It has come to my attention that most of MAGA, specifically those who do not understand the history of Republicans in the Senate, support a return to Senatorial and Parliamentary norms, where 60 votes are needed in order to advance any legislative intent. [READ HERE] Stupid is, as stupid does.
Prior to the 2024 election, Democrat Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer, promised to end the filibuster rule and change the Senate to a simple ‘majority rules’ body. However, in the aftermath of the 2024 election outcome, where Democrats are now in the minority, Chuck Schumer has a reversal of prior opinion and is requesting the Republican leadership to retain the filibuster rule – giving power to the Democrats who now hold minority position.
Into this mix of UniParty and DeceptiCon political constructs, the online MAGA community are now advocating for a return to old Senatorial rules where amendments can be offered to all bills proposed and the 60-vote threshold is retained for cloture, filibuster power and legislative passage.
Despite knowing Majority Leader Schumer was going to crush them, Senator Rick Scott, Senator John Cornyn and yes, now, Majority Leader John Thune, are taking the high road and promising to keep the power of the Democrat minority in place. A more apropos example of “Battered Conservative Syndrome” has never been so clear.
WASHINGTON DC – […] “The short version of that is: Please don’t do to us what we were going to do to you. Schumer is obviously concerned that Republicans might embrace a scheme to eliminate the filibuster and pass all sorts of consequential legislation with no Democratic input at all. That wouldn’t be bipartisan! Fortunately for Schumer, Republicans have been more principled than Democrats when it comes to the legislative filibuster, and to the filibuster in general. Republicans realize that even though they will have the majority for the next two years, they might be back in the minority at any time after that. So, Schumer will not get it good and hard the way he planned to give it to Republicans.” (more)
This is exactly how ‘republicanism’ infects the MAGA movement, ultimately and predictably positioning the future republican voters frustrated and shouting at trees. Democrats, together with Mitch McConnell and John Thune love this, because it retains their lucrative business model.
Let me start by reminding the MAGA victims, that’s YOU, of the position of Democrats:
In reaction to the pending arrival of President Trump, Ukraine President Volodymyr Zelenskyy is now saying the conflict with Russia is possible to end with diplomacy:
(Via CBS) – Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy said Kyiv would like to end the war with Russia next year through “diplomatic means” as both countries prepare for President-elect Donald Trump’s return to the White House.
In an interview with the Ukrainian media outlet Suspilne, Zelenskyy said he is certain that the war will end “sooner” than it otherwise would have once Mr. Trump becomes president. (read more)
It is important to remember that in this “new democracy” framed by the support of U.S-led NATO, Zelenskyy cancelled all elections within Ukraine in order to maintain his alignment with western influence.
Zelenskyy’s new position is a natural outcome of President Trump’s pending arrival.
President Trump really doesn’t have to do much; all he needs to do is withdraw U.S. support, wait a little while, demand Ukraine hold elections, and Zelenskyy will flee the nation because the political support he needs to retain the illusion of the fight is not present in the will of the Ukraine majority.
Calling for diplomacy is an outcome of Ukraine’s inherent weakness if even the slightest measure of U.S. support is withdrawn. Ukraine can only maintain the battle as long as the U.S. continues funneling money, weapons and direct targeting assistance into the battlefield.
President Donald Trump announced tonight that Karoline Leavitt, the 27-year-old campaign press secretary, will serve as White House press secretary for his administration. Ms. Leavitt becomes the youngest person ever to hold the position of WH Press Secretary.
Wow, talk about the perfect encapsulation of the term, “trillions at stake,” in one easy to witnesses screenshot. This is the current front page of Politico, where you will notice the main article about Lobbyists frames all of the sub-context articles about DC political opposition.
[SOURCE]
DC is a business. K Street houses the mechanics of the lobbying industry and represents the corporate face of the financial system. The primary lobbying sector is Big Rx, Big Ag and Big Chem; combined they represent trillions of dollars, and they are fully prepared to engage RFK Jr in the war to end all MAHA wars.
WASHINGTON DC – Lobbyists expecting a more conventional pick to lead the government’s $3 trillion health agency than Robert F. Kennedy Jr., the brash contrarian President-elect Donald Trump named on Thursday to take charge, are plotting how to stop the Senate from confirming him.
According to multiple media reports, former House Republican Mike Rogers is being considered for FBI Director.
There is three Mike Rogers, the one being discussed is the former Chair of the HPSCI, the Mike Rogers who protected Hillary Clinton.
First, all of the reports about a pending FBI Director announcement do not seem feasible. Current FBI Director Christopher Wray has not resigned and still has two years left on his term. President Trump does not take office until after inauguration in January, so he cannot appoint a nomination until after Wray resigns or President Trump (officially in office) fires him.
As a result, all of the reports of a “pending announcement” are seemingly moot. Unless something changes, there will not be one.
All of that said, President Trump is reportedly considering Mike Rogers, the 2024 Republican Senate candidate in Michigan who lost his election last week. [President Trump did endorse Mike Rogers, but he did not win his race.]
According to the media, one article below, President Trump is considering Mike Rogers for FBI Director. Mike Rogers was previously the Chairman of the House Select Committee on Intelligence and has a very corrupt history of whitewashing an “unofficial report” on Benghazi, in order to protect Hillary Clinton. When Chairman Rogers was leading the HPSCI he was in full alignment with the Deep State.
FIRST ON FOX – Will the second time be the charm for one-time Federal Bureau of Investigation special agent and former Rep. Mike Rogers?
Rogers, the 2024 Republican Senate nominee in Michigan who lost his election last week by a razor-thin margin, met Thursday with President-elect Trump’s transition team regarding potentially serving as FBI director in the former and future president’s second administration, sources familiar tell Fox News. The meeting took place at Trump’s Mar-a-Lago club in Palm Beach, Florida.
A very strategic plan for Main Justice transition delivered today by President Trump. President Trump has announced Deputy AG Todd Blanche to be #2 in charge behind Matt Gaetz, and Emil Bove to serve as interim Acting DAG in case the Senate drag their feet on confirmations. This makes a very quick transition period in Main Justice with President Trump officials immediately taking charge.
With nominated Attorney General Matt Gaetz as the Mother of all Bombs (MOAB), in comes the insurance policy, Todd Blanche, as the A-10 Warthog strafing the scattering Lawfare members. Emil Bove flying the circling Specter above the battlefield.
This is perhaps one of the most predictable nominations, although everyone was wondering if it would be agency specific or just the entire apparatus of USA health. It’s the whole enchilada!
President Trump has announced his nomination of Robert F Kennedy Jr to become the next Secretary of Health and Human Services.
In this position RFK Jr has promised to change the construct of FDA, NIH, USDA and all the subsidiary agencies to remove the corporate influence that has corrupted them. The goal is to change the food system by removing harmful additives, challenge the influence of the multi-billion-dollar pharmaceutical lobbying industry, and restore the function of public health.
It is a massive task, but one that RFK Jr says he has been developing and planning for many years. This is in his wheelhouse and Making America Healthy Again would be an incredible legacy initiative for both President Trump and Secretary Robert F Kennedy Jr.
They will both be targeted by the multinational corporations and lobbyists, but they will be bolstered by the overwhelming support of the American people. I am looking forward to this initiative as it develops and rolls out.
Various media outlets are saying approximately 10 republican senators are in opposition to the nomination of Matt Gaetz for various DeceptiCon reasons. More than likely the same ones who supported AG Merrick Garland, I digress.
Into this mix of squishy spinelessness comes former House Speaker Kevin McCarthy who has an axe to grind against his former nemesis.
WASHINGTON DC – Former House Speaker Kevin McCarthy does not believe outgoing Rep. Matt Gaetz (R-FL) will be confirmed as attorney general by the Senate after President-elect Donald Trump selected him as his nominee on Wednesday.
Some of Trump’s picks for his Cabinet, including Gaetz for attorney general and former Rep. Tulsi Gabbard for director of national intelligence, have garnered strong reactions on Capitol Hill and in the wider political world. McCarthy, whose speakership was ended by a successful motion to vacate filed by Gaetz in October 2023, told Bloomberg he believes Trump’s nominees are good, except for Gaetz.
Appearing on Fox News, DNI nominee Tulsi Gabbard discusses her perspectives on the position and her anticipation of the nomination process moving forward. As a DNI nominee Mrs Gabbard will have to pass through the Senate Select Committee on Intelligence (SSCI).
::Heavy Sigh:: I wish the interviewer would begin the questioning by asking, “what does the DNI do?” That approach would be far more interesting than discussing feelings and reactions. WATCH:
