Unfortunately, there is a toxic stew in Washington DC that too few understand. The events today transpire just as many Trump supporters begin to realize the unfortunate outcomes of nominating unserious people like Pam Bondi, Kash Patel and Dan Bongino.
President Trump reluctantly stated earlier today that he will nominate a different person as U.S. Attorney for the critically important Washington DC office, as the collective republican opposition to Ed Martin has proven to be strong.
Ed Martin was what President Trump needed; a very serious, deliberate and qualified person to confront the Deep State UniParty. Those core skillsets are why the Republicans did not support him. However, on the optimistic side, if there is ever a special counsel to be appointed, I suspect Ed Martin will be leading candidate.
WASHINGTON DC – President Donald Trump said Thursday he will withdraw the nomination of Ed Martin, a longtime champion of Jan. 6 defendants, to be the District of Columbia’s top federal prosecutor.
“We have somebody else that will be great,” Trump told reporters. “We have somebody else who we’ll be announcing.”
Support for Martin among Capitol Hill Republicans has faltered in recent days, particularly after Sen. Thom Tillis (R-N.C.) signaled his opposition to the nominee over his past comments downplaying the Jan. 6 attack on the Capitol.
Martin has spent the last few years advocating for Jan. 6 defendants and helping organize their legal defense. He has embraced conspiracy theories about the attack and the results of the 2020 election and he has spoken favorably about some of the most egregious perpetrators of the riot.
Tillis, who sits on the Senate Judiciary Committee, presented a major obstacle to Martin’s ability to be confirmed – both within the panel and on the chamber floor, given the GOP’s razor-thin majority and likely universal opposition among Democrats.
Trump suggested he would place Martin somewhere else in his administration. The Department of Justice did not immediately return a request for comment. (link)
Let us not pretend…
In basic truth, from the position of Washington DC politicians, both the democrats and republicans lost in the 2024 election. Washington DC well understands, candidate Donald Trump defeated the republican, Ron DeSantis, and candidate Trump defeated the democrat candidate, Kamala Harris. Forget the labels, that is what happened.
As the second term of President Trump continues, the republican party will show increasingly obvious opposition to all of the policies and results coming from the MAGA agenda that Trump represents.
In the background of our political dynamic the Republican apparatus is already having conversations about what comes next, after the abhorred MAGA infection identified as President Trump is removed.
When we ask ourselves why President Trump’s agenda hasn’t been codified by congressional action, the honest answer is, because the MAGA policy is not supported by the Republicans in congress. Nothing about this dynamic is likely to change. The professional republican politicians are simply wearing masks right now, and there are certain times when those masks slip.
Into this reality comes a tribe of shallow intellect and emotional thinking amid the Trump support base. One of the reasons why Waltz, Bondi, Patel, Bongino and a few others were predictably going to fail relates not to their motive (although in Waltz case – ideology), but rather their lack of competence. Several administration nominees, now officials, were widely known and supported for their high-profile visibility in prior years; unfortunately, their competence was never regarded as important.
As I said from the outset, the economic side is solid and there is much winning to celebrate today and into the future. However, on the national security side, not so much. Main Justice, FBI and Intel nominees were/are weak; some only optically valid and unserious. We are watching the frustrating outcomes in real time.
♦ Washington DC, opposition to President Trump is economically and financially based. This is not about ideology; this is about money. There are trillions at stake. K-Street exists for a reason, to bribe and influence the politicians. President Trump does not benefit K-Street, he is focused on Main Street and that is the core of the opposition.
Democrats want power, Republicans want money. Democrats use money to get power; Republicans use power to get money. The policy of democrats determines the donor funding. The donor funding for Republicans determines the policy. This is how the two wings of the UniParty operate.
The weapons of the opposition are deployed through Lawfare, that’s where the NatSec and Intel silos come into play.
Please understand this nuanced yet clear dynamic. The opposition is based on financial outcomes against their interests, the weapons used by the opposition come from the National Security system (silos).
The economic and foreign policy advancement is solid; however, the Lawfare/IC defense shields are weak because a mix of superfluous, professionally lazy, unserious, and incompetent people are standing atop the wall.
Actually, Sundance, many of us knew the moment those names were announced that it was a farce and wondered what in the world Trump was thinking to put these people in charge of anything, let alone the serious positions they now occupy.
Again, if he can not get Martin confirmed, what do you suggest he SHOULD have done?
Continue nominating people like Martin and Gaetz, who the Repubs will block?
And therein lies the problem… if you can’t get Ed Martin past the RINO gatekeepers, can you name an action oriented disruptor to replace Bondi that would have a snowball’s chance at confirmation?
that creature doesn’t exist
The RINOs would all vote for Merrick Garland again. That is how bad it is right now.
Rotate someone in that they’ll hate even more. Someone that’s already been confirmed.
Do many people don’t know how our government works or the current political realities. Presidents are not omnipotent.
That said I will never vote for a Democrat, but also won’t call myself a Republican because the party is so screwed up. More traitors than constitution loving patriots
Yes. Rotate them in for their temporary appointments for 4 years.
Screw the UniParty OligarchWhores. It’s up to us to primary them out starting with Tillis. Don Brown is his primary opponent. I greased his campaign yesterday & I’ll do that a few more times.
Like I said above, that’s an insult to ladies-of-the-evening!!!
Pirro and THEN MATT GATES, then Ed Martin Again !
Rinse and Rotate the CAROUSEL !
Exactly
He could have made Martin interim to start the ball rolling
I was amazed that so many of his cabinet picks were confirmed. I predicted that if they did manage to get confirmed, they were either known somehow to not be serious threats to the incredibly corrupt status quo OR were vulnerable to being obstructed.
BTW, the only nominees who can be trusted for positions where they can make actual, significant medical reforms are MDs who suffered serious professional damage during the pandemic as that is an indication that they actually publicly fought the official narratives. ANYONE ELSE is a poser.
They mostly got in because trump had to cut deals to let people like Waltz and Merav Ceren into his admin.
It’s like he lost the capability of critical thinking. He started with these hare brained picks, took 3 out of the House, two out of the senate. He evidently had no inkling how he was reducing their majorities. He refuses to fight for the great MAGA fighter Ed Martin, and now might put another FOX shill in position that Ed Martin should have. Trump sounds weak and resigned, he was never like that in first term. What is wrong with him?? He has bullet holes in his feet, and can’t understand why his polls are sinking. He starts his first term with sinking stock market and 401K’s. He refuses to believe the truth about his own actions. I suspect Susan Wiles is hindering him, she worked for Jeb Bush the first time. How did that campaign go?
I was very concerned at the time about the taking anyone out of Congress, but no one asks me!
Are you the real Sidney Powell?
Without real, meaningful election reforms- the people cannot elect candidates who will represent their interests. People more willing to pass Trump’s AF agenda. Without reforms, we can’t effectively hold the RINOS & traitors accountable by ousting their butts.
I pray Trump investigates the ‘24 Election, gathers the evidence, so we can hopefully force states to fix things or setup some possible way to challenge it via the courts. We won’t survive much longer with an election process where the people who abuse us, retain the power to re-elect themselves.
yep the weak people installed got in … notice THAT … Patel was a big lot of smoke against him but he was always gonna get in
They are WEAK WEAK and incompetent!!!!
the strong would not have gotten thru
Start with Tillis. He has a primary opponent named Don Brown. I donated to his campaign yesterday.
My apologies. I meant that for Maquis.
Bongino is a joke.
Its all ego, and mouth. Anything for an audience, or to sell a book, but when real work needs done, they go missing.
I can hate the GOP no more and no less than I do right now this moment.
Greedy Old Possums gotta go!!
YUP!
Start with Tillis. He has a primary opponent named Don Brown. I donated to his campaign yesterday.
Once you see the GOP for what they really are, the anger does not subside.
LOL, if that was the case, I’d have been angry since the mid-90s!
When surrounded by an electorate where nearly 50% are easily propagandized, willfully useful idiots as shown in the 2024 election, it’s very unhealthy to remain angry about something one can do nothing about.
Winston, my dear friend, I have been angry since the mid-80’s…if I am trying to one-up you my guess is it will work with some people and not with others! 😁
I was angry since Bush 2… they gave Reagan what he asked for, a Republican Congress, and we had a Republican President… what did we get? Endless stupid war and a prescription drug boondoggle to boot, spending out of control, before 9/11 even happened. UniParty Bush, ugh. So betrayed it was, I spent over a decade away … until Trump.
They are cold, evil worthless men, that want to protect their pig trough. They love that Elon has stepped down. GOP house is off today for a four day wknd.
They rank alongside the Dems IMO
Gateway Pundit says potential replacement is Judge Janine Pirro 😂
President Trump knows her. She’s a New Yorker. Is that enough?
shes not a traitor
Please let this happen. MAGA Amen.
Haha this is serious business Not the Peoples Court cmon Davis.
I’d love to see Davis there….if not in Bondi’s job…….
The AG from Missouri is who we need.
She is not on Peoples Court. She has been a JUDGE in real life! Before that she was a prosecutor. Very well qualified.
Pirro is the “interim” US Attorney for DC. She hasn’t practiced criminal law in 20 years. Thom Tillis is a confirmed RINO who has a voting score of 49%, or an “F” rating, from Conservative Review. Hope he is primaried.
PLease NO. I like her but she hasn’t practiced law in decades. She has never practiced in federal court that i’ve heard of. This would be a disaster.
How about Sydney Powell? That might put the fear of God in those people!!!
I’m on the fence with this one.
IIRC she has only state law experience. Trump needs someone with federal prosecutorial experience.
I’m tired of Fox News personalities in these positions! Who’s next Jesse Waters? Why didn’t someone in the administration publicly tell Tillis he’s finished. I’m so mad I’m not voting for any republican!
Why didn’t someone in the administration publicly tell Tillis he’s finished?
Because the reality is that his votes will continue to be critical for POTUS’ agenda. So, torch him now? No.
Hopefully there is an effective primary opponent.
He must be punished. His lies about J6 need to be slapped down.
Elon threatened to fund primary opponents… ok let’s go
Yes, like wonderwoman Blondi! /s
she would be a great pick though. I can see her in the job!!!
OMG!!!! That would be so EPIC!!!! Make it so…..
good grief
Hi Sidney!! Have you spoken to President Trump?????
Hope you are well <3
🤦♀️ 🤦♀️ I know….sigh.
On the same page as you are on!
😖
Its become painfully evident that Trumps people picking algorithm weights HEAVILY for “curb appeal” …… people that can manage to look good on camera while also being CONVINCING or maybe more accurately….. PERSUASIVE …..loyalty and fealty are also weighty necessarily….
Till is is such a disappointment! He even supports green new deal, J 6 fedsurrection over hurricane victims in North Carolina. He is bought and sold
NC should get him out of there. Tarheels, are you listening
The CIA says Dominion voting machines are here to stay. As long as Thom Tillis does what we say he can stay too.
Dominion Voting Machines IS CIA, in my opinion.
Dominion was a Canadian Crown Corporation headquartered in Toronto, Canada in 2020.
Put a tariff on them.
Yes, see @DonBrownforNC and support him!
He has committed political suicide. No need to get him out. He will never get re-elected after this
Tillis has always been a RINO! He never saw a spending bill that he did not vote in favor. He was just censured again in the NC District 11 GOP convention. It appears that he will have opposition in the Republican Primary next spring. Within the party there are rumors of potential poor health also. We hope President Trump does not endorse him again and that we get a really good name recognition candidate to Run in the Primary. Closing primaries in NC would seal the deal as it is now independents (Changed Democrats) can choose to vote in Republican Primaries. We also STILL have the Machine Ballot counters that gave Tillis more votes than Trump in the 2020 election fiasco.
Lara Trump is polling way, way ahead of Tillis among North Carolina republican primary voters.
Lara would be great but within the party organization so far it seems that she has taken steps not to become a candidate.
What the heck is wrong with you “Open Primary” states? You really like Dems choosing Repub candidates? FIX THAT!
Voted for Merrick GARLAND! But NOT Ed MARTIN! Enough said! Time to go, Tommy
Looks like replacements are already being offered up.
I want Dan Bishop. Real conservative. Working at OMB
I hope Ores Trump reads the Treehouse and takes my advice that revenge is a dish best served cold.
So is there any real hope?
I remain hopeful.
Keep praying. Only with God can the deep state be defeated. If it is God’s will, it will happen.
President Trump’s win and that he survived assassination attempts is only by God’s grace.
Our job , keep fighting.
Exactly.
By exposing all of Satans machinations and minions for all to see, and advancing HIS warriors to thwart and combat them, GOD is making it SO clear, so that only the most stubborn, willfully blind can not see.
WILL our Nation, AS A NATION, bow on bended knee, and ask for his forgiveness, and salvation?
With God, all things are possible,…without him, nothing is.
Exactly!
“Pray, hope, and don’t worry!” St. Padre Pio
The ONLY way we get our country back is turning back to God and His Laws—and unceasing prayer and sacrifice!!!
Bondi, Kash, Bongino aren’t incompetent they’re part of the establishment.
My red flag with Bongino was when he supported the impeachment coup of Texas AG Ken Paxton.
The uniparty favorite is Pam Bondi and Patel acts like a 12 year old.
Ken Paxton would have been an excellent AG for Trump, but the RINO’s would have NEVER supported him.
“My red flag with Bongino was when he supported the impeachment coup of Texas AG Ken Paxton.”
WOW…I did not know that, Dee.
I would need to see something that backed that up. I have followed him quite a bit and would have sworn he was pro Paxton. Willing to admit if I am wrong just scratching my head a bit
Bongino is a Good fella.
Ken Paxton is going to primary cornyn. I hate to lose him as AG here but he will be terrific in the Senate.
Exactly. People blame Trump for poor selections in Trump 1.0 but Mitch does all the approving. So what can you do? Simply expose them, use bully pulpit, force their votes on the record… then PRIMARY. Oh, and repeal the 17th amendment too.
I suppose any hope in fixing America is lost. Come 2028 any gain will be lost and it will be back to business as usual. Only worse, i feel sad.
I feel sad as well. Watching DJT surrender this with zero fight has been very disheartening. He also seems to be taking all the lawfare without a fight either. Probably an unpopular opinion but lately I have really seen very little of the DJT with his fight on. I don’t hear him asking Congress why they don’t ever work? why they haven’t codified ANYTHING. I just am very sad too. And disappointed. Again, I know this won’t be a popular opinion….
My hopes are diminishing also.
Michelle speaks truth , who cares if it’s popular or not . Never alter what you think or what you want to say based on how you feel others might take it , be real .
All of those folks who supported Kash, Pam, John Radcliff… I told ya so. How do you like them apples? SMH. No Ed Martin means that 2025 and 2026 are the last time the MAGA agenda will ever be alive.
The GOPe is a wild disappointment, even though we already knew it. We saw how fast they ran Matt Gaetz out of town.
As they have ever been.
https://thefederalist.com/2025/05/08/what-is-the-point-of-having-a-gop-congress/
So….same GOP, same scuppering, same undermining, same traitors.
Sometimes when we are denied something we wish for, the answer from the Almighty is not “No”…
It is simply because something better is in the offing.
And this is what I hope for Mr Martin.
That President Trimp in his ” Que Cera” answer when asked what he thought about the nomination being sabotaged by the usual suspects has already decided to place Mr Martin elsewhere. A place where perhaps repugnant, pontificating cowards Thom Tillis, Cornyn, Collins, no doubt McConnell et al will soon wish they’d approved this qualified man for the postion they gave him the thumbs down for.
May it be so.
Trump was very subdued in his response to Tillis derailing Ed Martin. I think you’re right, Trump had already found a more fitting position for Ed.
And instead of fiery words the reporters no doubt were expecting/hoped for, he answered with a metaphorical “Meh”…
That must have disappointed them.
If they shared even a single journalistic brain cell they should have been thinking, ” Oh yes? I wonder what he’s up to…”
As we probably all were. I know I was.
As President Trump famously says, “Let’s see what happens.”
Betsy I really respect you and have seen your thoughtful responses here at the TreeHouse. I am so very hopeful you are right…but everytime I go down that “5D chess” or Trump is going to pull something out of his hat, it never happens. I have to stop with the hopium. I truly hope you are right and Trump does something with Martin….
Me, too, Michele…
Which is I would never use it, sis.
Ever!!!
I like to call it anticipation and forward thinking.
Absolutely necessary as tools for a President who knows through experience he is s swimming against a tide of smiling RINOS to his face…an Brutuses with their knives out behind his back.
I hope I’m right, too.
Mr Martin is too valuable to lose.
I just pray he doesn’t put him under Bondi…special prosecutor would be brilliant…I am going to pray and pray and pray….
Wouldn’t it be perfect????
Agree 👍🏻
I hope Trump see’s your post .
🙏
Yes, when they stole the 2020 election, and then systematically shut down every legitimate attempt we made to correct it, many said “Its over”, and yet in hindsight (the 1st thing you SEE, when you jerk yer head outa yer *ss!) we can see it was the best possible outcome, for them to install Joe for 4 years.
A good example, dutch.
The portents for a successful confirmation were not good and telegraphed well in advance. Pesident Trump is rarely blindsided I suspect. The wretched RINO subversives underestimate him if they don’t believe he’s probably three to four steps ahead of the lot of them.
I would love to see them come to realize it.
Or in the British vernacular…
They should have stuck with Nurse for fear of something worse 😎
If we can’t get rid of the millions of illegals it will be proven to be a devastating outcome , Obama made sure to use the stolen election to pack the courts with over 200 hardcore anti Trump judges .
It appears even under the best case scenario we will only be able to remove approx 1 million over 4 years , not anywhere remotely close to 10 million that we would need to notice big changes .
Since Todd Blanche is running the DOJ while Blondi does media hits I strongly agree with this Trent McCotter fellow below, other than letting Blondi choose the replacement. The President could just Move Ed Martin to Emil Bove’s DOJ spot right under Blanche and move Bove to Martins spot as D.C. Attorney. Problem solved. Keep Blondi out of it.
Don’t special counsels require Congressional approval also?
The #DCCrimeCartel is NEVER going to allow someone to actually investigate their crimes.
That’s why the solution will NEVER be found in Washington D.C.
#nullify
Jack Smith did not have congressional approval yet acted like a special counsel.
Special Council requires funding. I think that’s where Congress comes into the equation.
Trumps only hope to achieve actual change is to declare Martial Law and arrest all the traitors immediately and send them to Gitmo for Military Tribunals and summary executions.
Anything short of that will simply see the Swamp return to normal after Trumps term ends. That’s why they are ALL stalling. Just waiting till he’s gone, knowing that WHOEVER is next will be compromised and corrupt just like all the rest of the Snakes.
All the chess pieces are not in place for President Trump to call for Martial Law.
Here we go again! Defeated by our Republican Party who took money from some Soros NGO and owes them obedience. The people with the most money win.
There is,…”Mr. Big” who hires a hitman. And then there is the hitman.
Which do you go after?
You CAN go after the hitman, but Mr. Big will just hire another, and another.
Or, you can take down Mr. Big, and with no one to pay them, the threat of hir men is neutralised.
The RINOS in Congress are hoors, the “hit men” in my analogy.
The CCP, the WEF are the contract agents, and the Bankers are “Mr. Big”.
With what PDJT is doing with Trade and Tariffs, he is directly assaulting the CCP, the Eurowienie WEF, and the Bankers behind them.
THATS why he focused on putting top of the line people in, fir his trade/economic team, and is personally, heavily hands on involved in each of these trade deals, and is actually not THAT focused or concerned with what Blondi and Patel are doing.
If, when he leaves office, the CCP is no longer running China, and the bankers are no longer running the EU, then neither of them will be hiring members of Congress.
However, if the CCP is still running China, and the WEF Eurowienied are still running the EU, it really won’t matter how many perp walks we get, to satisfy our need for Justice.
Dutch, that’s an insult to all ladies-of-the-evening!
Why is Soros not in jail?
Or, extradited to Malaysia?
Or, extradited back to Hungary?
Patel and Bondi are terrible. its up to President Trump to fire them and replace them so we can get real justice. I will give President Trump some slack. We need to pass big beautiful bill first and get our trade deals in order. Along with deporting these illegals and securing our border. That’s what’s important now.
Uniparty GOP still have some power. We need to primary and get rid of Tillis.
Patel told Kennedy that Epstein hanged himself and left little room for argument or question. This is a silly person, he does not rise to the level of “not serious.”
The people that use their platforms to sell books rather than achieve anything useful (Bongino, Hannity, Beck, Levin, Kelly, Coulter, etc.) have shown themselves to be in it for the money and are also less than serious people. They are strong contributors to creating the appearance of opposition. They are also the people that are the first to start screaming “don’t do anything”— a mystery.
his body language YELLED I am not up to this job!!! Talk about weak with no spine!!! He just seems to do enough to keep his job. Not forward facing at all
Wow. I didn’t know that; I had no idea. Now I realize there’s no chance that we’ll get a reformed FBI.
I saw that today…we are cooked with Kash….
Here’s the deal: Figure out which NC MAGA politician is interested in primarying Tillis and support that person early and often. If Tillis wins the primary, back the socialist regardless of his/her stances. I would rather have an enemy in the Senate that I can see versus one that I can’t see because he’s allegedly standing on my side.
Does Tillis’ excuse sound odd to anyone else? Opposition because of J6 seems like pretty weak sauce to me.
His explanation was Ill thought out
If Tillis wins primary, I won’t vote communist but I just won’t vote. No more rewarding traitors
The point of voting the other way is to ensure Tillis loses. What better way to warn the Senate than boot Tillis out of office, by any means available?
If Tillis wins reelection, it’s confirmation for the GOPe to go full speed opposing MAGA. If that happens, where will Vance and Rubio land vis-a-vis 2028? Will they be tempted to moderate into something more traditionally republican instead of carrying the torch for MAGA? They stay in line now with a strong horse leading them, but what happens when they stand alone? I wonder, because Rubio is (probably) compromised by the IC, and the only info I know about Vance is what he wants me to know.
That is a poor strategy when the demoncraps want nothing more than to impeach & convict PDJT.
Asshat Republicans like Tillis gotta go! These weenies are what screws the GOP!
Is there anything to the Crowd source the Truth article that JD Rucker posted on X. Seems to nail Tillis with receipts – calls him a multiple felon and scumbag with larceny at heart from the gitgo.
https://x.com/JDRucker/status/1920343775408501198
His will be done. Make Christ preeminent in your life and all this chaos will no longer be chaos to you. You will have peace.
jus sayin.
This is true. I always say, I can roll bandages when the time comes.
Thom Tillis is a UNIPArTY Stooge and Coup Plotter.
He also sponsored legislation to make Dirty Bob Mueller unfireable. In other words, he tried to put PDT in prison.
He doesn’t want Martin in place because it would expose the Pence/Pelosi Putsch.
Psalm 97
6 The heavens declare His righteousness, and all the peoples see His glory.
7 Let all those be put to shame who serve graven images, who boast in idols. Fall prostrate before Him, all you gods.
8 Zion heard and was glad, and the daughters of Judah rejoiced [in relief] because of Your judgments, O Lord.
9 For You, Lord, are high above all the earth; You are exalted far above all gods.
10 O you who love the Lord, hate evil; He preserves the lives of His saints (the children of God), He delivers them out of the hand of the wicked.
Good is the Word of the Lord!
This is a most depressing post one can read. Harshly critical and negative characterizations of Bondi, Patel, and Bongino are biased, unfair and inaccurate.
Time will tell but posts like this don’t help, they serve no purpose but to hurt. If the goal is to deflate MAGA supporters, then articles like this will help the Democrats retake the House in 2026.
Let us not pretend: Do no harm or say hello to Speaker Jefferies.
well their actions are “deflating MAGA” .. these fools are not doing anything but blowing smoke up our arses!! They are NOT serious people. Pam Blondi had to ask for details of the operation she ran to the microphone on day before yesterday…………she did not even KNOW what it was about
Totally agree! God is working in and equipping Trump and ALL of his GREAT team to bring the big changes we need. In His time. 🙏
It takes serious people of real integrity that can’t be blackmailed before anything will change. The president of El Salvador asked his attorney general to investigate everyone in his cabinet for corruption. This may be what the U.S. needs. Someone of impeccable integrity to investigate all those in cabinet and key positions to root out those who have something to hide so they can be free from blackmail.
Oh please lol. Walz was texting and colluding with a foreign leader, Netanyahu, behind Trumps back. He should be tried for treason and in thrown in prison. What did Trump do? He nominated him as UN ambassador. Trump is strong when dealing with economics but remarkably weak and useless when dealing with the corruption of our IC.
Huh? Evidence of that?
We might be about to find out what connection Pam Bondi has to the Epstein situation…….
You pretty much have to handle it as a Clinton would, opposition meets with accident, other opposition falls in line. Change my mind.
Since PDJT could not get Martin confirmed, what makes anyone think he could get “serious people” confirmed for A.G, or FBI Director?
At this point, we have gone about as far as we can go, with tbe standard electoral and legal processes.
We need a massive scandal, that exposes most every member of Senate and House, of such aggregious transgressions that no defence is possible, and resignations are mandatory.
Remember Ratcliff–>Grenell–>Ratcliff?
https://abcnews.go.com/amp/US/trump-eying-fox-news-host-jeanine-pirro-top/story?id=121604820
Not saying he would, but today it’ll be easier for them than tomorrow, just like China, they are only gonna be going uphill from here, so let ’em twist
Kompromat is the coin of that dark realm.
I’d like to see PDJT spend some of that.
I think the Sexual HIV Cover-up Fund would be a good starting place. Where is that in the U.S. Constitution?
Release all the records relating to congressional sexual assault/harassment slush fund? See which names pop up?
This^ is the only way. We have been playing wack a mole for years now…primary and get rid of someone, get a new one in, they become the swamp or someone else does….my dream is that a big scandal like this happens and we need to replace, maybe what? half of R’s…and we tell them that they will ONLY be elected if they support TERM LIMITS…and that is the VERY first thing they vote on..this is the only answer..it stops both the bribery and blackmail that keeps them there for YEARS..the founding fathers didn’t intend for Congress to be a career job…just a small service that was done..we must have term limits…
Or better yet, repeal both the 16th and 17th amendments!!!
Trump says he’ll find a place for Martin at DOJ.
Investigating political corruption might be good. Or head of that “counterintelligence” unit that Obama and Holder weaponized.
Being a while since I wrote it so why not now. Congress is the reason we have such a terrible government. If we had a strong congress, America would be sitting on top of the universe but no. Thanks to farce elections, the same old fakes get another round of money. Even the intelligence community could be brought to term along with these over reaching judges but, alas. Congress is a scheming bowl of dune.
Yes
BWAAAAAAAHAHAHAHAHA!!!
Who knows….it might be dude gets a rerun, Grenell/Ratcliff style!!!

Blunt, Burr, Romney, and Shelby are no longer in the Senate. Seats now held by Schmitt, Budd, Curtis, and Britt. I’m sure there are more.
Granted, the current flavor of “toxic stew” has existed since 1988, but that list needs updated.
Personally, I find Tillis’s excuse for opposing Martin to be despicable! He opposes him because he provided legal counsel (effectively!) to J6ers. So, is Tillis saying that those people were not entitled to competent counsel to fight the bogus charges against them? He even said that were he nominated for another district US Attorney position, he would support him. So, it really is just because he provided counsel to those people.
A United States Senator is OPPOSED to a constitutional right afforded those accused of a crime!!! He then does the Democrat thing by “cancelling” an excellent candidate for the DC position because of that.
Think about that….
I am very surprised that President Trump didn’t fight a little harder for this nomination.
>> …didn’t fight a little harder for this nomination.
Well, there should be plenty of time to make a lesson about this before the Nov 3, 2026 election. May this be a lesson for not only Thom Tillis but also for similar RINOs.
Trump will support Tillis for reelection.
Sundance. I think you are one of the best at peaking under the skirt of DC to see that “all is not as it appears”.
With that said, don’t you think you’re being a bit harsh on Kash and Bongino? I knew Bondi was a mistake from the start. In large part due to your reporting. If there is an issue, it probable starts and ends with her. Think about where we’d be as a nation right now if not for Kash? Without Kash getting pulled in to investigate the investigators during the Russia Hoax. Trump is likely behind bars. The media would have continued to beat the drum and the GOP would have eventually gone the same route they did with Nixon. Dan, for that matter is a very serious man. He’s a man of action and exercising his agency. He’s certainly not an opportunist. You don’t walk away from an extraordinarily successful livestreming and podcasting business if you don’t plan to act. We also saw what happened when Clinesmith was prosecuted and had a DC Jury. The Democrat media Complex is going to hammer the weaponization theme the second they indict a deepstater or elected Democrat. They know whatever cases they bring have to be airtight and bring convictions in DC if we are ever going to get past all the lawfare. The left must feel the mutually assured destruction and if they keep getting off, they will continue to escalate. Sure, they have tons of circumstantial evidence. Which is certainly still evidence, but they need evidence that irrefutably ties to their intention to commit the crimes we all know they committed. That is going to take a little time. If by late summer there are no indictments and I’m right. Dan and Kash should resign in protest.
I am an idiot and will admit that. I believe that Kash/Dan are going to do something soon and I am willing to wait. I will be horribly disappointed, I know. But my heart is telling my mind….wait.
Please remember, both Kash and Dan report to Bondi. They have been put on a tight leash in my opinion.
Until President Trump realizes that his pit bulls for justice (Kash and Dan) are being held back in their pursuit of justice by his unfortunate pick for AG, Bondi, nothing he really wants and needs will be accomplished.
I would not be surprised at all if Bondi was put forward by Lindsey Graham. I could be wrong, but I do suspect it.
Anyway, that is my opinion and everyone has one.
Trump is hands on – he knows
TY. So wise. Except for AG Bondi. She’s got the toughest job which is, in my opinion. nailing the corrupt IC. But Trump knows that better than ANYONE and HE is setting her priorities and timeline. He has his reasons for this.
I don’t know how you could think this Constance when all the evidence points to the exact opposite .
Trial venue must be moved out of DC if a fair and just judge & jury are to be had.
Habeaus Corpus, Arrest Congress. Release the dirt, time to stop Effing around
Call out Johnson and Thune. Get one of them to go into recess, and force congress into recess. Do recess appointments. Thune could also replace Tillis in the committee.
they don’t have the spine to play hardball, simps and wimps
So the gloomy folks see the DOJ/FBI glass as half-empty and we cockeyed optimists prefer to see it as half-full…which is really just semantics right?
What isn’t semantics is that a little over half a year ago that glass was bone-dry, ‘effing empty, after 4 years of America’s occupation by a hostile power…namely the Democrat party and that walking dead octogenarian with his drug-addled son!
Yep, Pam Bondi primps in front of Fox News instead of a mirror and Kash, I had no opinion about other than Devon Nunes who seems to think he walks on water and Sundance who thinks he’s out of his depth. Yet vapid and unserious as the two of them may be, we no longer have an Attorney General and FBI Director actively trying to assassinate our 45th President…
…which leads me to a better understanding of why our 47th President would see those two as a marked improvement!
Trump got a mandate for a reason and it certainly wasn’t to experience a temporary improvement it was about saving this country and holding the people who tried to assassinate him and who committed outright treason accountable . That’s the ONLY way America can be saved , not by playing nice and accepting a temporary improvement .
So you’re issue is with President Trump because he’s that one who picked Bondi and Patel.
It seems to me that Trump has more motivation than anyone to hold the people who tried to assassinate him accountable, so why would he select people who he thought weren’t up to the task?
As Trump is fond of saying, “We’ll see what happens!”
Only one explanation.
Thom Ti-i-i-i-lis is crooked.
Or as his namesake once sang, Tillis gives “Commercial Affection.”
Time to get a DOJ probe of Tillis started in North Carolina. That’ll make him stutter like his namesake.
Trump’s people should bust that product of inbreeding so hard that he starts squealing like a pig.
See this JD Rucker post on X – Crooked Thom has some explaining to do

👆🏼👆🏼Thank you Fragemail
The seemingly “disrespect” towards Bondi, Patel, and Bongino on this site confounds me. I’d like to hear/read the specific reasons, including examples, for each of the three mentioned. I do LIKE and agree with this website re 95+% of its posts. This post , and a few similar/related one’s in the past, are curious to me.
Former Naval Flight Officer.
Go back and read just some of what has been posted here about them, not to mention the just as extensive information Sundance as provided.
SD has a library full of reasons. Since you’re new, go back and read some of his earlier post on Bondi,Patel, and Bongino. You will be better informed and enlightened…
Almost all trolls use “names” instead of nicknames or other handles that have warm feelings like the rest of us.
Why is that? Asking for a friend…
Let’s see Tillis spit on Judge Jeanine. MAGA only.
Anyone who has watched The Five on Fox News can see that Pirro is an average talent.
She’s loud, repetitive and combative with the token D who sits to her left at The Five table.
As she should be. The ‘token’ D’s are insufferable and stupid…
Who’s available who’s a better pick .
Call me crazy, but I bet Trump makes Congressional term limits a centerpiece of 2026. It has an 83% approval rating.
He’ll say:
Voters spoke in 2024. Congress ignored them. Why?
Because they can run out the clock. But this time, the clock runs out on them.
Vote for the candidate supporting congressional term limits.
This entire system is screwed up.
The President should be able to appoint whoever he chooses to these positions.
The fact that these “Republicans” voted en masse in favor of Biden’s picks is enough evidence to make this point.
ALL of them are dirty in my opinion.
Trump should be playing hardball with them and letting them know that he has the evidence thanks to DOGE to put them away for a long time so choose wisely .
“unserious people” ….perfect
Let’s not pretend. President Trump is putting up non-serious folks because . . . why? After his first go ’round I’d think he’d have these folks selected long ago. He’s getting bad advice.
No doubt about it .
Surely you’ve noticed that the US Senate is filled with UniParty tyrants who use “advise & consent” as the means to control an executive they aren’t aligned with?
Why do you think they’ll vote to confirm what you consider to be serious people?
Sundance spells out the problem(s) so eloquently and down-to-earth, the solutions appear all the more apparent. I’ve always said, if top level criminals, like the terrorists in black robes we’re now experiencing, protect themselves, it’s up to WE THE PEOPLE to remove them from their positions. If Trump/DOJ puts out the call for volunteers to be deputized, I’d be at the front of the line. Deputize thousands of us, and tell us which officials are to be citizen-arrested, for working against what’s best for American citizens. I’m retired and willing to die for my country today, just like I was when in the U.S. Navy, 40 years ago.

I am tiring of the capitulation.
So, how to fix?!!
Ed Martin for next SCOTUS justice.
WHY ALWAYS THE LIBERAL POLITICO INFO/LINK???
