Throughout the process of explaining events, situations, contexts, people and ultimately motives, I always try to introduce metaphors, analogies and comparative situations as reference points to understand the premise behind the interpretation of events, data and analysis as it surfaces.
Treepers in general, likely by the outcome of our association, also do the same thing in the comment section.
That’s why reading the comments is always enlightening as it expands the thoughts and considerations.
In the comments section here, as with some other voices in social media, there are some exceptionally brilliant minds that review events and have fantastic ways to distill complex issues into the core essence of the thing.
Ziiggii said something today that is so perfectly succinct, it is worth emphasizing.
Overall, we can see the fingerprints of Mitch McConnell in the background of the Ron DeSantis campaign. It’s not that McConnell is attached directly to the campaign, but rather is aligned with the overarching theme of DeSantis as being the acceptable Republican candidate.
Wall Street and the multinational corps, along with K-Street writ large, are the mechanisms that support the philosophy of the professional GOPe, those are the same entities supporting DeSantis. The core objective is in synergy. Trump represents a loss of control for the financial operators, DeSantis retains the system.
This was a point I was making when I said McConnell’s outlook is essentially DeSantis’. Then Ziiggii replied with a mic drop. It’s not McConnell per se’ that is in alignment with the RdS ’24 objective, it’s John Thune!
THAT is a brilliant note.
The ideological difference between McConnell and Thune is nonexistent. However, the difference between McConnell and Thune is the GOPe baton being handed down to maintain the status quo. McConnell has been grooming Thune for years… Thune’s time is soon to surface; there will be no challengers to Thune becoming the next Republican Senate Leader; the system supports it.
McConnell does represent the legacy Republican outlook, and to Ziiggii’s point, Thune represents the next in line to maintain it.
Yes, Senator John Thune is representative in the DC system of corrupt DeceptiCon activity, as Ron DeSantis is representative in the GOPe presidential aspirations.
A point very well taken.
Well looking more like Thune, Inc

One of the more challenging facets, to awakening the general public on the scale of corruption within Washington DC, is the need for people to drop party designations.
This is never truer than within the U.S. Senate where the mistaken “us -vs- them” perspective remains a pesky hurdle.
The blue team and red team are mirror images of themselves. They are not opposites, they are mirrored – a big difference.
The policy objective is the same, the business model within DC (K Street) benefits the upper chamber the most.
Within this dynamic, Mitch McConnell is the mirror image of Harry Reid. Mitch has been grooming his replacement for a long time; that replacement is John Thune. Senator Thune is in a position that demands stealth. Ideologically, think of John Thune as the mirror image of Gavin Newsom. They are not opposites, they are mirrored – a big difference.
The system of affluence and influence has been created to self-sustain regardless of party affiliation. The Senate is one club with one ideological perspective. Within that club rule #1 dominates: none of the members will ever expose another member. So, when there is corrupt activity within the Senate, no one from within the institution will expose another. This is the code of Omerta within the upper chamber. This is the way of the “my good friend” Senate and how it operates.
Current Senate 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.
In August of 2020, before the presidential election, Senate Whip John Thune rebuked the mail-in ballot concerns expressed by President Trump. Thune did this because ultimately the objectives of the upper chamber were more favorably aligned if President Trump was removed.
WASHINGTON DC – […] Asked if he agreed with the president’s repeated charges that mailed-in balloting will lead to a “rigged election” and “massive voter fraud,” the Senate majority whip told reporters, “I don’t.”
“Mailed-in voting has been used in a lot of places for a long time and, honestly, we’ve got a lot of folks that, as you know, they’re investing heavily in trying … to win that war. It’s always a war too for mail-in ballots. Both sides compete, and it’s always an area where I think our side, at least in my experience, has done pretty well,” Thune answered, adding: “I think we want to assure people it’s going to work, it’s secure and if they vote that way it’s going to count.” (read more)
(L-R) Barrasso, Blunt, McConnell, Thune and Ernst.
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 mirror images of each other.
Both clubs are attached to the body of big corrupt corporatist government.
Watch the trade front. Watch international trade, economics, banking and multinational corporation influence. That’s the ‘trillions are at stake,’ and that’s where the opposition to everything MAGA comes from.
[ Reminder – June, 2015 ]
This is an economic theory worth having on your radar. I’ve been watching this argument being made for while by Tom Luongo and some data points are aligning to it
Luongo is great. Caught him with James Delingpole and Gonzalo Lira a while back.
Luongo is worth listening to…not many of his ilk do I care for their opinions…Luongo I do (sorry grammar-notsees…long day and I’m tired)
Here is another Luongo talk that explains the big picture https://rumble.com/v2e23h4-mel-k-and-tom-luongo-is-the-reset-of-the-great-reset-here-3-20-23.html
Feel the same way…..thx.
Since THEy won’t out each other, WE WILL HAVE TO OUT ALL OF THEM, Dem or GOP for the corrupt bastards they are, stealing out money, our kids’ & grandkids’ money and futures.
Yes. Every time they set another futile trap for President Trump more and more out themselves.
I posted on Truth earlier what a GODSEND air was for MAGA that Desantis has been exposed – just think if they can’t stop PDJT they must at least have complete control from his successor.
Just like they had Mike Pence In their pocket and as a backup to deconstruct MAGA policies if needed after PDJT
Punt on Faux News,…. NEWSMAX is back on cable TV today,… Rob Schmitt and Greg Kelly will be much more to your liking, IMHO.
Just a note because I had never seen it till the other evening; Newsmax is noted communicating w/John Podesta in Wiki Leaks. The info was benign, but (Christopher Ruddy) was falling over himself to be of use/help.
Just be mindful, seems every bit of drama turns out to be orchestrated to further earn our trust/affection similar to DeSantis being allowed to treat Floridian’s like civilized human beings during Covid to appear as the only sane politician.
All the worlds a (psyop) and we are the few who are awake apparently.
Christopher Ruddy was never President Trump’s ally. Newsmax was removed from my interest when the writers threw smack at Trump every time I went to that site. I can read that at CNN if I wanted stupid opinions and pearl clutching.

Renee welcome pull up a branch and make your self at home . you will fined TRUTH and WISDOM hear its what brings us back every day be well
R.D.
Welcome Renee…glad to have you join the party. I was like you up until a year ago. Found Treehouse during my RonPaul days and then about a year ago I finally started posting. I love my Treehouse fam!
Mark Levin’s ‘The Pallbearers’ is very appropriate.
I remember the Thune/Daschle Conflict and DIM Ballot Counting CHEATING SCANDAL when Thune first got into a Congressional seat.
I was so celebrating Daschle’s defeat after his dirty tricks the election just before, against THUNE.
First thing – FIRST THING Thune did after being sworn in was PURE RINO, and held up IMPORTANT Conservative Legislation demanding that FIRST some LIBERAL project be ok’ed , and Congress did it. Some damned ruinous piece of Pure Sin.
Thune is one Evil Dude and ALWAYS WAS. But boy he shined like a pretty toy when he was originally campaigning.
When he won against Daschle, everyone was celebrating getting rid of EVIL DASCHLE. But All we did was exchange an Evil Dim for a very evil SKANKY RINO DIABLO!
Totally agree. Thune had me bamboozled, too. Hell, I even sent a donation to his campaign and I don’t live anywhere near South Dakota!
Me too. 🤦🏼♀️ At the time I thought he was key to winning the Senate. Little did I know we were actually losing it.
Anyone presented to you by the system is part of the system. Trump is not part of the system.
👏👏👏 I applaud you UncleGrumpy
Now it all makes perfect sense. I’ve thought since a I actually stated paying attention how the snakes in DC seem more alike than opposite. This is why I come here for my clarity.
Perhaps it is time to expose John thune on a national scale
Just like rds was exposed
There are more of us than there are of them let’s start outing them one by one
There are many who wish ill on DJT, Republicans too.
Question for treepers is WHO continues MAGA after Trump and when? It’s a serious, needed, answer.
If elected, Trump is a lame duck POTUS (one term), with little Congressional support and a history of his advisors being attacked legally and financially. Not exactly a means to developing a team/support he will need.
Kari Lake
I believe that PDJT can run in 2028, if he wins in 2024.
2 consecutive terms, not 2 terms period.
Michael Flynn
Good choice – maybe with Joe Kent as V.P.
Not Joe Kent…sorry.
CORRECTION: Patty Murray is President Pro Tempore of the Senate. Grassley is President Pro Tempore Emeritus, since he is in the minority party.
In reality, the Democrats and the Republicans have become the Pharisees and the Sadducees of modern times. In Jesus time, they were the left and right of the same political scheme. They differed in their emphasis on interpretation. One learned more to a liberal view while the other was midway conservative, but they were still the same political structure within the Sanhedrin. Jesus was a clear thinker who call them both out. When he went through the temple with a whip, he did not segregate them. He condemned them all as mirror reflections of what was wrong with the Jewish nation at the time.
It has always been my understanding that Thune could not keep his pants zippered in DC AKA Ted Kennedy and only because he was from S Dakota and literally unknown was it kept under wraps for so long, but he is a snake, just like Iowa Sen Joanie Ernest, prior to her coronation as senator, she talked a big conservative game but as soon as she got to DC Mitch and crew converted her to their dark side and she doesn’t even resemble at all who the citizens of Iowa sent to DC. Nothing more than a Mitch Parrot, just like Thune, Barrasso and Blount. That 10% off of every single spending bill divvied up between congress and senate adds up after you have been there after 1 term and is what funds their offshore retirement accts and their non profit “named for charities” open to when anyone Chamber of Congress lobbiest want their pet projects introduced and passed, bonus money if they sign up for supporting/signing on it before passage. Every dollar sent overseas as foreign aide money a portion ends up back in their accts. Is sickening how they have developed becoming millionaires after very short periods of time, and this doesn’t even include their insider trading, that’s just another set of books they have for income, equally so if their charitable institutes invests it’s funds (non taxable) just grows and grows. The Russian and Ukrainian olligarths have nothing on the DC cabal of elected thieves.
Yes indeed. Iowans need to rid themselves of the Errns swamp rat.
That is why they will spend million$ of OPM (other people’s money) to get a job that pays $200,000/year. It will make you a millionaire.
And I was soooo Thrilled……
When Thune beat down then majority leader Tom Daschle 🫤
The Trojan Horse of Ron Deception…
https://gab.com/RocketReader/posts/110074751167250916
Thune beat Tom Daschle, the incumbent, in 2004.
Thune ran as a Tea Party candidate but it didn’t take him long to abandon those ideals and everyone who supported him.
Thune didn’t even glance in the rear-view mirror – the power and money are that addictive, I suppose.
DeSantis is more closely aligned with the Rick Scott wing, not the McConnell wing. Those are the two factions that are fighting behind the scenes.
No. DeSantis is McConnell’s.
Unless you heard him giving his support to his senator’s challenge for the leadership? All I heard was crickets.
The above picture of the RINO Uniparty must have bee shot very tight. As always, I know, along with McCuckell, Thune, “Hog Balls” Ernest, Blunt (now gone) and Brasshole there has to be WV’s very own RINO Senator Sellyouout Moore Capito had to be lurking nearby. Could be she was just bent over at the time the pic was taken shining “The Ky Gobbler’s” …er……shoes.
Its a big club..and you aint in it – George Carlin
GOOD MeWeKalvin! I don’t want to be in it…the Treehouse is where the Cool Kids hang out…after this life, Heaven Is My Home!
Just wondering if anyone has looked into desantis’s wife’s background.
Curious if there is ” anything ” there.
I am going to dig around…..
You’re nuts. Just because both McConnell and DeSantis are opposed to Trump, does not mean they are “aligned”. The enemy of my enemy is not always my friend. Trump does have an objectionable amount of baggage, and many will never forgive him for panicking in the pandemic and turning the reins of government over to the Faucian bureaucracy. That said, his patriotism alone qualifies him as vastly superior to McConnell. Measuring against DeSantis is a whole different thing. DeSantis will be the Republican standard bearer soon – if not in ’24 then certainly in ’28. Thune will never be.
He’s the standard bearer as much as Mitt Romney was / is.
you have your facts wrong
President Trump panicking in the face of the pandemic then turning things over to the Faucian bureaucracy == a total rewrite of what actually happened and an erasure of Trumps enormous courage and unshakeable strength and grace despite unhinged persecution.
The WORLD is not locked downed right now and the covid and vaccine truthers are able to speak out, sue and successfully expose and resist the NWO schemers BECAUSE of President Trump. Period.
I was privileged to be able to watch everything Trump said and did plus do research 20/7/365 unlike many others who had obligations that prevented such intense focus.
Plus I keep research journals.
Please be aware that we are in a very real war that, for now, is primarily a psywar. That means that instead of bombing buildings and troops, each of our hearts and minds are under 24/7, coordinated and professional psyop attack.
These attacks seek to traumatize us, disconnect us from reality, erase true memories and substitute false ones.
Psywar savvy, spiritual discernment and following the bibles instructions around putting on and maintaining the Whole Armor of God are key to surviving these attacks and then learning to thrive.
God bless President Trump, all Brave and Light HearTs and God bless America.
I love the research journals! I have cheap spiral notebooks full of stuff. When the ronacoaster ride started Adam Townsend said he was going to start a log and I believe he did. He’s on Twitter and there’s some older stuff on YouTube about what he called Dark City-the fastest roll up of power. I believe in keeping notes, printing stuff off the internet, anything to help me keep track of the truth.
When it comes to the ‘Rona coaster, I saw the deception unfold right before my eyes during the very *first* CDC news conference in March 2020. While FauXI and his minions somberly explained the need to “flatten the curve of DEATHS,” a completely different banner ran on the FAUX news TV screen underneath them.
That banner said flatten the CASES, not the deaths. Wait, WUT? BIG difference there! THIS is the mumbo jumbo that shoved us down their rabbit hole.
In this way, the ENEmedia mockingbirds immediately tallied daily CASE NUMBERS. But there were no more DEATHS than had occurred in a normal flu season!
See the sleight of hand?
People were simply bamboozled. I saw it right from the start, in real time, the substitution of “CASES” instead of deaths.
That’s NOT what FauXI stated, nor what President Trump signed up for. We signed up for two weeks to flatten DEATHS, which would have been very easy had the 2% high risk patients accessed early treatments!!
The “cases” themselves were counted using an emergency, EUA test, purposely run in cycles to pick up any old cold, so the test does not accurately predict infections absent the actual symptoms. Notice how the “experts” then blathered about “asymptomatic CASES” to bolster the case count?
FAKE TEST.
The psy-ops were simply unbelievable!
When President Trump mentioned HCQ IN MARCH the ENEmedia destroyed him for it. So doctors were not permitted to actually TREAT sick patients?? I knew right then that most of these patients would be led to the slaughter.
I found the frontline doctors to treat Covid, as mainstream doctors were simply AWOL. It took me FIVE MONTHS to persuade a surgeon to remove my breast tumors!
And this silly mask requirement STILL prevents me from taking a stress test without risking an asthma attack!
The problem here is that most of us listen intently to the ENEmedia, having been trained to do so since birth. However, in THESE times, there is NO more room for such an error.
DeSantis will be the standard bearer of the neocon, grifting establishment party. He is going down, hopefully never to rise again. He has blown it on the international stage with his recent war-mongering comments. The billionaires are not supporting him economically, politically, and culturally to help ordinary Americans and ordinary Americans are paying attention. We have had our eyes opened by the only president to stand for us and we will not be content with Wall Street ad campaigns.
B.S.
Trolls commonly use a Name and not a handle that has special meaning like the rest of us do. If it is a first and last name it is like two first names…Tom Wayne or Tom Christopher or Tom Mitchell…or it’s a common name like Tom Smith or Tom Anderson or Tom Johnson. Standard bearer…he’s not even going to run anymore he’s so far down in the polls.
Complete hogwash!
Watch DeSantis melt. Its already started and the money dries up as the polls go down.
I wish I could down vote your comment.
Have you not been paying attention at all?
Who are DeSantis’ donors?
Are they MAGA?
Go away.

Seriously, I’ll play the part of Steven Crowder here. The premise is: “The Democrats will steal the 2024 Presidential Election”. Change my Mind.
Please, someone change my mind.
Overcome 85 million votes? They were stretched thin the last time around, and folks are onto the game… we’ll see. Six to eight million freshly-minted illegal voters don’t hurt, though, that’s for sure…
Paging Dutchman…paging Dutchman…
If Trump’s Vice President is to be someone from Florida, then Matt Gaetz is the obvious choice. After all, he was the only House Republican willing to travel all the way to Wyoming to rally local support to kick Liz Cheney out of Congress!
“The blue team and red team are mirror images of themselves. They are not opposites, they are mirrored – a big difference.”
The better way of looking at this issue is to see the opposing parties as obverse and inverse of the same coin.
Both sides view government as needing to grow bigger in order to protect their phony baloney jobs. The light given to We The People by Our Constitution grows dimmer by the day. So, flip a coin, our ability to control this uncontrollable spending is almost extinguished.
True. I forget who came up with the penny plan to reduce the budget by reducing by a penny every year for every dollar appropriated until the budget deficit is solved. ( I know what your thinking and I’m not a Hannity fan). However, I think it is actually a decent plan and also why it will never happen. But such a law would assure a balanced budget and make congress prioritize as opposed to whoring out to the special interest. There is a lot of government that could be cut with hardly a notice and it gets worse every year. Of course this would require congress getting back to a regular budget which has not happened in more than a decade. We need a good ole tax revolt to yank the reins on this government.
“It’s a big club, but you ain’t in it.” – Carlin
Flipping through the radio and paused to listen to Ben Shapiro rant about how awful Trump is to criticize desantis… desantis better… desantis make Florida great…bla bla bla
Ben is panicked by the polling and sounds like toddler throwing a tantrum
President Trump choosing DeSantis as Vice President would be the same grave mistake Ronald Reagan made when he chose CIA Director George H. W. Bush as his Vice President. The moment Reagan left office, George H. W. Bush reversed most of Reagan’s policies and fired the majority of Reagan’s appointees and the result ended up being Bill Clinton defeating George H. W. Bush. 4 years later. If Ronald Reagan could see the future back then, he definitely would have chosen someone else as his Vice President.
Well, every conservative I knew then wanted Jack Kemp and thought it was going to be a Reagan-Kemp ticket. Everyone, and I mean everyone, was shocked it was Reagan-Bush. A friend of mine was a delegate to the convention and she came home sick to point of almost vomiting when she told me how it went down. There was vote fraud then…and there.
Party means zilch.
Trump bulldozed through that b.s.
He aligned with the only party in the two-party system that held a smidge of hope that they actually represented regular folks.
The Single Party is anti Americans. We are obsolete now that they no longer require our votes.
Americans by the millions are unwilling to focus on the shiny objects as instructed. It really is Trump — or no one at this juncture. No one else has our backs.
I think Cocaine Mitch is quite frankly the ringleader for the Republican representation of the deep state….He’s the goto man when it comes to making sure Trump doesn’t get elected again. He hated the fact Trump was elected first time around and he was all against Trump declaring 2022 a fraud….In my opinion, he’s the patriots worst enemy, because he shields himself as a Republican…He is infact as big a grifter and American sellout as Piglosi, Biden and all the other weasels in the Democrat party.
He was against Trump calling DC a swamp. Lol, Trump obviously didn’t listen.
Trump curse. Meatball is toast. Forever.

Listened to Pete Santilli today. He was saying how DeSantis is aligned with the British monarchy and Knights of Malta. DeSantis is a back stabber to Trump. I’d vote for RFK Jr. -people are after him too- before I vote for DeSanctimonious. Wow lots vowels.
DESANTIS IS ON BOLLING TONIGHT HE REQUSTED HIM AND NO ONE ELSE WONDER WHY
Asked if he agreed with the president’s repeated charges that mailed-in balloting will lead to a “rigged election” and “massive voter fraud,” the Senate majority whip told reporters, “I don’t. Mailed-in voting has been used in a lot of places for a long time and, honestly,…” Thune answered, adding: “I think we want to assure people it’s going to work, it’s secure and if they vote that way it’s going to count.”
Mr. Thune, sources please? Where have mailed in ballots been used for a long time and honestly?
Otherwise you’re just an empty talking head like your reflection, Gavin Newsom, as Sundance posited.
Well, If the Treehouse had a the good, the bad and the ugly list, pretty sure Mr. Thune would be on the ugly list. I’ve always thought he actually looks the part of a shyster.
Nodding emoji
I won’t vote for DeSantis if I believe for one moment he is aligned with Thune, McConnell, Romney, Bush, McCain (whose evil lives on), Kochs, Ryan, Kochs, Pence or the Chamber.
Sorry!
I would rather lose than support anyone from that group.
I am their reverse image because they would rather lose than support my candidate Trump.
Tragically, if RDS wins or Trump loses, the Uniparty wins either way. Keep praying my friends…keep praying…
Everyday I wake up knowing an internal battle will rage within me all day…who to hate more? One hour it’s the Democrats…one hour it’s the Republicans. I know, I know…Department of Redundancy Department.

Seriously? Fat shaming?
Surely you have more arguments against DeSantis and Cavuto than having to resort to this?
Fair enough. DeSanctus is pretty doughy though, in many respects.
Easy to spot the worthless, antiAmerican, RINO.
They never mention Illegals, trafficking, fentanyl, USA manufacturing, two tier system of justice and all the excess deaths & injuries.
I’ve never seen a group more anti-middle America and Americans.

it appears that mother nature is taking out the Turtle
and saving someone else from the task.
It’s a wonder Thune isn’t wearing a neck brace from when the turtle fell down………..
Oh jeez… I think you mean Thune was probably giving McTurtle a nice foot massage… right? RIGHT?!?
Wrecked him with cranium.
I don’t listen to or follow RDS much but I’ve yet to hear anyone glowingly refer to his time in Congress beginning in 2014. He had to have quickly learned how the corrupt system worked because it hasn’t changed, at least for the better. Consequently, he’s known from the beginning of his Presidential bid that he was going to bed with McConnell, Thune, Ryan, the US Chamber of Commerce, the Koch Brothers, etc and the corrupt system. None of this is a surprise to him. Yet he willingly and eagerly (since he has no qualms against leaving Florida in a lurch) jumped at the corrupt Rico qualified Uniparty. He is no political neophyte. If Trump was in jail I’d vote for him over all else.
The more socialist a country becomes, the more political it becomes.
I look at it this way: government is the mafia (even though it masquerades as a human-rights organization — and the federal government of these united States is the most organized and successful mafia organization in history.)
The two major parties of the mafia are just separate crime families jockeying for position in the organization’s totum pole. They may fight and bicker (to keep up appearances) but what they really care about is the mafia’s power and reach. So long as that power is ever expanding, they don’t really care who’s running the organization and who’s 2nd in command.
Now, challenge that power, as they at least perceive Trump as doing, and the entire weight of both crime families comes down on that challenge – no matter what “family” or party he belongs to. State power must be maintained no matter what.
I wish people would turn it ALL off. Let the Media Mafia talk to themselves. I dream of one day they realize that they have zero audience. Zero audience for their ads brought to you by Pfizer and Soros.
