Go back a few post and read the article I posted from The Conservative Tree House. It sums up where the republican party is going and what they are doing.
This one quote is telling
”The RNC Club wants, as billionaire donor Ken Griffin explained from his discussions with Ronna McDaniel, Ron DeSantis and Kevin McCarthy, to remove the populist elements within the Republican Party, vis-a-vis MAGA, and realign with the multinational corporations on Wall Street. “He wants to improve the diversity of the GOP and blunt the vein of populism that has complicated the party’s relationship with the corporate world — two things he’s consulted with House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy about.”
just like the coverage of President Ford, eh?Ford played football for Michigan, and fell at the bottom of the air stairs.
Thanks! Short term, not much. But medium to long term a significant change to my standard of living. I appreciate the perspective at the very local level. I was having trouble caring about all the shouting.
We should get rid of the debt ceiling permanently. It is an artificial construction with no purpose except to allow politicians to argue about money they have already spent. If our politicians vote to spend money, then we MUST pay that bill. The only good thing about the debt ceiling is that it does give one party leverage to negotiate some stuff, but it is tough negotiation when you KNOW you MUST pay the bills regardless.
In lieu of an artificial, after the fact debt ceiling, it should be enshrined in law that Congress can't pass a spending bill that exceeds whatever ceiling we want to set. If a spending bill exceeds that amount, then they should have to vote on raising the ceiling BEFORE they vote on spending the money.
Trump is only a Conservative when it suits HIM. He has no problem with being liberal when THAT suits HIM.
I believe Trump soundly beat Biden in 2020 and will win again if mail in voter fraud can be curtailed, but the GOP doesn't want that. The Uniparty wants more of the same wich means the USA IS GONE.
K.T. McFarland, who served as President Trump's deputy national security advisor under Mike Flynn for the first few months of the Trump administration, told FBN's Maria Bartiromo on Sunday that she believes the FBI, CIA, and the intelligence community will try to interfere in the 2024 election to "protect their own hides" by covering up evidence of interference in 2016 and 2020.
"They will absolutely interfere in 2024. We're not sure how but they will absolutely interfere, not only because they're not going to like whoever the Republican candidate is, but to protect their own hides," McFarland said. "They knew they were doing stuff wrong. They knew they were going to be liable for prosecution."
"They can't possibly admit they were wrong because that undercuts their whole reason for being. So they're going to continue to have this fake narrative and continue to cover up and pretend that nothing bad went on," she said.
K.T. MCFARLAND: Well, I knew because I was a victim of it. When the Mueller investigation and the FBI came after me in the early days of the Trump administration, they knew I hadn't committed any crime but that didn't matter. They just wanted to go after anybody associated with President Trump in hopes they could break them or get them to lie, or at a minimum bankrupt them.
But I think, as I take a step back, and it's not just about me, it's not just about President Trump, what is it about?
We now have black-and-white evidence that the FBI interfered in the 2016 election. And then when they failed to get their candidate elected, Hillary Clinton, they set out to destroy the Trump administration.
So then go back up to 2020. This time, it was the CIA that got involved in the 2020 election with those 51 former intel agents who talked about the Hunter Biden laptop as "total Russian disinformation."
So they've gotten away with it for two elections. They will for sure get away with it -- try and get away with it in 2024, right? Because there are no consequences. The difference is in 2024, the evidence is there. We now have the Durham investigation and all the Congressional investigations.
There is now hard evidence that there was election interference by the U.S. intelligence agencies and the Department of Justice. Those individuals have got to be terrified. Those individuals have to be terrified that a Republican president comes in in the 2024 election, with a Republican Attorney General, and investigates them and charges them with all of the crimes they have committed over the last eight years.
MARIA BARTIROMO: Well, we'll see if you're right. There are questions about these elections because of this interference. Do you think there will be election interference in 2024?
K.T. MCFARLAND: Take it to the bank. They will absolutely interfere in 2024. We're not sure how but they will absolutely interfere, not only because they're not going to like whoever the Republican candidate is, but to protect their own hides.
That's why they were talking to their own people, and the whistleblower brought this up, they were told "Don't put anything on paper, just tell us orally." They knew they were doing stuff wrong. They knew they were going to be liable for prosecution.
MARIA BARTIROMO: Yeah, it's too bad. I wish the media were more curious about all of this. Unfortunately, the media takes the narrative of the Democratic Party and runs with it and then tries to cancel anybody who's not on board.
K.T. MCFARLAND: Well, they're in the same position. They can't possibly admit they were wrong because that undercuts their whole reason for being. So they're going to continue to have this fake narrative and continue to cover up and pretend that nothing bad went on.
They're all in it together. This is what the terrible thing is. These people are selling us out. Not only to foreign leaders, but they are interfering in our elections. They are tearing up the Constitution. Why? Because they want to protect their jobs and protect their ratings.
I never thought I would be this upset about how anybody in the government was performing, but this is just a gut punch to the American people.
This isn’t a two tiered justice system, it is outright malignant tyranny.
