Once you see the strings on the marionettes, you can never return to that time in the performance when you did not see them. I have often repeated this phrase specifically as it pertains to political motives and the intents of the professionally republican, the DeceptiCons.
Late December, the New York Times reported {LINK} that South Dakota Senator John Thune, the heir apparent to Senate Leader Mitch McConnell, was considering retiring because the Trump influence, the MAGA base, was not in alignment with his corporate and Wall Street donor class worldview.
Those who have watched closely know Senator Mitch McConnell has positioned Senator Thune to take over in the Senate (zipper problems not withstanding). The Machiavellian purpose of the positioning is to put Thune in place as a line of defense to protect the interest of the political establishment and the aligned Fourth Branch of Government.
Now, follow this sequence closely….
Yesterday, the New York Times announced that Thune was indeed going to run for reelection {LINK}. “Senator John Thune of South Dakota, the second-ranking Senate Republican, announced on Saturday that he would seek re-election, after an aggressive lobbying campaign by colleagues prompted him to put aside concerns about the future of his party and pursue a fourth term.”
Today, the usually invisible other Senator from South Dakota, Senator Mike Rounds, appears on ABC This Week with George Stephanopoulos, to undermine Donald Trump and say the former president “could be prosecuted” for his involvement in the J6 terrorist attack “if the DOJ has evidence.”
I am prompting the remarks from Mike Rounds below. WATCH:
You never usually see this guy Mike Rounds…. who happens to sit on the Senate Foreign Affairs Committee… yet suddenly, the day after Thune makes his reelection bid public, Senator Rounds sticks his head out of his hole to undermine Donald Trump?
Hmmm??… South Dakota politicians being very, well, public and stuff.
But wait, it gets better.
Over on Fox News, at the same time as South Dakota Senator Mike Rounds is talking to Stephanopoulos, the leading member of the Council on Foreign Relations, Maria Bartiromo, is suddenly interviewing South Dakota Governor Kristi Noem…… and guess what the primary subject is?
Yup, food production. WATCH:
.
The DeceptiCons know what is coming. The DeceptiCons are positioning to take political advantage of the food supply chain crisis they know is about to happen. The DeceptiCons want the food crisis as much as the people behind Joe Biden want the opportunity the crisis represents.
Stand back and look at what is assembling.
DeceptiCons: Anti-Trump. Arrest Trump. Prosecute Trump. Thune replace McConnell. Noem for 2024.
You often hear people wonder why the GOP doesn’t push-back against the Democrats. The reason is simple, the GOP are the right wing of the UniParty bird, the Democrats are the left wing. They are both attached to the body of big corrupt government.
In this food supply chain issue, the Republican wing sees an opportunity.
In this food supply chain issue, the Democrat wing sees an opportunity.
Governor Kristi Noem is the Koch Brothers version of Nikki Haley. A Wall Street donor favorite and open border immigration advocate who has been positioned to be a potential Republican candidate for 2024.
Senator John Thune, Senator Mike Rounds and Governor Kristi Noem all suddenly appear in the headlines and on television, and all positioning for political influence.
For such a small state, that is 100% owned by the Wall Street multinational agricultural industry, it’s a rather remarkable coincidence, no?
“Once you see the strings”…
Sorry to ruin your strategery fellas. Say hi to Mitch for me.
South Dakota has a semi-RINO governor and two full fledged RINO senators and portrays itself as a model of American values, maybe it is
Semi-RINO? Yes or NO, there is no semi-traitor.
“You are neither hot nor cold, but tepid, and you make me sick.”
Kristi Noem is the type of Governor that every State would love to have. Her priority is to serve the citizens of her State. There is nothing she has done that would equate to being a semi-RINO, unless you have a warped definition of a Republican. Get real!
Did you even read the above article. She’s a dyed-in-the-wool RINO. Then when she gets caught in something not-so-Republican, she becomes ‘conservative.’
This is why 90+ % of incumbent ruling class parasites get reelected and they know it.
Opportunity???? if SD’s predictions about prolonged empty store shelves comes to pass this country will boil over with furious anger the likes of which has never been seen before – anyone (McConnell, Biden, Thune and all the rest) remotely connected with this looming disaster will be the targets for this… If they cannot foresee that this will put former PDJT on a rocket sled back to the WH… they are way stupider than even I thought…
That’s why they know they need to have Trump arrested, duh.
Yeah, and why behind the scenes, they promise full cooperation with the elections machine, like they did in 2020. Do these republicans know that we know they’re in on the scam to keep us from electing a president? I bet they don’t.
These scumbag human trash Dukes and Dutchesses keep forgetting we read Sundance. They will keep underestimating President Trump’s influence. WE ARE THE MAJORITY. We will Smash these Marxists. I hope Rope Factories are working. Gimpy Old Potato face Turtles are no match for The MAGA ARMY. America will not be led by Wyoming. Just sayin.
Gov Noem on Maria’s show yesterday went after international, especially Chinese, ownership of Big Ag. I thought that was pretty good. Not sure why Sundance is so down on her.
Because she is a transparent fraud, that’s why Sundance is down on her. The larger question is why you and millions of supposed conservatives can’t see it? It’s written all over her face. This is a woman who couldn’t even come down on the side of the people over trannies destroying girls’ sports in her state. It doesn’t get any more local than that.
Yes, she made a mistake not signing the girls-only bill, but says she has now banned any trans in women’s sports by executive order. What else?
She vetoed the law, and you find that acceptable?
And you’d rather executives sign some illegitimate “order” on all important matters? How about they sign an order for your execution, would that be acceptable government? That’s what occurs under the fascism you seem to prefer.
Let’s not do that.
You must’ve not seen her statement on mandates and workers.
She doesn’t care about the people. She will always put corpos first.
she is basically saying “Let them eat cake?”
Yep. Semi-RINO is correct. Sanford Health is her biggest contributor. So disappointing. Two wings, same bird. 😔
She thinks she’s special and has a chance at being a big star 😂 oh, they are all slowly outing themselves. She wrote a book about herself recently and when asked why she said “because I was told I should bc people want to know more about me” 🤮 no, wrong again CCP sheep Kristi… baaaah baaaah we know more than you think we do!
See above for starters. No protections for mandatory vaccines and her response was simply to get a different job if your employer requires the vaccine. She thinks she’s going to be President on 2024?! PLEASE. She doesn’t stand a chance, ever. None of these political lovers think anyone has been watching or paying attention around here, but we have and closely for many years. The webs are woven, but not thick enough to hide their truths.
Great reply, Liberator, We so need folks like you who absolutely get it….. We conservatives MUST be up on this information so we can get rid of these power-grabbers who speak from both sides of their mouths.
Thanks for helping the cause.
She is a bought and paid for hack for Sanford Health mafia
Well, she is cute.
So isn’t the picture of that hyena when placed along side of Kamala Harris.
Where do I start… as a resident of SD I promise you Noem is not what you think and Thune is the BIGGEST SCUMBAG Rino like you imagine and worse… Rounds is just as bad he’s just older and he’s been through every political career in SD he can possibly hold and his sons are as well as Noem and Thune- so long story short, it’s like a bunch of inbred politicians of a tiny state whom think they are sly and have everyone fooled with their “conservative” appeasements. I can’t wait until they cheat in the 2022 election because we are prepared and believe me we know how to make sure we have evidence. The CCP has been buying up some of the biggest Companies that Sioux Falls was built around… the largest pork production plant is owned by the Chinese CCP. The Mayor of SF has been on the CCP company sponsored trips to China town known for literally buying off Mayors in the Midwest. They just sold the biggest cement production company/land and space in SD to Cemex, which is a Mexican company known for child sexual trafficking and human trafficking and donated over 100 million to the Clinton foundation.
Rounds has been in the state house and senate, the governor, the congressional house and senate and the same goes for Thune except he has not been the Governor however he has been the commissioner of transportation and a few others I don’t recall specifically. The 3 of them are POLITICAL LIFERS AND THEIR WEBS ARE WOVEN SO DEEP- it’s weird. I’m not kidding. Sanford is the biggest HEALTHCARE employer in the state as well as the NCAA influence peddler that convinced Noem to veto the transgender bill bc they needed to have the Bb games in their brand new stadium built by tax payers and state grants and a write off for them for the remaining. We know have our version of Omar running for Mayor here and I’m telling you…. Thune knows he is hated and wanted out and will be voted out. They think they have a plan. We look forward to them enacting it.
Oh, and they also created the NUMBER ONE STATE TO LAUNDER $ in our Trusts… tax payers get nothing, but they get bought off by the corrupt international and national criminals to make it easier to hide their money for personal and professional businesses, inheritance, homes, investments… the list is long. Very long.
This was long with typos I don’t have time to go back and fix, but I’m sure my points are clear enough without being crystal clear 😉🙏
“The reason is simple, the GOP are the right wing of the UniParty bird, the Democrats are the left wing. They are both attached to the body of big corrupt government.”
I submit that they both are just playing roles in a play, directed and produced by …
Deductive Reasoning: Who Actually Controls the GOP?
Who controls the GOP? The GOP is made up of over 400,000 local precincts. Membership and voting rights are open to ALL registered Republicans in that precinct. Those who show up and do the work are in control.
Btw, at the start of 2021, 50% of those GOP precincts, about 200,000 of them, couldn’t find a volunteer leader.
I submit the GOP is controlled by the GOPe. The RINOs. Whether or not they can be overcome remains a battle to be fought. Yes, those who show up and do the work will gain control. So let’s show up.
The RINO RNC has controlled the Grand Opportunist Party since ’48. They are not for America but only for themselves.
You’re not 100% right, speaking from someone who tried to “volunteer” for an empty precinct captain. A friend tried to volunteer in her precinct (same county) as well.
Turns out that precinct captains don’t vet or interview candidates or participate in any debate or decision making. They are not allowed to vary from the county party leadership ie. If leadership are not MAGA, they’re not interested in MAGA candidates. The local party has its leaders and they are looking for anyone who has already “proven” their loyalty (ie. Contributed) to the pre-ordained candidates. In other words, you buy your way into a volunteer job where you do as you’re told by the party.
My friend and I were very fired up about this after reading The Precinct Strategy and immediately tried to jump in. Turns out a majority of these positions go unfilled year after year for a reason, and it isn’t for lack of available candidates. They’re not interested in grassroots MAGA influence.
This is the politics of politics. I’ve seen it here locally. Heck, I see it in my church. There is always someone who wans to “run” things. I couldn’t even get away from it by volunteering to usher at my church. Someone was always changing the rules to have it “their” way. I’m told to ignore this, but it’s not possible.
Is your country worth beating them at their own game with little a tiny bit of effort and determination? You are not competing against the Elon musk’s of the world.
In MN the caucus process is mainly for electing delegates and officers. There is no control of who gets these positions other than the few people who show up and vote. The caucus convener runs the program to get the voting for officers, party platform resolutions, and Governor straw polls done. So, if you have a small group of AF America First supporters going to a caucus, good chance you will prevail.
I think there are lots of these openings but leadership has to meet and vote in volunteers if it is not done at the caucus.
Well, do you know how you become the County Chair or Precinct Chair (different names in different states)? You bring more of your friends and family and you demand a vote for chair and make sure you have more people from your county/precinct show up to vote for you as the chair or your friend as the chairwoman/men. You can call a vote with a majority consent or follow the party rules in your state to elect a new county chair and make it happen. It’s been happening all over the country in several states with the old GOP hens trying to rule the roost. It’s not hard, just takes a little effort for a little while to push them out. It’s doable and you’ll be surprised how easy it was when you look back from your county chairwoman/man seat at the RiNos who no longer bother to come because you have MAGA precinct party members participating and getting out the vote for the candidates YOU ALL WANT TO WIN.
The ones who count the votes. It does need to be US but as you point out, we lack volunteers. Why’s that? Is the left to blame? Yes but only to the extent that they are now doing what we failed to stop them from doing long ago.
I’m reminded of Scott Adams of Dilbert fame. On the matter of statues which offend people, he just says “don’t be dick” because at that time, he didn’t fully appreciate what was happening. I think over time he has come to realize the cultural erosion which has been taking place which enables leftist activism and suppresses all else.
I haven’t checked in with him lately because I found his prior positions to be myopic and unpatriotic but once in a while I’ll see/hear something from him which seems to show he has been coming around.
I’m reminded of Adams because it has been his kind of lazy thinking which has enabled all of this to happen.
The people love to say “times are changing.” It’s not “times” that change, it’s the people and what they are expected to accept. TIME has absolutely NOTHING to do with it.
I don’t think my precinct in MN has any officers. I asked for their contact info to help out and learn but have not gotten any names. So, I have been asked to be caucus convener, which is normally a job for experienced delegates or officers.
Go to your caucus or meetings or whatever you have locally and you will likely get a voting position that is important to change the GOP. It’s not a lot of work and if they have no one currently doing the work, doing a little more than NONE is pretty easy.
Then why do they specifically listen to ANY foreign donor, power, group, etc and place their wants over the USA citizen needs?
$$$$$$$$
Big Ag, Big Pharma, and the Military Industrial Complex. If we bar all members of Congress and their immediate families from investing while in office and also do true campaign finance reform(kill the SuperPACS) then the corporatocracy would end and government would have to listen to the people.
Not just agribusiness but insurance too.
I would have loved to have been a fly on the wall when Trump had his Epiphany about Washington DC, “hey, this is just like pro wrestling!”
We have to defeat the Rino Scum first before we can defeat the Demoschittes.
I’m surprised by something.
“Why isnt President Trump widening his team” and giving “it a name”?
Why are you still unaware that President has been “widening his team”?
Why are you still unaware that the “official label” is MAGA?
Rather than offering armchair nit picks of President Trump, consider praying for him then joining him in the trenches.
The Serenity Prayer and Teddy Roosevelt’s “Man in the Arena” speech, both easily found on line, can be inspiring and helpful reads.
There are rules and laws about running for president and Trump appears to be following some of them by not officially announcing his run yet.
Taxes, disclosure, and organizing is all subject to scrutiny once you take certain steps.
Rounds is a RINO and a crook just like the fake President, time to primary this traitor and elect someone who will actually represent the people.
Koch Brother will make sure RINO Rounds will not be primaried.
That’s the other thing about trying to have any influence on the GOP at the local level. The Party almost never gets behind primary contenders. They want #1. To win. Running the encumbent is the virtually always the best way to win, and the party either doesn’t care that they’re a RINO scumbag or they prefer RINO scumbags. They had no use for the Tea Party and they have no use for MAGA
Conservative voting “liberty score”: Thune @38%(F); Rounds @41%(F). Says it all!
When Thune made the “Thinking about retiring” move last month, I put it together with rumors McConnell was thinking of retiring. I figured it was a way for Thune to tell McConnell “I’m not carrying your briefcase for 4 more years”. With this development, I’m guessing McConnell has decided to retire.
They’re going to float out new Thune leadership to get MAGA base reaction just like they’ve been floating Nicki Haley. I imagine their poling has already told them it’s a hard “no” on Haley. Maybe the party is floating Noem, but I also see that she seizes on opportunities and may just have seen the chance to be in the national conversation-After Rounds dumped on Trump, the national media would want to see if Noem was going to follow suit.
I don’t see the MAGA part of the base budging from Trump unless Trump steps aside for DeSantis to run. Apparently, the GOP would rather lose than get behind Trump (and probably DeSantis too). They haven’t realized yet that their base would rather lose than to vote in a RINO, so I guess this game of “Chicken” is on.
They are clearly threatening Trump that Republicans will support prosecution unless he stands down. I don’t think they’ll go further than this signaling because they will need to pretend it’s the Dems or someone who already fried their political career, like Cheney, doing it, but we will know. They just think we’re too stupid to know and have no idea how thoroughly the MAGA base will crush them in the midterms. This Republican will gladly leave Democrats in power before supporting a party that hates its base with a burning passion. We can all find a new party a lot sooner than they can find a new base. It’s Game On! for me.
I don’t think they yet understand or believe that we once loyal republican voters have been dissatisfied for a long time and that the line has now been crossed. Personally, I’m not sure enough of us will actually hold the line against the establishment Decepticons. And I think they will continue the same tactics for 2022. Unless enough us send them a strong message in 2022, they are not going to alter their strategy for 2024 either.
This is the reason I wanted so badly for PDJT to simply start a new party. The GOP is not going pack their tents based on what they believe are a small percentage of diehard “won’t vote for a Rino ever” voters. A new party, if it was supported by a huge percentage of previously republican voters would have gotten their attention better than this weak attempt to remold the existing and corrupted GOP.
The CTH has helped me to better understand the working & scheming of these corrupt GOPe politicians. I will pray for our country and send a check to Thune’s opponent as well as every other Rhino Pubbie! Time for a gift to CTH as well.
Democrats are openly enemies. Like soldiers in uniform. People like mcconnell and thune are enemies but not in uniform. More like spies.
Every time I hear something political about South Dakota, my mind flashes back to George McGovern.
“Once you see the strings . . . ” The state that brought us McGovern cannot escape that historical fact.
We don’t say it enough…
Republican decepticons… Neochristian progressives masquerading as conservatives very frequently by saying constitutional sounding things.
Very often dismissed by calling them RINOs, communist or other misnomers.
People have really got to learn to distinguish the difference if we’re ever going to claw back the 70+ years of party reigns from these guys.
Noem’s a no for me in the primary. However if she’s up against Shillary in the general, I’ll have to suck it up.
I’ll be forced to do a write in as I will not elect the lesser of evils when I know there is no difference in their evil master and who they serve.
Yup. Dubious digit salute to the insiders.
Note that there are many inferences that can be drawn from the agricultural stresses.
Mike, buddy: You & John -should- be prosecuted for High Treason, having knowingly certified the tainted Electoral College votes on 06JAN21 (even if by proxy/Pence).
Still Not Fooled.
Doom On You.
Looks as if Kristi has fallen prey to the to glamour industry by puffing up her lips. I guess she wanted to try to outdo Maria in lipsize.
Is Thune’s wife Chinese?
No, heck no! Enough of these old turncoats ruling by proxy
South Dakota is as leftist as Massachusetts or any other blue state:
Liberty Score:
John Thune “F” 38% in DC 17 years up in 2022
Mike Rounds “F” 41 % in DC 7 years up in 2026
Wow great analysis. I wonder how they will exploit this? Blame the shortages on covid I guess?
Conservatives, Trump voters or unvaccinated, of course.
Very disappointed in the people of South Dakota. They seem to like to elect scumbag globalists.
Riding the wave of conservative support of Dubya, these RINOs have simulated authentic conservatives effectively enough to unseat very strong D’s such as Tom Daschle and Stephanie Herseth.
While the RINO propensity was likely hidden in plain sight, they’ve each gone native in the DC Beltway, as full members of the Quisling Caucus. I assess that their ‘conservative base’ is now an illusion, to be simulated through Uni-party election-cheats, to defend them from legitimate primary challengers.
I cannot adequately express my disgust with the entire, traitorous, SD CODEL.
Yeah. We know. Now can you or someone else tell us what we can do about it? Kind of sick of all the talk, talk and looking for some action, action. Who can we trust? Who can we turn to for leadership? Enough of the BS complaining. What do we do????
