that experience has proven that Tucker picks issues on which to opine supportively or critically, and his choices have not paralleled those of the majority of Deplorables.
It’s no secret that Tucker’s performances and some of his more passionate monologues have attracted a relatively large audience of which many are strong Trump/MAGA supporters.
But politics makes for strange bedfellows and relationships. I think Sundance, being aware of the dynamics behind Fox management and what they choose to allow on air, has simply opined that it is prudent to be cautious before accepting any pundits assertions at face value.
Well said. Tucker has an unreliable pretense.
…that being, the paycheck(s) from the (liberal) boss (with variable loose, or tight reins – which can vary based on the pol. (mis) timing (or a delay of truth, in an untimely, inconvenient to some (but benefit to others) sort of way).
For now, the boss likes to see show rating$ improve…. (in latter Oct -early Dec 2020, that was less of a concern)
Months later, another priority -from ‘the bos$’ may arise (again) and that message will not be directly relayed to the public, but it will be observable by the actions and / or inactions on some topics … (what about those laptop computers that some people leave laying around – with ‘interesting’ information…. that goes under reported…?
And what an anonymous whistleblower that can toot his / her horn… get the (fake) content reported on for months..and still stay anonymous…for 1.5 years….?)
I do not know
imho
Yep. Ebb and flow depending on the wind.
He trashed Sidney… OPENLY.
Didn’t know that. Thanks for the info.
The example of the Hunter Biden computer story where Tucker seemed to be on to something and then somehow the envelope was lost and then Hunter is a friend of mine and not wanting to “pile on” a guy when he is being overwhelmed and then . . . fizzle-fazzle . . . oh, nevermind . . .
Not turning on Tucker’s show anymore or even having Fox News on in the first place . . .
but WILL go and look at a video to glean any new tidbits which Tucker may have to offer . . . and appreciating the “heads up” from Sundance . . .
but no longer turning on Fox News!
Everything you said, I 100% am on board with. Great analysis.
That is pretty much my sentiments as far as “Cucker” and Fox News is concerned. He is useful some of the times, good for him! Fox News is controlled opposition and they who still want to remain relevant should remember Megan Kelly and what it’s done for her career.
Turned Faux News off on Nov. 4 and have never looked back. They are dead to me.
“It’s no secret that Tucker’s performances and some of his more passionate monologues have attracted a relatively large audience of which many are strong Trump/MAGA supporters.”
Keep in mind that they are just that, Tucker’s “performances”. He is, after all, paid to put on a show.
Yes, and the show he puts on never craps on America. It does crap on some Americans who need crapping on, IMHO.
An excellent assessment of both Tucker Carlson and Fox News… they make very specific choices about what they will or will not discuss and when it aligns with our agenda, they are happy for the increased viewership but that is never their primary objective and we would all be wise to remember that.
Yes Ma’am. Exactly…..(and thank you. )
THANK YOU
Exactly
This is the network that opened the door for the gang rapists, let them gang rape you, pretended it didn’t happen, and now that your rapist is in charge of your country they want you to make them money by them doing stories about how awful this rapist is now that he’s in charge.
Give me a break.
They were supposed to be our heroes, our firefighters. Turned out they are among the arsonists who set the fires they pretend to put out for the cameras.
This is why Tucker is still there on Faux, and Lou Dobbs is giving an interview from his car after driving his wife to the dentist.
But there’s a price.
Lou was beaming with the happiness of being at peace with himself. I sincerely hope that the upcoming media secret he was hinting at has something to do with PDJT.
And poor Tucker looks increasingly as if his digestion is paying him back.
I’m always amazed that people continually go back and forth…
“Tucker is great, the best for the MAGA movement “. ”Tucker sucks, I’m never watching him again”. “Wow, I think Tucker learned his lesson to not go against us, I’ll give him a 10th chance”
If I’ve learned anything about life, it’s that my trust in you (anyone) starts at 0% and it never ever reaches 100% because we’re all human and we’re bound to make mistakes. I’m very happy NOT trusting Tucker at all!
I agree completely. I like to eat the meat and spit out the bones. You can learn something from anybody. Theres a lot of people on CTH I really like, but I haven’t found a perfect one yet, but I still like you anyway. And yes I know “my concern is noted”
Tucker the man might not be a reliable “ally”, but his monologues are.
In war, being adaptable and willing to use any and all resources–no matter their origin or allegiance–is the mark of a shrewd tactician.
I quit watching Fox after their Nov. 3rd treachery–but I still watch Tucker. He has important things to say and it would be foolish not to listen. While I would not want him in a foxhole with me, I still want him saying what he says.
? I won’t argue with that rationale. I watch videos of Tucker monologues or interviews when they are especially noteworthy and mentioned here by Sundance or Treepers.
I guess you miss the part where Trump called himself the “father of the Vaccine?”
I don’t think too many of us missed President Trumps prideful ownership of the rapid “vaccine” development and deployment.
I hope that in time he backs off that subject because I believe he did not understand the truth about vaccine development; he was using his strong business acumen to accelerate a process that by its very nature cannot be accelerated and be safe.
I also think he did not understand the evil nature of the mRNA agents since they are NOT vaccines. But everyone around him led him to believe that last year.
It’s the one area that I think the president did not handle anywhere near as well as the very successful business and economic agenda that he pushed.
I still support him 100%
I support him too, that doesn’t mean he gets a pass for when he messes up, and as far as the vaccine and Covid issue is concerned and his reaction to it was certainly a mixed bag where he trusted people like Fauci and Birx. That was a colossal mistake on his part.
“I don’t think too many of us missed President Trumps prideful ownership of the rapid “vaccine” development and deployment.
I hope that in time he backs off that subject because I believe he did not understand the truth about vaccine development; he was using his strong business acumen to accelerate a process that by its very nature cannot be accelerated and be safe.”
That is what has always worried me about Trump that most are missing, is that sometimes ego undermines the best of intentions. It’s my hope that he has enough sense to get out of the way and allow DeSantis to run in 2024 and work behind the scenes where he can be most effective, but I doubt he will do that.
Had you been President at the time of the pandemic, what experts would you have trusted?
Ha ha – I’d have come here to see what sundance said…
Mark Steyn has an interesting take on this whole affair.
On Friday, Tucker did a hefty monologue on the bizarre influence over the GOP leadership of corporate lobbyist Frank Luntz and his bollocks “focus groups” of fourteen eternally undecided voters in the back room of a strip mall in Jersey. He was trying to find a simple answer to the perennial question: Why does the Republican base never get what it votes for?

Because a conservative in Seattle.(michael medvid)
Is a cherished libtard in TEXAS!
The conservative agenda gets weaker and fungible in the hopes of attracting and converting libtards to (our side).
And we end up with mushy conservatives WE have to please in order to maintain their support.
We should ALWAYS use conservative principles to guide the party.
Because as RUSH always proved daily.
“Conservatism works everywhere it’s been tried.”
RUSH IS STILL RIGHT!
I’ve lived in Seattle my whole life and Michael Medved has never been a conservative! He has always been a pompous blowhard, far too impressed with himself and constantly needing to name-drop. The worst mistake stations like KVI or KTTH made were to push out true conservatives and give more airtime to people like Michael Medved.
100%?
Wasn’t he a movie critique? Hollywood-dependent.
Conservative voices have to get louder and start standing up and fight for what they believe in! More United and more determined to beat back this wave of Marxism sweeping the country! Play dirty too! Democrats do it so why not use their own playbook against them? It’s now or never folks! This is war!
There’s been a number of encouraging developments. I admit I can get Eyore-ish sometimes. But MLB is backpedaling hard. Coke is backing down. The execrable Swamp creature Cheney is being jettisoned by other execrable swamp creatures because the wrong people have been suitably “encouraged” to do the right thing.
Keep it up people. Call. Light up the phones. Cancel Amazon. Boycott target. Bounce Disney Plus.
It works.
I’ve been doing my part. No coke products in three weeks, and no more buying off Amazon 🙂 Wish I could do more.
You are doing what you can, waynesteapartyworld.
I appreciate the effort.
TY
What do we replace Amazon with?
Find your favorite brands on Amazon and buy directly. If you can afford to buy in bulk, contact the company and ask if they’ll give you wholesale prices.
I’m doing this now with goods I need for my business: buy three months at a time and get a discount for quantity. Have made some great professional relationships in the process.
It takes some effort, but it’s better than funding the destruction of my children’s future.
I agree that using the (admittedly excellent) Amazon search engine and then going around them direct to the seller is a good choice.
But first I just use a non-googlevil search engine and look for made in the usa. Failing that, made anywhere except the CCP.
Yes, I have had to pay shipping for some things. Entirely worth it!
I keep amazon in the “no other option” category. I use it only if I’ve exhausted every other option.
Also will never fly Delta again. Another easy one.
I stopped buying Coke 25 years ago
Artificial rubbish
Poison
How is MLB backpedaling?
They aren’t
Mlb wants to maintan their exemption from Antitrust regulation.
I dont watch Fox on tv, but I do read their site. And has anyone else noticed the tone of the headlines since Biden took office? Whoever is writing the headlines is either very MAGA or wants to be. It all seems to be pointing to: America is PISSED and we aren’t taking this anymore. I mean, little kids telling Joe and Jill, ‘we hate the masks and we take naps during our school zoom times..’ America is watching every single thing they all do. For once! Good going America 🙂
Are you serious?
It’s the same UniParty/UniMedia con we’ve been talking about forever. We all said this would happen months ago.
1) THEY steal the election for Bribed-en, OUR fake noise FOX and fake politicians the RINOs HELP and ALLOW the steal
2) They take their bribes
3) THEN they go back to WWE pretending to oppose each other as suckers like you watch and make them their second windfall, and the RINOS fake oppose Bribed-en and collect donations from suckers like you
THEY HELPED YOUR RAPIST RAPE YOU, THEN PRETEND TO FORM A GO FUND ME TO “GET JUSTICE”
Rinse and repeat
I notice you still have Obamacare even though your politicians ran on getting rid of it until you gave them absolute power.
HERE’S THE TEST, IS THERE ONE HEADLINE ABOUT THE MARICOPA AUDIT OF THE STATE FOX NOISE HELPED START THE CHEAT, ARIZONA?
If not you do not have a closet ally. You are again funding your rapist.
Fox turns our country over to demons, then acts as if they are truth-telling little angels?
They not only raped our country, now they want us to come back for more?
Hell no.
loriann1, fox is doing what they do best criticizing democrat policies. They did their part in the effort to hurt Trump’s chances for reelection, and I for one have no intention of forgetting it.
They are just returning to their former business model of being the “conservative network” now that Trump is out of office. Fox is Just like the republican senators they have on constantly bemoaning the border crises, ranting about the dangers of a weak policy toward china and the wild spending proposed by the Biden administration.
We had a president where these issues were not a problem, but the republicans and fox did not want him reelected. They really think we are stupid.
We are pretty stupid. For the most part.
Exactly – Fox is there to keep a tight lid on the Overton Window of “conservative” ideas. They are gate keepers for right-wing audiences frustrated with mainstream news. Bought and paid for by the Deep State.
The Deep State is obsessed with gatekeeping and controlling all media consumed by consumers/voters. It’s why they dismantled any free speech possible on social media once President Trump was elected. We are left with fringe websites as any sort of free outlet to share information.
“Fringe” websites like this excellent one.
And more and more excellent ones popping up every day, too.
Try the National Pulse. Try Revolver News.
Plus always-reliable true American websites like American Thinker.
The important part is to get every conservative you know afflicted with Normalcy Bias to open their lazy eyes…
Excellent advice!
No Coke. No Minute Maid. No Target. No Amazon. Friend of ours had her baby registry on Amazon – we gave her cash and said to get what she needed most, we don’t buy off of Amazon. No Disney, either.
Well I successfully avoided one of those today. We’ll see about tomorrow.
Good for you, TreeClimber. Always stand up and support young families getting started. This is one area where more seasoned people whether politically, spiritually or financially can set a good example and be a support system to young men and women starting their own families. It is a perfect way to serve others.
We’re actually a young family ourselves – we have two toddlers and another one due in June – but she’s a good friend and I wanted to help her out.
You should still shop at Target on their annual George Floyd Day 100% Off Sale!
I definitely respect you having your own opinion. Thats one of many things that make this the greatest country on earth. My opinion is, that boycotting is one of the lefts favorite tactics. But more importantly, while your trying to hurt the upper management, you’re hurting the lower level employees that get less hours or lay offs. And I bet many of them are actually Trump supporters. And I don’t know about you, but I don’t want to hurt them or their families just because I want to punish someone else.
Then keep doing the same thing expecting different results.
We now live in an oligarchy. If you want to influence change you need to make the Oligarchs feel the financial pain (you cant be an oligarch without the money) and you need to get involved in local politics.
If you are not willing to do both, then we will not make a dent.
I happen to agree. I know of several people who are lower-level workers – my husband almost worked for Coke – and yes, they’re the ones getting the pay cuts, not the top. But there’s not a lot of other options right now, either.
I am doing my part to make sure the My Pillow employees keep their jobs, and that many around the USA in small companies few ever heard of keep their jobs.
That’s good enough for me.
We already are doing all that. cancelled AMZ. I never go to target. never drink coke. giving costco membership because they removed lindell’s my pillow.
Preach
I’ve picked two hard “no s”coca cola and Disney. They’re easy to cut off. I don’t watch basketball of any kind either. I don’t have Facebook or twitter. I’m missing nothing by avoiding award shows and late night shows.
You hit what is so important. People can now see “one of many” does make a difference. It only gets more effective as more people see the power of “one of many”.
luntz is probably overwith too. 🙂
Luntz still has his corporate piggy bank. But his GOP RINO slush fund might dry up a bit.
He could always sell all those weird apartment decorations on ebay.
Donald Trump handed a floundering GOP a once in a generation lifeline which RINOs are now using to hang themselves.
Maybe that’s the whole idea…
Maybe all this will eventually fall under the category of the Lord works in mysterious ways.
Very interesting take! 4-D chess?
God plays 4-D chess, yes. I rarely like watching.
I think the 2022 house choices will be the indication of whether DJT has changed the repubs. Yea its local politics but if the maga-esque ones win the seats the leaders of the party will have some thinking to do. Ignore the Senate for now it’s a cesspit. But let them know we re coming for them too.
Don’t fool yourself – the RINOs will leave office with very lucrative pay-outs. It’s why there is a never-ending parade of RINOS in DC. Play ball with the other side and you get a cushy lobbying career.

Carlson is first and foremost a member of the controlled (controlLING) opposition. He is not to be counted on when the chips are down; we know that from January and so many other dates/events.
He reads what his producers write, and his producers write teleprompter scripts approved by Fox minders.
Imposters, dog-whistle-blowers and gaslighters…none of them are to be trusted, but to take note of where the writers of The Narrative want the public mind to go is important.
Political-opposition-defiance-disorder (P.O.D.D) is a civic virtue!
Depending on one’s point of view, Carlson went off message or dove into his real message, before the fraudulent election. His words seemed to come out of a windsock in the midst of a desert haboob.
I don’t buy the hot mic accident. I think McCarthy did that on purpose. Wouldn’t be the first time a politician did that.
I would not believe until i see. Mccarthy is another lying rat.
Tucker’s crime in your eyes happened when Sidney, on Tucker’s program, had no evidence that stood up only allegations around election fraud. He then started leaving election fraud alone.
All the Republican US Senate are Never Trumpers to some degree and most of the House the same.
Never forget the ban on recess appointments was devastating for PDJT….that was arranged by the Republican Senators.
With Tucker you want purity you aren’t going to get.
There was and is plenty of “evidence” starting with THOUSANDS of affidavits which are by definition EVIDENCE….moving from there the Dominion “irregularities” noted and logged in multiple states, the GA video with ON SCREEN evidence of election fraud, the multiple times conservative observers were banished from counts and the general public was restricted from viewing by pizza boxes and other methods….almost every state has provisions that REQUIRE observers from both sides to have access AS the ballots are tallied….If the Dimm/commies had nothing to hide…WTH were they hiding?
Fact is, each individual on this site who is MAGA cannot get “purity” from other individuals on this site who are MAGA.
For God sakes, we aren’t clones of one another but some act as if we should be.
Clones are Democrats.
Bribed traitors aren’t rugged individualists, traitor apologist.
Yeah, nobody is worried about perfection or why would we like Trump, murderer Moses or King David for that matter?
The issue is a DECEIVER.
He’s a deceiver
Notice he was chosen to have an expanded role on FOX noise AFTER the steal while Lou Dobbs exposing the steal and totally MAGA all the way was dropped.
I cannot wait to make Dobbs a star with my loyal viewing on the Trump Media Dynasty platform
Tucker is deceptive
I wonder how Mr MaGaY would fare here. As distasteful as most here find those people to be, you want to have that flank represented. Donald did with Ric Grennell, the best thing that ever happened to the DNI.
Everyone in the Senate was complicit in denying Pres Trump recess appointments. None of them are good for us.
Errrrr?…that’s what I said.
Oh please.
He attacked her from the get-go when she brought it up and never gave her a chance to even answer a question. Just abruptly accused her of having no evidence.
The refused to see the evidence and punted back to state officials overseeing elections. No subpoenas no sworn testimony.
No-one excoriates The Dementia Man’s administration on tv prime time like Tucker.
Be grateful for any intelligent tv ally you can get in these troubled times.
Or we’ll be left with the barely literate ” let me tell you what you think, it’ll save time” Hannity.
hannity is a dunce, but he’s our dunce……………unfortunately
Funny, I had this same thought driving today.
I wonder if Liz of the Lizard People will take any of her buddies down with her?
One thing about it, when the chips are down, these swamp creatures have a survival instinct second to none. Watching who throws who under the bus over the next couple of years will be entertaining.
Even more so, because I no longer give two shits about the survival of any of them.
Someone please make a list of them
Oh dear the list will be more than 2 pages long!
No, Kevin boy, this won’t work either. You’ve got a looooong way to go before we come back. You can start by defending AZ when the hits come fast and hard. Shirt of that…..forget about it.
Thank you SD for all the information especially when you go DEEP open my eyes. I hope we get rid of Kevin McCarthy as he is antithetical to MAGA, including the traitors both the commies and rinos in our party. We need to clean house of all enemies of MAGA.
LtoL, We associate Trump with MAGA, and I am grateful to him for what he did for the people of this country. What we as voters/citizens have to do has nothing to do with Trump other than what he taught us.
These so-called republicans have sat idly by reaping the benefit of office, but paying no attention to what their voters want have to go. It can’t be done all at once, though. I think it’s very important to take the house back in 2022. If that means Kevin, so be it. He can be controlled, and we have to stop the crazy leftist before they destroy the country.
I could care less about the senate republicans. Except for about five, all the rest need to go. Five republicans have announced their retirements. I regret Scott and Rubio were not among them.
How many of us have had our eyes opened by Trump that were not fully open before? I voted for Bush and Mittens. Can’t stand either now. My views of the GOP are far different today than they were in the past. I thought Trump was a buffoon at first. Love the guy now. Maxed out in my donation for him in 2020. Why can’t Tucker Carlson have traveled the same journey, at least as related to the GOP and who they really are? What is being proposed here is a bridge too far for me. It’s BS in my opinion. Tucker Carlson is one of the good guys and we need him… badly!
He may want to be one of the good guys, but many of those couldn’t survive on less than a 7 figure (or maybe 8 figure) income. He knows who pays his salary……and it ain’t us in the middle class.
Chess play: Liz even fist bumped Biden on cam… All to get us to see McCarthy in a new light, a new new light.
thank you mccarthy, we forgive it all. carry on with Biden now.
Am I getting this straight? So, Liz (given her last name) is probably quite protected deep state……untouchable. McCarthy was maybe getting outside his controlled opposition box too much with too much MAGA thinking and a bend toward Trump supporters. Tucker handlers gave him the green light to dump on McCarthy?
After musing, that is the conclusion I came to. A warning to all that the Bush/Cheny/Clinton group has no intention of letting go of their power. A clear message to anyone who might even THINK of putting a crack in their anti-Trumper’s narrative or threatening to remove their chess pieces (Liz) from the board will be destroyed.
The Tucker hit piece was meant to be a warning. It is the only thing that makes all the pieces fit.
The answer- get rid of both Cheney and McCarthy. Both have shown to be duplicitous in their stances. McCarthy is just not as urgent. That’s how we fix it.
Let them oust each other. Makes our jobs as voters easier- well, that of course is if voting even matters.
Interesting comment:
A warning to all that the Bush/Cheny/Clinton group has no intention of letting go of their power.
However, the first thing that reminds me of is the competitor to that faction. Sundance has made it pretty clear he thinks the Obammunist faction is running the cabal now.
If Cheney is aligned with the Clintons, the O faction would want her out.
But what if anything would they gain from also scuttling McCarthy in the process?
Which faction is Ryan aligned with? He’s the power at Faux now, right?
So many possibilities…
Brant, very astute observation. I think Tucker is just a wild card, he has a mind of his own and does some good work. However, anyone who works in media is controlled to some extent. The extent is don’t cross a line you have been told not to cross. Lou Dobbs wouldn’t back down and he was fired.
Tucker is very much an insider in Washington. He knows the gossip and who is doing what. He publically exposed Frank Luntz. I don’t think many of us thought much of him and his polls, and as a bonus got in the shot, well deserved, at McCarthy. This was apparently ok with fox management.
Whoever is in South carolina please vote for lin wood as GOP chair. They have this lindsey Grahams friend Drew there for ever. another snake oil salesman. He berated the bikers for Trump last week. Gen Flyn and Sidney are campaigning for Lin Wood.
We need to get all thsese so called republicans out. Drew claims Trump supported him but that was in 2017. He is a bad dude.
Would love to. Unfortunately with where I am located, and about to be located, I do not have municipal representation or party representation. Doughnut holes suck.
fair enough. But whoever can please do.
You know, sometimes the more simple explanation is the most accurate one. I believe some fellow named Occam came up with that theory. ?
Tucker was indeed a bow tie wearing, inside the beltway type. Trump and Reagan once were democrats too. Point being, people sometimes change for the better.
I’m sure Tucker knows that by putting heat on McCarthy that it will force him to move right to, as SD says here, keep himself in line for the speaker position in 2022. Dumping Liz is a win/win for everyone.
And McCarthy can be dealt with later. Because he too needs to be dealt with.
You see how visible Georgie Bush has been of late.
He’s been enlisted to save the GOP!! As if any of us could EVER stand him.
He was the lesser of two evils both times: first, Gore; then, Kerry.
George will never save the GOP with those disgusting, low talent, paintings he publish. After a few brush strokes from Trump, he will get back into his bath tub and play with his rubber ducky.
A warmonger has no role in the republican party.
Trump just put this website on telegram.

you can like and speak freely he says.
Been there 6 times and keep getting a 505 message when i try to sign up.
Will try again, for sure!
McCarthy admits that he rented a room with Luntz for a ‘few months”??? Huh??
He is calling a friend. Mccarthy has to go. Jim jordan should replace him.
Who is actually still watching and being influenced by FAUX News? They proved beyond a doubt that they’re controlled opposition and always have been during the 2020 election. Watching FAUX, even just Tucker, is like giving money and support to the guy your wife used to cuckhold you. Get some self respect.
No it isn’t. If you already have cable, gleaning useful information from any channel is worthwhile.
I have SiriusXM for the music, but Fox is part of the package. Listening to Tucker’s show has no downside to it.
I have been waiting for the reason Tucker did this “reporting “. Could be more than one but there is no way this is “investigative” reporting for reporting sake. I do not trust any of these people.
Liz remaining the party leader is a SYMPTOM of uniparty rot inside the GOP. Removing Liz from her post doesn’t change the evil within.
Tucker use to wear a bowtie. Always, always be leery of those Folks. George Will, late Sen. Paul Simon….you get my drift.
Pee wee Herman.
Just saying
LMAO!!
Classic……made my night.
Foppish, little finger in the air tea-sipper.
Tucker was the one who jumped all over Sydney Powell when she brought up 2020 election “irregularities” shortly after the sham “election”.
He was rude and attacking and she never appeared on FNC again (as far as I know). He basically Blew. Up. at her.
Can’t stand the guy.
He ‘s got a good gig pointing out the foolishness of the Left, which- let’s face it- ANYONE could do.
But when it comes to the Right -or even Middle of the Road kind of stuff- he’s worthless.
I think he was supposed to get the evidence so “the powers that be” could find out what proof Sidney had so they could counter it and Tucker became enraged because she wouldn’t give it all to him…Kind of like Tony Bobulinski and the mysterious second evidence that was never mentioned again.
Could be . Anything’s possible.
SOMETHING made him really angry.
And dang, was it ever *pathetic* to watch.
I’ve been thinking, all, everything, this is interconnected (election fraud, impeachment fraud, beach friends, etc). There is probably a lot more intertwined that we don’t know.
The only way they can do this is and keep it up is through the threat on mutually assured destruction (after all, they are all war mongers connected to the Military/Industrial Complex). What we need is for a brave congressman or senator or two to come forward and list all their transgressions and asking for our forgiveness in which they then layout everyone else’s.
At this point I could careless what they did in the past. The truth shall set you free!! I only care that we can reestablish the normal rule of law and working in a Constitutional framework.
Be brave, do it, the people will support you.
Eric C. it may not be the people’s support they are concerned about, but their very lives.
Cheney out in next 10 days. McCarthy out by the end of the month. Neither can survive the next election. Both are useless to the MAGA movement. Rona McDaniel is another loser. She is just a cocktail party troll.
They’ll try to put someone in they think we will trust.
Yoda says, “No try, only do.”
The WILL put someone in they THINK we will trust.
richard, I agree on Lizzy and Ronna, but President Trump apparently sees some value in McCarthy at this point. I don’t much care for him, but I will wait and see how useful he is to Trump.
Did PDJT make any positive statements about McCarthy since Jan 6th?
I can’t find any. And didn’t McCarthy accuse PDJT of complicity in the so-called “riot”?
This kind of crap is why I wanted Trump to start a new party. The GOP is run by career politicians who will NEVER change who and what they are. During the next election, they will lie to get elected and then go back on their words. Lather, rinse, repeat. It never ends.
Like in sports.
The coach with the worst record, still gets hired from another ream in the same league.
Even though they watched him lose all last season.
This time will be different right?
Whatever the motivation I’d rather have Carlson on cable taking some decent shots at the left and some rinos compared to the majority of what else is on offer. Controlled opposition is better than none. Personally I don’t watch I can’t be getting wound up every evening I need sleep.
Tucker and Fox are dangerous because many people have no idea who they really are. So when they turn it on and see them pushing Tim Scott or Nikki Haley or some other Decepticon they will vote for said person. Then they will say again and again that we need amnesty to win etc. and will convince people that is true.
Leading up to the election, they pushed the ubiquitous false narrative that Trump would look like he was winning and then lose after mail in ballots were counted. How could they “know” this ? They were in on the steal since it’s conception.
They convinced many Republicans that women hated Trump and he was racist and his texts were mean so he shouldn’t be elected. They pushed fake poll after fake poll saying Trump was losing both times!
Don’t forget the doozy that Trump was responsible for the violent attacks on his supporters after rallies during the 2015 and 2016 campaign season.
Also, never forget that they conspired to take Trump out in the primaries in the Fox debate (Megyn, Chris Wallace and Bret Baier).
And finally how can anyone forget that they were a KEY component of the steal?? They were essential in getting Republicans to believe there was no fraudulent election. They called Arizona early knowing that last election it took days to determine the winner. If other organizations did it, there would have been deep skepticism which is why Fox had to be the one.
I know this is not additive to the conversation but I’m going to do it anyway.
Great Post!! Very accurate, IMO.
Two of a kind. They both need to go.
I don’t think Tucker is any fan of Liz Cheney. I’ve seen no evidence for that.
As long as Cheney/McConnell are in leadership postions. NOT. ONE. PENNY.
And I respond that way to every single fundraising letter, tweet, email, phone call I get.
Life long 40+ year straight ticket voting, thousands of dollars donated every year republican.
That’s why they’re freaking.
Danny, I think Scalise is just as bad.
“Keep your eyes wide open and trust no-one.”
Wise counsel, Sundance.
I don’t trust anyone-even myself (The heart is deceitful above all things, and desperately wicked: who can know it?
Jeremiah 17:9)-and especially a politician, TV commentator/’journalist’.
“It is better to trust in the LORD than to put confidence in man. It is better to trust in the LORD than to put confidence in princes.” (Psalm 118:8-9)
HE is the only ONE I trust, and I have found Him totally trustworthy!
Perhaps McCarthy saw my comment in the Fox News comment section where I called him a RINO and a noob tool for the establishment? Ha! Anyway I can I will do my part! One can hope anyway!Lol!
TC has good writers, maybe they research here. As another commenter pointed out: when TC is on other people’s shows, it is revealing. His appearance on the Adam Corolla show is another example (2018). Queued below at 58:29 talking about low paid household help. What does color have to do with it? -How does color change the rightness or wrongness of the situation?
Tucker will do Tucker.
He’s not Hannity.
Trump will do Trump.
Room for both and parallel each other more often than not.
Cheney, Luntz are both targets for removal for MAGA. And McCarthy may be as well.
Personally love to see Scalia as Minority Leader. Reminding everyone about the shooting.
I think you mean Scalise, not Scalia.
Unfortunately he would be the new boss, same as the old boss.
Exclusive — Liz Cheney Sent the Whole Republican Conference Amnesty Document Lifted Nearly Word-for-Word from Biden White House Document
https://www.breitbart.com/politics/2021/05/04/exclusive-liz-cheney-sent-the-whole-republican-conference-amnesty-document-lifted-nearly-word-for-word-from-biden-white-house-document/
Stefanik supported the trillion dollar pork-barrel bill. I’m not sure about Walorski .
Stefanik’s district is Upstate New York and it’s similar to the Rust Belt with high unemployment and no real tax base. She’s thinking of her constituents.
OK. Great. But she screwed the rest of us. So why give her a position where when she has to compromise like a RINO?
Maybe Cheny and her entrenched family actually believe the kind of stuff that J Shafer wrote today in politico. I mean…these people actually seemed surprised that Romney got booed. Hello. McFly! I wonder if they believe they can go forward with their Nikki, Romney, Cheny, etc. plan by just plodding forward as usual and forcing it down our throats. And why shouldn’t they think that? The Uniparty got Biden in. I mean…say no more…right?
“Cheney, who has more in common politically with the Republicans who have been knocking her than she does with the people who have been praising her, obviously decided to do a little bit of both—rise inside the Republican establishment while also working to distinguish herself from Trump. The impeachment saga presented her with not so much a test of courage but a fork in her career. Go down with Trump or ride his political corpse to glory? Some time ago she decided to saddle the old bull. While Trump might be bucking more than Cheney anticipated, the wild ride is burnishing her image the way John McCain’s defiance of Trump did his. The field is overstocked with Trump clones—Ted Cruz, Josh Hawley, Ron Desantis, Kristi Noem, Mike Pompeo, Nikki Haley, Tom Cotton, et al. Having studied politics for decades under her mother and father, Cheney has surely gamed this out. You can call her courageous all you want and express your astonishment at her opposition to Trump. But there is more calculation on display here than there is valor.”
Tucker Carlson is a solid conservative rock right now and has been for some time…who would you replace him with? We all know that allegiances shift in Washington. Hell, we have seen that on this site and we all know it.
I received a request for a donation for Lynz Piper-Loomis, who is running against Nancy Mace in SC district #1.
She isn’t in my district and I haven’t heard of her. Her words about Nancy Mace: “She is more concerned with pandering to the woke left and swampy establishment than the people of her district. Already, she’s best friends with Liz Cheney and Kevin McCarthy.”
Has anyone heard of her?
I’m asking after seeing Sundance’s comment: “Keep your eyes wide open and trust no-one.”
mace worked for sc trump campaign in 2016 but turned back in 2021 for sure
Do you know Lynz Piper Loomis?
“House GOP Leader”
should ALSO be out of his “leadership” role – well before the end of the month!
You know what this country needs?
A: Less Luntz and more Lantz.
If politicians were spiders that spun noticeable webs, DC would be an impassable jungle of tangled cobwebs.
But politicians are not spiders so they can hide their traps and deceptions from their voter dupes with relative ease.
One of the most striking reminders in this article, given recent revelations, is this sundance quote from the November 19, 2020 link:
“Frank Luntz had sub-contracts with Marco Rubio and a long-term relationship with Rubio going back to the Freshman Senator’s time in the Florida Legislature. Rubio alone has paid Luntz $350,000+ It’s not accidental that Frank Luntz focus groups regularly found Marco Rubio as the winner of debate and opinion programming.”
Luntz has been subverting the interests of Conservative voters for sometime with the effusive and friendly support of GOP politicians.
Second time around on Liz’s chairmanship… ?
I swear the party does this stuff on purpose to appease it’s base.
They are MOSTLY ALL TRAITORS
Flashback: GOP House Whip Steve Scalise Brought Former DNC Chair Donna Brazile with Him as Guest to Biden inauguration – Skipped Trump’s Farewell Speech
https://www.thegatewaypundit.com/2021/05/flashback-gop-house-whip-steve-scalise-brought-former-dnc-chair-donna-brazile-guest-biden-inauguration-skipped-trumps-farewell-speech/
spoogels, I haven’t forgotten Scalise’s harsh criticism of President Trump on January 6th. He has stated Lissy is a friend. Maybe not the best of reasons to dislike him, but I do.
Not writing another big list here right now but looks like Jackie Walorski is not so great either. IS there some big push for a woman? Can’t we just pick the best person???
Anne, I couldn’t agree more. Apparently there has to be a woman in the leadership to check the diversity box. That’s great if she is the best qualified person for the job.
