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?

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?

Expand full comment

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.

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.

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.

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.

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 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).

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.

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.

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.

2) Mike Rogers, former Congressman from Michigan is a former Army officer and FBI special agent. He is an untrustworthy Swamp operative.

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.

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.
