A person who was a teenager when Obamacare was debated and passed is now around 30 years old. Put another way, if you were 15 years old when We The People defeated Massachusetts Attorney General Martha Coakley with Scott Brown and took the Kennedy senate seat, you are about to turn 30. Think about the context of modern Republican politics and time.
This context reminds us that a large portion of the generally distracted population has no foundational understanding of modern Republican politics.
This context is also the baseline behind ‘battered conservative syndrome‘.
You will never, not ever, see a professional Republican politician attack a Democrat with the same level of vitriol, hatred, bitterness and anger as they do toward their own base voter.
The Democrat party fears their base; the Republican party despises their base. The truth of this very visible reality will never change. Professional Republican politicians are not ideologues to principle or policy; they are interested in one thing, money. That’s it.
If you peel the core of any issue involving conflict with the Republican Party, you will find money at the center of it. Current Democrat politicians focus on advancing an ideological agenda; they swing for the fences in an effort to maximize control and power. Current Republican politicians are focused, to the detriment of all other facets, on their personal wealth.
When you introduce a newly elected ‘conservative‘ to the DC world of republicanism, it is like sending a new guy/gal into the room to talk policy, only to be met with every face around the table staring back quizzically and dismissively while replying, “We don’t do that here – we are talking about money.”
Once you reset the Schoolhouse Rocks mindset and accept this is the truth of the thing, then everything else that puzzled you about Republican politics reconciles.
Ballot harvesting doesn’t generate money, so why do it? We can make just as much money in the minority railing against ‘them’, so why be focused on a majority? Donald Trump is threatening the financial position of our benefactors, so we hate him. These are the simple truths of modern Republicans.
This is also the context to look at the institutions of professional Republican politics (RNC, RGA, NRSCC, etc) as well as the politicians who operate inside the business of professional republicanism. Defending the trough is the goal – nothing is more important. Removing any threat to the billionaires and multinationals who feed the trough, is a priority. If defending the money means eliminating a pesky conservative thinker, so be it – destroy them. That’s where the bitterness and anger come from.
If we do not accept this reality, we are doomed to repeat the cycle of abuse.
We can never make a professional Republican a perfect sandwich that will stop him/her from abusing us. Quit trying.
With this in mind, and understanding the nature of our corrupt two-party system controlled by two private corporations, the DNC and RNC, Donald Trump selected the RNC as the best available option to bring a new set of economic priorities back to the forefront.
Making America Great Again is a threat to modern republicanism, because MAGA has a core America-First economic agenda that runs counter to the priorities of the Republican party. {Go Deep}
Every professional Republican politician who enters the 2024 race for the Republican nomination is working toward this goal. None of them are working on any other goal. The removal of MAGA from mechanics of the Republican Party is their mission priority. There is no other higher priority, including election outcomes.
Monmouth has a new poll released yesterday [article here – data pdf here] that was taken just before and during the time Ron DeSantis launched his candidacy.
When you look at the results, you can see why the people managing the Florida governor pulled the trigger a little earlier than anticipated.
DeSantis was scheduled in a very clear and strategic roadmap to launch as the ‘last’ candidate in the 2024 race. However, despite his national politicking and “book tour”, his support was dropping every week. They couldn’t wait any longer out of fear the principal would lose all support and the 2024 effort would be useless before they even got out of the gate.
The background managers pushed DeSantis into the race, and now we will see the last set of professional Republicans follow. Each candidate will have a role and responsibility on behalf of the party.
Chris Christie and Nikki Haley will team up to play the lead role in the party attack against Donald Trump.
Notice how we are not seeing any post-DeSantis announcement polling? Ron DeSantis launched on May 23rd and May 24th. Sometimes it is the absence of the thing that tells you a lot about the substance of the thing.
[Monmouth Article Here]
Why would a candidate at 1%, 2%, 3% etc., stay or even launch into the race? Stop pretending. They do not have any chance of winning and they are not in the race to win. They are in the race to defend the interests of the professional Republican apparatus.
They are in the race to destroy MAGA and the American First agenda.
Yet pundits and battered conservatives demand the non-pretending people stop talking about the truth of it and maintain their illusion.
It is all nonsense.
Battered Conservative No More!
That third party talk after 2020…..somehow got reduced to no action. What a mystery!
I switched to NPA/independent–That was my action.
At least I’m not association with those filty frauds.
My wife and I did that too, after the 2020 election fraud. I then changed my user name on this website. Free at last, thank God almighty, free at last!
That means you won’t be able to vote in a primary unless your state has open primaries.
It’s still not too late to switch to RINO affiliation before the primaries. That is what I intend to do unless PDJT is already a lock for the nomination. Then I will register as a commie dem and vote for RFK Jr and do a low level “Operation Chaos” on the commie dem party.
Heh, that’s my plan too. I can’t wait til RFKJr and Biden “debate”. 😂 It will be highly entertaining to see what the Dims do about that.
Or you could be an open primary State and get threats from your REPUBLICAN governor that don’t you dare pull a “Republican primary ticket without being a declared Republican.”
We don’t declare parties in our State.
Sundance’s article about the Republican Governors ASSociation and their wanting to serve us Meatballs came flooding into my head when our REPUBLICAN governor, with his staff, crown, and robe in hand, dictated it to his plebes.
On a side note, I have noticed his eyes getting beadier with each passing day…creepy
Open primaries are the single reason Lindsey Graham is the perennial GOP candidate for the u.S. Senate.
I’m still a registered Democrat. To make sure I vote against the front runner. Only makes sense in a deep blue state. Maryland where the voting block of teachers, state and federal workers makes sure an R doesn’t win. We had 1 conservative governor, Ehrlich, who lost reelection witha 60% approval rating.
Same here, but after I sold my soul and voted for McStain who disgusted me with his “ My friends, and you are my friends…”. He wouldn’t have known a friend, if it bit him on his ass. (1st go round with Obama) and then with Romney (who failed to prosecute his case against Obama after winning the first debate). It was at that point, I knew something was very wrong: had the last Boy Scout sold his soul, or was it someone else in the Republicrat party that told him to stand down and he’s get a Senatorial Seat in Utah? Yeah, I’m asking….)
A close acquaintance of mine told me “we vote for the lesser of two evils.” My response is “Yeah. How’s that been working for us…?”
That means you won’t be able to vote in a primary unless your state has open primaries.
….and we all know how incredibly important it is to vote in the upcoming primary…..
Do I detect a small upper bitter note of sarcasm in your comment/reply?
In my state, independents can vote either Republican or Democrat, but they can only choose one.
Here in, Ohio, we have had declare at the table in the primaries since I voted for Barry Goldwater. But, declare you must. No independent may vote, nor libertarians, unless there are more than one libertarian vying for a nomination.
Today, Ohio has plans to introduce two pieces of legislation in order to close the primary process, to registered R’s D’s only. One proposal is to require declaring via registration Thirty (30) days prior to the primary; or by December 31, of the year preceding the primary.
The goal is to disallow anyone changing party affiliation just prior to receiving a ballot. Seems to be a good idea.
The biggest problem in OH, is too many important issues are always scheduled in ‘special’ elections, generally held during May, and/or August. This usually results in uninformed citizens sitting poolside or vacationing while the leftist cabal is well oiled, organized and slobbering to vote for something devastating and dangerous.
Of course, the leaders of the red-state RNC don’t spend money to promote the special election; they leave that to the sisters of the poor and the barely funded non-profits to do the heavy lifting. They simply stand by and wait for the next fundraiser to overturn the most recent constitutional amendment referendum.
I did that around 2003 when that fat pig Edward Kennedy screeched out Quagmire and the republicans put their tail between their leg and pissed on themselves. They had the chest thumping guts to send our brave warriors into battle but betrayed them on the home front.
Same here. Being affiliated with any of those filthy, establishment corrupt “corporations” known as parties makes me sick.
These Parties are an illusion of choice and a generational way to control voters. Thus the statements I hear often from voters. Example: “My parents were Democrats, I am a Democrat and I will die a Democrat. ” It doesn’t matter what the Party stands for anymore or how insanely incompetent the representatives are, they just keep voting Party instead of the quality of the candidate or issues.
In WV the designation is Unaffiliated. In the primary election unless I specifically ask for a “recognized” party ballot, I will be given a ballot that only contains non-partisan offices.
WV recognizes four Parties on the voting ballot and voter registration. They are Republican, Democrat, Libertarian and Mountain parties along with the Unaffiliated designation.
However, in the primary election, I can specifically ask for and receive any one of the recognized Parties and vote that ballot. WV also allows write in candidates on the ballot.
Therefore, I came to the conclusion there is no longer a need to belong to a party as they all corrupt and do not represent the people that are registered and vote for the party. The Uniparty represents themselves with the power and grift that comes with it.
I have remained a Republican in order to vote in the Republican primary. In my state, only those registered in a party may participate in its primary–which, I think, is as it should be.
This is very good tactic.
I switched to Independent 4 years ago. I had no idea the dimwit dems were gonna rig the elections, win, and let 5 million theiving, scrounging, filthy illegals into our country to take the place over (cartels and child sex slavers) and get OUR benefits. It was a sad day when ol’ joe was placed/cheated into office. Please don’t tell me there’s no difference between dems and repubs. We all lived in Donald Trump’s America where things were going along just fine. HE GOT HIMSELF INTO OFFICE WITH HARD WORK AND HIS OWN PERSONAL WEALTH. We all knew he wasn’t a seasoned politician which is what made him popular. He’s still very well liked by many and I would like to see him in office once again. I think he could actually turn things around for us here in America, don’t you?
You can’t vote in many primaries if you are not a party member. I stay R so I can vote Trump in the primaries.
I’ve truly come to believe that all political parties should be rendered Un Constitutional- something the Founders screwed up on. Oh you can form and join a political party softball league, but they cannot endorse,fund, provide favors, campaign or field a candidate. There goes the consultant class and good riddance. There goes the donor/ lobbyist class and F them.
The “big name” consultants are often the same people who lose one election after another, leap frogging from one party to another as they do this. But candidates are so happy to snag someone who has been a consultant a long time the barely look at the consultant’s record.
That is certainly the case in Nebraska. Candidates keep hiring “consultant” firms that don’t win elections. They do, however, put money in the correct pockets. It’s a joke, but I find it hard to laugh.
Look at Mary Matlin and James Carville milking both sides of the Uniparty pig at the same time.
They must have raked up in Vegas..or did they just cancel out each other’s bets. 🤣
They’re stupid people, consultants that is.
My gut consultant has never steered me wrong…for the most part 🤣
The Founders did not screw up, in fact, they warned specifically against the use of political parties.
People joined themselves together for their chosen cause, just as in the 19th century the Republican Party was formed new for the purpose of pushing abolition.
The more you think about it the more sense it makes that parties would develop for strength, just as unions did. And just as now the Uniparty has developed against us, their unhappy, unrepresented and unwitting constituents.
Want better primary choices?
Here’s what Steve Bannon and President Trump asked everyone to do:
Https:/theprecinctstrategy.com.
Please. Read it. Share it. Do it.
Its an infiltration operation so lay low until the lay of the land is understood.
Freedom of association is an important right, and I have no particular desire to eliminate it. That said, the founders had a view of party politics based on the British experience, and they certainly had a point.
Mike, it would be so much fun to watch the windbags huff and puff, pack up and get out of town. There’d also be a fire sale on some pretty choice real estate.
It’s not off of the table. The decision of create the Republican party was born of decades of abuse and lack of progress.
In December of 2020, after I got over the initial shock and sorrow of the 2020 election Fraud and had moved onto totally pissed off stage, I too wanted Trump to start a new party, drop the Republican Party like it was a sack of rotten potatoes, and I would be one of the first to sign up for the new party.
I’m not a craftsman, not my forte, but have always marveled at how a craftsman could take something old, that was initially solidly made, but was scraped and bruised, had chunks missing out of it, and they restore it to its original glory. They didn’t go buy a pressed board replacement.
The solidly-made structure of the Grand Old Party is there; though, it has termites right now and a couple of borer bumblebees that are threatening the base of it.
I don’t think the GOP is totally captured by the money changers YET.
BINGO.
The GOP is made up of local precincts. Membership is open to ALL registered Republicans who live in that precinct.
Even though both Bannon and President Trump have asked MAGA voters to get involved, over half of these precincts can’t find someone willing to volunteer a few hours a month to be the precinct leader.
Yet I still encounter people who sincerely believe that President Trump should built a brand new national party from scratch.

I wish Pat were a younger man.
I like Pat but he had his chance. After Ross Perot’s second attempt Pat took over as the heir apparent as the nominee for the United We Stand party. That was Perot’s brain child.
The money was behind him. I heard him speak and he was very convincing but apparently something scared him off and he pulled himself out just when it appeared that he might have the level of support that Perot had.
I still like Pat but I’m disappointed that he lacked the stomach in the end, not that I blame him.
Tonester, I was there with Pat. You have no idea what we were facing back then. I was a simple volunteer…yes, a very active and visible one…and I got anonymous threats against me and my family.
Today, I might take it as a badge of honor but 20 or so years ago it was all new that campaign volunteers and staffers would be physically threatened.
Goldwater, Reagan, Buchanan, Perot, and Ron Paul were all necessary for us to get to President Donald J. Trump.
I remember when Perot ran and he started talking about being spied on, his phone being tapped. Everyone thought he was a paranoid nut. Cost him some momentum.of course now we know it was most certainly true.
Yes, and I think GHW Bush did a lot worse things than just spying on Ross Perot and tapping his phones.
You got that right!
Fwiw Trump political involvement started with Goldwater. He then backed Reagan who was despised by the same Country Club and Church biddy Republicans who despise him.
Trump Perot and Nader were the public faces and voices of the Anti NAFTA campaign; a treaty being pushed by both parties.
He also supported the Tea Party and Sarah Palin when that was a very unpopular thing to do.
Bottom line, Trumps always been a common sense American who has always opposed communist, globalists, neocons and theocons. Plus he’s always disdained snobs.
Trump is Amazing, and I will back him proudly to any detractor.
After Pat’s “Cultural War” speech at the RNC in 1992 (how prophetic) the GOPe had it in for him. The Council On Foreign Relations hated him who were/are the groomers of China, as did China, thus the enormous dump of illegal campaign contributions to the CFR golden boy Clinton, to hijack the crucial GOP Primaries of 1996, and to make sure China Clinton got in over a very pathetic run to lose Bob Dole. Election fraud in 1996. A very crucial election as Buchanan was going to do what PDJT was trying to do, reverse the treason against America, which was/is building up China at our expense.
Pat Buchanan on Free Trade
https://www.ontheissues.org/Celeb/Pat_Buchanan_Free_Trade.htm
Pat, Perot, Goldwater this schitzophrenia of the Republican party goes back to its FOUNDING.
What we call RINOS, we previously called “Country club” or “Blue blood” Republicans, and my Dad (one of ‘Barrys boys’) called “Rockerfeller Republicans”.
They are the direct (‘political’ or ‘ideological’, if not literal) descendents of the WHIGS, a party of blue bloods that really had no ideological foundation for a platform, they ran AGAINST the Dems, rather than “for” much of anything.
When they saw the YUGE base support of the “New” Republicans, they said “Hey, thats impressive! WE can USE that!”
And so, the “deal” was struck; the WHIGS would contribute a National and State party organisation, FUNDING and direction, and the Republicans would contribute a large motivated BASE.
For at least my lifetime, this split has been readily apperent (Go back to GOLDWATER) and the abuse has been as well.
And, it has continued BECAUSE the RNC doesn’t CARE if a Democrat ‘wins’ a particular race (as pointed out they make $ when they “lose”) whereas the BASE do care.
Hence, the basis for the “vote for the RINO, cause the D is worse!”
So long as WE care, and THEY don’t, we are trapped in this cycle of abuse.
Since we are NOT going to get them to care, our only way out is to stop caring; i.e. vote MAGA ONLY.
Beyond that, or in conjunction with that is the process of finally, irrevocably “divorcing” the Republican party base, from the RNC and State party WHIGS, which means developing our own structure to replace it.
I am confident that the divorce is inevitable, the WHIGS will not allow PDJT to be the R nominee, and whatever machinations they use to attempt to justify it, be it using indictments as an excuse, primary election shenanigans or a Convention pusch, WE will not accept.
Hence, in terms of political process, we DO need to focus on political organising, party building etc. in order to prepare for the break.
Just as “Diplomacy is WAR, by other (non-kinetic) means, POLITICS is civil war, by other (non-kinetic) means.
Given the alternative, WE need to “leave it all on the field” in terms of trying every possible way to make the political system work for us, as an unemotional, objective accessment of the alternative demands we make every effort we can to avoid it, first.
IMHO,..
Rockafeller was a Satanic Pedophile, Anderson Cooper is his grandson, and it sounds like the WHIGS were the people our Founders fought against.
Mega-dittoes, TL.
I voted for him three times.
An “election” every four years, Colkitto, to determine which jackboot…left or right…we want on our throats.
Nice to see you here Bet! How true. PDJT broke the fake right vs left game here for many. Buchanan broke it for me in 1996. Regards my friend
So true Betsy. The only difference is the Republicans would say “pardon me,” and the Democrats would call you some overused explicative.
Did you notice you never see Betsy and the Dutchman together in the same place?
Hmm..?
Is that meant to be a funny?
Or are you serious?
Great Treepers, but nowhere near the same voice.
I always looked forward to your posts Raptors but this one leaves me stunned.
Complaining about what’s served for dinner versus becoming the person who cooks what’s served to those who wait and then complain?
President Trumps request for help issued to change what’s being offered
https://theprecinctstrategy.com.
If only he had won the election.
The Democrat party fears their base; the Republican party despises their base.
That is so profound and concise, I think I shall appropriate–with all due recognition.
Which brings us to the Trump vs DeSantis showdown … RATS only vote RAT … WeThePeople will vote MAGATrump … besides RINO family members – who will vote DeSantis ?
The democraps that are afraid of the communist agenda yet believe the jackass hype and fraudulent portrayal of MAGA and PDJT that’s who..
If Trump is elected in 2024, what do you expect him to do?
Will he restore family values, education, rebuild judicial system, rebuild military, reorganize government, etc…?
A single man cannot possibly do it, just slow down the degradation a little bit, maybe.
Got a better alternative?
We’re all ears.
That is exactly the question: Is Trump a viable
alternative?
Huh? A viable alternative to himself?
Please tell us who or what you have in mind that is a better ‘alternative.’
Again, we’re all ears!
Busted, but y’all are getting better!
The delegates of others.
Desantis is in the teens for support.
“There’s not a dime’s worth of difference between the Democrat and Republican parties,” ~ George Wallace
And Wallace said that over 50 years ago.
The only daylight between them is the velocity going over the cliff into a full blown oligarchy.
Mark Twain on Democrat Style Voting 1864-1865
“Where did all these Democrats come from? They grow thicker and thicker and act more and more outrageously at each successive election. Now yesterday they had the presumption to elect S. H. Dwinelle to the Judgeship of the Fifteenth District Court, and not content with this, they were depraved enough to elect four out of the six Justices of the Peace! Oh, ‘Enery Villiam, where is thy blush! Oh, Timothy Hooligan, where is thy shame! It’s out. Democrats haven’t got any.
The only man I ever knew who could counteract this passion on the part of Democrats for voting, was Robert Roach, carpenter of the steamer Aleck Scott, “plying to and from St. Louis to New Orleans and back,” as her advertisement sometimes read. The Democrats generally came up as deck passengers from New Orleans, and the yellow fever used to get them right and left – eight or nine a day for the first six or eight hundred miles; consequently Roach would have a lot on hand to “plant” every time the boat landed to wood – “plant” was Roach’s word. One day as Roach was superintending a burial the Captain came up and said:
“God bless my soul, Roach, what do you mean by shoving a corpse into a hole in the hill-side in this barbarous way, face down and its feet sticking out?”
“I always plant them Democrats in that manner, sir, because, damn their souls, if you plant ’em any other way they’ll dig out and vote the first time there’s an election – but look at that fellow, now – you put ’em in head first and face down and the more they dig the deeper they’ll go into the hill.”
In my opinion, if we do not get Roach to superintend our cemeteries, enough Democrats will dig out at the next election to carry their entire ticket.
– Mark Twain; Early Tales & Sketches, Vol. 2 1864-1865, (Univ. of California Press, 1981), pp. 313-14.]
I fear those who were ten years younger than the “fifteen”era, the younger have had almost all indoctrination prior to being able to vote…going back to the article a few days ago referencing the change from anti big gov to loving it….we in deep foo foo….
All comes back to the ability to ‘Print’ endless ‘Fiat’ money as the Federal Reserve does….That’s the bottom line….
Printing ‘Fiat’ money isn’t any different than printing ‘Fiat’ ballots. Both frauds are required to support the other
Over the past 20 years I have seen the Democrats self-destruct to the point of no return. They were knocked out and down for the count when out of nowhere it was the Republicans who came to the rescue them every single time.
Just last year when the Republican Wave was going to sweep the House and Senate Races with Republicans predicted to win 57 House Seats out of nowhere comes LINDSAY GRAHAM to announce that he was sponsoring a Republican Bill to outlaw ABORTION nationwide. Now, GRAHAM is a lawyer and sits on the Judiciary Committee. He knows (as does Mitch McConnell) that the Supreme Court had just ruled that ABORTION WAS A STATE ISSUE not under Federal jurisdiction so the Congress was not authorized to regulate abortion one way or the other. So, all over California the Democrats ran TV political ads that GRAHAM was going to take away a woman’s right to chose. The Republican Wave became a Republican Bust. Once again, the Republicans came to the rescue!
RATS are evil.
RINOS are their evil enablers.
Graham is also one of the worst warmongers who has no problem sending other people’s sons and daughters to die in useless conflicts. He must be a favorite of the MIC.
Fun fact: South Carolina has not one, but two homosexual senators!
Maybe, that’s why both South Carolina Senators seem to hate Orthodox Christian Russians so much?
Yep. Christianity condems homosexuality.
Nope. Not buying it. Even now the Repubs are trying to make abortion an election issue. It’s a lie because the Repubs are just as demonic as the Dems. There was no Red Wave because the Trump Voters saw through those phonies and either stayed home or just voted down ballot. As the editor over at Hanguns says: “you can’t pick up a turd by the clean end” and that’s just what the Republicans are and it’s why the Democrats will control both houses come January ’25. Just watch.
That’s why they suspended the debt ceiling until Jan 25 in this bill. They will be able to spend like drunken sailors until the Dems retake the House in Jan 25 and then the Dems will vote to terminate the debt ceiling. Hasta la vista good ole USofA.
What makes you think the dimwit dems will vote to “terminate the debt ceiling”?? They’ve created the debt ceiling in THIS forlorn “administration”. Remember, these are the people who shoved COMMALA harris down our throats. Have you seen the clips of all of her “boo-boo’s”? She has a brain smaller than a pea. Those clips are hilarious and yet not one bit funny. To me, they are just plain scary! Imagine her as president??? OMG….
Thanks Mike. I’ll never forget that line and can’t wait to use it!
You better hope not, pal.
Graham learned a “reverse” strategy, from “Maverick McStain”;
Pass the McStain/Fiengold campaign finance reform bill, written in such a way that it would be largely overturned in the Courts, which would actually have the net effect of LOOSENING campaign finance laws.
Graham, in a last ditch effort to get the Mueller investigation ploy to “work” (the purpose being to ‘trick’ PDJT into firing Mueller, so that that could be likened to Nixons firing, and used as an excuse for R’s in the senate to say they would vote to convict) introduced legislation to prevent PDJT from firing Mueller.
Then he very publically withdrew the legislation, allegedly when it was pointed out to him thevlegislation was Un Constitutional.
Which he knew; the whole point was to get it out into the psyche of the public that it would be Constitutional to fire Mueller.
Just as it was when Nixon did it. But, in terms if a PUBLIC PERCEPTION that it constituted “Obstruction of Justice” and for Impeachment, which is NOT a legal process, but a POLITICAL one, a defence that such a firing was “Constitutional” would not matter.
And yes, this blatant act by Graham is a similar “reverse” and one of many acts by the RINOS to manipulate the midterms, and the PERCEPTION of what the midterm results “meant”.
First, create this narrative of an expectation of a “red-wave”, and yes I fell for it.
Then, use RNC and GOPe direction of unlimited amounts of $, and control of State R parties, Dem cooperation in who they ran against candidates, in order to insure that all RINO Candidates who DID NOT run on election integrity or covid mandates or “culture issues” won, and won handily.
And, that the true MAGA Candidates that ran on those issues, lost.
This then sets up the false narrative that “MAGA Candidates (and by association PDJT) CAN NOT WIN.
That they turn off “moderate Dems, Indies and even R voters needed to win.”
ALL setting up their strategy to block PDJT in 2024.
Lindsay Graham doesn’t know what HE wants, so why does anyone believe a word he says when it comes to what WE want?? IMPHO, he’s a turncoat.
There was a red wave if you looked down ballot.
The Democrats and RINOS used voter fraud to steal the most prominent elections.
I thought that was obvious to everyone?
From N.C. Renegade the “-R”s supporting McCarthy-Biden sham and lies. I stated here several times during the hand wringing about installing the unit named Kevin McCarethy back into the squeakers chair… warning specifically about about Jordan, Greene, Massie, Stefanik and got the digital equivalent of blank stares.
Rep. Carlos Gimenez (R-FL, Miami-Dade), Rep. Nick Langworthy (R-NY), Rep. Anthony D’Esposito (R-NY), Rep. Chuck Edwards (R-NC), Rep. Mike Lawler (R-(NY), Rep. Thomas Massie (R-KY), Rep. Jim Jordan (R-OH), Rep. Warren Davidson (R-OH), Rep. Elise Stefanik (R-NY), Rep. Laurel Lee (R-FL), Rep. Ken Calvert (R-CA), Rep. David Valadao (R-CA), Rep. Greg Murphy (R-NC), Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA) are just some of the “-R”s outspoken in their support of the deal. This abomination will pass and McCarthy is damn happy to have the marxists help – notice how easy they’ll do it. So what does that also tell you?
You didn’t actually get blank stares, many of us had severe reservations about that whole “9 days to elect a Speaker” dramatic production.
Upon reflection, once the Speaker was installed, I recall reasoning out “Exactly HOW does the “motion to vacate” put Kevins nuts in a wringer, as we were assured? As presented, ALL it does it stop all House activity, until they get right back to where they were, with the threat of enough Dems “crossing over” to reinstall Kevin.
Another aspect of this, is like the whole “fillibuster rule” and “squishy” votes used in the Senate.
According to article at TGP, “37 Republicans are saying they will vote “NO”.
But, do they REALLY oppose the bill, or are they just positioning themselves to get “our” support, knowing there “principled stand” No votes will make NO difference?
Kabuki theater, its ALL about perception/deception.
(Rhetorically, of coarse) we should have hung or tarred and feathered ALL of them, and their staffs, when we had the chance.
No wonder they erected the security fence right after; because they feared this might occur to US.
Largely correct with the exception Frank Luntz’s boyfriend Kevie having nuts. There’s not a bigger eunuch in DC
I may be wrong, as Sunny D and a host of other Treepers on this site know a whole lot better than I do about the internal politics of the RNC, but from following the articles concerning the RNC here (stepped up lately), I see a political war/fragmentation/degradation of the RNC in the near future unlike what has ever occurred.
Any thoughts, anyone?
The Racketeer National Committee will self destruct and render the GOPe impotent(if possible) rather than let President Trump use their apparatus to serve the Citizens Of The US of A.
Agree 100%.
We have to murder the GOP, field dress it, and wear it as a skin suit.
And then what?
We don’t want biden and now they’re talking against Trump. Good heavens, do they really want conjobRon? Not me. I’m voting Trump – AGAIN. Not sorry either, cuz I wouldn’t vote for biden if my life literally depended on it because IT DOES AT THIS POINT. Donchasee that? WE NEED TRUMP.
President Trump does NOT want the GOP to be murdered. He wants each precinct to be infiltrated and coopted.
GOP precincts == the Establishments galleons.
Be one of President Trumps MAGA pirate/privateers. Seize control of your precinct galleon.
Embrace your mission and your once in a life time adventure.
Or don’t.
Lol I like that idea
I am a Republican but will never vote RINO again. I am hoping Trump wins the nomination and after the general election removes all the RNC or starts a third party. The Republicans left me long ago and I am finally returning the favor.
Oh, this is GOLD!! Well worth repeating all over the internet. I’m not a registered repub but I vote repub most of the time, especially since the Clinton gang was in WADC and turned things totally upside down. It’s been a mess ever since. So I don’t vote dem either. Guess what I am??!!!
The Republican Party was already DOA when I first came to the realization of the depth of their unconstitutional vices back in ’96.
I was a big Pat Buchanan supporter, much the same as I am for Trump (not big money supporter, but as a foot soldier and spreading the alarm of the pending doom if Bob Dole becomes the GOP Candidate and if Clinton gets the White House).
Everything we warned our family, friends and etc has been fulfilled. And, unfortunately, gotten worse than even we could have imagined.
So, what now? I sit here shaking my head. With God, all things are possible? All things work together for good for those who are the called according to His purpose? Pray without ceasing? Study to show yourself approved; a workman who needs not to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth? If My people who are called by My name….?
That’s where I find myself; the only safe place a man (or woman) can be at a time such as this. But I’ll leave you with this last thought for now out of the Book of Daniel, who knew first hand of his share of tyrannical government. This is how he coped:
From Daniel 9: 15 “And now, Lord, our God, You who brought Your people out of the land of Egypt with a mighty hand and made a name for Yourself, as it is this day—we have sinned, we have been wicked.
16 Lord, in accordance with all Your righteous acts, let now Your anger and Your wrath turn away from Your city Jerusalem, Your holy mountain; for because of our sins and the wrongdoings of our fathers, Jerusalem and Your people have become an object of taunting to all those around us.
17 So now, our God, listen to the prayer of Your servant and to his pleas, and for Your sake, Lord, let Your face shine on Your desolate sanctuary.
18 My God, incline Your ear and hear! Open Your eyes and see our desolations and the city which is called by Your name; for we are not presenting our pleas before You based on any merits of our own, but based on Your great compassion.
19 Lord, hear! Lord, forgive! Lord, listen and take action! For Your own sake, my God, do not delay, because Your city and Your people are called by Your name.”
Gronimo’s Note: I know this happened a long time ago, and I don’t want to stir up a big controversy, but I am of those who think it’s ok to say “the Church” when Daniel uses “Jerusalem.”
We are the same people of God as is Daniel, if we are “the called according to His purpose,” and, we are praying without ceasing to the same God as is Daniel. And may all those who are saying this prayer, or one of many others like it, be blessed to see it answered in our lifetime, as Daniel did in his.
Lord in your mercy hear our prayers!
Amen
“Hear our prayers” then work with us and through us.
Working WITH God, Davids actions == Goliaths destruction.
The bible is full of these story reminders.
Our actions allow God to speak his answer to our word prayers.
Some crowd he’s got there! They could have saved their time and just asked for a copy of the script he read. (Boringly).
B.K.
Been following R party politics, since Goldwater.
Firstly, THEY did not initiate this, hence everything they are doing is REACTIVE.
In their view, this has ALWAYS been a ‘challenge’ and they have developed myriad, layered defences, to defend such attacks, which HAVE, in the past “worked”.
Goldwater, Perot, Ron Paul, Reagan etc. So “past performance” leads them to think that they can “take a hit” but over time recover, because “where ELSE is the base going to go?”
So long as they undermine any competition for their occupying THE SPACE of a ‘conservative’ party, like destroying the Tea Party, Goldwater, Perots party, Buchannan, etc. they can continue to ride the gravy train.
And yes, I agree with your accessment, MAGAS assault is different than all previous efforts, and IMHO they can NOT recover.
Much like the pregenitor Tea Party, in trying to destroy MAGA, they will in fact destroy themselves.
Imo, Trump is running a variation of the operation Establishment Republicans used to infiltrate and coopt the Tea Party.
Hence Trumps call for everyone’s help and this link he shared
https://theprecinctstrategy.com.
Imo, its also why Establishment Republicans have obviously been baiting MAGA Republicans into rage quitting the Party rather than doing what President Trumps been asking them to do; get MORE involved, infiltrate the precincts and coopt them.
That’s it! Infiltrate, overwhelm, remove & take over the party.
That’s what I was hopefully thinking and what Trumps perceived strategy is revealing.
Thanks, Dutch! I knew it would come to me with you and everyone else’s input.
Only if enough people stop voting for the “lesser of two evils”
Anyone challenging us to vote RdS if they keep PDJT off the ballot because “the Dem is worse” can shove it.
The Greedy Old Possums did this!
It’s all on you.
Own it.
There goal IS to install “Rob”; I believe Joe WILL be the D candidate, in 2024 precisely because he IS so horrible.
He is the “because the DEM is worse!” cautionary tale they believe will force the base to ‘hold its nose’ and vote for Rob, after the RNC uses “over 100 INDICTMENTS!” excuse to deny PDJT the RNC nomination.
THATS the play,..anyway.
THEY are indulging in hopium, to think it will work, but I suspect there ARE many R voters, who will be susceptible to “falling for it”.
NOT however, nearly as many as they THINK, because they are basing their whole strategy on flawed data from their “internal polling”.
Doesn’t matter who the Dims install. The criminally corrupt kenyan will still be calling the shots to further destroy America
My guess is different.
If the UniParty schemes succeed, which I believe they won’t, and Ron is the Republican presidential nominee then Ron would lose. As intended.
Ron’s loss and the resulting four more years with a Democrat pResident would then be blamed on President Trump and his MAGA cult.
Consequently, my FOCUS is on ensuring that these schemers wind up shaking their clenched fists at the sky while rage screamming, “curses, foiled again”.
Political persecution prosecutions == Trump becomes an international hero and symbol for Resistance to the NWO; MAGAsMandela.
Notice the professional soundboard in the foreground and the lighting rig over the stage. ????
>>>> Sundance said “They are in the race to destroy MAGA and the American-First agenda.”
However, when you listen to Ron DeSantis’s prepared stump speech, the essence is America First but they don’t use the same phrase, instead “America Comeback” (to tie in his manufactured ‘never back down’ courage tour) and never mention president Trump’s name. I hope nobody is fooled by the mini-me copycat.
DeSantis can not articulate his policy difference from president Trump’s, and hope by side-stepping the question, voters can be fooled by the newest twirling shiny toys.
He DID back down. Remember how his handlers had him change out his Ukraine comment?
I want to know WHY a lawyer’s military records are redacted!
He was involved with a lot of shady shit down in Guantanamo regarding the detainees.
DeSantis went on national tv yesterday, while stump speeching I think, and said that Trump moved his whole family to FL under DeSantis’s policies. IS HE KIDDING??? Trump’s family moved to FL years and years ago, it had nothing to do with DeSantis and his “policies”. Good heavens.
Meatball inherited a Red State, he didn’t build it.
Chances are he won’t leave it as one either.
Trump bought Mar-A-Lago in 1987.
“The essence” of Rons policies == rejection of President Trumps America First MAGA policies.
“The essence” of Rons “Comeback” == Comeback to the pre Trump, Bush era Republican Party; the Party of Neocons, DC Kabuki politics, Globalists and a base made up of intentionally disteacted, perpetually triggered, piety policing Theocons.
DeSanctus said he would pardon President Trump for January 6.
That is all you need to know about what he is staking his campaign on.
Disgusting.
What a disgrace for DeTraitor to even go to those lengths to speak of such things. He has no respect for
President Trump, the man who put him where he is now.
Funny, former attorney/scum Geraldo Rivera on Fox has been pushing a Trump pardon from Biden if Trump promises to quit his campaign, even though Geraldo knows a pardon does not affect State cases. They already have him convicted and sentenced to jail, even though they know he can still run for President, be elected, take the oath of office and then pardon himself.
Pardon for a crime he has not yet been charged with, a good trick.
One would almost think RDS had some “inside info” on what Jack Smith INTENDS to charge PDJT with.
What a blatant “tell”.
Desantis has done nothing for the Floridian Jan 6th prisoners.
More people are grasping the battle as spiritual: good vs. evil. Sara Huckabee called it normal vs. crazy. More republicans and conservatives will come to know that “normal” means good and “crazy” means evil. There are some there, some trying to figure it out and some who will reject the notion. Getting back to normal depends on the speed of acceptance and the amount of acceptance and if there is no acceptance, we are indeed: doomed.
Ephesians 6:12
Ephesians 6:12 NKJV
For we do not wrestle against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this age, against spiritual hosts of wickedness in the heavenly places.
My simple question: if the RNC is not necessarily in it to win elections, then what is the value realized to the donors?
DC agenda maintenance.
I think this is more like J.Edgar Hoover 4.x. The dirty deals is one of many ways the IC controls the politicians and government employees. While they are drunk on power, they still recognize the IC as the supreme power.
[This was meant to be a reply to George S, not to Sundance.]
We live in a one party state.
Thus, AOC votes for more Ukrainian war funding. Her anti-war supporters are horrified, but AOC votes for the war anyway.
Another example: the democrats vote to forbid a railroad strike — even though unions support democrats.
When it comes down to money, the democrats and republicans vote the same way.
The corporations write the bills, and Congress passes them unread.
It’s a one party government that only looks like two parties.
Key Republicans/Democrats are financially rewarded to maintain the status quo. The status quo is extremely lucrative for our globalist royalty.
“Western” politics are predicated on the illusion of choice.
When the illusion of choice dissipates, civil wars occur
Passing the selection baton back and forth between two parties has a mesmerizing effect on the voting populace. It keeps everyone in a distracted state, and in perpetual hope that there will be a possibility of charge.
When hope disappears, people become fearful.
Fear inevitably turns into anger.
Anger becomes rage…
They now have a quandary. Since the “Hope & Change” agenda has come about the Rinos kept saying they will fix it. But they never did and many became suspicious.
Then came Trump. He threw a wrench into their gears. His wrench has blown up the entire machine. As the whole machine comes apart (and many see their scam) they now are incredibly vulnerable and yes there could be worse things on the horizon.
I say pray!
Do not be anxious about anything, but in everything by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known to God. And the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus (Philippians 4:6–7)
Jesus Christ is King! Amen
A leftist Harvard economics professor did a study that “crunched the #’s” and showed that ALL wages are lowered, by illegal immigrants working in our workforce.
The donors benefit in lower costs for workers, regardless of what business they are in.
Obamacare disproportionately hurt mainstreet over Wall Street, with many smaller businesses forced to drop healthcare for their employees, while large corporations switched to two part time (and so “exempt” from the mandate) instead of one full time employee, and “health insurance” costs, (NOT “HEALTHCARE COSTS”) were transferred from employers to taxpayers.
Donors benefitted from outsourcing, again lower costs. See why the GOPe has done nothing to restrict illegal immigration, truly act to block obummercare, etc.?
However, they DO play the role of a “vent” for the frustration of the vast majority of the electorate, witness the “Republican wave” after Obummercare passed.
Favoritism for the donors, DC loot
“…same level of vitriol, hatred, bitterness and anger as they do toward their own base voter.”
Funny, I feel the same about them.
Yup, feelings mutual.
But, while we focus our emotions, and actions at the elected PUBLIC officials, the ones actually doing the machinations to keep the whole con working, are unknown and working in the dark.
Sure, we know about Karl Rove, and Ronna, but it is the anonymous officials at the State R party leadership, that actually keep the whole thing “working”.
They are the KEY as they influence EVERYTHING.
THEY are the painters that detirmine what color your State is painted, hence whether your State R party is “worthless” (Blue State) just getting their *ss kicked (purple) or keeps reelecting RINOS to Senate/House leadership (Graham, McConnell, Thune, etc).
They insure that the State Senate/House LEADERSHIP maintain control over votes, to block election audits, or election law changes, etc.
THEY place RINOS like Richer and Gates in key positions, to rig elections, etc.
They are like the bolt that holds the transmission mount in place.
Just remove the bolt, and the car quickly becomes undrivable, as the transmission falls out.
Smashing the body with a sledgehammer may be satisfying, but the car still runs.
Fight SMARTER, not HARDER.
Take control of your counties. Name federal corruption, but get control of your county.
They hate us? It’s mutual.
So many times we’re forced to vote based on who is less evil… It’s soul crushing. We must correct this abomination – somehow, someway.
Simple: Stop voting for evil.
Instead, write in someone who is not evil
The bible says that ONLY God is good. Consequently the choice is every human interaction is deciding who is “less evil”.
It also helps to realize that, as President Trump has said many times, ” you never know who someone truly is, including yourself, until they’ve been tried by fire”.
Even then, people fall short, again and again. That’s why appreciate President Trumps wisdom and the empathy he has for those who trigger outraged rEEEEEeees and hate; people like former AG Barr and Lindsey.
Personally, I don’t hate them. I have no desire to react to them by poisoning myself with the same toxic emotions that are killing them.
Instead I pity them and pray for them while being willing to soberly Old Yellar them, if need be.
Vengeance is MINE, saith the Lord. He is the final Judge.
I’m comfy with that.
According to Christ, one can know who is who by their fruits ie what they choose to see, hear, think, say and do.
According to Christ, the fruits of the Holy Spirit are NOT hate, or fear or rage.
How many in this crowd were dRATS and how many were paid Indies who got paid to attend?
There’s no other outcome except “battered conservative” if we continue to play in their sandbox.
Gotta go find our own.
I say, kick ’em out of OUR sandbox! They are operating in bad faith and have no right to be ruling the sandbox.
Battered partners don’t have to flee their sandbox to remove their batterer.
Many choose a less emotionally reactive, less self destructive approach. They patiently arrange things so the batterer is removed from the sandbox.
Then then can play in that sandbox AND be comfy too while the batterer can only boo hoo.
In the bible this is described as the “wailing and gnashing of teeth” phase that comes after the person is ejected from the feast and fun.
My motto: Don’t get mad. Get even. Make them gnash teeth.
Christie is a wanker. Obama calling his fellow pedo friend, Bruce Spingsteen to meet his super fan Christie did it for me. Christie gushed like a fat pimple faced lonely teenager, grounded to his room.
Ha ha
NBC reporting Chris Christie will announce for president on Tuesday.
From a Krispy Kream franchise?
Dozens of voters are very excited
I don’t think he has that many family members who support him.
He doesn’t have to give up his token “conservative” role on ABC doe he ?
They are releasing The Blimp.
All neocon Ron has is a few people who never liked Trump to begin with. Stupid people who still don’t understand that Trump was successful before he ran for POTUS, he is not a crooked politician. DeSantis fell for the Bush family B.S.
Right on!
“Battered Conservative No More!”
Ya know, the RNC/GOPe/RINOs aren’t geniuses…….
They are just plain old crooks and not good ones at that….
They are the gang that couldn’t cheat straight…….
They blew their cheating in 2016 ….when President Trump won.
They blew their cheating again in 2020 … when President Trump won, again……
They got caught and had to resort to the openly treasonous house on 1/6/2021 to reject the legal challenges to the fraudulent electors and instead inserted biden into the position of presidency.
They have no where to hide. Their names are known. Their crimes documented.
Not the ending they were promised.
President Trump and his MAGA / America First movement won, they lost.
“Let’s go Brandon and the democrats and the GOPe, especially the DeXX gang!”
They “installed” biden because they needed another dimwit dem crook to try to cover up past mistakes. Now the crook they inserted into the WH is the biggest crook, along with his family, this world is ever likely to see in the position of the American President. The man was too feeble to even pay tribute to the fallen on Memorial Day. Totally lame and demented, and HE’S IN CHARGE. Good grief. Trump cannot come back fast enough. Bring on 2024!!
Their “win” may become the most famous pyrrhic victory in history.
Whether or not it is depends on what each of us does each day starting right now.
Hopefully helpful:
The past is history. The future’s a mystery. Right NOW is a gift, that’s why its called THE PRESENT.
Perhaps the last one.
Running the interstates and secondary roads across the country I still see plenty of Trump signs- some were never taken down from the last election. I haven’t seen..yet any Desantis signs, no Nikki signs,No Pence signs and sure as hell no Biden signs- ever. Maybe instead of these stupid polls a better way to gauge support would be signs…especially yard signs as that’s personal. I also miss the Buma Shave signs.
“Burma Shave”, but yeah.
“Within this vale of toil and sin…”
Nice update/perspective, Mike.
Thanks!
I’m just waiting for the corrupt leftist govt run msm to air reports daily of previous President Trump voters who now are switching to the meatball because they like what he says and his tweets aren’t mean!!! That President Trump is old news, “radioactive” and the meatball is the future!!! Interviews of those sticking with President Trump will not be aired. JMO
Yeah. They are all starting out saying how Trump is still their guy. See! We think just like you!!
But my guess is they will find something to “change their mind” and why it is important to switch to DeSantis , likely the indictments.
THEY are! Clay and Buck (CIA), are openly pushing DeSantis.. pretending otherwise. Buck is in a lot of early Meetings down there in Florida. They started within minutes of the opening today. I flipped the dial. I am so damn mad they have Rush’s show. And HOW did they get it to begin with?
GOPe?
Don’t listen to their program anymore. They aren’t going to miraculously change and support Donald Trump if that’s what you’re hoping for!
“I am so damn mad they have Rush’s show.”
They don’t have Rush’s show. They have his old time slot. Saying they have his show is like saying Jimmy Fallon has Johnny Carson’s show (and Fallon is to Carson about what Clay & Buck are to Rush).
The only worthy successor to Rush would have been Mark Steyn who was, appropriately enough, guest-hosting Rush’s show the very day Rush passed away.
How much did Catherine have to do with it the hiring of the two “Conservative” posers? Maybe nothing? Maybe something? Maybe everything.
But I noticed it didn’t take her terribly long to sell the FL house that Rush loved so much. Perhaps those were his wishes? But it should have been turned into a visitor site: a museum to Rush’s patriotism, his broadcast history, his 30+ years’ of on-air defense of the Bill of Rights, and his “talent on loan from Goddd”.
Remember his stories about the local govt threatening the beach residents to keep their outdoor lights OFF for weeks at a time, to protect the baby turtles? Those were memorable rants, combined always with discussion of the proper role of local government in property owners’ lives.
Rush would have had a lot to say about the GOPe / UniParty ploys, about his FL Governor the Presidential Candidate, and about the never-ending hachet job the UniParty continues to unload relentlessly against President Trump.
IMO, Clay and Buck are controlled opposition.
The ability of the NWO Media PsyOp Machines to mind wash people has been severely damaged, thanks in large part to Trumps inspiring leadership.
YOU, me, each of us, are the news now. Embrace your inner Paul Revere and Thomas Paine. Start spreading the word far and wide.
Additionally, up your persuasion skills so more people can hear what you’re saying.
“How to Win, Bigly” is a great intro to persuasion techniques that uses what President Trump has done to illustrate those techniques.
God bless all Lighthearted MAGA Doers.
Ew Scott Adams promo? Gross.
The republican establishment attacked and undermined the American First candidates during the 2022 elections and sabotaged the red wave. Their treachery was a sonic boom and an “In Your Face” power move. We could have had a majority in both houses and been able to thwart FJB and his masters.
I despise the democrats and I detest the republicans, some days it’s the other way around.
America Come Back?
GOP on it’s back.
They hung out the red light long ago.
As someone who has felt DeSantis should have waited until 2024, I am now becoming turned off by Trump’s petty insults and name-calling, and his flip flopping on prolife matters and his unwillingness to admit he was wrong on lockdowns and vaccines. He is still touting the dangerous and ineffective jabs. I find you convincing, Sundance, so convince me that Trump is NOT shooting himself in the foot with his tactics, such as insulting Kayleigh McEnany. His defence of Disney is also troubling. DeSantis is hitting all the right MAGA notes for this ex patriot (I live in Canada) Republican —whether on defending children against Woke stuff, on Disney, and now on the debt ceiling fight. I feel sad this is happening because a great leader who has suffered greatly from unjust persecution by weaponized gov. agencies is now shooting himself in the foot by narcissistic behavior. And what is up with saying Gov. Cuomo handled the pandemic better than De Santis? No Democrat governor handled the pandemic better than DeSantis and only a few Republicans did as well. Yes, the money interests behind DeSantis are troubling. But He is saying all the right things. Except maybe on the War in Ukraine, where Trump is right. I am genuinely undecided now, not trying to be troublesome of partisan. Help me out here.
Why do you need someone to “convince” you? Do your own thinking and make up your own mind.
MAGA is economic nationalism – DeSantis voted for TPP which was economic treason. That’s it full stop.
MAGA is not “owning the libtards” through anti-woke theater that means nothing and amounts to nothing.
Kayleigh McEnany is a TV personality that plays a part just like Sean Hannity, Laura Ingraham, etc.
And DeSantis locked down Florida and promoted the jabs add to that he didn’t even defend FL citizens from vaccine mandates when he had the authority.
Desantis never speaks about his economic policy. The only Republican candidate who does is Donald Trump.
My grocery bill is getting hard.
Trump only name-calls when necessary, Like when milktoast lied about a poll that Trump was at 25 when in fact it was 35 points abouve Rob Santis.
Trump was right. Kayleigh is milktoast.
I guess I missed the part of the equation where Trump called Kayleigh names. He should stop doing that, it’s very unbecoming and won’t help his cause at all. Trump did not “promote the vaxx’s” he tried to promote that one older drug (can’t think of the name of it right now) which has now been proven to have been a good idea. America is now very skeptical because of joe biden so everything anyone does is put under a microscope and then spouted to the nation as “misleading”, whether it is or not. That’s why no one knows what to believe anymore. It’s the confusion the dimwit dems were asking for. And we were all dumb enough to give it to them.
If all it takes to convince you is “nice sounding words,” then this post is likely a waste of my time. Nonetheless . . . . .
Rather than look at words, look at ACTIONS–i.e., look at both of these men’s records.
Go back and review Trump’s successes while in office. Look at the policies Trump has posted for 2024. Dig into Ron’s voting record while in Congress. Look at the laws Ron has signed lately and think about how those same laws can be used against conservatives when a Democrat becomes governor of Florida. Try to find Ron’s policy statements for 2024 (good luck with that as I don’t think he has any).
In other words, do your homework–unless, of course, you just want to vote for the person who says nice things to your face (and then stabs you in the back)!
Governor of Missouri handled the kungflu much better than DeSantis
ROLCON ALERT?
I would like to go one step further on your post, First,President Trump is the most PRO LIFE PRESIDENT THIS COUNTRY HAS EVER HAD, Desantis and the rest of these people are making an issue of him saying He is leaving it up to the states
He is the one who got Row v wade brought back to the states and he decided to allow each state to decide what they wanted to do about abortion, President Trump has always told the truth about everything and not desantis The only reason he is in this race is because he has been paid big money to do the job of TAKING OUT PRESIDENT TRUMP AND you have to make up your mind but only a fool would go along with what Desantis is saying now.
sorry, President Trump is the best and greatest President this country has ever had, bar none..
The thing here is that He is the one who put warp speed together so that the states would open because they were all telling him that they would not open until they had a vaccine and Desantis says a lot of things about what he did but when you look at some of those things they just bottom out and dont do what he says so again do some research of your own and then if you go with DEsantis so be it.. but you have made some statements here about President Trump and so again He is not the bad guy here .
Trump is King.
Good to know that DeSantis has secured the Canadian vote.
Stop focusing on the words. What do RINOs do when they campaign? They say all the right things and do the opposite in office. Trump, when he wasn’t being knee-capped at every turn, got stuff done. Good stuff that helped We The People and not the elites. Who cares about his mean tweets? This is not the time for pearl-clutching.
As for all the things DeSantis did as Fl. Gov., they were done BECAUSE his run was already in the works to appeal to the MAGA base. It was easy stuff that had temporary benefits. He is being handled by the billionaires who bought him. If you look at what he did in Congress, the RINO picture becomes more clear. Don’t be deceived.
Exactly. Desantis is a bait and switch scam. A mercenary conservative in it for the money…
Here, let me help you with your selective memory:
https://www.npr.org/sections/coronavirus-live-updates/2020/04/01/825383186/florida-governor-orders-statewide-lockdown
Florida has now joined the list of states that are ordering residents to remain in their homes for all but essential activities to help stop the spread of the coronavirus. Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis made the announcement at an afternoon briefing. It was just a few hours after he spoke to President Trump. DeSantis said he’s issuing an executive order that will direct “all Floridians to limit movements and personal interactions outside the home to only those necessary to obtain or provide essential services or essential activities.”
With this order, Florida is joining more than 30 other states, Washington, D.C., and Puerto Rico in ordering a lockdown.
https://www.tampabay.com/news/florida-politics/2022/12/15/gov-ron-desantis-shifting-positions-vaccines-under-fire/
Gov. Ron DeSantis’ top media adviser has a mantra that the governor won’t give an interview unless it’s recorded because she doesn’t want her boss’ words twisted out of context.
But when the governor announced on Tuesday that he wants a grand jury to investigate what he suspects is misleading information from the pharmaceutical companies over the safety of the mRNA vaccines, particularly cardiac-related deaths tied to the vaccines in young men, a cascade of old recorded interviews started spilling out.
Network television focused on video from late 2020 and early 2021 showing DeSantis touting the vaccine as safe and effective to prevent serious illness from COVID-19 infections.
“The vaccines protect you. Get vaccinated and then live your life as if you’re protected,’’ DeSantis is recorded saying during a May 3, 2021, press conference.
“The messaging should be ‘get a vaccine because it’s good for you to do it. It works,’ ‘’ he said in another.
“The Late Show” host Stephen Colbert pieced together half a dozen of the DeSantis statements for his monologue on Wednesday. Colbert introduced the clips by saying: “Well, if DeSantis is going full conspiracy and attacking anyone who promoted this vaccine, I just hope he cracks down on whoever this guy is.”
“We know that there is no time to waste when it comes getting shots in arms,’’ Colbert showed DeSantis saying in one recorded video.
“They’re safe. They’re effective vaccines,’’ DeSantis said in another.
https://www.clickorlando.com/news/local/2020/04/01/coronavirus-florida-governor-issues-statewide-30-day-stay-at-home-order/
Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis issued an executive order Wednesday instructing the state of Florida to “take a pause” for 30 days and stay home amid the coronavirus pandemic.
The statewide stay-at-home order went into effect at 12:01 a.m. Friday. toResidents will still be allowed go out to get essential supplies, including food and groceries.
“I’m issuing an executive order directing all Floridians to limit movements and personal interactions outside the home to only those necessary and essential activities,” the governor said.
He did not order the closure of any beaches, but Volusia County officials on Thursday closed its beaches. Brevard County, however, has taken a different stance, allowing beachgoers to exercise but not sunbathe.
“The order doesn’t specifically say any of that is shut down,” said Brevard County Sheriff Wayne Ivey. “We’re going to find out just how far the order extends.”
Agree with you. As she has reminded us, no one alleges that American voters are smart.
Trump is America first you nim nit. If you aren’t, then go Biden. If you’re going to vote on feelings, then you aren’t qualified to make voting decisions.
Ron hyping , Don dissing CON Inc talking points == lies.
Fortunately, this laundry list of Con Inc lies have already been exposed and debunked. Repeatedly.

I hear a lot of other people’s opinions in your post. Why don’t you review the original video so you can hear exactly what Trump said, as opposed to what the professional talking heads said he said.
Let me address one of your confusions, the Cuomo one.
What Trump said was, if DeSantis was so much better than Cuomo, why did Florida have a higher death rate from Covid (if you believe any of those numbers) than New York.
https://www.statista.com/statistics/1109011/coronavirus-covid19-death-rates-us-by-state/
In my book it’s a very good question that when you seek the answers, you will know why DeSantis is lying out his *ss.
It’s not that Cuomo was good. The point is, DeSantis was worse.
Nailed it Sundance.
Where’s the impeachment hearings of Myorkis et al ??

Given a choice of only 2 parties, I would have to pick repubs over dimwit dems any day of the week. But we do have an Independent party too, ya know. Maybe more attention should be paid to that rather than constantly knocking the politics we do have.
I, too, am wondering why the biden “administration” seems to be getting away with all kinds of crap and no one is saying a word, so where is Mayorkas on all of that, besides in front of a mic lying at warp speed to the American people. He’s not alone. Merrick Garland couldn’t find the truth in ANYTHING with both hands and a flashlight. He joins many others from the current administration and administrations past. What a mess.
Impeachment hearings =/= Removal from office.
Mocking the GOP for being “all hat, no cattle” while demanding another “all hat, no cattle” DC kubuki rodeo, why?
I am thinking that possibly the battle for our country boils down to bringing a 3rd party onto the “playing” field. The MAGA base is (I believe and both Sundance and other commenters here seem to believe) we are a force to be reckoned with. Some seeds were planted back in the day of Ross Perot, and those seeds tried to germinate again in the days of the Tea Party. But there was not a strong leader of either endeavor.
Now there is a strong leader AND he has already been President and demonstrated what he can do. Furthermore, more leadership voices are rising up. However, being part of the republican party is tying their hands. The republican party, the GOP as a brand is as dead and despised as is Bud Light.
Why are we and our leaders clinging to a brand name that has no worth, not even enough worth to send me to the polls on election day except to write in “Donald John Trump” for President. And that will be my final vote ever cast unless there is a 3rd party that stands for American principles as outlined and envisioned by our Founding Fathers.
You all should read the book called “Founding Brothers”. Excellent stuff!
When are we going 3rd party?
fall of 2024 when Trump is not the Pub nominee but you vote for him anyway
A perennial political lemmings question; a question encouraged by the Establishment’s 24/7 PsyOps that exploit the outraged feels the Establishment intentionally create.
President Trump is my captain and guide during these PsyWar Storms and God is my protector.
And my Captain, President Trump is leading a hostile takeover of the GOP, one precinct at a time.
#ImWithHim
Obviously, other people may make other choices. Some people may choose to side, witingly or unwittingly, with those who oppose President Trump and correctly view him as an existential threat.
SD, you state, Battered Conservative No More!
How does a battered spouse break the cycle of abuse? Not by staying with the evil bastard, and trying to reform him, which fails in 99% of the cases, but by leaving the abuser.
Therefore if we want to be a Battered Conservative No More! we must leave the ahole party and find a new party.
Simple as that. Leaving. Nothing good will come our way by staying.
I’m out of this abusive relationship. Should have left years ago. Would have been much happier.
Or kick them (‘they’) out of the proverbial house.
Sometimes, the battered spouse takes all or most of the assets from the abuser spouse, leaving them on the street.
Savvy people who are abused DON’T run away from home like a naive child.
They patiently plan to arrange for the abuser to leave.
Or they “find a new” place to go before leaving and plan their leaving like an adult.
Been there. Done that. Help others do that.
I prefer reals. Not a fan of performative feels.
Trump == Reagan
DeSantis == Bush
Repeat this on every social media. The message is clear and simple.
What if they gave a war, and no one came?
The GOPe is starkly incapable of nominating a winning candidate at this point in American history.
The 2020 Uniparty deal to rob Donald Trump was surely more pervasive than we know yet.
Recall that Crazy Bernie was winning Iowa, until he too got the screwgie.
James Clyburn steered the South Carolina primary to Biden, and Bush 43 then called Clyburn our “savior”.
Crazy Bernie was on TV shortly before the 2020 election, describing precisely the fraud that was coming. This was after Biden appeared bragging about the “extensive” voter fraud network the Democrats had created.
2024 has been war-gamed in meticulous detail by the Uniparty.
I predict the Democrats will nominate someone unbearable to most Americans. Stacey Abrams, or worse? This will drive whatever moderates remain in America to the tapioca pudding the Republicans manage to shove down our throats.
The Left will love Stacey or her uglier cousin. And her defeat will solidify the Democrats’ stranglehold on the Black vote.
Biden’s yin has a yang in the GOPe. The other shoe will drop.
…… “we don’t do that here – we are talking about money.”
So here we are, fixing that wing of the uniparty, so they can continue.
It’s like ACLU charity hospitals. They don’t exist.
Sigh. These idiots who want peace at the dinner table don’t realize their sons and daughters will be drafted to fight a real war against Russia.
They may get their way.
Hard to argue at an empty table.
The only reason for the 1 and 2 percenters is to prevent Trump from going over 50% in the fake polls. (yes, to defend the establishment)
“Less than half of voting Republicans want Trump” is the narrative they want people to believe.
Test.
“The Democrat party fears their base; the Republican party despises their base.”
BOOM! FACT. FULL STOP.
I hate the GOP more than I hate the Democrats…I am done pretending.
I. Am. Their. Nightmare.
Yes, I feel the same way today.
In the past, I would hold my nose and vote for the Romney and McCains but I know too much now.
I will write in Donald J Trump, if for some reason he’s not on the ballot.
CommonSense,
Through the years I have written in Ron Paul, Howard Philips, Pat Buchanan, and Chuck Baldwin…
…once you do it “you are free! FREE AT LAST!” from the RNC owning your political soul.
Kudos!!!
Now please FOCUS on using each PRESENT God gives you to ensure that President Trump wins the primary battles and becomes the Republican presidential nominee so no one has “to write in Trumps name”.
An ounce of prevention versus…..
WHY? An explanation is in order. We have a 3rd party. They’re called Independents but no one pays any attention to them, never has. It’s a shame.
The dimwit dems are full on liars and crooks. I don’t see that in the repub party (maybe a liar here and there, but that’s pretty normal during election season, doncha think)? I’ll support Trump no matter what party he’s with, he’s done us more good in 4 years than most of the dimwit dems have attempted to do in their entire worthless lives.
The self-preservation and self-enrichment mentality also explains their unrelenting support for the Ukraine war and blind quest to destroy Putin at all costs while kissing China’s a$$.
It ain’t about national security. It’s all about their own wallet. Lindsey Graham’s ridiculous embrace of the pervert piano player paints the perfect modern GOP picture. Disgusting.
There needs to be a national movement to boycott the RNC and all their funding apparatus.
If conservatives can effectively boycott Anheuser Bush and Target, then we can successfully prevent people from funding the corrupt RNC.
I know, I know, they will still get corporate funding but it is a start and more importantly, it will highlight their corruption, the pursuit for money and not principles. They stopped being conservatives a long time ago.
We also need to starve the beast and get people to drop their cable…until people know the Cool Kids don’t do cable or dish anymore we are giving aid-&-comfort to our enemies. Please know that I am not saying, “Cut your internet.” Regrettably, that is necessary in this information war.
Never paid for cable or satellite TV. I was not missing much as I had seen all the halfway decent channels going downhill years before I moved out and got my own place.
Regrettably, cable internet is really the only choice in my area for lack of better options.
👍👍
I think that is the natural progression in this country, for most people to get their news from the internet, and their entertainment from streaming services.
Will the elderly hold on to their cable? Yes, possibly, but that is understandable in order to simplify their lives.
Agreed CommonSense, what the cabal is doing to our children and our elderly is demonic.
Murdoch said Fox WILL SUPPORT MEATBALL.
If you pay for cable (eg, FOX), you are funding the Desantis campaign. Boycott cable like you do Bud Lite!
The two wings of the uniparty buzzard, useless as teats on a boar hog.
As somebody who worked, as a volunteer, for Brown, I hate to admit it now but I am sorry that we defeated Martha Coakley. Had she won that race Harvard would still have Pocahontas as their first Native American Law professor and Ms. Jeep(h) Cherokee is a truly malignant grifter. I do not believe that I have ever had much common with Senator Sanders, but I almost vomited when Pocahontas attacked him on the debate stage. Compared to her, Ms. Coakley is just another political hack, like her whole family, but probably mostly harmless relatively speaking as her career has shown.
Does anyone else see another Night of the Long Knives coming? Targeting Patriots and MAGA leaders. 87,000 new armed and trained “IRS agents”. Controlled Open Border allowing many military aged men entry with transport to military bases around the country in the dead of night. Weaponizing all Alphabet Agencies, purging them of Patriots and turning their focus on Patriots. Ramping up attacks on the Bill of Rights and Judiciary. Perfecting election fraud to ensure a Trump never happens again. War planning really. Make no mistake, they fear Patriots. Be Prepared.
If there is one common thing left in America it surely is that Americans don’t like cheaters. Everybody KNOWS that President Trump was cheated out of his win in 2020. Both Democrat and Republican polling shows this. He deserves to be restored to his rightful office and will be if there is any justice left in this world at all.
Common garden variety scumbags.
Thanks for posting that.
You do realize that letter was from 2014, right? Obozo was still in office at that time, working hard to get America involved in some kind of conflict, he didn’t give a damn.
that these people despise me and their base is enough to make me never vote for any of them again.
let them lose.
Professional Repube: Music? No, I don’t have any time for that but I did like that “Money” song by that Pink Floyd guy!
By the way, which one is Pink? (You’ll get this if you are a Pink Floyd fan 😉😊)
Sometimes the simplest answer really is the explanation to confounding questions. Why? Why do republicans have “no spine”? Why do republicans not stand up to the demonrats and their outlandish policies? Why do republicans always stab their constituents in the back? Why does nothing ever change in Washington? Why don’t republicans fight for election reform, fight to stop illegal immigration, and fight to continue our energy independence and dominance? The RNC and its “representatives” only care about money! There is nothing else you need to know about republicans. That is it! Money is the root of all evil has never rang more true! Thank you Sundance for simplifying this.
People need to let go of this notion that Republicans “have no spine.”
Everything that Sundance discussed here has nothing to do with Republicans being “cowards” or “weak” or “the Stupid Party.”
They are complicit, not stupid, not cowardly. If you know that all the GOPe cares about is money, it means they don’t give a rat’s a$$ about winning elections, and therefore, they are not cowards or weak or stupid.
Speaking for myself, I don’t consider republicans having no spine as they are weak. I reference no spine as not standing up for what’s right. Money is their god, and they bow to that master. Having a spine is doing what’s right even if it’s not popular or in your best interest.
“For the love of money is the root of evil.” I can’t believe how many people inadvertently truncate that phrase.
Expand your point, Sundance.
Look at the age of the DaaaaSantis influencers in 2008 and think of it as a time when Obama and the cult of personality became the measure of success for politicos. Not substance…just image.
That is how they view everything.
The governor’s mansion meeting in Tallahassee included:
I feel confident every one of them opened their Twitter accounts between 2009-2011.
JoeS:
America never really shook off the effect of FDR’s New Deal generation
The abandonment of capitalism and the blind faith in the State lingers on.
And Kennedy’s Camelot, most improbably, still grips the Democrats.
Everything stated in this article may be 100% true, but do not kid yourself that Democrats are”only” interested in power, and not money as well. Allow me to rattle off a few names to prove my point: Biden, Obama, Reid, Pelosi, Schumer, Cuomo, Hobbs …. and those are the easy ones to identify. Any of those folks noted for charitable giving? Or for living modestly? HA.
“Current Republican politicians are focused, to the detriment of all other facets, on their personal wealth.”
It isn’t JUST the republicans who are guilty of this. Personally, I’d rather have them coming for my money than coming for my freedom (which is what the dimwit dems are doing, selling us out to china in a big way).
Too many here are OK with stuffing their hands in their pockets and waiting for our demise.
Fine.
And your plan is..?
Or maybe they are just waiting for you to take the lead and be the example or idea man. I’m excited to know what YOU are going to do.
