In an effort to keep the Daily Open Thread a little more open topic we are going to start a new daily thread for “Presidential Politics”. Please use this thread to post anything relating to the Donald Trump Administration and Presidency.
This thread will refresh daily and appear above the Open Discussion Thread.

Uh-oh…. Rand Paul just got exposed…no longer the “saint” many had made him out to be….
Oh noes, not St. Paul! Heh, heh, heh – the fun is only starting.
🤣 🤣 🤣 🤣
Scroll down, GB. I’ve left the link to the list.
Mostly Dems, but also a healthy handful of Rs.
👍 👍 Thank you Ma’am! 😉
Maybe the fun is starting…
I can find no verification from other websites, only references to “Jake.”
Another claim circulating is a list of RINO and DEM senators on the take from Maduro.
Again, not even Conservative websites have anything about this.
So, stay skeptical! Maybe it is true….maybe not!
We shall see what happens!
The List…
https://1hebrutaltruth1.substack.com/p/the-venezuela-list-claim-whats-being
On the Cuba thread, page 2, Gipper has left Elizabeth Nickson ‘s Substack related to the former intelligence head of the Maduro regime who compiled the list.
I wanted to leave the link. Unfortunately I am not a subscriber so could not.
Very much worth trawling through to find his post.
Is mtg on that list?
Only mentions Rand Paul.
“A high ranking Venezuela source says”
“ sources say”
oh…okay…sure…no problem….
All from —Christina Aguayo News 🤔
I saw reports yesterday all over Twitter
that said 1200 Tons of silver were sent to
Russia and China from Venezuela in December.
Some of those reports were from some really
big and well known accounts.
I couldn’t verify—- so I didn’t post here.
Tried to verify again today…then saw where report
had been called out as—fake.
The big twitter accounts..😄their original reports…had disappeared today.
I saw where Alex Jones was posting pictures which were…misleading 🥴
Same with Nick Shirley🥴
Fog of War….
Treeper – 48 hour rule…
The “1200 tons of silver” reports were debunked shortly after they were posted. You just have to be following the right accounts. And *that* is an ongoing process of elimination and discovery….
To be sure, Rand Paul is far from being alone in this. No doubt other Congress critters will be exposed in the near future…..but how public that will be remains to be seen.
I watched a video by “That Asian Guy” yesterday that misrepresented the exfiltration of silver as just having happened, but it seems like that happened a year ago, if it actually happened.
I don’t watch “That Asian Guy” or any of the similar influx of Asian YouTube channels that landed in the precious metals space in the last month – the 10 percent or so that is BS makes the other 90 percent not worth the time spent.
That A.I. account appears to be a conglomeration of facts and opinions with the lines being blurred between the two. Several accounts that I follow are more or less “dissecting” each of Asian Guy’s posts, identifying what’s verifiable via other sources vs. what isn’t…. I won’t post his stuff here since it’s a mixture.
That Asian guy made a big splash out of nothingness.
Would love to know who owns/runs that AI ditty.
Someone who wants to exert manipulative influence on the precious metals markets, that’s for sure. I’d almost be tempted to say it’s the Chinese but they closed their markets to outsiders, and the London Globalist Banksters are equally nefarious players.
You go ahead and keep reading three day old news.
Meanwhile, here’s another “unsubstantiated claim” for ya.
Unsubstantiated anonymous claim. Not a fan of Rand Paul these days; but I hope this is not true.
They’re all unsubstantiated claims… Until they are substantiated.
Oh my, I wish I could say I am surprised, but I’m not because my trust level for any politician is at an all time low.
🎯 🎯 I think most of us are right there with you, AZPatriot. Our political class have seriously failed us in multiple ways.
Looks like he went against everything his dad taught him.
Yes. If it bears out scrutiny, it may be the tip of an iceberg of evidence of congressional corruption. There’s seemingly no way he’s alone in this. Too much money involved.
So for a completely different “take” on PDJT’s actions against Maduro (Venzuela…).
Watch this very refreshing report by Susan Kokinda at Promethean Action…..
1m29s mtg already comes up…
Just saw that the Board of PBS voted for dissolution; one more globalist entity funded by the American taxpayer gone.
Actually, it was the Corporation for Public Broadcasting (CPB) that voted to dissolve, not PBS. PBS did receive some funding through CPB though.
You’re right! Sorry.
YIPPEE!!!
Can’t wait for PBS to crash and burn, too!
Totally agree, Raven.

She now has a bulls eye on her back?
.and babies everywhere, born and unborn are celebrating!!!!!
For all the, ’When the Democrats take the house…posters, prognosticators and pundits, it seems that some who are actually involved in the process aren’t so sure.
https://www.axios.com/2026/01/04/maduro-venezuela-democrats-trump-congress
Don’t forget, these comments highlight the core problem for the Democrats, their base increasingly dictates policy that is electoral suicide (witness 2024) and has only ‘won’ by fortifying election results or buying voters. Both options will probably be far less available this time around, especially the financing by fraud option.
This doesn’t include the huge boost Trump will have with the Venezuelan ex-pat community, and if Cuba or Iran falls, as a result, then it’s game over.
A thought just came into my mostly vacuous skull.
Even though the bin Laden raid went almost picture Hollywood, I seem to remember they lost a chopper.
7 hour old new Nick Shirley video.
If Ali Kamenei makes it to the Tehran Airport, before the Screaming Eagles arrive, to escape to Moscow, it has been reported he owns assets and cash worth above $90 billion, and he will be very comfortable, where he is going.
That money is needed to feed and slake the thirst of the Iranian People. It seems clear, the currency collapsed, because the Ayatollah paid all the money to himself. These assets belong to the people of Iran, and they should not be enjoyed by Khamenei in exile.
We need bankers and cyber experts to find and secure these funds, without delay. Let these sums be available to the King to use in the transition to feed the people.
Seems like just yesterday some fake news sources were saying that Iran was just months away from “rebuilding” their nuclear facilities after our bombs “didn’t fully destroy them”. LOL
Some may find the interesting. Hopefully, someone at the DOJ.

It seems that second wave of butt kicking may be necessary.

There was some sh00ting going on in Caracas about an hour ago, also drone activity reported.
There are a few videos floating around.
Mainstream media has dismissed the activity as a ‘misunderstanding’ and shut down coverage.
Some coverage on Twatter.
The main rumor UNVERIFIED is that Diosdado Cabello Rondon is leading a coup against Delcy Rodríguez.
Who is Cabello?
He has been accused of corruption, nepotism, and leading the “Cartel of the Suns,” a network involving high-level officials in drug trafficking.
The U.S. Department of State offered a $10 million reward in 2020 for information leading to his arrest on charges of drug trafficking and narco-terrorism.
He has been sanctioned by the U.S. Office of Foreign Assets Control (OFAC), the European Union,
Switzerland, and Panama for alleged involvement in money laundering, corruption, and drug trafficking.
^^^all that came from a name search^^^
Nothing has been verified.
Sounds plausible.
Anyone heard anything?

This guy covered the story for about 40 minutes and abruptly shut it down.
He says he has videos on his Twatter But I haven’t seen them.
Nick Sorter has posts on his Twatter and one of his replies told the Cabello rumor.

This channel has about 10 videos.
You can get the text language translated if you cannot read Spanish.

Will look for more.

I’m currently on Gateway Pundit. Not a lot of solid info. Very concerning
Oops. They shot down their own drones.
That’s what they said.
But, why cut off the coverage so fast?
Nothing to see here, folks; move along.
On one of the Spanish channels, the guy with the ten videos, I read through some of the comments and people in Venezuela are talking about that Cabello guy taking over.
Time will tell.

He is a hoot!

A commenter here earlier today was talking about how Conservative New Hampshire is. And I agree – however, suspect that voting patterns may be changing there. Here is the latest. Republicans are getting clobbered:
New: US Senate New Hampshire

Is that the same Scott Brown that was a Senator in Massachusetts?
Refresh my memory if you would kindly.
Are you the same poster that posts a lots of poll results saying everyone loves democrats?

Welcome back Dan. 👍👍
Something we all feared…
Dan is not a quitter.
Godspeed, patriot 🙏🏻 Kick this cancer to the back of beyond.
Interesting report and videos on Charlie Kirk murder… Shows shooting from a different perspective… Small video on loop shows what appears to be a shooter and the alleged shooters strange reaction before and after making the shot…

“The OECD announced 147 countries agreed to adopt a “side-by-side system” that creates safe harbors to Pillar 2 rules, which aim to impose a 15% global minimum tax on multinational companies.
Without an agreement, the Trump administration’s opposition to the global tax deal favored by former President Joe Biden would have left multinational companies’ 2026 tax strategies in limbo.”

“Former treasury secretary Janet Yellen was a key driver of the 2021 OECD global tax deal and made the corporate minimum tax one of her top priorities. The plan was widely panned by congressional Republicans at the time, who said it would make the US less competitive in a global economy.”

Given the sources, I wouldn’t put to too much into this.
BUT, I will LMAO if it turns out that this was a hostage rescue mission, and President Trump rickrolled everyone.
Fourth time I found similar from sketchy or “Alt” sources.
These people make me sick. Operatives all, just trying to muddy the waters.
This. When was the last time that any claim made by Patrick Byrne turned out to be true?
Iranian internet now shut down, per Goldie Ghamari live feed.
