President Trump is campaigning again to drain the swamp, but for real this time. after term one ended in disaster, it's worth considering whether he's capable of defeating his adversaries.
Agreed - dark times. People are hanging their hopes on Trump ripping his shirt off and seeking revenge like a Marvel superhero. For any prediction of the future, look to the past. He'll be good at energy policy and keeping us out of foreign wars but little else.
Exactly! The Dotard surrounded himself with proverbial "swamp things" such as Esper, Pompeio, Bolton, & Haley who helped frustrate any sensible policy change (e.g. US-DPRK rapprochement, Syria withdrawal) whilst goading his baser instincts (e.g. the assassination of Gen. Soleimani, moving the US Embassy in Israel to Jerusalem). Never mind his own coup de grace: His decree of March 13, 2020 declaring a "National Emergency" over the pseudopandemic and invoking the PREP Act to fast-track the MAGA jabs.
Wtf?? He escalated Afghanistan before wisely surrendering to the Taliban AND he escalated Yemen and got 3 Americans killed along with $100 million in aircraft assets. And 2020 was the year with the highest number of energy industry bankruptcies!! $2/gallon gasoline was because of 15 days to slow the spread—it bankrupted many companies.
True as this may be, the outcome of the next presidential election has implications far beyond the usual political, economic, and cultural concerns, and even the question of whether or not Trump would or even could "drain the swamp" are secondary to the fact that *if* he fails, it will be incontrovertible proof to the opposition that their tactics worked.
The way I see it, if they're vindicated in their efforts to defeat him this time around, that's the final nail in the coffin of the American experiment.
It's one thing to let government take your rights away through policies, legislation, and mandates. It's another thing entirely to let it take them away through action; by demonstrating that they have the ability to subjugate the will of the people, and the freedom to do so with impugnity.
Trump has no chance to win the general election. It is being rigged. Not behind the scenes by Dominion or by 200 Mules. If you think that all of he lawsuits and indictments that suddenly popped up when Trump announced his run, and was the leading candidate for the Republicans, if you think that's just the system of blind justice working, you are delusional.
This B---H should have been in prison all this time for the criminal activity against Trump and America's government ! She and her groupies could fill GITMO
He surrounded himself with swamp creatures who had no motivation to assist him in draining the swamp. He should have cleaned house ... he’s probably too late to get another crack at it.
Trump did more damage to the U.S. - in the singular 18 months leading up to his leaving office - than any other two term President - of the last 35 years:
1.7 Million Dead and 47 million ( and STILL COUNTING) from the jab.
3 Million closed businesses due to lockdowns - since he handed over the Constitution, and our government - to FAUCI AND THE CDC
$4 Trillion Upward Wealth Transfer
Takeover by the Deep State CENSORSHIP COMPLEX.
A stolen Potus, Ga Senate, and various House elections in different states.
All of which set the stage for the DELIBERATE DESTRUCTION Biden has wrought with his completely Zionist agency cabal.
The Dems/Deep State so OWN Trump, that they WANT him to be the nominee. They are petrified of two people only: Ron DeSantis, and RFK Jr ( which we should all FIGHT LIKE HELL - to make them their respective nominees) If Trump wins the primary, we'll have another 150 days of Antifa/BLM riots - this time with ...3-4 million illegals - likely armed- joining the fray ( the Great Replacement Theory is the realest plan the Dems ever put in action) - and, if, thru all this - Trump fights off the STEAL?
We are in a full on bloody civil war that doesn't end for 5 years ---but when it does, we have the WEF, WHO, and UN - with boots on our necks- after 30 million have died and 50 million put in FEMA camps.
This isn't a drill, and sadly, it's not hyperbole.
This is written by a two time Trump voter who WANTS to be wrong...but I've been right on most since 2016 ( former Bernie staffer, btw, who watched Clinton get away with stealing 17 state primaries. Bernie KNEW - we had the evidence, and he wouldn't fight it. Hence my becoming red-pilled).
PS - Not only is Trump hated by the establishment, he'd be a LAME DUCK - and would probably spend a full year in court, if not more.
HOW COULD HE POSSIBLY SERVE US WITH ALL THAT'S ALIGNED AGAINST HIM - and, lastly, he doesn't ADMIT TO ANY OF HIS MISTAKES - so he would make them all, again.
He's a molotov cocktail with the fuse lit. The entire U.S. will be embedded with shrapnel when he explodes.
100% truth ... former ardent supporter, but the establishment never had a less capable adversary than they had in Trump. Sure, he had plenty of resistance, but Trump proved himself utterly incapable of taking on these forces and made himself an easy (and unsympathetic) target.
He's now unelectable, in the same way that Rs and indys and moderates ran through fire to vote against Hillary in '16, Ds and indys and moderates will run through fire to vote against Trump in '24, just as they did in '20.
But all this aside, his covid response was disqualifying, when we needed someone tough to stand up, he sat down and tossed Fauci the keys. He added $7.8T in debt and the dope even funded the very mail-in-ballots he then spent 3 years crying about. I could go on, but I'm done with him ... he's a shadow of his 2016 self, filled with rage, 'ME' grievance, and unfocussed vengeance. We need to turn the page on him, and whatever MAGA has morphed into. Sorry.
I have often wondered if Trump was just a patsy for the deep state. Hard not to believe it with all the swamp creatures he added to the swamp. Remember he was a democrat before he ran and he was good friends with the Clintons. His actions on the Rona scam sure didn’t change my mind.
I couldn't agree with you more! From his political apprenticeship w/Roy Cohn through to the veritable swamp fest that was his presidency and the "suicide" of Epstein under his watch, Trump IS & REMAINS the crudest personification of "The Swamp"; the quintessence of controlled opposition.
Oh I had forgotten about Trump and his connection with Roy Cohn. Great job on pointing that out. Also Barr, appointed by Trump wasn’t too concerned about Epstein first being attacked and then dying in the secure wing of the prison. But boy did that story disappear quickly after he died. And we still haven’t seen all the list of the people who played with Epstein. Maxwell got a sweetheart placement in minimum security prison without having to had to name names.
Yes I’ve been a fan of Whitney for years and I followed everything she wrote on Epstein after his arrest. My little blog wrote a lot of essays that used her work. She was on Mint Press at the time.
Just like during the Rona, the most suppressed information was the only honest information. In 2024, the most suppressed candidates (intentional de-amplification) are probably the good guys.
I don't think he meant to drain the swamp. He was always part of the swamp. He had a chance to do the right thing at the start when the bureaucrats were unsure of his intentions, but he immediately kept all the bad people and fired all the good people. By March 2017 the bureaucrats were reassured and resumed business as usual.
Trump might not have started any new wars, but he relaxed the rules of engagement for the military which led to even more civilian deaths. And he only tried to end 2 of them near the end of his presidency.
I have learned how the media and governments lie to us!!! I have learned corporations rule the world along with the rich and China. I learned the medical professionals are a disgrace and to never trust them again. I have learned the alphabet agencies are corrupt and will stop at nothing to manipulate the masses. We also have no fair justice/election systems.
Trump helped get a vax going initially for the “at risks” groups based on fraudulent data from blue states/cities. No major funding came from his years.
Biden is the one that opened the vax up for all ages and mandated it!!! He continues to pump and print money out like crazy for hoaxes after hoaxes. Biden has been pre-paid to be a traitor. We cannot have another globalist president for another term. And that includes rinos who want more oil wars and China trade.
Free trade ruined my life and family. The only person that ever spoke out about it and China was Trump!!!! He gave us a good economy and no wars. He’s the only anti free trade, anti China, anti globalist candidate. The other candidates want to continue with their pro China agendas and ruin us.
China is in Cuba/Canada/ UK …. Everywhere! And no one is doing a darn thing to stop the great re-set coming.
Trump brought me to the dance and I’m sticking with him!!! There is nothing wrong with MAGA policies.
Early in 2016, Martin Armstrong described Trump's new administration as only a speed bump. That turned out to be true. Trump was so naive and green. I am sure another chance in office would make a difference; now he knows what to expect, but he's not getting inside again. They will kill him first.
Mr. Trump is a tough business guy, but that is nothing compared to the world of modern politics. The players have no soul. At least in business, you must keep the customer happy, or they leave. But in politics, they could care less about whether one lives or dies. Death is preferable to the politician because there are fewer upset voters to hear whine.
In 2020, a coup took place, but few realize this fact. The Neocons are in complete control. This is another Armstrong explanation of the current system. The Neocons have no interest in the economy, your money or health, or anything about us as individuals. The residents of Maui found that out with the $700 one-time check and a gun to their heads to sell their multi-million-dollar valued property. Get off the land, you parasites.
Prepare for the inevitable WW3; the Neocons are finally getting their wish of a Russian confrontation, with China being next. They are so evil they believe such a war can be won. They will instead destroy the Western World, your children, and grandchildren. This is the main reason that they hate Trump. Just like JFK, Mr. Trump will not go to war. That got Mr. Kennedy killed, and another successful coup was completed using President Johnson to engage America in a Southeast Asian civil war on the lie it was a Communist invasion. It was another deception for you and me to support a war—one of the many lies on the long list of war's past that has no end; so it goes.
I for one wouldn't bet on the American people ever having another valid presidential election. There is no reason for those who've installed themselves in power not to commit systemic election fraud again and again. There were no consequences for blatant fraud last time. Americans now have nothing but subjugation and subservience in their future.
You got that right - but I've always said the Democrats merely mimic the Republicans. Think back to 2000 and Bush stealing the election from Gore! Where'd the Democrats learn this? Then look at the war in Iraq started by Bush and Co and now look at Ukraine - same thing all over again! Monkey see monkey do!
I wasn't a party member for decades and couldn't care less about partisan politics (happily not my problem anymore) so yes, both parties have bad records but this fraud is a nation killer. The Bush Gore race was legitimately close and could have gone either way. This time Trump was trouncing Biden so badly perpetrators had to stop counting votes in states which were clearly about to determine the election decisively then they blatantly stuffed the ballot box and NOTHING was done to stop the crime and bring perpetrators to justice. In fact institutions which should have protected the American people (law enforcement, legislators, courts, media) all too often aided and abetted the crime. Democracy, hence your liberty, is done in the US. As yet faceless self serving authoritarians have seized power (Joe is obviously just a pitiful facade). You are now being dragged into a horrendous tyranny. Actually an appalling number of Americans are wandering into their enslavement like brainless livestock, but they are bound to experience a sickening wakeup at some point.
Two things, listen to Robert Barnes explain all the things that transpired in Georgia - however this was not news to me per se if you've ever read John Funds books on voter fraud and how rampant and extensive it is! BTW it's not the presidential election that matters but rather the smaller lesser turn out elections for congress and senate that are the most important!
The mere fact that million of illegals are absolutely voting (unless an election is contested - less than 1% margin - or the person is turned in, there are NO consequences) in addition to the voting machines themselves and the list goes on and on and on - all the ways it's is completely CORRUPT which is the word Trump et al should be using rather than rigged - stolen and the absolute worst, cheated which are so incredibly juvenile!
Robert Barnes interview: (skip the Brit's parts he has nothing to add per se) listen to him explain all the ways in which it was corruption, on steroids!!!! It was so blatant!
Indeed systemic election fraud, political weaponization of "justice" systems, censorship/book burning, political violence, demonization/cancellation of those who don't comply, debanking, etc. One need not be a history expert to see yet another pack of pathological, self serving authoritarians is seizing power over a once substantially free society. This horrific process has played out many times through history. The best option, for those who can, is to leave before the control freaks slam all exits shut. Manipulative sociopaths don't handle rejection well and once they have enough power they will take delight in immobilizing/imprisoning those who aren't compliant with their desires (or worse).
Americans who are thinking of leaving need to understand something which I didn't know initially. To be free of DC you must renounce your US citizenship. Unlike virtually every other country in the world you can't simply expatriate...sadly. Provided your taxes are up to date the process of renouncing is quick, just two appointments at a US embassy or consulate and payment of $2,350 cash. However you must also have a second citizenship. Most Americans have no reasonable prospect of clearing that hurdle, so they are now trapped and in trouble.
Really? All of his proclamations show the exact opposite - he's LEARNED NOTHING. He is still touting the jab. He's now bashing DeSantis - who is more MAGA than Trump ever was - and who has been incredibly successful - facing the same Machiavellian Deep State apparrattus.
DeSantis is a front for Ryan Murdoch Bush Cheney Rove Chamber of Commerce ...Paul Ryan was Speaker of the House and thwarted Trump’s policies on immigration. Ryan blocked the Wall.
Lol. That's one of the more preposterous lies offered by Trump sychophants. One of the only Gov to buck the globalist agenda- DeSantis is the ANTI - RYAN in policy, word, action, world view.
And he'd chew his own foot off before taking a loan from George Soros- as Trump did.
No, they aren't. And I've already clearly demonstrated his actions against the globalists and the uniparty. Those actions span 3 years. He's having his AG investigate Pfizer and Modern a, and his Surgeon General BANNED the VAX for under 10 yr olds.
Chip Roy & Thomas Massie endorse him- two anti war libertarians.
You don't know how to think or connect dots, you only know how to PARROT.
No, he hasn't learned anything, ... if one thing is certain about Trump, it's that he's un-learnable. He'll certainly be consumed with vengeance and fury against lots of the establishment, justifiably so perhaps, but he'll do nothing to improve the lives of Americans. It'll be entirely his personal vengeance term, but I bet he does little productive to 'drain the swamp'. Trump IS the swamp, his appointments (need I list them?) proved this. And please spare me the explanations that Trump "trusted the wrong people" ... that just tells me he was either gullible or stupid, and that's not what I voted 2x for.
And as far as I can tell, he took all the same money from all the same people MAGA calls 'establishment' - so I suspect he's compromised as well ... either way, I'm in no mood for mulligans.
"I recommend taking the vaccines. I did it, it’s good. Take the vaccines.” Donald J Trump, August 21st, 2021
"I hope everyone remembers when they're getting the COVID-19 Vaccine, that if I wasn’t President, you wouldn’t be getting that beautiful 'shot' for 5 years, at best, and probably wouldn't be getting it at all. I hope everyone remembers!" — Donald J Trump, February 28th 2021
"I would recommend it and I would recommend it to a lot of people that don't want to get it and a lot of those people voted for me, frankly." — Donald J Trump, March 16th 2021
"We have our freedoms and we have to live by that, and I agree with that also. But it is a great vaccine. It is a safe vaccine, and it is something that works." — Donald J Trump, March 17th 2021
"Get those shots everyone!" — Donald J Trump, December 17th 2020
“I guess in a certain way, I’m the father of the vaccine because I was the one that pushed it. To get it done in less than nine months was a miracle.” - Donald J Trump, April 29th 2021
"Everybody, go get your shot." — Donald J Trump, February 28th 2021
"It works incredibly well. 95%, maybe even more than that...and it is really saving our country and it is saving frankly the world." — Donald J Trump, March 9th 2021
"It will save millions of lives, and soon end the pandemic once and for all. These vaccines are also very safe." — Donald J Trump, December 11th 2020
"The Vaccine and the Vaccine rollout are getting the best of reviews. Moving along really well. Get those shots everyone!" — Donald J Trump, December 17th 2020
"Well, I got the Pfizer, and I would have been very happy with any of them. I thought a very bad statement was when they did a pause on Johnson & Johnson. I think that frightened people. That was a bad thing to do. At that time, when they did the pause, they had six people that may have had some difficulty out of millions that received it. But I think the pause was a very bad thing to do." — Donald J Trump, October 2nd 2021
=================================
"During my administration, everybody wanted the vaccine. There was nobody saying oh, gee, I don't want to take it. Now they say that. And that's because they don't trust the Biden administration. I can think of no other reason. But they say we don't want it, we aren't going to take it. When I was there, everybody wanted it and we were doing great. Well, the military did a fantastic job." — Donald J Trump, October 7th 2021
"I'm very proud of the vaccine, I've taken it, you've probably taken it. But I'm very proud of it. I think we could have another situation with the Spanish Flu, 1917, where up to 100 million people were killed." — Donald J Trump, August 18th 202
Through a partnership with FDEM and FDOH, Publix is receiving 15,000 doses of the Moderna COVID-19 vaccine to launch a new pilot program at 22 select Publix Supermarkets, beginning Friday, January 8. Appointments can be made beginning Thursday, January 7.
“As part of our ongoing efforts to increase vaccinations and put Florida’s seniors first, I’m pleased to announce this innovative partnership with Publix,” said Governor DeSantis. “At the end of the day, we are all in this together, and the state of Florida thanks Publix for their willingness to step up and lend their infrastructure to this critical cause.”
Although I vehemently agree with you about Trump, I completely disagree with you regarding Hillary Clinton!
First things first - for anyone who believes Trump was a billionaire or whatever before becoming POTUS you're out of your mind! He simply robbed from Peter to pay Paul to create the image that he was RICH! Hence going to the ends of the earth to hide his tax records, for years! Fast forward to 2020 after leaving the WH and having earned OVER one billion dollars! More than any of his predecessors! Obama left with roughly 650 million and the Clinton's certainly had more than when they too arrived! If anyone thinks Trump would now bite the hand that not only feeds him but also made him into what he always purported to be - you're also out of your mind The pharmaceutical industry gave him a million dollars just for his inauguration and therefore he will never ever denounce nor apologize for the lethal injections!!!! Lastly, the more times he's arrested the higher his donations - so he doesn't have to worry about legal fee's.
Re: Hillary
Imagine the debt that woman incurred touring the world as SOS when in actuality she was accepting donations to the Clinton Foundation telling everyone she would be the next POTUS! Imagine all the favors that were bought and paid for? That's why she's so angry! Not only is she massively indebted financially to all those who bribed her - but after losing to Trump of all people she became a nobody and a laughing stock!
She knew Biden was in decline and Kamila would never be chosen for anything! The time was now hers that is until RFK stuck his hat into the ring! She clearly had words with him ( he recently said he saw and spoke to her at some function) for him to then say (as in retaliate) something to the effect of there are no deplorables in this Country during his announcement speech! The ONE very word synonymous with Hillary Clinton!
A List? Your kidding right? There was not one persons name on that list of any great importance! Matt Damon? Ashley Judd? Seriously? McCains wife? Who knew she was even still alive? No doubt however she is clearly not up to something! Maybe they'll actually run Michelle Obama and this is about her running as her VP? Although politics (elections) are all about hunting season - and the RELEASE of Obama's love letters stating he had dreams of making love to men - was clearly a warning shot! They kept them hidden since 2008 and yet isn't it amazing they surfaced and were published now?
Trump said a lot of things to get votes ,and never rebuilt our infrastructure, never replaced Obamacare, never ended the wars in the Middle East, never drained the swamp just replaced some of it with more swap monsters, never united us, did not stop the lockdowns and promoted the jabs, even wanted his name on them, never had RFK Jr investigate vaccine injuries deaths and instead accepted 1 million from Big Pharma, never released the files on the JFK assassination (CIA Murder). Instead he enriched himself as well as his family not unlike the Biden's, who have done the same. He gave away trillions to millionaires and billionaires. He has a plan this time, for revenge, and not helping We the People. It's always about me me me, Trump is in it from Trump period. The only candidate with the Courage to stand up to the powers that be has proven himself again and again, for at least the last 20 years, and that man is Robert F Kennedy Jr. If he doesn't get murdered like his dad and uncle we have a very good chance to make our lives worth living again.
While I respectfully disagree w/you regarding RFK Jr. (IMHO he's 2024's "Sheepdog Sanders"), your appraisal of The Dotard and his dismal record is on point.
Is that why the Biden Admin refuses to give RFK Jr Secret Service protection? They want him dead just like his dad and uncle. Bottom line is there are many more of us than them, I believe it's somewhere around 2000 of them, We can overcome this and build a new way of life for all of us.
Trump has his flaws, but the Republican Party is dead if Trump isn’t the nominee. That is why they are they going so hard on him. The party of Bush and Romney are literally dying. A ton of people will not even show up to vote if he isn’t the nominee.
Trump walked away with over a billion dollars more than any of his predecessors - he certainly didn't earn it for his looks! This is why I think they're fighting so hard to get him back in - it was a win-win for both - the swamp and him!
Even assuming that Trump really wanted to "drain the swamp" in the first place, once In office, Trump proved weak, stupid and easily manipulated.
That said, Biden and most of the remaining Team R candidates are, to put it frankly, insane.
Agreed - dark times. People are hanging their hopes on Trump ripping his shirt off and seeking revenge like a Marvel superhero. For any prediction of the future, look to the past. He'll be good at energy policy and keeping us out of foreign wars but little else.
If Trump actually can keep us out of foreign wars, he'll do better than Biden and just about any other Team R candidate.
*if*
Remember as C-in-C he was unable to get us out of Syria. He’s not the man they thought he was.
Exactly! The Dotard surrounded himself with proverbial "swamp things" such as Esper, Pompeio, Bolton, & Haley who helped frustrate any sensible policy change (e.g. US-DPRK rapprochement, Syria withdrawal) whilst goading his baser instincts (e.g. the assassination of Gen.

It's one thing to let government take your rights away through policies, legislation, and mandates. It's another thing entirely to let it take them away through action; by demonstrating that they have the ability to subjugate the will of the people, and the freedom to do so with impugnity.
Many critics of Trump interpret his arrests as proof that he is unsuitable to return to the White House.
FOREVER Unsuitable.

Dead on. His supporters are as demented as the haters.
My thoughts exactly.

Thank you Sam! BTW, are you familiar with the work of investigative journalist Whitney Webb? If not, please take a gander at this article. I believe you will find it illuminating: https://unlimitedhangout.com/2019/07/investigative-series/government-by-blackmail-jeffrey-epstein-trumps-mentor-and-the-dark-secrets-of-the-reagan-era/

Biden is the one that opened the vax up for all ages and mandated it!!! He continues to pump and print money out like crazy for hoaxes after hoaxes. Biden has been pre-paid to be a traitor. We cannot have another globalist president for another term. And that includes rinos who want more oil wars and China trade.
Free trade ruined my life and family. The only person that ever spoke out about it and China was Trump!!!! He gave us a good economy and no wars. He’s the only anti free trade, anti China, anti globalist candidate. The other candidates want to continue with their pro China agendas and ruin us.
China is in Cuba/Canada/ UK …. Everywhere! And no one is doing a darn thing to stop the great re-set coming.
Trump brought me to the dance and I’m sticking with him!!! There is nothing wrong with MAGA policies.
Early in 2016, Martin Armstrong described Trump's new administration as only a speed bump. That turned out to be true. Trump was so naive and green. I am sure another chance in office would make a difference; now he knows what to expect, but he's not getting inside again. They will kill him first.
Mr. Trump is a tough business guy, but that is nothing compared to the world of modern politics. The players have no soul. At least in business, you must keep the customer happy, or they leave. But in politics, they could care less about whether one lives or dies. Death is preferable to the politician because there are fewer upset voters to hear whine.
In 2020, a coup took place, but few realize this fact. The Neocons are in complete control. This is another Armstrong explanation of the current system. The Neocons have no interest in the economy, your money or health, or anything about us as individuals. The residents of Maui found that out with the $700 one-time check and a gun to their heads to sell their multi-million-dollar valued property. Get off the land, you parasites.
Prepare for the inevitable WW3; the Neocons are finally getting their wish of a Russian confrontation, with China being next. They are so evil they believe such a war can be won. They will instead destroy the Western World, your children, and grandchildren. This is the main reason that they hate Trump. Just like JFK, Mr. Trump will not go to war. That got Mr. Kennedy killed, and another successful coup was completed using President Johnson to engage America in a Southeast Asian civil war on the lie it was a Communist invasion. It was another deception for you and me to support a war—one of the many lies on the long list of war's past that has no end; so it goes.
I for one wouldn't bet on the American people ever having another valid presidential election. There is no reason for those who've installed themselves in power not to commit systemic election fraud again and again. There were no consequences for blatant fraud last time. Americans now have nothing but subjugation and subservience in their future.
You got that right - but I've always said the Democrats merely mimic the Republicans. Think back to 2000 and Bush stealing the election from Gore! Where'd the Democrats learn this? Then look at the war in Iraq started by Bush and Co and now look at Ukraine - same thing all over again! Monkey see monkey do!
I wasn't a party member for decades and couldn't care less about partisan politics (happily not my problem anymore) so yes, both parties have bad records but this fraud is a nation killer. The Bush Gore race was legitimately close and could have gone either way. This time Trump was trouncing Biden so badly perpetrators had to stop counting votes in states which were clearly about to determine the election decisively then they blatantly stuffed the ballot box and NOTHING was done to stop the crime and bring perpetrators to justice. In fact institutions which should have protected the American people (law enforcement, legislators, courts, media) all too often aided and abetted the crime. Democracy, hence your liberty, is done in the US. As yet faceless self serving authoritarians have seized power (Joe is obviously just a pitiful facade). You are now being dragged into a horrendous tyranny. Actually an appalling number of Americans are wandering into their enslavement like brainless livestock, but they are bound to experience a sickening wakeup at some point.
I could not possibly agree with you more!!!
Two things, listen to Robert Barnes explain all the things that transpired in Georgia - however this was not news to me per se if you've ever read John Funds books on voter fraud and how rampant and extensive it is! BTW it's not the presidential election that matters but rather the smaller lesser turn out elections for congress and senate that are the most important!
The mere fact that million of illegals are absolutely voting (unless an election is contested - less than 1% margin - or the person is turned in, there are NO consequences) in addition to the voting machines themselves and the list goes on and on and on - all the ways it's is completely CORRUPT which is the word Trump et al should be using rather than rigged - stolen and the absolute worst, cheated which are so incredibly juvenile!
Robert Barnes interview: (skip the Brit's parts he has nothing to add per se) listen to him explain all the ways in which it was corruption, on steroids!!!! It was so blatant!

Indeed systemic election fraud, political weaponization of "justice" systems, censorship/book burning, political violence, demonization/cancellation of those who don't comply, debanking, etc. One need not be a history expert to see yet another pack of pathological, self serving authoritarians is seizing power over a once substantially free society. This horrific process has played out many times through history. The best option, for those who can, is to leave before the control freaks slam all exits shut. Manipulative sociopaths don't handle rejection well and once they have enough power they will take delight in immobilizing/imprisoning those who aren't compliant with their desires (or worse).
Americans who are thinking of leaving need to understand something which I didn't know initially. To be free of DC you must renounce your US citizenship. Unlike virtually every other country in the world you can't simply expatriate...sadly. Provided your taxes are up to date the process of renouncing is quick, just two appointments at a US embassy or consulate and payment of $2,350 cash. However you must also have a second citizenship. Most Americans have no reasonable prospect of clearing that hurdle, so they are now trapped and in trouble.
Sure, Jeb was going to let it go Gore’s way…WAKE UP!!
Yes all true. But it was funded by Trump himself. He literally signed into law the CARES act which funded the whole scheme.
They make monkey out of you! No more!!
I think Trump learned a lot during his first term. His second term will be different.
Really? All of his proclamations show the exact opposite - he's LEARNED NOTHING. He is still touting the jab. He's now bashing DeSantis - who is more MAGA than Trump ever was - and who has been incredibly successful - facing the same Machiavellian Deep State apparrattus.
DeSantis is a front for Ryan Murdoch Bush Cheney Rove Chamber of Commerce ...Paul Ryan was Speaker of the House and thwarted Trump’s policies on immigration. Ryan blocked the Wall.
Lol. That's one of the more preposterous lies offered by Trump sychophants. One of the only Gov to buck the globalist agenda- DeSantis is the ANTI - RYAN in policy, word, action, world view.
And he'd chew his own foot off before taking a loan from George Soros- as Trump did.
“Lies” “sychophant” ?? Insults do not contradict facts. Who are Ron DeSantis donors? They are as I said.
No, they aren't. And I've already clearly demonstrated his actions against the globalists and the uniparty. Those actions span 3 years. He's having his AG investigate Pfizer and Modern a, and his Surgeon General BANNED the VAX for under 10 yr olds.
Chip Roy & Thomas Massie endorse him- two anti war libertarians.
You don't know how to think or connect dots, you only know how to PARROT.
Who are DeSantis’s donors?
No, he hasn't learned anything, ... if one thing is certain about Trump, it's that he's un-learnable. He'll certainly be consumed with vengeance and fury against lots of the establishment, justifiably so perhaps, but he'll do nothing to improve the lives of Americans. It'll be entirely his personal vengeance term, but I bet he does little productive to 'drain the swamp'. Trump IS the swamp, his appointments (need I list them?) proved this. And please spare me the explanations that Trump "trusted the wrong people" ... that just tells me he was either gullible or stupid, and that's not what I voted 2x for.
And as far as I can tell, he took all the same money from all the same people MAGA calls 'establishment' - so I suspect he's compromised as well ... either way, I'm in no mood for mulligans.
Me, too. We all saw and learned.
What makes you so sure?
What Trump said about the "vaccine"
"I recommend taking the vaccines. I did it, it’s good. Take the vaccines.” Donald J Trump, August 21st, 2021
"I hope everyone remembers when they're getting the COVID-19 Vaccine, that if I wasn’t President, you wouldn’t be getting that beautiful 'shot' for 5 years, at best, and probably wouldn't be getting it at all. I hope everyone remembers!" — Donald J Trump, February 28th 2021
"I would recommend it and I would recommend it to a lot of people that don't want to get it and a lot of those people voted for me, frankly." — Donald J Trump, March 16th 2021
"We have our freedoms and we have to live by that, and I agree with that also. But it is a great vaccine. It is a safe vaccine, and it is something that works." — Donald J Trump, March 17th 2021
"Get those shots everyone!" — Donald J Trump, December 17th 2020
“I guess in a certain way, I’m the father of the vaccine because I was the one that pushed it. To get it done in less than nine months was a miracle.” - Donald J Trump, April 29th 2021
"Everybody, go get your shot." — Donald J Trump, February 28th 2021
"It works incredibly well. 95%, maybe even more than that...and it is really saving our country and it is saving frankly the world." — Donald J Trump, March 9th 2021
"It will save millions of lives, and soon end the pandemic once and for all. These vaccines are also very safe." — Donald J Trump, December 11th 2020
"The Vaccine and the Vaccine rollout are getting the best of reviews. Moving along really well. Get those shots everyone!" — Donald J Trump, December 17th 2020
=====================================================
"Well, I got the Pfizer, and I would have been very happy with any of them. I thought a very bad statement was when they did a pause on Johnson & Johnson. I think that frightened people. That was a bad thing to do. At that time, when they did the pause, they had six people that may have had some difficulty out of millions that received it. But I think the pause was a very bad thing to do." — Donald J Trump, October 2nd 2021
=================================
"During my administration, everybody wanted the vaccine. There was nobody saying oh, gee, I don't want to take it. Now they say that. And that's because they don't trust the Biden administration. I can think of no other reason. But they say we don't want it, we aren't going to take it. When I was there, everybody wanted it and we were doing great. Well, the military did a fantastic job." — Donald J Trump, October 7th 2021
"I'm very proud of the vaccine, I've taken it, you've probably taken it. But I'm very proud of it. I think we could have another situation with the Spanish Flu, 1917, where up to 100 million people were killed." — Donald J Trump, August 18th 202
Through a partnership with FDEM and FDOH, Publix is receiving 15,000 doses of the Moderna COVID-19 vaccine to launch a new pilot program at 22 select Publix Supermarkets, beginning Friday, January 8. Appointments can be made beginning Thursday, January 7.
“As part of our ongoing efforts to increase vaccinations and put Florida’s seniors first, I’m pleased to announce this innovative partnership with Publix,” said Governor DeSantis. “At the end of the day, we are all in this together, and the state of Florida thanks Publix for their willingness to step up and lend their infrastructure to this critical cause.”
Hopefully Trump will wear one of his Never Surrender tshirts while he’s traveling around the country surrendering for all his indictments.
Although I vehemently agree with you about Trump, I completely disagree with you regarding Hillary Clinton!
First things first - for anyone who believes Trump was a billionaire or whatever before becoming POTUS you're out of your mind! He simply robbed from Peter to pay Paul to create the image that he was RICH! Hence going to the ends of the earth to hide his tax records, for years! Fast forward to 2020 after leaving the WH and having earned OVER one billion dollars! More than any of his predecessors! Obama left with roughly 650 million and the Clinton's certainly had more than when they too arrived! If anyone thinks Trump would now bite the hand that not only feeds him but also made him into what he always purported to be - you're also out of your mind The pharmaceutical industry gave him a million dollars just for his inauguration and therefore he will never ever denounce nor apologize for the lethal injections!!!! Lastly, the more times he's arrested the higher his donations - so he doesn't have to worry about legal fee's.
Re: Hillary
Imagine the debt that woman incurred touring the world as SOS when in actuality she was accepting donations to the Clinton Foundation telling everyone she would be the next POTUS! Imagine all the favors that were bought and paid for? That's why she's so angry! Not only is she massively indebted financially to all those who bribed her - but after losing to Trump of all people she became a nobody and a laughing stock!
She knew Biden was in decline and Kamila would never be chosen for anything! The time was now hers that is until RFK stuck his hat into the ring! She clearly had words with him ( he recently said he saw and spoke to her at some function) for him to then say (as in retaliate) something to the effect of there are no deplorables in this Country during his announcement speech! The ONE very word synonymous with Hillary Clinton!
A List? Your kidding right? There was not one persons name on that list of any great importance! Matt Damon? Ashley Judd? Seriously? McCains wife? Who knew she was even still alive? No doubt however she is clearly not up to something! Maybe they'll actually run Michelle Obama and this is about her running as her VP? Although politics (elections) are all about hunting season - and the RELEASE of Obama's love letters stating he had dreams of making love to men - was clearly a warning shot! They kept them hidden since 2008 and yet isn't it amazing they surfaced and were published now?
Trump said a lot of things to get votes ,and never rebuilt our infrastructure, never replaced Obamacare, never ended the wars in the Middle East, never drained the swamp just replaced some of it with more swap monsters, never united us, did not stop the lockdowns and promoted the jabs, even wanted his name on them, never had RFK Jr investigate vaccine injuries deaths and instead accepted 1 million from Big Pharma, never released the files on the JFK assassination (CIA Murder). Instead he enriched himself as well as his family not unlike the Biden's, who have done the same. He gave away trillions to millionaires and billionaires. He has a plan this time, for revenge, and not helping We the People. It's always about me me me, Trump is in it from Trump period. The only candidate with the Courage to stand up to the powers that be has proven himself again and again, for at least the last 20 years, and that man is Robert F Kennedy Jr. If he doesn't get murdered like his dad and uncle we have a very good chance to make our lives worth living again.
While I respectfully disagree w/you regarding RFK Jr. (IMHO he's 2024's "Sheepdog Sanders"), your appraisal of The Dotard and his dismal record is on point.
Is that why the Biden Admin refuses to give RFK Jr Secret Service protection? They want him dead just like his dad and uncle. Bottom line is there are many more of us than them, I believe it's somewhere around 2000 of them, We can overcome this and build a new way of life for all of us.
He’s an embarrassing clown and oh yeah, he poisoned the world and is incredibly proud of it. Phuck him.
Trump has his flaws, but the Republican Party is dead if Trump isn’t the nominee. That is why they are they going so hard on him. The party of Bush and Romney are literally dying. A ton of people will not even show up to vote if he isn’t the nominee.
"Nonetheless, The Swamp remains entirely unscathed, and now more powerful than ever."
...Exactly.
Trump walked away with over a billion dollars more than any of his predecessors - he certainly didn't earn it for his looks! This is why I think they're fighting so hard to get him back in - it was a win-win for both - the swamp and him!
