At a certain point it all becomes so tiresome to watch unfold.
Senators Lindsey Graham, Mike Rounds, Jeanne Shaheen, Dick Durban and Chris Coons, together with previously removed House Intelligence Committee Chair, Representative Mike Turner, use taxpayer funds for a trip to Ankara, Turkey, to poke their nose in the latest NATO gathering and coordinate with Ukraine President Volodymyr Zelenskyy. WATCH:
The pontificating Congressional Delegation (CODEL) are visiting the NATO summit on behalf of their paymasters within the military industrial complex who have advocated along with the Europeans for expanded military hardware.
Both Raytheon and Lockheed Martin are positioned to gain billions in revenue from the sale of Patriot missile systems to NATO Europe and via PURL to Ukraine. It is not coincidental that Raytheon and Lockheed Martin pay both republicans and democrats in the U.S. Senate for legislative outcomes to enhance their profits.
However, that said, the transparency of purpose is sickening. Taxpayers are in an abusive relationship with government.
.
Meanwhile Comrade proles, in semi related news….
… The CODEL’s “good friend” Senator Mitch McConnell, is still recovering in the hospital, from an unknown medical event, with an unknown outcome, as the apparatus around the business of Washington DC says, “nothing to see here, move along, move along.”
The grift will continue until the USD falls implodes.
It’s really too bad that DOGE could not be deployed on CONgress because as bad as the fraud is in entitlement programs, it’s far worse where the US Chamber of Greed meets appropriations.
Indeed the grift continues. I have to ask, WTF Mr. President? Why allow these pho-ks the use of military/government aircraft for these bullsiht visits? Put your Commander in Chief hat on and say no, no more aircraft for Congress or Senate pukes. Go ride coach like the rest of us. Oh, you’ll pass the SAVE Act? Okay, you can have the free rides. Bottomline: No more business as usual. Use every tool in the tool box to gain leverage.
Even if it means hitting them over the head with a framing hammer, metaphorically speaking of course.
I’m fine with literally
just sayin’
🎯
🤣🤣🤣🤣
Unfortunately, Spr PollyPockets oks, not Potus
He may okay the trip but he doesn’t own the aircraft. DOW does. DOWS does the maintenance on them. DOW provides the pilots and ground crews. They all work for the President. So pho-k Polly Pockets, too.
There’s a 🗡️ of Damocles hanging over his head.
If he comes out hard against “the party” who will vote for “the party” in November?
If he doesn’t come out hard against “the party” who will vote for “the party” in November?
Remember Botox Nan on the bus? That was so awesome.
She’s still mad today…ruined a free family trip….
There is a fairly direct solution: repeal the Federal Income tax, and shift income taxation to the States. This removes the Fed’s ability to skim 25% from tax revenues; lets the States run their own programs and oversee their own fraud prevention; and stops the redistribution of tax revenues to NGOs as well as the States. Let the Feds get their funding as the Founders intended, from excise taxes, fees, tariffs, and levies on the States. The States can say “NO!” more effectively than We The Taxpayers can. The other benefit is the Federal government will be compelled to shrink back to its Constitutionally-mandated scope, size, and cost.
Does anything think DOGE will continue since it is out of business a few days ago? I don’t. And now that we paid salaries and bennies for nine months and the employees enjoyed their nine month paid vacay, they will be re-hired. What a deal!
Gangsters in a meeting to negotiate how the payoffs will be distributed.
Uniparty makes me sick they can just steal the money in plain sight. War and dead bodies for bribes.
That’s because we put up with their BS by continuing to re-elect these thieves every time they’re up for re-election. Look no further than Mitchie and others that stumble around the halls of congress! Doesn’t matter which side of the aisle they’re on—-they’re are thieves
Yep, but are we so sick of the UniParty grifting Repugnants that we will let the communist Demoncraps take both gavels & proceed to impeach, then imprison the greatest President of our lifetimes?
Not coincidentally that’s exactly what they’re hoping we’ll do.
They all become thieves when they get there, otherwise the others do nothing.
Thats why Tuberville is retiring and he never wants to go back
If voting mattered they wouldn’t let us do it.
Do we re-elect them?
You’re absolutely correct! We’ve proven even our elections are bogus!
Do we re-elect them?
What you see going on at that table is the motivation for a whole lot of the voter fraud schemes we all deal with.
People don’t seem to connect these dots, there is a reason they do what they do, it’s going on at that table.
The voter fraud is to make sure they all are there for life -at that table.
Mrs Sunshine, that’s an insult to gangsters!
Are they traveling on their dime, or on ours.
Inquiring minds want to know……………
“Senators Lindsey Graham, Mike Rounds, Jeanne Shaheen, Dick Durban and Chris Coons, together with previously removed House Intelligence Committee Chair, Representative Mike Turner, use taxpayer funds for a trip to Ankara, Turkey, to poke their nose in the latest NATO gathering and coordinate with Ukraine President Volodymyr Zelenskyy. “
Durban and Coons are filth. They make Uncle Joe look like a patriot. With any luck their plane will be compromised.
Coons finally has a strong Republican challenger, Colonel John Shulli, in Delaware. Let’s pray the voters wake up and vote his sad ass out.
Biden’s #1 confidant must go!
SPIT!!!
ROFLOL!!! Are you kidding me? Guess!!
Ours of course.
Hope they came home on a military transport….late , in a storm, with no peanuts….
And a non-functional toilet!!!
It’s always on our dime. Either we pay directly or it’s our money that’s been laundered through someone else’s pockets.
Why does President Trump continue to support Miss Lindsey so strongly – he/she has been a duplicitous snake since the days of being the BFF of Songbird McCain!
And has DJT made ANY comments about the mystery of Mitch? Have to say that I am surprised, and a bit disappointed, that Scott Jennings, who has been one of the only voices of sanity on CNN for a very long time, is going along with the charade that the Turtle is “just fine” and “eager” to be back at work!
Scott really likes his paycheck at CNN and wants to keep it!
Scott Jennings was a member of the Bush administration, and then a McConnell staffer. He runs a PR firm and is well polished and savvy to know exactly how to present himself as “MAGA” but he is a fraud. Why do you think he is on CNN.
And 24 people upvoted this drivel? Have you paid any attention to Scott Jennings, at all?
Scott Jennings is from Kentucky and was a campaign manager for McConnell in his 2002 re-election, and has had him on the air for interviews many times. Apparently he is close enough to McConnell to have actually spoken to him to refute the allegations that he is brain-dead. Even so, Jennings did not reveal much about just how well or unwell McConnell really is. Everyone has flaws, and believing in or being willing to give a pass to McConnell might be Jennings’ flaw.
no one “spoke” to McConnell. It was AI if they heard a voice that was purported to be McConnell. He has been “in hospital” for 3 wks. who stays in the hospital that long ? Why did his wife rush off to China?
He is DEAD, or near death and we are being gaslighted.
Democrats were “speaking” and meeting with Biden for months too and saying he was just fine, “sharp as a tack,” “the best Biden ever,” and other lies. Does anyone think the Turtle’s GOPe are any different?
Thank you for that info! I did not know about the closeness of the relationship between the two. I still think Jennings is lying but now I understand why he might feel justified in doing so!
No one is ever justified in lying!
Do you know how much pain/sorrow even a, “little, white lie” causes Our Lord and Savior?
Oh, I agree! My comment was that I could see how Jennings might view it as a “loyalty” to his old friend or maybe he was even doing it as a “favor” to Elaine Chao? Either way, it’s not okay and shame on all of them for continuing the charade!
I think they’ve reached “an agreement” by which the divine Miss Lindsey has been determined by Trump to now be “dependable.”
Not saying that videos or spreadsheets were part of the discussion, but…
“Why does President Trump continue to support Miss Lindsey so strongly…”
Because President Trump understands his limitations.
“The only rules that really matter are these: what a man can do and what a man can’t do… And me, for example, I can let you drown, but I can’t bring this ship into Tortuga all by me onesies, savvy?” –Captain Jack Sparrow
If only a missile made by either of them malfunctioned and,….. shall we say, disrupted this meeting.
This is the true definition of “bipartisanship.”
It’s sickening.
Everybody, but EVERYBODY has spoken to their “old/good friend”, Mitch McConnell…
Funny that no one has mentioned his good friend Susan Collins yet.
Oh well, probably was leading the seance and likely brought the Ouija board too.
She’s in the middle.
Lol Betsy, seems he’s talking to more now than before going in hospital.
Some sort of medical miracle…😱 please people start telling the truth, it’ll set you free.
Exactly. Strange, no?
Caller after caller and he, a cardiac patient not in good shape, has the energy to talk for 15, 20, 30 minutes to each?
Please…😎
Someone should’ve told them not to read from the necronomicon.
💯💯💯 maybe it’s the jello.
The fake news sure are working hard to push this.
He’s probality incubated… no talking for him….
Intubated?
They are incapable of telling the truth
Love these guys
You win the internet today, spit my sweet tea on my tablet…
Contacting more demons! Evil!
“Mitch are you OK?”
“Knock once for a yes, twice for no.”
Uniparty globalists. They don’t represent their people. They represent an agenda and their common benefactors.
We made such a horrible mistake with the 17th amendment… they think they are little Kings and forget about their state as soon as they get to Washington. With the help of their Big Donors they start to manage the world
Our Founders never dreamt the Senate would be THIS corrupt.
The corruption was the point of enacting the 17th Amendment.
Much like creating more opportunities for large scale grift with the Federal Reserve.
Suffice to say much of if not all the biggest pieces of legislation were designed to screw the people for more than a hundred years.
Trillions are at stake and we are in an abusive relationship with our government.
They cannot forget what they never knew.
The US Chamber of Greed owns them before they ever “win” their 1st election.
Uh yes they did, the 2A is pretty serious and it’s there for a reason.
Regarding the semi related news of Mitch’s Schrödinger’s cat status, one of the best responses to the people that said they talked with him in the hospital and everything is fine came from Rep Jack Kimble:
“I spoke to my old friend Mitch McConnell this morning, the senior Senator from Kentucky. He’s still recovering in the hospital. We talked for just shy of 45 minutes. He’s so sharp. Just like always he let me do all of the talking. He’s a great listener. After that we prayed silently for awhile and had a staring contest. Just like always, he beat me. I told him we want to see him back at work as soon as possible.”
https://x.com/RepJackKimble/status/2074570956467577094#m
Scripted, copies passed out to all and sundry.
My gosh, do these people think we can’t read or see them?
(Shame on you, Scott Jennings…)
Everybody’s but Kimball’s was scripted. His hilariously lampoons the all the scripted ones. 😂
And yes shame on Jennings.
Yes, it was rather good.
Sardonic in the extreme.
Yeah he did go all out.
And just to clarify (to everyone) I’m not laughing at Mitch’s condition but I am laughing with Rep Kimball that called BS on all the scripted responses from his colleagues in such a blistering creative way.
None of us are, dear sir.
It’s the grotesque pantomime and dirty political skullduggery that deserves all the mockery.
It takes a great intelligence to come up with that sort of ridicule. Courage, too, given how protective and censorious the Republican Party is. I’m half looking for the RINO brass to make him pay for this…or try.
My guess is the RINO brass didn’t even get the ridicule because it was so well disguised.
Enjoy your evening.
Cheers.
The political incest is satanic with these people. I wish for them all what Providence has in mind when He makes His judgement.
Rep. Jack Kimble is a fake account. Obviously a bunch of you were completely fooled.
Related to Comrade Mitch, I looked up on how his replacement is appointed and they changed the law in 2024 where it has to be by special election. Interestingly, September 8 is the 56-day cutoff where it can’t be before the regularly scheduled election.
Was Mike McCaull a stowaway on that flight?
They’re going to lean on Zelenskyy to get in on the new Mark Carney grift. Listen up Volodymyr, we know where the bodies are buried so you better play ball.
Did Osama sneak in the back door along with these backstabbing POS ?
Or did they all go to collect the contents of one of them vans filled with euros and $100 bills and bars of gold to distribute?
Aren’t these senators undermining our President and Secretary of State? Why is this allowed? Why fund this trip?
President Trump should have ordered their plane to takeoff and return to the US without them. Let them book their own flights back.
The beatings will continue until moral improves….
Atlas Shrugged is their “how to” manual. Ayn Rand used the phrase “The power of pull” to describe the wheeling, dealing and bribery the rich corporations and fat cats use to buy favorable legislation which then enables them to gain an advantage and destroy their competitors. It is beyond disgusting!
Yes but there will always be a reaction to their actions. That is what Ayn Rand was focused on in the book.
Our chosen elected representative of we the people to the world and his Sec of State were already in Turkey……
The others have no legitimate reason and very obviously devious reasons for being in Turkey.
I hold on to the hope of a declaration of emergency and implementation of martial law unleashing special teams of prosecutors to indict congress critters and bureaucrats for crimes against the country and election fraud upon the people.
Declare that all broadcast news has their FCC pulled for propaganda spread 24/7.
Invite citizen militia under control of local sheriffs to start rounding up illegals and placing in holding and processing facilities. Same for anti-fa send the armed militia after them.
Release DOGE upon the government and government contractors and the illegal support system and the illegal fraud benefit system.
(Sorry a fellow can dream can’t he?)
That “photo” is sickening me. What scum these “fake” republicans are, betraying the president and “we the people”.
Sundance, rightly calls out this betrayal. Thanks Sundance.
I’m expecting some fast tracking from the Chair of the Senate Appropriations Committee in shoveling out more money to Ukraine. For all the wrong reasons, naturally.
Lol, I said that exact thing on RedState last week & you would have thought that I had blasphemed the Lord God Almighty!
The corrupt DC elected Congress using our taxpayer fund borrowing to fund their ASININE trip to sell weapons for Lockheed Martin & more to Ukraine, using USA funds, to circle back is sleezzzy! These Congressional asses need to be publicly humiliated. What corruption goes deeper than these asses!!!!
This is why both Hillary Clinton and John Brennan said “if Trump can end the Ukraine war he deserves the Nobel Peace Prize .” Obama’s minions and their Coalition of the Willing are going to do everything in their power to keep Trump from ending the conflict.
The Nobel Committee would give the Peace Prize to Obama, again, before they would give it to President Trump.
So the Democrats went to collude with Zelenskyy? Democrats cannot make up their minds whether they want to be Socialists/Communists (Russia/China) or just criminals (Ukrainians)! The only thing they can say for sure is that the American taxpayer is footing the bill for their little vacay! This group has diversity of body but complete likeness of mindset!
“Weekend at Mitch’s” sounds like the sequel to “Weekend at Biden’s” in which both of these people somehow wield unprecedented power, despite being clinically brain dead.
CODDEL uni party doesn’t care that 2 million +++ have died in FUKraine war….its not their children or grandchildren….
M I A Mitch was forgetting his lines a decade ago. Miss Lindsey, Papa John and most likely The Wisconson Weasel were getting greased in Kyiv for decades; along with every sewer rat in Congress.. The shock is that most are surprized. What planet have they been living on? Most Americans know more about the NFL than they do about their supposedly elected representatives. This mess did not start yesterday. Expose them all. If the gun runners can bribe politicians we can bribe the media with our donations. Support the truth tellers; manage the dialogue. Just like Sundance does here. There are lots of programs on evening televsion with great content and never ending truth. Support them; join the resistance; a country is at stake..
They are there for the best interest of America…ha…haha…ha… /s
I can’t despise these swamp rats enough.
Chris Coons, the Clueless One, ga-ga over being sworn in by then-VP Joe Biden while his precious daughter is being accosted by the same.
get rid of the turkey mike turner. steps on and shits on every forward move the maga gop makes, always fornicating with democrates, state dept, every reporter he can lick the boots of!
What do we have to do to get these taxpayer paid vacations by another name ended?
No doubt, just as Pelosi did when she used the Speaker’s private plane to return to California every weekend, stocked with the finest adult beverages and foods for all the grifters that filled the plane, this will be an ultra-First Class accommodations journey for these hard-working public servants. It really is disgusting, but once again nothing will be done about it.
THIS……
Empty our storage shelves of old Patriot missile stock, get a good price for it, then let Z-man deploy it futily against Russian hypersonic weapons.
Brig. Gen. (Ret.) Blaine Holt (former second-in-command, NATO) said two days ago that he thinks Russia is going to settle this soon… and decisively.
“Empty our storage shelves of old Patriot missile stock”
Except there isn’t any stock left to deplete.

Shaheen says to the porn star “We’re here to see what more we can do to support you…..”
TRANSLATION what more CAN THE AMERICAN TAXPAYERS SUBSIDIZE….
makes my blood boil
I would also not discount the notion that these A_Holes promised some sort of political, legislative and media blitz shenanigans to prevent a major draw down of forward deployed US NATO assets from Europe … in fact that may have actually been the major topic of discussion … the missile stuff would have been a 5-minute head nodding session.
How can anyone coordinate with that tyrannical tranny?
👠👠 💄
The discussion with Z-Man was a 5-minute head nodding and 10% Congressional Big Guy check signing session.
The real reason they were there, INVITED by EU-NATO members, was to coordinate the effort to foil ALL attempts by the President to order a major draw down of US Forward deployed NATO assets.
Can’t stand scumbag Zelensky the shakedown artist.
Can’t stand the scumbag politicians either.

More Talk than Actions: Unpleasant Facts for Patriots
There is a deep divided electorate that has been expanding for years, visible in everything from political expression to cultural norms to age-old questions over race, class and immigration. Before the “historic” midterm convention in Dallas, TX, kicks off the final stretch of the election campaign after the Labor Day weekend, the Trump administration is still busy with numerous negotiations, the conclusion of which is intended to solidify America’s leading role in the world, such as:
Politics is the Art of the Possible, but also the Art to Make the Nearest Possible Impossible
President Trump (“The Art of the Deal”) governs according to the “Realpolitik” of the late German (Iron) Chancellor Otto von Bismarck, a goal oriented, political realism: He leverages constrains (the balance of forces, what will public mood, parliamentary arithmetic, military capacity, rival empires, and the ego of leaders) at the given moment. Context matters, not convenience. He frames politics as craftsmanship – dirty hands, imperfect tools, relentless attention to what can be bent without breaking. In a nutshell: President Trump’s opponents are preventing him from doing what is necessary to satisfy his supporters.
What legal options does have President Trump to ORDER SML John Thune to bend to his will, or he will be arrested for sedition?
On Independence Day, one commentator compared the U.S. to Iran (which is a bold statement, given that the IRGC has been designated a foreign terrorist organization since 4/19 and has been similarly classified by the EU since 2/26), Trump hasn’t learned that deals don’t work in politics, and called for unlawful “extraordinary means to stop the communist takeover now.” [4]
Otto von Bismarck (ruled 150 years ago before he was dismissed by Emperor William II) assumed that true power comes through decisive actions and military might in saying: “The great questions of the day will not be settled by means of speeches and majority decisions but by iron and blood.” It’s in the eye of the beholder to decide whether this falls within President Trump’s purview.

‘Money Laundering’ Senators took a Trip to Ankara, Turkey….. It’s not Uniparty it’s Money Laundering….
Just absolutely seething at these perks.
Perps!
Looks like they are planning another grift to collect more US taxpayer funds under the Ukraine needs umbrella.?
“Continue to pay my country’s bills for us.”
These democRats and repubRats are just Disgusting. btw SC Repubs voted Grahmnesty back in the Repub Senate primary. There is a problem with Voters just following the RNC Comrades selections
This crap is why Congress as a whole needs to lose a lot of power. If we must have a congress and senate, fine. They should only be allowed to advise. No consent. They love abusing that latter part to death.
Trump is letting the progs show themselves for who they are and they have the stage. By design.
Now you know.
Thx SD for allowing comments.
