“The National Security Divisions of the DOJ and FBI are the greatest domestic threats to the American people and the concept of Constitutional rule of law today.” — Scott Ritter
Two questions. Are you the only one who realizes this shit? What are we supposed to do with it? A revolution is in order for sure and I do want to see people hang from light posts on BLM blvd in DC but where do we go from here? What do we do? We just gave conservatives all branches of power. What else?
A president cannot be a president if the justice system he oversees has merely shelved its prosecution of him for crimes it 'creatively' investigated and indicted him on, including capital crimes.
A president would be constrained by knowledge that in four years the people and agency he oversees may use their power to seize his assets, put him in prison, maybe execute him. His fate predicated on if those same personnel at Justice who work for him like how he treats them, does what they tell him to do or not.
A president cannot be constrained like that, unable to act in the best interests of the nation that made him it's chief executive if his subordinates have that sword pressed against his neck.
They must go. All associated with that egregious travesty and afront must go. Charges must be dropped, complete immunity must be asserted. Or Trump is not President Trump. He's Defendant Trump. All four years of his presidency would be akin to Pretrial services, a defendant doing everything he can to gain leniency in the system that will punish him differently if he does what they want him to do. Not what the American people who elected him want him to do. If Bondi doesn't do that the moment she takes office, fire all involved in Crossfire Hurricane, all involved in Mueller investigation, all involved in records investigation, all who collaborated with state and local AG's and DA's, and completely exonerate him of all the lawfare charges then she will be the one holding the sword of the criminal and corrupt state over the office of the presidency. It's occupant immaterial. The Deep State will remain in charge, not the American people.
Your move, Trump. Will you be pretrial services Defendant Trump? Or President Trump? What has Bondi committed to do, blood oath commitment?
Well said Freedom Fox: It is only when James Comey, (et al), are sentenced to federal prison for treason, will the rule of law in the United States be restored. Until then, We the People are living in a 'banana republic".
The even bigger question is - does Trump know? My biggest concern for his return was that he listened to the wrong people last time. Will he make that mistake again?
I never believed Trump "made mistakes" in choosing his compadres for the top jobs. Just like Biden made no mistakes in choosing 48 Zionists for the same positions. These choices were thought-out and strategic. We voted for an extension of the swamp when we chose Trump and we can expect to pay and pay some more. It appears that he's made some good choices, probably most are compromised just like he is. Trump is no bargain.
I’m always curious when someone posts with 100% certainty that they know what’s going on—they’ve got all the goods and they’re just here to let us know. Why is your ascertain that Trump is compromised any more credible than someone who thinks he’s not? This is 5D chess. Anyone who thinks they have a handle on absolute truth is kidding themselves.
The XD chess thing is getting so old. I remember when it was 3D chess. That was about 15 years ago. Then it turned into 4D chess. "My preferred person is the one playing 4D chess! Yours isn't!" Now it's 5D? Those sure are a lot of dimensions.
They aren’t all conservatives. I just listened to Brian kilmeade,a fake conservative from faux news on the radio, and I’m telling you,we are in a three way war, against the libretardS, the neocons, and us. Conservatives. The neocons are the worst,because they hide who they are. They are the enemy within within. They might as well be libretardS. I am so sick of this shit.
11/22/24: Kilmeade is the most effective alternative to rat poison imaginable, the very symbol of the Fox-Pravda bastards who stabbed Trump in the back in 2020 and since then have been back-pedaling so fast, even Joe and Mika --- the MSNBC-Tiffany gold standard of deceitfulness --- are embarrassed to witness it.
I think you mean the "Ziocons" who hide in plain site. These people(?) ARE the Deep State, just look at Biden's bureaucracy and their (cough cough) affiliations.
The neocons are the most destructive, because they have the most power, but they are not cultural. They are war-hungry psychos and they tell us exactly what they want and what they are doing. Woke Jacobins (liberals) are sneaky, duplicitous, self-contradicting, weak, whiny and easily led to vandal-level violence as a group. They are the cultural threat, because they break down culture bit by bit to try to replace it with weak freakish insane people running the show. To me, it makes sense that now they support neocons. Back in the 'aughts, they didn't.
He didn't know that Pompeo was a traitor. Does he know it now? Maybe. I hope he does. He rejected Pompeo and Haley. But does he really realize how big and how hostile the CIA really is? I don't see enough indications that he does. Col Karen Kwiatkowski (on "Judging Freedom") hopes that Trump's appointments of Christian Zionists [people whom the Israelis will not trust or respect] to diplomatic positions in Israel in fact do show that Trump in fact does recognize that Bibi and his crew are not friends and allies of himself or the USA and he knows that they will have to be restrained, sopped and placated at first, but ultimately cut loose because they will not "make a deal". I hope Col Kwiatkowski is right.
He didn't know Pompeo was a traitor? Hmmm. You should look up the video from March, 2020 where Pompeo announces the "LIVE EXERCISE" we are under in the form of the COVID19 SCARE. Trump says, "You should have told us" - well, mumbles it. So he would have known right then and there that Pompeo was a rat.
BTW, most people don't seem to understand that the term LIVE EXERCISE is a military term. It's not just tossed around by someone like Pompeo. Look up what a live exercise is.
He fired Bolton but he didn't fire Pompeo. If he knew Pompeo was undermining him he didn't act like he knew. I wonder if it is difficult to get mentally past the CIA image of being loyal to the government. Much was going on that we can't know. Why did Trump participate, like a stooge, in murdering Kassem Soleimani? An act which was destructive of US interests and the safety of US personnel and even politically destructive against Trump's interests? I wondered if the Senate GOP threatened him that they'd vote for impeachment if he didn't get tough on Iran. But that was four years ago and a lot of water under the bridge.
I hope he has learned a lot more about what he will be up against and who his friends are NOT.
The idiotic woman on "The View" said Gaetz was guilty of sex crimes. I immediately said to myself, "OOPS! That's Slander, honey! That's LAWSUIT. Y'all best take it back!" and she did within minutes. She must have gotten a sharp rebuke in her earbud. Still, Gaetz must have taken that as a warning of how dirty the RINOs are going to get. He was wise to withdraw and his reason for doing so is believable.
The American Constitutional system now threatens the survival of the human species. Biden has the power, before the Jan 20/25 inauguration, to destroy the earth by precipitating nuclear war. And he has every motivation to do it. What runs Washington (and London) is clinically out of touch with reality. It believes Russia is weak and bluffing and that it has a holy mission to "weaken Putin". So "hope" is not just weak and sad, it's terrifying.
Those Russian warheads are covering 2 miles in one second. Faster than I can blink. It looks from the video that the warheads had no explosive charge, only the kinetic energy of impact, which was enormous. It was a demo. But the CIA/Mossad/FBI power complex is incapable of facing reality.
The "Intelligence Community" needs a custom pair of cement shoes before being offshored so it can sleep with the fishes. Job one? Destroy the FBI. Same day? Obliterate the Covert Operations command of the CIA and suck up every merc and zap them with a bug burner like horse flies.
– "The Intelligence Community"
– "Community"! Jesus you guys are kind to yourselves. "Community"! ...
Yeah, but his game is wwiii. Sorry but hating Russia in this day and age is for retards. Imagine the good that would have come to the world, had they not stolen the election, trump prosecuted all the guilty individuals for creating the shop that is Ukraine, and having a good relationship with the only other white Christian superpower on earth. Imagine an alliance with Russia. Why is that so hard toget around? We’ve been taught from grade school eat least when I was in grade school in the fifties, soviets bad. WTF? That’s 65 years of educating Americans that Russia bad. Israel good. China good,then china bad! This time around, trump is gonna have to hold on tight. These fuckers are gonna kill to make sure we have enemies everywhere. I say we kill them first.
Not sure why you think I said otherwise but ok. I have always thought Trump had a good relationship with Putin and deals with him keeping all of this in mind. He does the same with other foreign leaders as well . I'm old school so I have always thought it was a good idea.
Yes, we betrayed the Nationalist, Chiang Kai Shek, in favor of Mao and bloody Communism. Why? Because Communism is the fighting arm of Capitalism. They are one, Globalist system, both vehemently anti-nation.
Pam Bondi is a narcissistic sociopath. Any stance will do for her if it advances her position is my read. Trump can deal with people like this if he is fully aware of the pitfalls of their hidden agendas.
They are still piling on Gaetz, trying to nail that coffin shut to prevent any resurrection. I would like to see the accusers questioned publicly so we can gauge their veracity rather than only have other's agenda color the picture.
Everybody in the arena is probably high in narcissism. My question is whether they could be protocol or not. Do you have a damning argument to back up your assertion about Bondi, or is it just a gored ox?
Good point. I've watched her over several years and could never get a grasp on her basics, a tell in itself. She prosecuted an innocent person knowing such, another tell. If I saw her responses to Hare's Psychopathy Check List or other method of determination that would be better. In the end, you have to check that "gut-feeling" which serves well as the final arbiter. If the glove fits...
Gaetz comes across as the same personality type. Stuff against him could be true or manufactured. One has to test both accusations and accusers in public.
Neither are to be trusted as what is seen publicly defines them.
Excuse me: protocol —> prosocial. And I have to wonder, is any prosecutorial attorney supposed to be nuanced? Their job is to be a weapon in human form.
We need to fight fire with fire. What was the name of Gaetz's friend who tricked people into voting for him? Jew-ish but not Jewish? A slime ball but our slime ball. And so what if Gaetz likes sex. As if they don't! I bet he's not half as bad as many of them. Our puritan roots are every used against us with hypocrisy.
Apparently, Gaetz was asked to not go after Fauci and Liz Cheney. He said no.
I seriously wonder if Gaetz was sent in to smoke out the opposition. He was so gleeful about how and who he'd go after. And, he doesn't look the least heartbroken at being dumped.
Well that’s they way ‘they’ played it out. Another case of ‘he got the memo’ and he withdrew, so that some other ‘backdoor deal’ could be hatched between The Trump brigade and Schumer/The Dems about lower court judge appointments, before Trump’s installation as 47.
You have to understand we (the public) are being ‘played’ at every turn, by both sides of the political divide!
"The swamp needs to be drained." If most Americans were not so woefully ignorant about so many things, either this would be a mainstream media channel, or it would not need to exist. And, if there was a swamp, it would be MUCH smaller.
We can try to assess the root causes of Americans' collective ignorance (the educational system, corporate America, because ignorance among many is profitable for those in the know), but that's reality.
To really drain the swamp and get a handle on the deep state, people have to be informed and willing to endure short-term, perhaps medium-term, pain.
The moment some one levels with the public (we are living beyond our means), they are finished, by the corporate media, the end of campaign contributions from the lobbyists who write the rules, and the flowing of those contributions to the opponents of the truth-tellers.
The truth is a harsh mistress. We will get hundreds of comments here, but maybe 10 people will make the connection between America's financial dilapidation, and all the money and resources expended on empire, on fomenting a war against Russia, and enabling Israel to abuse Palestinians and attack everyone else in the Middle East (or using Israel as an American proxy to do those things).
Still, it's good to rant against the swamp. Just remember, many of us, and many of you, I bet derive some small benefit from the swamp (though if you are here, chances are, it does not compensate for everything the swamp takes away from you and the country).
"To really drain the swamp and get a handle on the deep state, people have to be informed and willing to endure short-term, perhaps medium-term, pain."
I'd go for medium to long term pain. The short term pain will pale in comparison. The most useful purpose of the short term pain I'll liken to a practice session for what comes next.
It's not the first time this country has endured tough times.
What happens is the 'history rhymes' thing. People who lived through difficult times are no longer living. Wisdom from experience lost? Probably. And so the cycle repeats with different players and issues.
There's always some with hands either out or in the till.
It would be a full time job for Americans to separate political fact from fiction in the present environment. The swamp needs to be structured in such a manner that it serves the population by default. A big part of the problem is MSM propaganda, and in Doge I have hope that truth will prevail, and perhaps a new format for dissemination of an objective assessment will be embraced by the citizens (I think it may already be underway).
Imagine if someone with integrity ( yeah right) in dc came out and spilled the beans inthe pelosi, Schumer, shifty criminal enterprise! I’d trip this triggers in a heartbeat. In fact,if we go to firing squad, I’m in.
Jim, I think you're confusing the Mike Rogers. The real deep state scumbag is the guy who lost his Senate race in Michigan. There are a bunch of videos of him out there endorsing spy tactics against the American people. He is the one Andy McCabe wants. The Admiral is the good guy who told Trump he was being wiretapped. If the Admiral is deep state, we're all screwed, anyway.
Admiral Mike Rogers, the one I reference, was DNI through an entire year-and-a-half of RussiaGate and he did nothing to stop it. The one in Michigan might be yet another bad-faith player in this psychodrama.
But (Congressman) Mike Rogers loves Israel and Israel can do no wrong!
Actually, I agree with you. Rogers is a scumbag. His opponent (who won the US Senate seat in the election) is a NeoCon Libtard. Either way, the people of Michigan picked a loser.
I sent this article to both Tulsi and Ratcliff... and to Donald Trump Jr.
I also told Don he REALLY needs the wisdom of Col Macgregor, regarding Ukraine, Israel and Russia. Trump's support of the mass-murdering Zionists in Israel is appalling.
The good non-zionist jews of Israel need to overthrow the criminal maniac Bibi... and soon.
Some in here would probably find more fertile ground at a Hamas rally in a woke area near you...This site tends more to MAGA country where Judeo-Christian values & culture are valued & endorsed...See which individuals & groups around the globe share your hatred of Netanyahu and a strong Israel...Not a difficult search.
Vegas says Gaetz will either become a US Senator, assistant attorney General (no confirmation necessary or better yet,becomes one of 93 new US district attorneys. Yes that needs confirmation but he has all the legal requisites and Thune won't dare refuse Trump twice. Then, by summer 2025, Gaetz gets named by Bondi as Special Prosecutor for investigating and prosecuting the upper echelon of the FBI, DOJ , Nat-Secutity division of 2016 , Brennan,Clapper and Obama for treason.
I'm thinking Gaetz was a red herring. Knowing that such an announcement would freak out deep staters, especially with resigning his position in the current Congress (he still won for the next one so he can swear in then even though is currently not in office from his last election), Gaetz was proffered as a decoy, with Bondi being Trump's choice all along. It's Trump's negotiating style: go all in with outlandish and insulting demands, then when you back off to your actual, preferred position, everyone is relieved and the deal goes through.
The deep state is deathly afraid of Matt Gaetz. He knows exactly what's going on in DC and is determined to expose the FBI corruption in the Russian Collusion Hoax and the January 6 Fedsurrection. The confirmation process is a knife-fight and the combatants are fighting for their survival. I'm hopeful that DJT can keep his team together and keep out the enemy (the Dan Hoffman types) traitors.
There's also a thread on X (https://threadreaderapp.com/thread/1859748387291107797.html) describing a former FL government tax collector (Joel Greenberg) who also had access to state Driver's licenses. He's an Epstein-like creep who created fake licenses and passed them out to a few of his 17 y.o. groupies. He also introduced one of these minors to Matt Gaetz, and lo and behold, Gaetz gets caught in the trap.
The thread also describes how Gaetz's dad was later extorted for $25m to make the whole problem of his son go away. The $25m was to be used to free some American/Israeli spy held by Russia. A bizarre story that Matt also told to Tucker Carlson in a interview a year or so ago.
I saw that too and posted it above. Wow, just gives us a nice taste of the nefarious twists and turns these guys and gals in high places are subject to.
11/22/24: By all means, he's not done yet. As for that "thread on X," I refuse to credit ANYTHING as being factual in stories filed by anonymous "journalists."
Most of this thread shows email chains and other evidence. Joel Greenberg is in prison for something like 10 years. The point is Greenberg introduced Gaetz to what by all accounts was an adult (she was 17), consensual relations allegedly occurred, and the Deep State has now dug this up to smear him even though the DOJ had previously looked into it and found nothing to charge him with.
Her other threads show the astonishing levels of corruption and chicanery even for the most obscure, picayune little positions. Stuff we didn't even realize existed.
I'd say the money mismanaged on such shenanigans must accout to at least 20% of the GDP. Half of our civilizational capital has been stolen, or more, the rest held hostage. There is nothing for white children or their future, except debt bondage.
11/22/24: ge0m0, I was thinking the same thing. Say, hasn't it been lovely watching the NY Post (Fox-Pravda) tunnel rats lose their sh*t about Gaetz? And while they've been (so easily) distracted trying to give the nation rabies, Trump got six other things done. Drop the bomb on these bastards on January 20th!
My God, I had actually forgotten that! I vividly remember seeing Lee Oswald murdered live on my folks' b&w TV. I and my mom and dad were watching it. It changed my life. That and the funeral, with all the limo lights blazing – it looked to me like a mafia funeral.
The CIA coup d'etat that installed them as the managers of the Vietnam war. And of the '67 war to take Gaza and the West Bank.
That was the time when my Grade 12 History teacher asked our class (12A) what we thought the war in Vietnam was all about. My answer: "To prevent China from establishing a commercial empire in the Far East."
My cop grandfather, watching them bring Oswald down the hallways, said "That's not how you escort a suspect, especially one who shot the president.". Then Jack Ruby shot Oswald. "Justice" was served. We've been sinking ever since.
There are a bunch of files which need to see daylight.
The people involved need exposure to this same daylight.
Going back so far... those people are all dead. However, their deeds remain with a lot more added to the pile, some added by the 'still living'. Needs a good airing out added to a cleansing process .
And after four years of several investigations the FBI when questioned by House and Senate committees continues to say, “I can’t answer these questions because it is an on-going investigation.”
Well, “somebody” needs to head the FBI and say, “Now all these investigations just ended. Get all files and submit them to Congress and sit here now and answer the damn questions! That’s an order!”
Hegseth, Gaetz, et al., have a peculiar affinity for gluttonous womanizing as have all of our best heros, biblically and historically. These men aren’t wearing eyeliner so I’m good. I want leaders who can fight and lead us in the fight. Period.
Well said! They're lusty, alive! Nothing peculiar about it. Lesser men only have one wife, and she typically despises him. She dreams of the Jarl (the King), or the Carls (the warriors). Not her thrall or slave husband.
Affinity - noun: a spontaneous or natural liking. In other words, a biological imperative. Nothing wrong with that. Strong women make strong men stronger. Women are alluring and beautiful, what's a man to do?
Lee, Grant, Patton and Washington weren't known as rakes, but Joe Hooker (loser at Chancellorsville to Lee) was such a libertine that his name became a slang term for prostitutes. However, Sherman apparently was something of a swordsman.
Yeah I remember telling people back in the 1990s I really didn't care about Bubba messing around with some doe-eyed intern. I do care about policies and governing. But still Americans as a whole think that messing around outside of marriage is worse than declaring war on another country, etc. Ridiculous.
I think it was James Woods who said "You know, Clinton's the most powerful man in the world, so you'd think he'd be able to land a girl whose ass doesn't resemble two ponies under a blanket."
A president fucking an intern was wrong for two reasons. One, they were playing hide-the-Cohiba at the height of the first wave of sexual harassment stuff (the second being #metoo, and the third being our ongoing Woke shit). Two, if an enemy learns your leader is compromised, the enemy can coerce your leader (as happened with Biden being bent over the counter by China). That's why it was, and remains, such a big deal.
The pervasiveness of corruption in the swamp seems like an impossible challenge to solve. So many people, so few cells, so little time to affect change.
When Alexander came upon the Gordian knot in Phyrgia, a knot seemingly impossible to untie, the Phyrgians challenged him to undo the knot. Instead of solving the knot puzzle through accepted, conventional means, he struck the knot with his sword, completing the challenge.
11/22/24: Recommended: "Alexander The Great" ["20/21 July 356 BC – 10/11 June 323 BC"], by Lewis V. Cummings; Houghton Mifflin Company (1940 hardcover). Long. Good.
Well said. As Erdogan said, Democracy is a bus. You get off at your stop. Permanent emergency time. Trump has to give it to Don Jr and Don Jr to Lord Baron. Maybe someday there can be elections (with voting only for the qualified) again. I hope so. But to give up power before the guilty are punished and the system reformed is madness.
1) retired ADM Mike Rogers is an honorable American. His last job was director of NSA (Ft Meade) under Trump 1.0. He did indeed warn Trump of FBI wiretapping Trump using NSA access via a contractor.
The democrats can only use that sex scandal accusation so many times. It all started back in the days of the Clarence Thomas confirmation. Every time they use it, it become less believable. These people don't really care about women. Nancy Mace is right. She is a real feminist. Little league day was ruined because trans started showing up and trying to sit with little boys. Then they ruined the Renaissance fair showing up in sex fetish outfits. Ask yourself, why aren't trans women trying to invade men's locker rooms? Why aren't women trying to steal men's athletic prizes and scholarships?
Yes, they destroyed the Boy Scouts by foisting girls on them, some of who won all the merit badges in record time. Nobody believes it was fair. The Girl Scouts begged them not to do it, but the desire to destroy was too great.
The Girl Scouts themselves fell into darkness long ago, being pro-Feminist, pro-abortion, etc. Ever does Evil turn on those who accept it.
So at this point, then, for you, no Republican male politician will ever engage in illegal sexual behavior because it's democrats that will be accusing them of that behavior. Duly noted, sister.
"Understand that [this group] essentially took over Agency operations during the so-called Global War on Terror [GWOT] after 9/11. Not only did these assholes lead America into the quicksand of the Middle East, they feathered their own nests and those of their buddies with hundreds of millions in ‘contracts’. "
Not only that, but worse, they created the "Patriot Act" global surveillance state.
Thank you so much! This article demonstrates your greatest core strength as a journalist and analyst, your specific inside knowledge and practical judgment about the "Intelligence Community" threat against the Constitutional government of the United States. The service you have provided to your country is profound and shines brightest with revelations like this. The last example of your best service that I recall is the revelations you provided about exactly how the attack on Brett Kavanaugh was mounted and by whom.
The details about the "pipe bomb's" operation and the involvement in the protest crowd of FBI agents and mercenary hirelings, it seems to me, show that indeed the Jan 6/21 incidents were an "insurrection" but not an insurrection by Trump's loyalists, an insurrection by the FBI against Congress. It was most tragically successful. It was a successful coup d'etat against the Constitutional Republic of the United States.
I have just finished listening to the RT interview with a former US military man, Stanislav Krapivnik. He presented what seems to be a practical, nuts and bolts analysis of the Russian hypersonic intermediate range missile and a comparative analysis of how the HIMARS and ATACMS and Storm Shadow strikes on Russia are conducted. It seemed factual and reasonable to me. What I noticed was that he strongly emphasized as no one else has done that all these systems are managed by the US military (and vassal military personnel) every step of the way from command through button pushing on the front lines.
But here's where I will shout out something vital to understand, and difficult to get through our heads: Krapivnik said US "mercs" command and direct and fire these missiles. Mercenaries. Hirelings and "former agents". Agents of what? The CIA. In that case they have no right to call themselves American military because they are NOT CHAIN-OF-COMMAND.
They are in the same army that blew up Nord Stream and now they threaten the entire existence of humanity. They are not the USA. The "Biden administration" is like a body taken over by an evil spirit which has no other bodily way to exercise practical authority over the living. Larry Johnson (also interviewed today by RT) wonders aloud if the "Biden administration" is trying to cause such a war as will justify the martial law suspension of the US Constitution to prevent Trump from taking office on Jan 20/25.
I am reminded of the sad letter penned by President Lincoln in late 1864 when he feared that McClellan would be elected. He wrote that "this administration" will be duty bound "to so co-operate with the new administration as to save the union between the election and the inauguration as he will have made such promises that he will be unable to save it afterwards."
What an epic horror! Truly we have been in a new American Civil War. Biden is the satanic reversal of Lincoln. The Biden administration is determined to destroy the USA and the world before the new inauguration because they fear that they will be unable to destroy it after Jan 20/25.
It’s nice to see all comments but the very idea that you know more than Trump regarding picks is ludicrous. Indeed for sure there will be rotten apples. But now Trump must stand up and bite the bullet. He must prosecute all that are involved with obvious corruption and delegate to those that will do the same in their department.
I want blood as most people who voted for him. This is the only time that Trump will be capable of doing that. He knows the process he knows most of the garbage people and if he chickens out then we can acknowledge his win meant nothing. But I think time is of the essence and I wish he was already in office.
And of course building the scaffolds or resurrecting the guillotine in a Washington park would also do the trick. That would be a reminder that he means business indeed.
The problem is anyone that would build a scaffold or a guillotine will be rejected by every Senate Democrat and a small handful of traitorous Republicans (Collins, McConnell, Murkowski). The "bad guys" are going to use every dirty trick in the bag to resist putting a real Patriot in to be the AG or lead the FBI.
A group of GOP Senators also allegedly agreed to support Matt Gaetz as AG, but only if he agreed not to go after Liz Cheney, Anthony Fauci, or MSNBC (story in Mediaite - could be fake news). We can only trust that you're right about Trump's picks, and trust that he doesn't let more rats in the door. I hope Pam Bondi has the stomach and strength to do what should be done. Bringing on Matt Gaetz as the assistant attorney general would be a good sign. Per one of our commenters, no confirmation needed.
I allowed five minutes of post-election euphoria sensing the “Rats from inside the walls of the Deep State are trying to gnaw their way into the Trump cabinet.” It’s what they did last time. My hope is that President Trump is ready for all the cloak and dagger this time. Experience is the best teacher. If you are writing about it, he must know about it. Praying he is very aware of the pitfalls and is planning ahead. Meanwhile, this kind of sickness in governing goes all the way down to our local level, which is why fighting at the local level is where you can affect positive change. Start by showing up to sit in on public board meetings at your town hall. It keeps these volunteer boards honest and on their tippy toes.
Two questions. Are you the only one who realizes this shit? What are we supposed to do with it? A revolution is in order for sure and I do want to see people hang from light posts on BLM blvd in DC but where do we go from here? What do we do? We just gave conservatives all branches of power. What else?
You could start by Tweeting out Dan Hoffman as a walking-talking poison pill onstage at this crucial time. Let the word go forth !!!
So let it be written, so let it be done 😁
Okay, Yul Brynner!
A president cannot be a president if the justice system he oversees has merely shelved its prosecution of him for crimes it 'creatively' investigated and indicted him on, including capital crimes.
A president would be constrained by knowledge that in four years the people and agency he oversees may use their power to seize his assets, put him in prison, maybe execute him. His fate predicated on if those same personnel at Justice who work for him like how he treats them, does what they tell him to do or not.
A president cannot be constrained like that, unable to act in the best interests of the nation that made him it's chief executive if his subordinates have that sword pressed against his neck.
They must go. All associated with that egregious travesty and afront must go. Charges must be dropped, complete immunity must be asserted. Or Trump is not President Trump. He's Defendant Trump. All four years of his presidency would be akin to Pretrial services, a defendant doing everything he can to gain leniency in the system that will punish him differently if he does what they want him to do. Not what the American people who elected him want him to do. If Bondi doesn't do that the moment she takes office, fire all involved in Crossfire Hurricane, all involved in Mueller investigation, all involved in records investigation, all who collaborated with state and local AG's and DA's, and completely exonerate him of all the lawfare charges then she will be the one holding the sword of the criminal and corrupt state over the office of the presidency. It's occupant immaterial. The Deep State will remain in charge, not the American people.
Your move, Trump. Will you be pretrial services Defendant Trump? Or President Trump? What has Bondi committed to do, blood oath commitment?
Well said Freedom Fox: It is only when James Comey, (et al), are sentenced to federal prison for treason, will the rule of law in the United States be restored. Until then, We the People are living in a 'banana republic".
The even bigger question is - does Trump know? My biggest concern for his return was that he listened to the wrong people last time. Will he make that mistake again?
I never believed Trump "made mistakes" in choosing his compadres for the top jobs. Just like Biden made no mistakes in choosing 48 Zionists for the same positions. These choices were thought-out and strategic. We voted for an extension of the swamp when we chose Trump and we can expect to pay and pay some more. It appears that he's made some good choices, probably most are compromised just like he is. Trump is no bargain.
I’m always curious when someone posts with 100% certainty that they know what’s going on—they’ve got all the goods and they’re just here to let us know. Why is your ascertain that Trump is compromised any more credible than someone who thinks he’s not? This is 5D chess. Anyone who thinks they have a handle on absolute truth is kidding themselves.
The XD chess thing is getting so old. I remember when it was 3D chess. That was about 15 years ago. Then it turned into 4D chess. "My preferred person is the one playing 4D chess! Yours isn't!" Now it's 5D? Those sure are a lot of dimensions.
It's called an "opinion". I bet you have one, too.
“Trust the plan”
“White Hats”
“Black Hats”
“It had to be this way.”
“5D Chess, etc” 😂

They aren’t all conservatives. I just listened to Brian kilmeade,a fake conservative from faux news on the radio, and I’m telling you,we are in a three way war, against the libretardS, the neocons, and us. Conservatives. The neocons are the worst,because they hide who they are. They are the enemy within within. They might as well be libretardS. I am so sick of this shit.
Kilmeade is a bought and paid for Zionist. I find him to be a yes man for Israel. Disgusting.
11/22/24: Kilmeade is the most effective alternative to rat poison imaginable, the very symbol of the Fox-Pravda bastards who stabbed Trump in the back in 2020 and since then have been back-pedaling so fast, even Joe and Mika --- the MSNBC-Tiffany gold standard of deceitfulness --- are embarrassed to witness it.
Why do you put the date in front of your comments? It's weird. Substack shows when people post.
I think you mean the "Ziocons" who hide in plain site. These people(?) ARE the Deep State, just look at Biden's bureaucracy and their (cough cough) affiliations.
The neocons are the most destructive, because they have the most power, but they are not cultural. They are war-hungry psychos and they tell us exactly what they want and what they are doing. Woke Jacobins (liberals) are sneaky, duplicitous, self-contradicting, weak, whiny and easily led to vandal-level violence as a group. They are the cultural threat, because they break down culture bit by bit to try to replace it with weak freakish insane people running the show. To me, it makes sense that now they support neocons. Back in the 'aughts, they didn't.
If he knows it, DJT knows it. So do all his appointees.
So I HOPE!
He didn't know that Pompeo was a traitor. Does he know it now? Maybe. I hope he does. He rejected Pompeo and Haley. But does he really realize how big and how hostile the CIA really is? I don't see enough indications that he does. Col Karen Kwiatkowski (on "Judging Freedom") hopes that Trump's appointments of Christian Zionists [people whom the Israelis will not trust or respect] to diplomatic positions in Israel in fact do show that Trump in fact does recognize that Bibi and his crew are not friends and allies of himself or the USA and he knows that they will have to be restrained, sopped and placated at first, but ultimately cut loose because they will not "make a deal". I hope Col Kwiatkowski is right.
He didn't know Pompeo was a traitor? Hmmm. You should look up the video from March, 2020 where Pompeo announces the "LIVE EXERCISE" we are under in the form of the COVID19 SCARE. Trump says, "You should have told us" - well, mumbles it. So he would have known right then and there that Pompeo was a rat.
BTW, most people don't seem to understand that the term LIVE EXERCISE is a military term. It's not just tossed around by someone like Pompeo. Look up what a live exercise is.
He fired Bolton but he didn't fire Pompeo. If he knew Pompeo was undermining him he didn't act like he knew. I wonder if it is difficult to get mentally past the CIA image of being loyal to the government. Much was going on that we can't know. Why did Trump participate, like a stooge, in murdering Kassem Soleimani? An act which was destructive of US interests and the safety of US personnel and even politically destructive against Trump's interests? I wondered if the Senate GOP threatened him that they'd vote for impeachment if he didn't get tough on Iran. But that was four years ago and a lot of water under the bridge.
I hope he has learned a lot more about what he will be up against and who his friends are NOT.
Trump now, as was then in his first term, had the scum RINOs in the Senate working against him, at every issue.
Let's see how Trump's nominees get vetted/approved.
It was a huge strategic error to name Gaetz without getting him pre-approved by the 6-12 RINOs first. Backing up is bad form.
The idiotic woman on "The View" said Gaetz was guilty of sex crimes. I immediately said to myself, "OOPS! That's Slander, honey! That's LAWSUIT. Y'all best take it back!" and she did within minutes. She must have gotten a sharp rebuke in her earbud. Still, Gaetz must have taken that as a warning of how dirty the RINOs are going to get. He was wise to withdraw and his reason for doing so is believable.
Hope is a sad word...
And I am sad to utter it.
The American Constitutional system now threatens the survival of the human species. Biden has the power, before the Jan 20/25 inauguration, to destroy the earth by precipitating nuclear war. And he has every motivation to do it. What runs Washington (and London) is clinically out of touch with reality. It believes Russia is weak and bluffing and that it has a holy mission to "weaken Putin". So "hope" is not just weak and sad, it's terrifying.
Those Russian warheads are covering 2 miles in one second. Faster than I can blink. It looks from the video that the warheads had no explosive charge, only the kinetic energy of impact, which was enormous. It was a demo. But the CIA/Mossad/FBI power complex is incapable of facing reality.
Trump needs to package up the CIA and the Deep State/Deep Stink and look for bids from Foreign Buyers only.
Since neither the CIA nor the Stink Crew work in the interests of the United State they need to be Offshored. ASAP
The "Intelligence Community" needs a custom pair of cement shoes before being offshored so it can sleep with the fishes. Job one? Destroy the FBI. Same day? Obliterate the Covert Operations command of the CIA and suck up every merc and zap them with a bug burner like horse flies.
– "The Intelligence Community"
– "Community"! Jesus you guys are kind to yourselves. "Community"! ...
– "You've done more damage than you know!"
– "I hope so."
– from '3 Days of the Condor', 1975
Trump knows everything.
Does “Operation Warp Speed” ring a bell?
How quickly people forget.
It always astounds me that people think Trump doesn't know 1000x more than we do. I mean, come on.
Be fair. If Trump knows everything, he would get more sleep.
Hours awake vs. Hours with a 100% sharp mind are 2 different things.
These days, yes it does! We are living in a “matrix”. I realize nearly everything I have been taught growing up, is a lie.
Take TODAY for instance, the anniversary of POTUS JFK’s assassination. I was one month old.
One should ask themselves why the Truth of his death hasn’t been revealed.
I think I know why. It is up to each individual to not be IGNORE-ant and learn Truth on their own.
LOL. Silly.
I know Mary Rose. I just “laugh”!
Seriously - I mean, what, we somehow have the inside knowledge he doesn't? Like cartoon-level silly.
There are many others. Mr. K is just very good at what he does and always at the top of his game.
Yeah, but his game is wwiii. Sorry but hating Russia in this day and age is for retards. Imagine the good that would have come to the world, had they not stolen the election, trump prosecuted all the guilty individuals for creating the shop that is Ukraine, and having a good relationship with the only other white Christian superpower on earth. Imagine an alliance with Russia. Why is that so hard toget around? We’ve been taught from grade school eat least when I was in grade school in the fifties, soviets bad. WTF? That’s 65 years of educating Americans that Russia bad. Israel good. China good,then china bad! This time around, trump is gonna have to hold on tight. These fuckers are gonna kill to make sure we have enemies everywhere. I say we kill them first.
Not sure why you think I said otherwise but ok. I have always thought Trump had a good relationship with Putin and deals with him keeping all of this in mind. He does the same with other foreign leaders as well . I'm old school so I have always thought it was a good idea.
Yes, we betrayed the Nationalist, Chiang Kai Shek, in favor of Mao and bloody Communism. Why? Because Communism is the fighting arm of Capitalism. They are one, Globalist system, both vehemently anti-nation.
Read about the Verona Cables that identified commies in our media, edu, and govt. They purport Dean Atkinson SOS was a spy and gave China to commies
"the only other white Christian superpower on earth."
Yet we are steered around by the ring in our nose by those who think Christians are, at best 2nd class citizens, at worst field cattle.
Where did Jeanne mention Russians, because your rant is sort of crazy sounding.
11/22/24: His "secret" is that he gets to the point. How many hundreds of his cohorts do we see every single day who write themselves into oblivion?
This is why I didn’t vote for the first time at 61 years old. I was going down the rabbit hole years ago. The general public is barely catching up.
I’m speaking about Trump as well. I want no part of the evil I KNOW exists in the U.S. Government.
I’m in the world, not of it. “Pretend I’m invisible and leave me alone.”
I don't vote and I'm your same age! I guess we've attained that certain wisdom.
Mary Rose, it’s called the bullshit/Truth/Intuition “meter”. Mine has been well tuned, and well honed.
Obviously, your “meter” is as well!😉
The problem with the B.S. meter, and the silent drum-beating detector, is that is goes off all day long.
I completely understand your reasoning.
"Are you the only one who realizes this shit?" Perfect!
Pam Bondi is a narcissistic sociopath. Any stance will do for her if it advances her position is my read. Trump can deal with people like this if he is fully aware of the pitfalls of their hidden agendas.
They are still piling on Gaetz, trying to nail that coffin shut to prevent any resurrection. I would like to see the accusers questioned publicly so we can gauge their veracity rather than only have other's agenda color the picture.
Everybody in the arena is probably high in narcissism. My question is whether they could be protocol or not. Do you have a damning argument to back up your assertion about Bondi, or is it just a gored ox?
Girl! I was just going to comment the same. Those two words are so overused they no longer mean anything.
Good point. I've watched her over several years and could never get a grasp on her basics, a tell in itself. She prosecuted an innocent person knowing such, another tell. If I saw her responses to Hare's Psychopathy Check List or other method of determination that would be better. In the end, you have to check that "gut-feeling" which serves well as the final arbiter. If the glove fits...
Gaetz comes across as the same personality type. Stuff against him could be true or manufactured. One has to test both accusations and accusers in public.
Neither are to be trusted as what is seen publicly defines them.
The DOJ said she’s another Gaetz but with a better resume. So what does that say about the DOJ
DOJ just self-identified. DOJ actions speak volumes on how deep the issue goes.
Excuse me: protocol —> prosocial. And I have to wonder, is any prosecutorial attorney supposed to be nuanced? Their job is to be a weapon in human form.
Good point - they have to have a certain type of personality to be able to do what they do.
We need to fight fire with fire. What was the name of Gaetz's friend who tricked people into voting for him? Jew-ish but not Jewish? A slime ball but our slime ball. And so what if Gaetz likes sex. As if they don't! I bet he's not half as bad as many of them. Our puritan roots are every used against us with hypocrisy.
Apparently, Gaetz was asked to not go after Fauci and Liz Cheney. He said no.
I seriously wonder if Gaetz was sent in to smoke out the opposition. He was so gleeful about how and who he'd go after. And, he doesn't look the least heartbroken at being dumped.
Well, he didn't get dumped. He decided to withdraw his name.
Well that’s they way ‘they’ played it out. Another case of ‘he got the memo’ and he withdrew, so that some other ‘backdoor deal’ could be hatched between The Trump brigade and Schumer/The Dems about lower court judge appointments, before Trump’s installation as 47.
You have to understand we (the public) are being ‘played’ at every turn, by both sides of the political divide!
I do not know enough about him but for his public persona which seems pretty self-involved. I do want a very public hearing on the alleged crimes.
The swamp needs to be drained, dried, and torched.
And people most definitely need to go to prison.
Hanged
Well, let’s give ‘‘em a fair trial, THEN off to the gallows.
"The swamp needs to be drained." If most Americans were not so woefully ignorant about so many things, either this would be a mainstream media channel, or it would not need to exist. And, if there was a swamp, it would be MUCH smaller.
We can try to assess the root causes of Americans' collective ignorance (the educational system, corporate America, because ignorance among many is profitable for those in the know), but that's reality.
To really drain the swamp and get a handle on the deep state, people have to be informed and willing to endure short-term, perhaps medium-term, pain.
The moment some one levels with the public (we are living beyond our means), they are finished, by the corporate media, the end of campaign contributions from the lobbyists who write the rules, and the flowing of those contributions to the opponents of the truth-tellers.
The truth is a harsh mistress. We will get hundreds of comments here, but maybe 10 people will make the connection between America's financial dilapidation, and all the money and resources expended on empire, on fomenting a war against Russia, and enabling Israel to abuse Palestinians and attack everyone else in the Middle East (or using Israel as an American proxy to do those things).
Still, it's good to rant against the swamp. Just remember, many of us, and many of you, I bet derive some small benefit from the swamp (though if you are here, chances are, it does not compensate for everything the swamp takes away from you and the country).
"To really drain the swamp and get a handle on the deep state, people have to be informed and willing to endure short-term, perhaps medium-term, pain."
I'd go for medium to long term pain. The short term pain will pale in comparison. The most useful purpose of the short term pain I'll liken to a practice session for what comes next.
It's not the first time this country has endured tough times.
What happens is the 'history rhymes' thing. People who lived through difficult times are no longer living. Wisdom from experience lost? Probably. And so the cycle repeats with different players and issues.
There's always some with hands either out or in the till.
"The truth is a harsh mistress" Yup!
It would be a full time job for Americans to separate political fact from fiction in the present environment. The swamp needs to be structured in such a manner that it serves the population by default. A big part of the problem is MSM propaganda, and in Doge I have hope that truth will prevail, and perhaps a new format for dissemination of an objective assessment will be embraced by the citizens (I think it may already be underway).
You put the word Americans in quotes. That's unforgivable.
If we must
Hanged
Fine. I’ll fix it. Sheesh
😂
Imagine if someone with integrity ( yeah right) in dc came out and spilled the beans inthe pelosi, Schumer, shifty criminal enterprise! I’d trip this triggers in a heartbeat. In fact,if we go to firing squad, I’m in.
Military tribunals are the ony way. Too many loopholes and too much corruption in civilian courts.
Correct.
Jim, I think you're confusing the Mike Rogers. The real deep state scumbag is the guy who lost his Senate race in Michigan. There are a bunch of videos of him out there endorsing spy tactics against the American people. He is the one Andy McCabe wants. The Admiral is the good guy who told Trump he was being wiretapped. If the Admiral is deep state, we're all screwed, anyway.
Admiral Mike Rogers, the one I reference, was DNI through an entire year-and-a-half of RussiaGate and he did nothing to stop it. The one in Michigan might be yet another bad-faith player in this psychodrama.
That was an FBI wiretap and not NSA. Chances are good NSA knew nothing about it
But (Congressman) Mike Rogers loves Israel and Israel can do no wrong!
Actually, I agree with you. Rogers is a scumbag. His opponent (who won the US Senate seat in the election) is a NeoCon Libtard. Either way, the people of Michigan picked a loser.
Don’t lump all Michigan voters in that lot! Check out polling results on where slotkin supposedly got her votes.
“We are all screwed anyway” - Rogers, after retiring from NSA went to work for an off shoot of Group 8200 . And who makes up Team 8 ?
https://washingtonexec.com/2018/11/former-nsa-director-mike-rogers-joins-cyber-think-tank-team8s-board/
That’s what I thought! I was glad when I saw his name up there, and I’ve read a few people confusing the two, which is confusing the many.
I sent this article to both Tulsi and Ratcliff... and to Donald Trump Jr.
I also told Don he REALLY needs the wisdom of Col Macgregor, regarding Ukraine, Israel and Russia. Trump's support of the mass-murdering Zionists in Israel is appalling.
The good non-zionist jews of Israel need to overthrow the criminal maniac Bibi... and soon.
The Trumps all appear to be zionists, so good luck with that.
Yep... maybe Don Jr can change his mind on it... Don Jr is not a supporter of those lice.
He upvoted the article I posted.
I find it really cute that you believe the Trumps take your advice! More power to you I guess. LOL.
Try not to be a snarky bitch... I didn't imply that, but odd that Don Jr would "like" my comment and the link... right, Yeast-pig?
Some in here would probably find more fertile ground at a Hamas rally in a woke area near you...This site tends more to MAGA country where Judeo-Christian values & culture are valued & endorsed...See which individuals & groups around the globe share your hatred of Netanyahu and a strong Israel...Not a difficult search.
The Zion lobby may be the only one with enough oomph to stop the Ukraine lobby.
Vegas says Gaetz will either become a US Senator, assistant attorney General (no confirmation necessary or better yet,becomes one of 93 new US district attorneys. Yes that needs confirmation but he has all the legal requisites and Thune won't dare refuse Trump twice. Then, by summer 2025, Gaetz gets named by Bondi as Special Prosecutor for investigating and prosecuting the upper echelon of the FBI, DOJ , Nat-Secutity division of 2016 , Brennan,Clapper and Obama for treason.
I'm thinking Gaetz was a red herring. Knowing that such an announcement would freak out deep staters, especially with resigning his position in the current Congress (he still won for the next one so he can swear in then even though is currently not in office from his last election), Gaetz was proffered as a decoy, with Bondi being Trump's choice all along. It's Trump's negotiating style: go all in with outlandish and insulting demands, then when you back off to your actual, preferred position, everyone is relieved and the deal goes through.
The deep state is deathly afraid of Matt Gaetz. He knows exactly what's going on in DC and is determined to expose the FBI corruption in the Russian Collusion Hoax and the January 6 Fedsurrection. The confirmation process is a knife-fight and the combatants are fighting for their survival. I'm hopeful that DJT can keep his team together and keep out the enemy (the Dan Hoffman types) traitors.
There's also a thread on X (https://threadreaderapp.com/thread/1859748387291107797.html) describing a former FL government tax collector (Joel Greenberg) who also had access to state Driver's licenses. He's an Epstein-like creep who created fake licenses and passed them out to a few of his 17 y.o. groupies. He also introduced one of these minors to Matt Gaetz, and lo and behold, Gaetz gets caught in the trap.
The thread also describes how Gaetz's dad was later extorted for $25m to make the whole problem of his son go away. The $25m was to be used to free some American/Israeli spy held by Russia. A bizarre story that Matt also told to Tucker Carlson in a interview a year or so ago.
Matt Gaetz isn't done yet.
Or watch him go after Garland. When Garland was weeping about the Holocaust, I knew he was the worst of the worst. He wants revenge on Americans.
Blinken goes abroad and begins his donation appeals with "As a Jew...." Wait, I thought you were an American?
I saw that too and posted it above. Wow, just gives us a nice taste of the nefarious twists and turns these guys and gals in high places are subject to.
11/22/24: By all means, he's not done yet. As for that "thread on X," I refuse to credit ANYTHING as being factual in stories filed by anonymous "journalists."
Most of this thread shows email chains and other evidence. Joel Greenberg is in prison for something like 10 years. The point is Greenberg introduced Gaetz to what by all accounts was an adult (she was 17), consensual relations allegedly occurred, and the Deep State has now dug this up to smear him even though the DOJ had previously looked into it and found nothing to charge him with.
Excellent; thank you. Gaetz will land on his feet.
Of that I have no doubt.
Citizen journalists are now leagues more credible than anything mainstream.
Her other threads show the astonishing levels of corruption and chicanery even for the most obscure, picayune little positions. Stuff we didn't even realize existed.
I'd say the money mismanaged on such shenanigans must accout to at least 20% of the GDP. Half of our civilizational capital has been stolen, or more, the rest held hostage. There is nothing for white children or their future, except debt bondage.
11/22/24: ge0m0, I was thinking the same thing. Say, hasn't it been lovely watching the NY Post (Fox-Pravda) tunnel rats lose their sh*t about Gaetz? And while they've been (so easily) distracted trying to give the nation rabies, Trump got six other things done. Drop the bomb on these bastards on January 20th!
I agree 100% and said so. Total head fake
Escalate to deescalate lol
11/22/24: Sounds good to me. If Gaetz got the bastards THIS riled up, his value is inestimable.
I like it
Today, 61 years ago, JFK was assassinated. Terrible tragedy.
President Trump said he would open up the JFK files. Let's see if Mr. Trump can keep his word. Let's see if he CAN do it, and if "they" let him do it.
That should be a pretty easy, non-partisan issue.
The other ‘Mike’ smiling and insinuating himself back around…Pompeo…advised Trump not to, first time around. More Mikes than an Irish convention…
My God, I had actually forgotten that! I vividly remember seeing Lee Oswald murdered live on my folks' b&w TV. I and my mom and dad were watching it. It changed my life. That and the funeral, with all the limo lights blazing – it looked to me like a mafia funeral.
The CIA coup d'etat that installed them as the managers of the Vietnam war. And of the '67 war to take Gaza and the West Bank.
That was the time when my Grade 12 History teacher asked our class (12A) what we thought the war in Vietnam was all about. My answer: "To prevent China from establishing a commercial empire in the Far East."
My cop grandfather, watching them bring Oswald down the hallways, said "That's not how you escort a suspect, especially one who shot the president.". Then Jack Ruby shot Oswald. "Justice" was served. We've been sinking ever since.
There are a bunch of files which need to see daylight.
The people involved need exposure to this same daylight.
Going back so far... those people are all dead. However, their deeds remain with a lot more added to the pile, some added by the 'still living'. Needs a good airing out added to a cleansing process .
And after four years of several investigations the FBI when questioned by House and Senate committees continues to say, “I can’t answer these questions because it is an on-going investigation.”
Well, “somebody” needs to head the FBI and say, “Now all these investigations just ended. Get all files and submit them to Congress and sit here now and answer the damn questions! That’s an order!”
I still find it so crazy that C.S. Lewis died on the same day.
So did Aldous Huxley.
Hegseth, Gaetz, et al., have a peculiar affinity for gluttonous womanizing as have all of our best heros, biblically and historically. These men aren’t wearing eyeliner so I’m good. I want leaders who can fight and lead us in the fight. Period.
Well said! They're lusty, alive! Nothing peculiar about it. Lesser men only have one wife, and she typically despises him. She dreams of the Jarl (the King), or the Carls (the warriors). Not her thrall or slave husband.
Affinity - noun: a spontaneous or natural liking. In other words, a biological imperative. Nothing wrong with that. Strong women make strong men stronger. Women are alluring and beautiful, what's a man to do?
Lee, Grant, Patton and Washington weren't known as rakes, but Joe Hooker (loser at Chancellorsville to Lee) was such a libertine that his name became a slang term for prostitutes. However, Sherman apparently was something of a swordsman.
Yeah I remember telling people back in the 1990s I really didn't care about Bubba messing around with some doe-eyed intern. I do care about policies and governing. But still Americans as a whole think that messing around outside of marriage is worse than declaring war on another country, etc. Ridiculous.
Looking back now, Monica was obviously a honeytrap.
Probably!
I think it was James Woods who said "You know, Clinton's the most powerful man in the world, so you'd think he'd be able to land a girl whose ass doesn't resemble two ponies under a blanket."
Hyuk!
A president fucking an intern was wrong for two reasons. One, they were playing hide-the-Cohiba at the height of the first wave of sexual harassment stuff (the second being #metoo, and the third being our ongoing Woke shit). Two, if an enemy learns your leader is compromised, the enemy can coerce your leader (as happened with Biden being bent over the counter by China). That's why it was, and remains, such a big deal.
Meh. "Wrong" sure. A big deal? Nah.
The pervasiveness of corruption in the swamp seems like an impossible challenge to solve. So many people, so few cells, so little time to affect change.
When Alexander came upon the Gordian knot in Phyrgia, a knot seemingly impossible to untie, the Phyrgians challenged him to undo the knot. Instead of solving the knot puzzle through accepted, conventional means, he struck the knot with his sword, completing the challenge.
11/22/24: Recommended: "Alexander The Great" ["20/21 July 356 BC – 10/11 June 323 BC"], by Lewis V. Cummings; Houghton Mifflin Company (1940 hardcover). Long. Good.
Well said. As Erdogan said, Democracy is a bus. You get off at your stop. Permanent emergency time. Trump has to give it to Don Jr and Don Jr to Lord Baron. Maybe someday there can be elections (with voting only for the qualified) again. I hope so. But to give up power before the guilty are punished and the system reformed is madness.
IMPORTANT: hero Rogers vs goat Rogers
Per “AI C” above:
1) retired ADM Mike Rogers is an honorable American. His last job was director of NSA (Ft Meade) under Trump 1.0. He did indeed warn Trump of FBI wiretapping Trump using NSA access via a contractor.
https://www.navy.mil/DesktopModules/ArticleCS/Print.aspx?PortalId=1&ModuleId=692&Article=2236012
2) Mike Rogers, former Congressman from Michigan is a former Army officer and FBI special agent. He is an untrustworthy Swamp operative.
https://nationalsecurity.gmu.edu/mike-rogers/
UPDATE:
Trump advisor Dan Scavino has just said that fmr Congressman Mike Rogers is NOT under consideration for FBI Director.

Where is he now? Who is he working with?
He's a US Congressman
The democrats can only use that sex scandal accusation so many times. It all started back in the days of the Clarence Thomas confirmation. Every time they use it, it become less believable. These people don't really care about women. Nancy Mace is right. She is a real feminist. Little league day was ruined because trans started showing up and trying to sit with little boys. Then they ruined the Renaissance fair showing up in sex fetish outfits. Ask yourself, why aren't trans women trying to invade men's locker rooms? Why aren't women trying to steal men's athletic prizes and scholarships?
Yes, they destroyed the Boy Scouts by foisting girls on them, some of who won all the merit badges in record time. Nobody believes it was fair. The Girl Scouts begged them not to do it, but the desire to destroy was too great.
The Girl Scouts themselves fell into darkness long ago, being pro-Feminist, pro-abortion, etc. Ever does Evil turn on those who accept it.
Well, to answer your last question, because women don’t have the physical ability to win in men’s sports but yeah, I agree totally
So at this point, then, for you, no Republican male politician will ever engage in illegal sexual behavior because it's democrats that will be accusing them of that behavior. Duly noted, sister.
"Understand that [this group] essentially took over Agency operations during the so-called Global War on Terror [GWOT] after 9/11. Not only did these assholes lead America into the quicksand of the Middle East, they feathered their own nests and those of their buddies with hundreds of millions in ‘contracts’. "
Not only that, but worse, they created the "Patriot Act" global surveillance state.
Thank you so much! This article demonstrates your greatest core strength as a journalist and analyst, your specific inside knowledge and practical judgment about the "Intelligence Community" threat against the Constitutional government of the United States. The service you have provided to your country is profound and shines brightest with revelations like this. The last example of your best service that I recall is the revelations you provided about exactly how the attack on Brett Kavanaugh was mounted and by whom.
The details about the "pipe bomb's" operation and the involvement in the protest crowd of FBI agents and mercenary hirelings, it seems to me, show that indeed the Jan 6/21 incidents were an "insurrection" but not an insurrection by Trump's loyalists, an insurrection by the FBI against Congress. It was most tragically successful. It was a successful coup d'etat against the Constitutional Republic of the United States.
I have just finished listening to the RT interview with a former US military man, Stanislav Krapivnik. He presented what seems to be a practical, nuts and bolts analysis of the Russian hypersonic intermediate range missile and a comparative analysis of how the HIMARS and ATACMS and Storm Shadow strikes on Russia are conducted. It seemed factual and reasonable to me. What I noticed was that he strongly emphasized as no one else has done that all these systems are managed by the US military (and vassal military personnel) every step of the way from command through button pushing on the front lines.
But here's where I will shout out something vital to understand, and difficult to get through our heads: Krapivnik said US "mercs" command and direct and fire these missiles. Mercenaries. Hirelings and "former agents". Agents of what? The CIA. In that case they have no right to call themselves American military because they are NOT CHAIN-OF-COMMAND.
They are in the same army that blew up Nord Stream and now they threaten the entire existence of humanity. They are not the USA. The "Biden administration" is like a body taken over by an evil spirit which has no other bodily way to exercise practical authority over the living. Larry Johnson (also interviewed today by RT) wonders aloud if the "Biden administration" is trying to cause such a war as will justify the martial law suspension of the US Constitution to prevent Trump from taking office on Jan 20/25.
I am reminded of the sad letter penned by President Lincoln in late 1864 when he feared that McClellan would be elected. He wrote that "this administration" will be duty bound "to so co-operate with the new administration as to save the union between the election and the inauguration as he will have made such promises that he will be unable to save it afterwards."
What an epic horror! Truly we have been in a new American Civil War. Biden is the satanic reversal of Lincoln. The Biden administration is determined to destroy the USA and the world before the new inauguration because they fear that they will be unable to destroy it after Jan 20/25.
It’s nice to see all comments but the very idea that you know more than Trump regarding picks is ludicrous. Indeed for sure there will be rotten apples. But now Trump must stand up and bite the bullet. He must prosecute all that are involved with obvious corruption and delegate to those that will do the same in their department.
I want blood as most people who voted for him. This is the only time that Trump will be capable of doing that. He knows the process he knows most of the garbage people and if he chickens out then we can acknowledge his win meant nothing. But I think time is of the essence and I wish he was already in office.
And of course building the scaffolds or resurrecting the guillotine in a Washington park would also do the trick. That would be a reminder that he means business indeed.
The problem is anyone that would build a scaffold or a guillotine will be rejected by every Senate Democrat and a small handful of traitorous Republicans (Collins, McConnell, Murkowski). The "bad guys" are going to use every dirty trick in the bag to resist putting a real Patriot in to be the AG or lead the FBI.
A group of GOP Senators also allegedly agreed to support Matt Gaetz as AG, but only if he agreed not to go after Liz Cheney, Anthony Fauci, or MSNBC (story in Mediaite - could be fake news). We can only trust that you're right about Trump's picks, and trust that he doesn't let more rats in the door. I hope Pam Bondi has the stomach and strength to do what should be done. Bringing on Matt Gaetz as the assistant attorney general would be a good sign. Per one of our commenters, no confirmation needed.
Man plans ….God laughs
I allowed five minutes of post-election euphoria sensing the “Rats from inside the walls of the Deep State are trying to gnaw their way into the Trump cabinet.” It’s what they did last time. My hope is that President Trump is ready for all the cloak and dagger this time. Experience is the best teacher. If you are writing about it, he must know about it. Praying he is very aware of the pitfalls and is planning ahead. Meanwhile, this kind of sickness in governing goes all the way down to our local level, which is why fighting at the local level is where you can affect positive change. Start by showing up to sit in on public board meetings at your town hall. It keeps these volunteer boards honest and on their tippy toes.
The Federal Reserve is the keeper of The Swamp.
