For 20+ years CTH has been calling for the repeal of the 17th Amendment. Today, Texas Senator John Cornyn provides example #122,755 of why that change is needed.
After meeting with Attorney General nominee Todd Blanche, the outgoing senator from Texas, one of Mitch McConnell’s key DeceptiCONS, publicly states he is blackmailing the President of the United States and demanding the DOJ present information to him about the tax filings of the Trump family.
One of the more challenging facets to awakening the general public on the scale of corruption within Washington DC is the need for people to drop party designations.
This is never truer than within the U.S. Senate where the mistaken “us -vs- them” perspective remains a pesky hurdle.
The blue team and red team are mirror images of themselves. They are not opposites, they are mirrored – a big difference.
The policy objective is the same, the business model within DC (K Street) benefits the upper chamber the most.
Now remember…. Democrats want power. Republicans want money. Democrats use money to get power, while Republicans use power to get money. The ideology of Democrats is funded by donors; while the priorities of donors determine the ideology of Republicans.
This is why Republicans shift positions so easily, and this is the essential difference between both wings of the same bird.
You often hear people wonder why the GOP doesn’t push-back against the Democrats. The reason is simple, the GOP are the right wing of the UniParty bird, the Democrats are the left wing. They are mirror images of each other.
Both clubs are attached to the body of big corrupt corporatist government.
Watch the trade front. Watch international trade, economics, banking and multinational corporation influence. That’s the ‘trillions are at stake,’ and that’s where the opposition to everything MAGA comes from.
The system of affluence and influence has been created to self-sustain regardless of party affiliation. The Senate is one club with one ideological perspective. Within that club rule #1 dominates: none of the members will ever expose another member. So, when there is corrupt activity within the Senate no-one from within the institution will expose another. This is the code of Omerta within the upper chamber. This is the way of the “my good friend” Senate, and how it operates.
Former Senate Leader Mitch McConnell had a leadership group to carry out the institutional objectives of the upper chamber as a body, they included: Senator John Thune (whip); Senator John Barrasso (conference chair); Roy Blunt (committee chair); Todd Young (NRSC chair); Jodi Ernst (conference vice-chair); and Chuck Grassley (president pro tempore). None of these senators made a move publicly without approval from Leader McConnell.
In August of 2020, before the presidential election, then Senate Whip John Thune rebuked the mail-in ballot concerns expressed by President Trump. Thune took this position because ultimately the objectives of the upper chamber were more favorably aligned if President Trump was removed.
WASHINGTON DC – […] Asked if he agreed with the president’s repeated charges that mailed-in balloting will lead to a “rigged election” and “massive voter fraud,” the Senate majority whip told reporters, “I don’t.”
“Mailed-in voting has been used in a lot of places for a long time and, honestly, we’ve got a lot of folks that, as you know, they’re investing heavily in trying … to win that war. It’s always a war too for mail-in ballots. Both sides compete, and it’s always an area where I think our side, at least in my experience, has done pretty well,” Thune answered, adding: “I think we want to assure people it’s going to work, it’s secure and if they vote that way it’s going to count.” (read more)
The rest, as they say, is history.
I prefer to say Uniparty Republicans and Uniparty Democrats are two cheeks of the same ass.
then who’s the hole in the crevice?
Langley
The media.
Did CorWHINE just admit to a felony.
Last time I heard blackmail is ILLEGAL!
The black hole of globalist influence that controls the left and right ass cheeks.
…but…but….. you are not allowed name them….
Sore-ass “Soros” for the Rio Linda crowd that lurks at the edges and ride their bikes at the end of the driveway….
five brown eyes.
ABSOLUTELY NAILED IT!!!!
Totally stealing this. Not sorry either.
I am so glad we are finally getting rid of that piece of garbage. TX voters are MAGA. TX politicians will take a while to get rid of the old and replace with the new.
We are soooooooo happy to be rid of Corwhine.
Wish he would get out of Texas!
All I have to say is, “Yours first, Cornyn”.
Remembering immediately after his humiliating dumping by Texans who have had well enough of this Chamber of Commerce self enricher, Cornyn professed he would be taking the “high road”.
One he has never travelled nor would recognize even if he had a moral GPS which directed him there.
Which he doesn’t.
Begone, Cornyn.
We never knew you.
Cornyn trying to get one more stab at Trump before he heads home for good.
Repeal the 17th Amendment. Now.
I agree! But it would need to go through the states, as I don’t see either House or Senate voting to end their money, power, and privilege.
That’s how they operate normally – by blackmail, bribes, and payoffs, yes?
Yes. Congress in current from has no redeeming value. Enemy to all American Citizens whether all citizens understand that fact or not.
The govt’ is blackmailing v=everyone via taxes…. it’s time to get rid of the IRS and taxes in general and come up with a new plan.
The tariffs replace he income tax!
However much we despise these people, it isn’t enough!
One wonders exactly how deep and how ugly the dirt is on every single one of them in order for them to keep their silence…
I had occasion to attend a funeral, many years ago, in which a junior Senator was in attendance. They were not particularly well known at this time but I knew who they were and watched their face during the service, which was for someone they had once dated, who had ended the relationship because of their incessant desire for political power. I saw in the Senator’s eyes that day some stirring of sadness and regret that they had sold their soul and knew it.
I have never forgotten it, because whatever they have gained in this life will mean absolutely nothing in the next and I think that’s why they so desperately hold on, because they know it too, and are terrified!
Exactly VikingMom! I truly wonder how many really know that.
Amen!
And Cornyn wonders why the voters of Texas rejected him? Not that he cares about the voters, of course. As Johnny Carson used to say and I embellished, ‘May the gnats of a thousand camels nest in your armpits,’ Cornyn you has-been.
“May the fleas of a thousand mangy camels infest his scrotum, and may his arms be too short to reach!”
I know his sister. Not even she can stand him.
Cornyn Khan
TRUMP!!
Go on, git, Rinotor Cornyn.
Your kind is not wanted.
Enough of your dirty deeds!
Cornyn is the same scum trash that would have taxes our ancestors…. before the American Revolution.
He was coming after our guns in Texas!
He did not have a clue.
“Asked if he agreed with the president’s repeated charges that mailed-in balloting will lead to a “rigged election” and “massive voter fraud,” the Senate majority whip told reporters, “I don’t.”
Any elected official that says mail-in ballots are a secure and competent manner in which to run an election are knowingly benefitting from rigged elections. Any Congressperson that doesn’t vote for the SAVE America Act is benefitting from rigged elections. They are committing felonies and belong in prison.
And most certainly, those criminal politicians must be removed from office with extreme prejudice.
Based on something I read many years ago — unfortunately I don’t remember where — I have come to believe that McConnell is controlled by the CCP through his Chinese wife, Elaine Chao… and Thune is controlled by McConnell. Do the math.
I’ve read that too but nobody mentions the fact that she is Taiwanese. Born in Taipei.
I immediately thought of Sanballat in the book of Nehemiah.
Every time a new Senator is elected, I think of Satan and the temptation of Christ. Walking him around the world and promising everything… just deny Him (your voters in my analogy). 40 days in, even the the few who had promise, cave to the Uniparty payment system or fear of revelations (six days to Sunday).
Ernst, Rubio, & Cory Gardner wasted no time wh0ring themselves out!
Sanballat the Whoronite…
For 20+ years CTH has been calling for the repeal of the 17th Amendment
can never understand why Pres Trump doesn’t ever speak about this. He has nothing to lose, he’s not running again, and all he has now is the bully pulpit. Short of toppling the establishment there’s nothing trump could do that would be more helpful in reforming the corrupt US govt than repeal the 17th. Yet, he’s silent.
(actually, repealing the 19th would fix all of our problems instantly but that’s a tougher haul)
The worthless Republican Party in n.j. Constantly texts my phone asking if I am voting Republican this election. non stop harassment in a deceptive attempt to shame me to give them a donation.
I hope that they don’t read my not replying to them ,ever, as my being too busy.
The fact of the matter is that I can’t stand those phonies.
last election they ran the worst looser for governor. There was a constant barrage of adds from the Dems. Non stop. Not until the last minute did the clown chosen by the establishment run any adds.
Chatterelli actually thought he was a shoe in.
What a looser.
All the party wants is money to fund their ineffective organization so they can keep their cushy positions.
They don’t need money to tell me what I have to hear.
Their lack of effective action speak louder than words.
Talk about a sore loser. Sheesh John, just go away please; you are behaving like a two year old.
Don’t insult two-year olds! If they have reasonably good parents, they’ll grow up!!!
These guys!!!
Trump is getting asshats like this out of politics.
Al arabiya claims to have received a leaked copy of the MOU. Don’t know if this is legit
the alleged agreement below:
So is Blanche playing along or is he going to provide the receipts? SMDH
“Stuck in the middle with you”
Todd Blanche can be “Acting” AG until October 29, 2026, then:
If a nomination for the position is pending in the Senate, the acting official may continue to serve until the nomination is confirmed or rejected.
If the first nomination is rejected, withdrawn, or returned, the acting official can serve for an additional 210 days after that event.
Corrupt RINO Cornyn will be out of office on January 2, 2027, at which time “Acting” AG Blanche can tell Cornyn to go pound sand!
The problem is that the liberal establishment controls both wings. The bird itself was always foul fowl.
Soon, soon you will be irrelevant. And, that is what you fear the most.
You can simply look at any of their actions during what they all knew was a Fake Pandemic and subsequent Fake Election to know what lies just below the conservative veneer. Doesnt have to be anymore complicated then that really. You dont have to be a so called expert, a popular influencer with a million followers, a scholar of history, or a well connected Washington insider with lots of anonymous sources. You only need to trust your gut and use common sense.
This is actually a picture of Cornyn Unmasked…
Fine, then as President put him to task with his colleagues by launching investigations on them all. And let them know to thank him for it. Two can play that game.
Repeal of the 17th Amendment is crucial to saving the Republic; going hand-in-glove with cleaning out the institution of public education, providing sound candidates and proceeding with active civil management.
What a jerk. That’s all I have to say about the man.
