Those who understand the long history of Mitch McConnell as a Machiavellian-minded Senate Leader well understand how this is playing out.
John Thune’s prior endorsement of Donald Trump sets the stage. Nikki Haley withdrawing from opposition to Donald Trump, on behalf of the financial and professional political class who underwrote her effort, was a transparent predicate.
Now comes the Machiavellian leverage move by Senate Leader Mitch McConnell, who falsely positions his support without conditions as a lull toward a duplicitous intent.
In the background, the DeceptiCon move will be to support something akin to California Democrat Senate candidate Adam Schiff as an installment move within the upper chamber.
Schumer/McConnell planning for Thune’s installation with an agreement to acquiesce appointment of Schiff to replace SSCI Chair Mark Warner as a background move to impede the threat that a successful Trump reelection represents.
That’s the type of senatorial ploy we should expect.
If MAGA has not learned these lessons by now, then nothing has been learned about the nature of opposition. That is simply the way of the UniParty Senate.
(Via ABC News) – Senate Republican leader Mitch McConnell, a longtime critic of Donald Trump and a frequent target, on Wednesday endorsed him in the 2024 presidential race.
“It is abundantly clear that former President Trump has earned the requisite support of Republican voters to be our nominee for President of the United States,” McConnell said in a statement Wednesday, just after Nikki Haley suspended her campaign.
“It should come as no surprise that as nominee, he will have my support,” McConnell added. “During his Presidency, we worked together to accomplish great things for the American people including tax reform that supercharged our economy and a generational change of our federal judiciary – most importantly, the Supreme Court.”
“I look forward to the opportunity of switching from playing defense against the terrible policies the Biden administration has pursued to a sustained offense geared towards making a real difference in improving the lives of the American people.”
Advisers close to Trump and McConnell had been in talks for six weeks over an endorsement, sources confirmed to ABC News, as well as an overall strategy to unite Republicans to win back the Senate in November.
The conversations between the two campaigns went through a single channel: Chris LaCivita, a top campaign adviser to Trump and Josh Holmes, a longtime political strategist to McConnell. (read more)
Break the cycle of abuse. Learn the dark arts of how our national abusers operate.
There is no intent on “uniting Republicans” in the general sense that is sold to a gullible and victimized public.
Our focused emphasis is always directed to the wrong syllable. This is not accidental.
EXAMPLE: Remind yourself when Republican Senator Lindsey Graham expressed outrage at the Christine Blasey Ford construct against SCOTUS nominee Justice Brett Kavanaugh, Graham pointed national attention inwardly toward the political construct. Never once did Graham identify Monica McLean (FBI), Michael Bromwich (DOJ), David Laufman (DOJ) and/or the Lawfare operation who controlled Blasey-Ford. {GO DEEP}
This type of intentional omission and deflection is purposeful. This is simply how the Senate operates.
“It should come as no surprise that as nominee, he will have my support,” McConnell added.
Well actually, it does come as a surprise…
Didn’t Caesar have Brutus’ support at one point? 🔪🔪🔪
Caesar had Brutus’ support after Caesar dumped his mother (Servilia) as a mistress for 20 years or so because his (Caesar’s) wife demanded it in return for her family’s support for his bold act of crossing the Rubicon at the head of his army which led to a string of events that made him Dictator of Rome for life. Only when enough Old Families (Patricians) decried Caesar as a dictator and enemy of the state and joined Pompey to raise an army to defeat Caesar did Brutus turn on Caesar to join Pompey. After Pompey’s death the opposition crumbles to Caesar. Caesar forgives and restores all of the Patrician families to their lands, titles, political positions, etc. At the next Ides Of March the Patrician Senators assassinate him including Brutus on the floor of the Senate House in Rome.
Shakespeare has the dying Caesar say, “Et tu Brutus?” which is, “and you too, Brutus?” This is a misquote, most likely intentional. The historians in classical manuscripts have Caesar as saying, “Et tu teknon?” which is “and you too, male child?” (teknon was Latinized Koine Greek for child). If having said this, Caesar would imply Brutus as an illegitimate son. This is a very good rationale for Caesar’s favoring Brutus when he was not part of Caesar’s family the Julii. The strong inference of historians was that Brutus was Caesar’s illegitimate son from his mistress and that were Calpurnia (Caesar’s wife at the time of his assassination) to die he would likely recognize Brutus as his son. And you thought there was a lot of drama in today’s political intrigues and ruling families?
That was an excellent walk in history. Thank you.
Thank you for the history lesson, I enjoyed it very much.
Oh, PUH–LEEZE, Turdle ! 🐢👹
Meanwhile, lets not be lulled into thinking that Michelle 0*b* that she is not seeking to run for President. Liars lie, Deceivers deceie, grifters grift.
If you will read Sun Tzu in the Art Of War you will find exactly what Cocaine Mitch AKA The Turtle is up to. He makes deals in public that appear to go “North” when behind closed doors he is turning everything possible, “South.” We can only hope that DJT is wary enough to be suspicious of “Turtles” bearing gifts…
Exactly.
I know that President Trump has read ‘The Art of War.” He is even wiser this time around.
What support??
McConnell’s “support” for Trump is like having a fox in the chicken house to work overtime hours.
He knows Trump will be POTUS again, he’s just looking for protection from the Chinese mafia. Xi respected Trump, McConnell and Elaine were never invited to the spread Trump and Melania were.
Git yer wagon away from my hitch Mitch.
Clenched Teeth Mitch.
Shifty Schiff raised THIRTY-ONE MILLION dollars, and Porter raised $28 million in her Senate campaign.
Steve Garvey only had $2 million.
Yet Garvey beat Porter, knocking her out of the race, and he’s going to beat the censured liar Schiff in November! https://www.foxnews.com/politics/katie-porter-blames-billionaires-campaign-lies-concession-speech-even-though-big-donors-backed-her
FOLLOW: @JamesWoodsFans
Watched Garvey play in the minors back in 1970.
There’s no comparison between him and Schifforbrains. There is exactly zero Schifforbrains says or does that isn’t evil and perverted.
Which means the dems will spend whatever it takes to get him elected, because he has zero morals.
McConnell will dump in a ton for Schiff-properly laundered thru Ukraine.
That is why they are demanding money for Ukraine. Over half of it will come back to be used for fraudulent purposes in this election.
They use our money (debt) against us. I think everyone, all at once should stop using our money against us.
The DNC counts the ballots (not votes) in CA. Schiff will be on the SSCI, unless he slips on shower
Nooooooooooo!
.
Yes! Come on California!
Don’t dodge this chance to give America a shot at the big league through a Senate majority . . .
local sources write that no republican has won a statewide race since 2006. They also commented that pencil neck elevated Garvey with a huge attack ad campaign that gave Garvey wider name recognition than he could get with his $2 million.
Behind enemy lines, I know that only God can intervene to help Mr. Garvey.
I went to a local coffee-table discussion with a democrat for California Senate. Hicks gave a short introduction stressing the fact that CA was a one party State. After others asked irrelevant questions, I started by saying ” you mentioned that CA is a one party super majority state, so all the problems of CA are due to democrats failures. Everybody hissed and Hicks a (buttigeig?? clone) moved very close to me, basically pushing me out of the discussion and with the yelps of others I left.
Delusional does not even begin to describe the useful idiots of CA.
Nice !
Steve Garvey? lol.
I wonder how far down the Republicrat’s puppet list they had to go before reaching Steve Garvey. Steven Seagal must have had previous commitments.
Running a straw man candidate is one of the oldest tricks in the California Uniparty’s playbook and Californians still keep falling for it.
Arnold, The Governator, Schwarzenegger immediately comes to mind.
California is hopelessly lost.
I am done with that old turd. The only question now is: How much additional destruction he can inflict prior to disappearing?
Too much!
-ever hear President Ttump speak southern? 😜

I’m sorry, admin, I guess I don’t know how to make the link post w/out the video itself posting.
Don’t apologize, TLH. Thats exactly how you want a Twitter tweet to appear. Including the video. We can click on the video and watch it when it opens a second window with x.com and plays as a normal tweet video.
I got to watch it, thanks!
Yes it’s worth listening to.
No surprise as he is shoving the stick up Trumps backside
This article should be mandatory reading for anyone claiming to be a conservative.
It is high time conservatives learn who the most dangerous enemies to their freedoms are.
McConnell is the trojan horse, and most of the “republican senators” are inside the horse with him.
Agree. It’s been my experience that more people continue to learn more things about the Swamp than ever. However, I think McConnel is the Trojan horse’s ass. And he’ll be dropping road apples from now until November 5th, and probably beyond.
I too celebrate the awaking and appreciate the part the Treehouse plays in that awaking.
Thank you for your sense of humor infused with the treacherous nature of Mitch McConnell.
The wise should never turn their back on McConnell.
They do things like this if for no other reason than to show us who’s boss. For example, in 2018 midterms, House Speaker Paul Ryan allowed 38 races to run without a Republican on the ballot, per Ballotpedia. Meaning, some democrat seats were won by default. Paul Ryan wanted to give the House back to Democrats and he did. GOP prefers to be permanent minority. Until 1994 democrats controlled the House for 40 straight years.
Excellent points Susan, accompanied by an accurate review of the duplicitous nature of the republican party leadership.
Thank you for citing the facts. These are the very reasons the republicans rarely accomplish anything on behalf of the very people that vote them into office.
Yes, and the descriptions of the Republicans as the Washington Generals to the Democrats’ Harlem Globetrotters is so apt! Only there to lose.
The snakes have re- entered the poison garden
The mongooses lay in wait

I’m getting disappointed that the way things look now is that PDJT will become a lame duck president and will not have a chance to make the changes necessary for MAGA. The RINOS, DemonRats, and the Deep State will just run the clock out on Trump’s administration without getting anything substantial done. And if Trump doesn’t play ball with John Thune, Mitt Romney, Susan Collins, Lisa Murcowski and the rest of the ilk they will threaten Trump with a third impeachment. Trump will also not be allowed to pardon Julian Assange or Edward Snowden. The Deep State and uniparty will never ever again allow a true MAGA candidate to ascend to the highest office in the land.
It is terrible you feel so helpless and have no faith things can be better than you describe. Our situation can be better with God and good hearts. President Trump is one man who will do wverything he x an for the good of the country. Don’t think Pelosi, McConnel, Shumer, Oboma, Biden are indestructible. They are not and will face judgement.
I hope you are right.. but I refuse to believe in hopeium. I am just a realist and see how things are playing out and I am not amused.
I know how you feel. I listen to x22report almost every day to keep from going crazy. Dave is just a regular guy but he has a knack for putting all the wacko puzzle pieces together so it makes sense
don surber is also on target. every day. i pay to post but you can read him without paying.
it’s always hope in god and such.
Good news Mitt Romney said he wasn’t running for re-election this year so mitts out.
Yay! I hope a true MAGA person runs for Mitt’s senate seat and not some fake MAGA person but is actually a RINO in sheep’s clothing or a undercover DemonRat.
Given the Utah GOP handling of their caucus and the faint smell of child trafficking coming from the Utah establishment, I’m sure that they will try to install another Romney type.
What was surprising to a relative who lives in Utah was the amount of votes Haley got yesterday.
I’ve lived in Utah for 24 years. During Bush and that snake Cheney’s run, Utah had the highest presidential red vote in the country, 80%. I’ve watched that slowly diminish over the years all after Outside magazine describes Salt Lake as the best place in the country to live. It may indeed be true but that attracted every environmental enthusiast with their climate change NPR mantra and I’ve slowly seen Utah like Colorado move more purple and in CO….. blue. That’s my political analysis
robert redford!
Move-ins didn’t elect Willard. Let’s be honest. They may register GOP to push for Becky Edwards, but UT has an institutional problem that shall not be named. KSL reads like the blankin’ NYT anymore…
to surprising to me. the state gave the country mitt the mutt after all.
It would be surprising, if real. At this point we have to assume anything that seems odd about elections, is fraudulent until proven otherwise, seeing as how the burden of proof is and always was on election officials and the beneficiaries of the elections.
The man isn’t even back in office and you’re whining already?!
Preemptive whines have the hoped benefit of ensuring he won’t ever get back in office.
Not all who post are Treepers.
This sounds like hopeium. I don’t do hopeium. I want facts and reality. And what I am seeing playing out so far from the globalists, uniparty and Deep State I am not seeing how this will end well for us MAGA in the near term.
Nah.. I’m just keeping it real. I don’t want to get my hopes up and then there is a big let down by Trump. If PDJT allows the RINOS to put Thune in power now then you know it’s going to be down hill from there in terms of trying to get the MAGA agenda implemented.
Remember Schedule F – It will be interesting to see a significant percentage of gov employees out of work. Indications that hundreds of thousand of civil service employees could be transitioned to the equivalent as a political appointment. Think of thousands, or tens of thousand of Sally Yates looking for work because they defied the new policy positions of the new President.
We just have to get past the rigged election.
Trump is really something, there’s never a dull moment, there’s never been anyone like him in politics. He does not need the Squish.

This may unfortunately have the unintended effect of increasing potato’s ratings.
Hopefully there will be a link here where we can all watch and comment as well.
I’m a little wary of this.
Thinking ahead of when President Trump wins the White House again, I not sure I would not want some Democrat doing this to a President Trump SOTU.
Are you saying the Trump is a liar like Pedo Biden? Trump could be fact checked in real time and survive it. He has already been investigated, indicted, “convicted”, lied about, survived attempted impeachment twice, and gets every single word he says analyzed for falsehoods.
Biden and his corrupt administration lie all of the time.
You are making a false equivalency.
You mean like Pelosi ripping up Trump’s SOTU address on camera? Trump isn’t stooping to their disrespectful level. He is fact-checking. Or is fact-checking only okay when they do it to him?
Even Machiavelli would be impressed.
It’s been difficult along the way to recognize their “dark arts” as the mind of a true believer does not operate in that fashion.
But, with the assistance of the sunlight shone upon their dark and evil hearts they have been exposed and we now know their modus operandi.
I will be forever grateful for the presidency of Donald J. Trump, and for you, Sundance who have opened our eyes.
“In politics, NOTHING happens by accident. If it happens, you can bet it was PLANNED that way”.
Adam Schiff has been running TV Commercials in LA and San Diego non-stop saying “STEVE GARVEY VOTED FOR DONALD TRUMP TWICE…and doesn’t deny it!
I haven’t seen one commercial yet for Steve BUT Steve got over 500,000 votes and another Republican rec’d 100,000 which is pretty respectful for California! If McConnell doesn’t pull a Dr Oz on Garvey and actually gives him good support and money Garvey would have a good chance of winning!
Saying Garvey voted for Trump sounds like an ad for Garvey…LOL
May God bless you, Sundance, for taking on this leviathan.
Is there any redeeming value in any congress creature?
Don’t answer that…I know the answer.
“If MAGA has not learned these lessons by now, then nothing has been learned about the nature of opposition.”
If TRUMP has not learned these lessons by now, then nothing has been learned about the nature of opposition.
#FIFY
CfG, then Glitch mcRINO…
next thing you know, Mittens will be adding to the chorus
don’t believe any of them. they’re ALL corrupt to the core.
Trump knows this by now
Schiff replacing Mark Warner would be unpardonable.
Trump would permanently exile and go perma-nuclear any Republican that would contemplate such a move.
Also, I think Garvey actually stands a chance given Newsome and shifty Schiff.
I have very little respect for 95% of the Senate. McConnell is a lying bag-o-s**t, a traitor, and a compilation of every vile demon imaginable. So is Thune, etc etc. Montana sends their most vile.
Senate needs to be cleaned out!!
I would not want any of their endorsements. You can’t scrub that stench off!!
@Sundance -please tell me Trump reads this!!
Then… why did Trump seek his endorsement?
I don’t think Schiff will make it to the Senate.
FYLTGE….

LOL. The post-turtle played defense <b>FOR</b> the terrible, treasonous Biden policies.
Thune and Barrasso and the rest of the GOP McConnell toadies need to be removed from leadership and put in the corner. They are scum. Frankly, when McConnell kicks the bucket (likely within the same hour that Biden bites it) they should all be thrown onto his funeral pyre like Indian widows. Bon Voyage!
Ostensibly, this was done on live TV.

“Break the cycle of abuse. Learn the dark arts of how our national abusers operate. . .”
“Neither a democracy, nor a representative republic, for well over a century America has been an oligarchy, and the pity is, we all know it. It’s the dams made of fables that were planted in our childhood minds that keep us from seeing it. I now look back at the history and the horrors of the 20th century with new eyes. Try it and see if you get a clearer view of the immediate threat, as well as the ugly reality of the past.
I’m certainly not inclined to dismiss the CCP as a threat, but could it be a convenient distraction? A minor villain, perhaps, if not a boogeyman? Was it created by our oligarchs? Is it being used now to misdirect us away from the true, mortal threat standing in our faces?”

While unlikely, a spanner in the plan might be for Schiff to lose his race for Senate……
Mitch McChao is a DISGUSTING POS! I wish that Marble Mouth McConnell would just go away already. WTF isn’t he enjoying his golden years? Why isn’t he enjoying his millions of ill gotten gains before he kicks the bucket? Rest assured that Marble Mouth McConnell is just as corrupt as Joe Biden ever was; the only difference is that he isn’t as obvious about it as Biden is-as in four mansions obvious…
McConnell is as slimy a swamp rat that there has ever been, not surprising with his chameleon act.
Somebody yells “firetruck” and he raises his hand.
President Trump knows who the Old Crow is and where his real allegiance resides.
All of them need Sunlight and Bleach! Expose and Cleanse this Evil out of our Government.
Mitch signed his soul over long ago, so now he tries to save face. Pathetic move.
False praise precedes fatal steps. Flattery serves only a fool.
Sundance called this awhile back; greasing the skids for Thune. As an aside, the notion of Schiff as SSCI chair should evoke horrific images beyond Warner. Steve Garvey needs to leave him in the Anza Borrego desert.
Dox everyone that stands behind curtains pulling the levers of power. So that we shall “know” them, in the Biblical sense of course
We already did the Big Tent thingy last election, and they turned into Brutus.
Yeah, not falling for that trick again. Begone, RINO’s.
The only way the Uni-Party is ever exposed is through “Martial Law” and Military Tribunals. if DJT does in fact have the EVIDENCE as he has stated 1000 times ( “We caught Them All”) with a public TRIAL and then enforce the PENALTY for TREASON……..Then, and only THEN, can we restore our Republic. End FIAT MONEY and outlaw the FED…….Then, maybe, we rise from the disaster that is current DC.
oh my God-shifty as head of scci?
from the movie ‘Shooter’ comes this line, “you can’t kill me, I’m a US senator-correct-BAM!”
One of my all time favorite movie endings………..If only it could become reality. Their arrogance fuels the flames.
The Swamp gets drained a bit more…
Shadow workers, nothing more quote thee raven.
I believe in my heart of hearts that it was McConnell in the background urging Jeffy Sessions to cozy up with the Trump campaign in 2016. Hindsight being 20-20, that single appointment led to the lawfare attacks Trump is facing today. And it led to Trump’s utter failure in not reforming the DOJ during his first term. Keep McConnell and his minions well clear of the next Trump administration, dammit!
Actually, it was Jeff Sessions who started MAGA.
Sessions used to act as the “agent provocateur” of the Senate. He started telling us of all the dirty deeds Congress was doing behind our backs. He amassed quite a large following. I remember those days. A really large group of us were on a social media site, expressing outrage, talking about organizing to fight the corruption.
At first, we were going to endorse Scott Walker. He made a speech, a really beautiful speech, addressing all of the concerns we had about govt., and we all got really excited about him. But then he made a huge mistake. He just all but disappeared after the speech. He let all that momentum die on the vine. He was busy getting all his ducks in a row. I think he had just been unprepared for the huge response.
In the meantime, Trump came in and swooped up all that momentum all for himself. He stole the rug out from underneath Scott Walker. Walker was MAD, in all caps. We never looked back.
So, of course, Trump was always going to get the Grandfather of the MAGA movement involved. There was no question about it.
But nobody was more shocked than us that Sessions turned out to be a waffler.
“waffler” ??!!!
Sessions was/is 100% DeepState, America-hating, bushCARTEL lackey LIAR !!!
Beware the Ides of any month President Trump with the wink wink support of this swamper.
Trump’s AG can end this Treason but will the Senate ever confirm an AG such as Paxton?
Trump should make a list of items for Glitch The Turdle to support and have him sign off on it.
It’s a trap all right. I like the old Twilight Zone episode ‘To Serve Man’ Its a cookbook!
Will McConnell EVER support and aid Cruz in his re-election campaign??
its called CYA, all to protect Mitch and no one else.
Hope dear President Trump is listening… hope President Trump has someone true MAGA in charge of his staff.
God gives us trials and tribulation to deepen our self understanding and worldview to
draw us under HIS wing and give us such people like Sundance to bring light.
Blessings
“Schumer/McConnell planning for Thune’s installation with an agreement to acquiesce appointment of Schiff to replace SSCI Chair Mark Warner as a background move to impede the threat that a successful Trump reelection represents.”
If we are just going to have 4 more years of “Russia, Russia evidence in my back pocket” from the likes of Schiff with acquiescence of the Turdle’s bobbleheads, then what’s going to be accomplished ?
