Then there's the actual history of the term:

doge, (Venetian Italian: “duke”), highest official of the republic of Venice for more than 1,000 years (from the 8th to the 18th century) and symbol of the sovereignty of the Venetian state. The title was also used relatively briefly in Genoa.

In Venice the office of doge (from Latin dux, “leader”) originated when the city was nominally subject to the Byzantine Empire and became permanent in the mid-8th century. According to tradition, the first doge was Paolo Lucio Anafesto, elected in 697.

From the 8th to the 12th century the doge’s power was extensive, but all attempts to make the office hereditary failed. From the 12th century the aristocracy placed strict limits on the doge. Newly developed constitutional bodies took over many of the functions of government, and the doge on taking office had to swear an oath that restricted his freedom of action. During the same period, the main characteristics of the office were fixed: the doge was chosen from among the ruling families of Venice and held office for life. By the 15th century the office had assumed the character of prince subject to law.

Can't leave this out, from The Court Jester:

King Roderick: “Yes, the Doge did.”

Hubert Hawkins (Danny Kaye): “Well, uh, the Doge did what the Doge does. Eh, uh, when the Doge does his duty to the Duke, that is.”

King Roderick: “What? What’s that?”

When people understand that decades ago the FBI was investigating Epstein and his crimes and associates Trump was the ONLY rich guy in the elite class who would talk to them.

Copernicus's avatar

I was thinking a bit about an RFK appointment. I don't know how things work at the federal level. At the state level, Republicans are keen on ensuring all GOP candidates (especially grassroots, America First candidates) are Republicans in Good Standing. This means they must not be on public record opposing (not supporting) GOP officials or candidates, must not publicly support non-Republican candidates or elected folks, and at least in some states must have voted In Republican primaries of the last primaries in which they voted.

Now, The People in Charge also can waive all of these requirements (of course!) should a candidate THEY deem worthy and now representing Republican ideals show up without the aforementioned criteria. I have yet to see waiver granted to any America First candidates. However, slimy ones who look and acted like and sometimes even have been former Dems seem to have no problem getting waivers.

Anyway, I wonder if Trump is being strategic in what he is doing. I mean, actually we know he is. It may be a challenge to plop RFK - who ran as not a Republican - in front of a not entirely on board with Trump Senate and ask for a speedy confirmation. We shall see. Trump has to know the energy and voters that RFK brought to him. Surely he will not let him down.

daverkb's avatar

Copernicus, I think that there is a lot of real content in your comment. With the last four years with Trump, it certainly has not been business as usual. Rather, it has been a four years jammed packed with strategic planning, huge attitude shifting, the engineering of a counter-force presence, the kind with the ability to pull off the Trump win ... and no small order.

And now the people who used to have all the spades in the pockets and all the aces up there sleeves -- the Uni-Party types, swamp creature types, these are all now hanging in the wind, clueless as what to do next. Even the fake media babbling heads are now looking glum, totally deflated as reality and dwindling viewer base settles in on them.

And I am beginning to think that this, what we are seeing, is a deliberately engineered multi-generation attitude shift in bias, the kind that comes only in the two to five hundred year time frame. What ever is moving in the background across the Western World, it is big. And that is big as in Argentina and the United States, big in what is spilling over into EU-land ... and now upsetting the old Lib apple cart in Canada.

It is now more what people REALLY stand for rather than party ass-kissing politics dominating. That is, people don't care if RFK Jr. was or maybe still is a Democrat. They instead care more about the impacts of 'medical' injections and their horrific damage. People don't care that Elon voted nothing but Democrat for eons of Elon. They care about taking down the 'joke guberment' to size and about not being cancelled out.

And so real issues that affect people are now dominating the political air. This makes it tougher for political parties to run their old past support their fake candidate tactics scam to go on, because people just aren't drinking the old Kool-Aid like they used to do. Trump changed all that ... and so did DeSantis in the Sunshine State. And more and more people running for office are piling on the bandwagon. This time for that real change on can believe in, at least to all outward appearance (which are significant).

Keep a supply of antivirals on hand. The “expiration dates” are pretty much just a plan to make more money (a few antibiotics, like tetracycline excepted!). There’s a study somewhere (sorry I don’t have the link or which drugs were rested ) of 30 yo drugs; most were still perfect; a few lost a small fraction of their potency. Drug companies choose how long to test for potency. There’s no money in that when they can sell you more.

I was thinking a bit about an RFK appointment. I don't know how things work at the federal level. At the state level, Republicans are keen on ensuring all GOP candidates (especially grassroots, America First candidates) are Republicans in Good Standing. This means they must not be on public record opposing (not supporting) GOP officials or candidates, must not publicly support non-Republican candidates or elected folks, and at least in some states must have voted In Republican primaries of the last primaries in which they voted.

Now, The People in Charge also can waive all of these requirements (of course!) should a candidate THEY deem worthy and now representing Republican ideals show up without the aforementioned criteria. I have yet to see waiver granted to any America First candidates. However, slimy ones who look and acted like and sometimes even have been former Dems seem to have no problem getting waivers.

Anyway, I wonder if Trump is being strategic in what he is doing. I mean, actually we know he is. It may be a challenge to plop RFK - who ran as not a Republican - in front of a not entirely on board with Trump Senate and ask for a speedy confirmation. We shall see. Trump has to know the energy and voters that RFK brought to him. Surely he will not let him down.

Well Trump picked Tulsi for the administration already. She was also a Democrat. If he doesn't place Rfk then he never meant to , never trusted him and just wanted his voters which really did help Trump win. People who had Covid grievances etc. Trump must be having a lot of pharma donors because he is still avoiding the matter. Maybe in order to get his agenda through jabs will be mentioned last who knows...but to me it matters nearly the most. But Israels Bibbi is close to Trump and he was a jab fanatic. So I dont know if the jab thing is gonna go the way we want ever.

This is Trump's only YUGE failure, and he needs to redeem himself.

And it was not a free choice for people to get the jab or get fired. That's like saying that it's your choice to give a mugger your money in order not to get stabbed or shot.

Karma Patriot reminded us yesterday that Trump's moves may not be as they seem at first glance. Gaetz may be a "sacrificial lamb", and after he is not confirmed Trump nominates his best pick.

Then as Robin said, Gaetz will have another important role. But I for one DO hope Gaetz is confirmed. The rats are already scurrying in fear.

What you say is plausible, but I don't really know.

But we will find out a lot about the leadership class. For example, will the old Rhino crowd bend with the prevailing wind for the sake of retaining prestige, power and bucks, or will they dig in their heels? And in particular, will the Rhino Senators vote in Trump picks in the Senate or risk their careers by looking conspicuously anti-MAGA? And then there is this, that the organizational force big enough to have gotten Trump elected is also big enough to unseated certain people not with The Program. And I imagine some of these people might have control files on them as long as a tall man's long arm. (At any rate, it will be an interesting January and February this year.

Times change, and the Uni-Party of today is not the same Uni-Party as it was in the 1990s, or even the opening decade of the 21st century. Also, it is not the same Uni-Party of 2016, nor 2020. And with the 2024 election, it is looking like the old Uni-Party mirror has been shattered ... and that even the scattered shards are going to be stomped and scattered to the far corners.

We shall see what 2025 brings, but it looks to me like not only the United States is going to be restructured, but also the entire Western World. As for the Dems, they will either discard chic radical and woke or else just disappear just like earlier parties have.

It is now more profitable (unless what is trending changes) to think in terms of new departures that in terms of the old status quo. You and I, and a huge number of others like us are absolutely fed up. But the super-elite which guides the entire show is also fed up with all the nonsense which is now threatening their pockets and continued control ... and that is why we are now seeing epic alterations in vector forces applied, politically speaking.

Your post fails to acknowledge THE most critical of forces, God. He humbled them. He showed them who is really in charge. I thank God for the defeat of the super-elite and their bought and paid for uni-party members who also allowed the creation of the unaccountable deep state.

Lots of lamenting that the MSM did not cover the great accomplishments of Biden and the great economy! How he was one of the finest presidents ever, and Heather says there was record small business creation 'due to government programs' - "The administration encouraged that growth with targeted loans, tax credits, federal contracts, and support services." Having worked with small biz for almost 30 years - these programs & support services, are mostly lame, overpaid bureaucrats, and the last thing a small business needs is a loan with burdensome fees, and a personal guarantee. Lots of these 'govt contracting' businesses are minority business that allow the big contractors to check the box for the requirements for minority representation in order to get said fat contracts - subs are awarded by how many boxes they check - not merit or cost effectiveness. This is not economic opportunity, it's another form of back door handouts to buy votes.

So far I think Trumps choices have been solid at best and at least interesting or creative, but this one.... I don’t know.

Yes, we had a good s_Election, there is cause for some celebration and I sure love watching Trump pull together a new team.

However, four Senate races were lost to mail in ballot fraud - it should be 57-43 in the Senate! Instead it is 53-47. We have no idea how many house seats were stolen by mail in ballot fraud.

It could have been prevented with Omega's fraud catching fractal technology. Read here:

https://omega4america.substack.com/p/how-the-kari-lake-election-was-stolen

It also could have been prevented with an early ballot process that verifies Identity and establishes chain of custody, actually very easy to do but those in charge love determining the outcome of our elections.

Everybody will say COME ON, Arizona, Nevada, Wisconsin, Michigan should get their crap together. Please understand those states have been previously stolen by criminal NGOs bought and paid for by the Global cabal, uniparty, and deep state operatives. They were stolen using the fraud of mail in "early voting" and now they have cost us four Senate seats and it is uncertain how many other down ballot seats and ballot measures - example: A measure in Arizona to make it a constitutional right to murder children in the womb is passing overwhelmingly by a vote of about 61% to 39% - even though Arizona already had a law permitting this murder of children up to 15 weeks into a Pregnancy. A whole lot of American babies will be murdered as a result thanks to it being codified into our AZ Constitution.

We will never have certifiable, verifiable elections as long as we have programmable machines and mail in ballots. Please, call your Senators and your Representatives and demand they restore our elections by returning the election process to the people. It has been stolen by corrupt governments and bureaucrats. The most important right we have is the right to select who will represent us at every level of government. THE PEOPLE SHOULD CONDUCT AND COUNT OUR ELECTIONS, not corrupt/incompetent bureaucrats and unaccountable private "election systems" companies. We are STILL counting ballots in Cochise (there was only about 65K total ballots to count!!) and Maricopa and most other counties in AZ. It is unconscionable. What is happening in AZ affects you too and if you think they wont import ballot fraud to your state, please think again. California ballot fraud was imported to Arizona, Nevada, and New Mexico and it is creeping across the country to your state too.

I am celebrating the win HOWEVER it is obvious they stole seats. I also think the margin between her and Trump was much wider than what these numbers show. And lots of numbers don’t add up. It’s all wonky. I think “they” are fine with us focusing on the win so they can continue to perfect their cheat for future cheats. Look over there - while we do our secret stuff over here.

I am sure those ballot boxes down in Vancouver, WA being firebombed didn't have ANYTHING to do with Joe Kent being ahead. 🙄 And three of our initiatives went down in flames.

Was talking about this with the buddy last night. I agree, the selection stole dozens of Republican house seats, just like in 2022 where there WAS a red wave. And the wave voted for a Republican Senate that never materialized. You can’t tell me that the Great Herschel Walker got beat by the fake communist Reverend Warnock in Georgia? That was a gimme. Though this issue is a States problem, there has to be a legal way for the president to get his hands on this criminality. He could have each states US attorney work with the state attorney and bore down on the problem. Unfortunately, the states you mentioned that have this problem are controlled by the opposition. It seems the opposition is really good at finding dirt on Republicans. There’s got to be a way to find dirt on these dirty AG’s then put the screws to them. Like they do to us. Time to start throwing the punches instead of receiving them all the time. Wouldn’t surprise me if President Trump has a plan in place. He was ready for them in the battleground states.

I'm guessing, but guessing on what I was hearing. And that's Trump force behind him concentrated on anti-voter fraud, and with a particular emphasis on the swing states. And this effort to be successful.

And so, here's my guess. That the people behind Trump are not going to give up on this. Instead, they will widen their sweep and build on success. And if Administration Trump shows good results in 2025 and 2025, then the trend in motion now will only strengthen. Thus the second half of the coming Trump Administration might just be wildly successful. There is a new multi-generationally aimed ball game going on, the those behind Trump (and elsewhere) have already demonstrated that they are planning to win.

This would be some time in the making, a few generations, but I would suggest that with a re-crafted/re-vamped/updated system, including education and thus a trained, vibrant civic-minded and involved electorate (starts with education, gets implemented in every facet of society including designated time in the workplace - because we're more evolved by then) we no longer need full re-presentation [sic] like they did in the horse and buggy days of the founders.

With proper and accurate security measures built in to the voting software, The People can present themselves to vote on legislation from their connected computer. Legislators, re-presenting for their electorate hammer out single issue bills no longer than three pages in length, written in plain language. You get the picture.

The founders could never have foreseen the technology we have at our disposal.

No, I haven't worked out the details. Nor taken into consideration downsides or pushback from the established system along the development road. The point is, we're not restricted from travel to a central location like in 1783. We needed full representation/re-presentation then. Not the case anymore. From outside the box, for your consideration.

And I don’t believe in coincidences.

So, in my belief, Adonai tipped the President’s head AFTER the shot had been fired that was supposed to assassinate him. He had blood on his right ear, on his right thumb and his shoes were knocked off, resulting in blood on his right toe. Which is a whole other story, signifying.’anointing’.

So. No coincidence.

And no coincidence…..the sweet little Japanese dog-loving lady didn’t misspell ‘dog’. Her Creator had her spell it as He wanted it spelled. He brought it to the attention of, quite possibly, the busiest man in the world, who made it into a meme. And He brought you here to share the word’s history with us.

Not a coincidence, but a confirmation that His Hand is involved in, seemingly, the most minute, insignificant things.

I've been a fiscal conservative ever since, and despite academics who tie themselves in knots trying to say that the 'multiplier effect' of big govt spending programs is actually beneficial, they have never convinced me.

Steve Baker (journalist charged for J6 parading, etc) has recently publicly advocated for blanket pardons, quoting John Adams when he defended the redcoats at the time of the Boston Massacre… “I’d rather see 20 guilty go free, than one innocent be imprisoned.” I may have butchered that quote, but it’s something like that.

Doug may be right. But my real stumbling block is the near total lack of a real Christian Church in America and therefor a highly distorted moral view across the entire population.

I have come to believe that the debt problem may be manageable the way the Trump crowd seems to be head. It is a multi-pronged approach by outward signs. There also will be more dollar depreciation, just not at such a quick pace. Well, this is a guess. We will see what 'they' do now the Trump is now the new helmsman.

They deserve far worse than they this. They are scum and vermin, with apologies to vermin.

Let's see a Billionaire Anti-Commie version of Ted Turner buy up CNN so Commie News Network can easily be transitioned to Conservative News Network. Their halfhearted move toward the center and actual news was too little too late

Way too little. Barely even registered to normal conservatives much less liberals. They regularly doggy piled on any conservative host or guest to stifle their speech whenever they colored outside the narrative lines

"Their halfhearted move toward the center . . ."

This is merely their occultist capitalization on people's inability to recognize rates of change.

Maybe Elon Musk could buy either CNN or MSNBC and put Alex Jones in charge.

Finally being an hour ahead of EST paid off!

Ok, now that I was first, I'll delete it, because it is kind of childish (and I included "kind of" just to ease the deserved self-insult).

Well, In my opinion, not childish at all. I strive for first place every morning. 😜🤣

LOL, I was sitting here at my desk, coffee at my right hand, when the push notification on my phone came in from Substack, so it was almost like shooting fish in a barrel, getting in first!

Push notification?! Ah......so you don't sit at the keyboard, frantically hitting ENTER every 5 nanoseconds? Ain't technology grand!

Funny you should say that! I actually WAS hitting "refresh" in Outlook on my computer because I thought that was the more legitimate way to get in first. Probably hit it 5 times over the course of a minute.

But the darned computer (or my VPN, or my slow ISP) wouldn't update my inbox even though I knew that the C&C email was out there, so I grudgingly tapped on the push notification and went into Substack that way.

Made me feel cheap... ;-)

Puerto Rico. So for the next 4 months I get an hour's head-start on my (East Coast) clients (which usually just means I sleep in an extra hour), but I also have to wait until 6pm my time if I need to log into their computers remotely to do my thing after they leave for the day. So it's a double-edged sword.

I did this once. It was easy because of the notification drop down on my phone. Ever since that day I could have been first dozens of other times but I purposefully refrain so others can enjoy that glory too. 🤣🤣
