“When the Court slams the door, the Trump Team climbs out the window.” 😂 Best Quote Ever Mr. Childers! ❤️❤️❤️

Hana CL's avatar

And even better than the fabulous analogy is just how very TRUE that expression really is!!! The left and anti-Trumpers can say what they want, but Trump and his teams really are brilliant strategists!

To me the republicans need to learn a lot about law fare and use it when so needed if this is ever to be fixed. A presidential pardon does not stop the justice department from investigating, indicting, prosecuting, and convicting a person that has received a presidential pardon. Crimes against humanity, lying under oath, obstructing a federal Senate investigation, illegally funding gain of function viruses, having federal employees on the federal payroll filing paperwork for someone to get rich, etc. All of these crimes can be prosecuted even without a prison sentence. Once a person is found guilty of any of these crimes it would not only open them up to state and civil lawsuits, which I believe is what is deserved, it also would be grounds to strip them of a pension, federal benefits and all issued licenses. Makes sense to me. The democrats have no problem putting innocent people behind bars like Peter Navarro, Steve Bannon, Roger Stone and thousands of others. The communist didn’t seem to have a problem putting an innocent 79 year old former president in prison for 400 years! There’s a lesson here to be learned, if you live by the sword you die by the sword.

A diary, which is said by a plaintiff to be their own personal unredacted diary (big mistake), can prove so many lies and guilt. The Beaton down American taxpayer deserves justice to be served.

Agree 100%

Although what is being played out with the Supreme Court and the postal service may be great news it really chafes me that our government... the Senate is being allowed to totally disregard the voice of the people! They are supposed to work for us, the American people, not for their own personal gain or hatred of President Trump! This allows the government deep state to continue right on with their shenanigans! They need to be thrown out of congress and go back to their respective states with their tails between their legs!!!!!

Term Limits…. Would go a long way in helping us to get rid of the slimy mess that infiltrates that “honorable” elected body. Just don’t let them run again.

MCav's avatar

I agree that we need term limits with one caveat: we need to make absolutely sure that it doesn't lead to a takeover by federal bureaucrats who will be in place for their whole careers. That's the danger! We need very strong safeguards to prevent an entrenched bureaucracy from running our country.

Mary Ann Caton's avatar

What worries me about term limits is that the elected representatives will come and go, but staff stays on. And they are an immense source of bureaucratic know how and experience. A new congressman could be putty in their hands. Instead, I like to think of elections as a form of term limits. What we really need is a more informed electorate.

Susan Seas's avatar

If by “go back to their States” you mean GITMO, then I 100% Agree! 😄

Jane Tracy's avatar

So true! We, the people, have every right to vote these representatives OUT of office for NOT abiding by the will of those who actually put them there in the first place. Who do they think they are!?!?

CMCM's avatar

The vaunted, elite Senators act (or rather, don't act) with impunity because they know the voters don't really pay attention to anything they mostly don't do. Could the average voter describe what is happening with the SAVE act, do they know a single thing about the filibuster and how it's used? The answer is no.

Playfulatheart's avatar

But the democrats don't vote them out. Although they have that right, it seems they enjoy wallowing in their party's crap.

Hana CL's avatar

We not only have the right, IMO, we have the DUTY to vote them out if they refuse to do what WE the people want!

J Boss's avatar

The 17th amendment removed the states right to recall senators and turned it into a popularity contest governed by who has the most money to lie to voters before every election.

Repeal that, and we'd see RINO's start responding to the state's expressed priorities.

If you look in history, the Senate was purposefully established as a check against the house, where they were likely to be subject to the immediacy of the people's demands. The senate was supposed to be more deliberative and this was possible through the longer terms.

That doesn't mean we can't change the makeup of the Senate, but it will take time and be possible for more principled causes, not flash in the pan uprisings.

I'd love to see a roll call vote for the SAVE Act. That way we have a record of who specifically is against the effort to restore more election integrity. Also, I would like to see a record of who initiated a silent filibuster, but then that wouldn't be silent anymore would it?

We need transparency for accountability to occur.

DaveL's avatar

Good point, part of why we’re considered a republic and not a democracy.

Maha's avatar

Deb, all it takes is the people voting them out of office. Well, after getting past the cheating, ballot dumps, machine "errors", late night counts..."

Lisa Ricketts's avatar

That and actually running competent Conservative candidates, rather than people who pay to play and grift the electorate! We need to primary those Senators' that have a record of voting against the Constitution and with the Socialist Party.

In short, we need a bench full of "All Stars" ready to replace the aging and corrupt Senators at a moments notice!

Lisa Ricketts's avatar

Perhaps, the Senators that are obstructing are the ones that were elected with fake votes? Or perhaps, the obstruction of the "SAVE ACT" is orchestrated because it is the back-up plan if the USPS Bar Code tracking system is found to be unlawful or not ready to implement this election season. As we have seen with the Trump 2.0 Administration, there are many irons in the fire for various long term solutions to the Corruption that has infiltrated our Federal and State Government.

DaveL's avatar

Actually, the Senate was originally designed as a counter to popular rule. We’re a republic, not a democracy.

Patriotgirl53's avatar

I think the true value of the Senate fight about the Save America Act is to expose those who are anti-American and to help wake up Americans who are still asleep to the true war being fought.

Steve Stevens's avatar

How do you throw them out without letting a Democrat win?

Justin's avatar

Run a good Republican against them in the primaries.

Steve Stevens's avatar

And if no one runs, or someone does run but they lose because Trump endorsed the RINO we are trying to get rid of, then what?

Justin's avatar

Will Trump endorse a RINO? Cornyn was primaried out in favor of Paxton.

Steve Stevens's avatar

He endorses them all of the time.

We might not be stuck with Cornyn, right now, if Trump hadn’t endorsed him for the 2020 primary election.

And Trump had a hard time deciding between Paxton and Cornyn.

Roger Beal's avatar

Your list of crimes committed by Mister Science omitted mass murder. Mass generational murder, to be more specific.

J Boss's avatar

Agree! Can we get just a few of them to use it on Thune and the other RINO's?

DaveL's avatar

Right, it’s not supposed to be an exemption forever, for all laws.

I do not want to do away with the filibuster but I do want to go back to the days of my youth when these worthless airbags had to stand in the well and read the NYC phone book. Admittedly that would be hard today.

Valerie's avatar

Why, because some of them can’t read? Well, to all appearances anyway.

I propose the Bible would be a suitable and an upgrade from NYC phone book and it's still a best seller.

When I need to find a local business to do something I REALLY miss the Yellow Pages... the internet gives pages of 1-800 numbers looking to sell me something but not the local places doing what I need without a lot of extra work.

We've been using the (county specific) Christian Business Guide more frequently. Found my dentist, the driveway sealer.

I just got one for my county. I was amazed they still print them.

Patriotgirl53's avatar

Small Yellow pages are still printed.

Juju's avatar

Was this the plan all along? Carry on a war over the SAVE Act, even within our own party, all while they quietly pursue and put in place the real solution with less shrapnel to block it? The SAVE act pulls all the attention and hype, and there’s less media and lawfare attacking the USPS solution . . .

Valerie's avatar

Possibly, but more likely Trump has learned that he has to pursue things from more than one angle because he knows the Democrats and their accomplices in the press will block everything he puts in place. This makes it harder because there are just so manythings they can’t be outraged by all of them, even though they give it the old college try.

Valerie's avatar

That’s my theory!

Karmy's avatar

As Jeff has said many times, Trump finds the third way to get things done.

Jacquijacq's avatar

Not just their accomplices in the press, don’t forget their RINO buddies!

Not sure, I'm just glad Jeff C put some new hay down for us to munch on. Makes sense!

AM Schimberg's avatar

I'd feel better if it didn't hinge on the fickle finger of Supreme Court!

Ann Wass's avatar

I want to see the REAL filibuster continue. Let Senators who support or object actually stand up and speak about it, for days at a time if need be.

Alan Davis's avatar

I was hoping you would address this USPS ballot issue, thanks. It would help remove a lot of ballot stuffing but for us behind enemy lines of the west coast socialist states of Amerika it will not stop the fraud that happens after your ballot gets into the hands of the ‘counters’ in some warehouse behind locked doors. This is the great unknown and the verification system needs to be way more transparent.

Susan Seas's avatar

It’s all about who counts the ballots.

FrankInFL's avatar

It is, but when the actual number of mail-in ballots is known ahead of time (as it would in the barcode regime) it becomes difficult or impossible to find (quelle surprise!) a newly-discovered tranche of them.

CMCM's avatar

Excellent point!

Juju's avatar

And whether or not they count them twice

Susan Seas's avatar

I think they only allow people to count who learned common core math! Or is it leared cc math 🤭

I think one of the reasons Nixon is making a well-deserved comeback is that many of the people who for decades were constantly brainwashed by the media over Watergate have died or are dying. Younger people are looking at him through a different lens. Here is Bill Murray explaining to Joe Rogan exactly what happened and why ... someone else discovers how vile the media has been since the 70s, if not earlier: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3Q4Apy-WAb4

He was set up by Kissinger and Haig. A real coup. Always regretted not knowing.

Just like JFK.

CMCM's avatar

My very first vote ever for a President was to vote for Nixon in 1972 for his second term (In 1968 you still had to be 21 to vote and I was only 18). I always rather liked Nixon. My parents were conservative Republicans and my Air Force father was of course very worried about the Communist threat and his long military experience gave him solid reasons to feel that way. I had always thought the Watergate "scandal" seemed oddly ridiculous and overblown by Democrats, but until recent years I didn't connect all the dots of how the Deep State orchestrated it all and forced him to resign, events which I still vividly recall as an unspeakably sad and tragic thing for the nation. The Watergate thing is a child's tea party compared to things the Democrats have done in recent decades.

ViaVeritasVita's avatar

Hmm. And how many of those dead/dying suffered SADS? Because we understand that there is a close correlation between jab uptake and political persuasion.

Anne Emerson Hall's avatar

That was fascinating, particularly when it segued to Nixon staunchly defending the freedom of the press and then being asked about Deep Throat. Remember when we learned that Deep Throat was actually a disgruntled high level bureaucrat? Was he FBI or CIA? I can’t recall.

Alger Hiss was well-named. It's funny how people seem to become what their name implies. Be careful when picking names for Baby!

Fr. Wah's avatar

I always warn parents to do the playground test: imagine the child introducing himself on the playground -that unforgiving forum- with the name you are planning to give him.

Beckadee's avatar

Never name your bird dog after your wife or keep the same name [as was my families case], because sometimes that dog doesn't hunt and things get confusing real quick.

ViaVeritasVita's avatar

We always and only chose names of forebears (family practice on both sides). Nonetheless, I envisioned that baby introducing herself at a college cocktail party before settling on the name. Guess it worked.

Beckadee's avatar

It still saddens me that my nieces never bothered to do that.

Did you ever consider this about all the Bible names too? Very interesting and too strange to be coincidence.

I was a young aide to Republican Congressman Robert McClory, who sat on the Judiciary Committee and wrote the third Article of Impeachment against Nixon. Along with some speechwriting, I was his driver. We talked a lot during those rides - and he graciously took me seriously, even including me in some of his important private meetings so he could get my candid take later.

I was fascinated with Watergate. I was utterly baffled by the elevation of John Dean as some sort of hero. The release of the tapes proved conclusively that Dean was the architect of the coverup. The tapes proved he lied to the president, had lied to Congress, and had orchestrated all the bad things that followed the break-in at the DNC, until his "cancer on the presidency" talk with Nixon in March, 1973. This was the first Nixon knew of the organized cover-up...and was prelude to Dean's pandering to opponents in an effort to save his own skin. I asked how Dean could be a hero since everything following the break-in was HIS plan. McClory told me Dean was supplying important testimony and evidence. When the tapes came out and showed Dean had lied almost constantly in public testimony to Congress, self-righteously shifting blame for what he did to Nixon, the Congressman just pondered without answering.

It became clear to me, at least, that Dean was lionized simply because he was anti-Nixon. Just as now, there is nothing the press and Democrats so love as an anti-Republican Republican.

After Nixon resigned and Ford became president, McClory was jubilant and relieved. The closest I got to why Nixon was really pilloried was when, during a drive, he told me with uncharacteristic bitterness about how contemptuously Nixon routinely treated Republican Congressmen. It blew my 20-year-old mind that Nixon's support among Republican officials may have collapsed because he was socially awkward and routinely wounded putative allies' egos. Enough so that they let Dean's malignant lies stand after facts and timelines proved that Dean, not Nixon, was architect of the cover-up.

Ironically, during the summer of 1973, I was at a national convention of high school leaders (of which I was one). At the time, I considered myself a Democrat, as that was what my Dad was. But we had a bunch of prominent Democrat and Republican speakers. The Republicans notably struggled with doing what was good for the party and what was good for the country. The Democrat speakers were disgustingly gleeful over the political advantage they believed this gave them. I was having doubts through the week. Then the cloying Gary Hart gave a speech to us. He was not yet a Senator. His claim to fame at the time was that he had been George McGovern's campaign manager in 1972. It was smarmy, self-righteous, and encapsulated all the things that had given me pause in the preceding week. I walked into the assembly room still considering myself a Democrat - and walked out when he was done speaking a confirmed Republican. I have never looked back.

I don't think for a minute that Mark Carney has TDS. His team created and has curated TDS with great success. He sees Trump as the greatest threat to the control he and his royal banker buddies have exerted over the entire world since the beginning of the 20th century. Trump is an existential threat to the global order, which explains everything that has occurred since 2015.

"Think about it. The SAVE Act lacks any transparency mechanism." Au contraire mon frère! The mere presence of the SAVE Act causes rats to scatter and cockroaches to hide. In plain sight. To oppose it today will someday be seen as complicity to what will be revealed when Democrats struggle to get 150 seats in congress and ten senate seats. That's what they look like without the cheating, USAID, open borders, and rampant social services fraud. The SAVE Act may only do this one thing, while energizing the voter integrity efforts on the right. It's a brilliant campaign that pushes all the right buttons on both sides.

J. Lincoln's avatar

Now that the Deep State has been recognized for its role in the removal of Richard Nixon and its even more obvious (and ongoing) role in the effort to eradicate Trump, let's finally have some transparency in regard to the DS's role in the eradication of John F. Kennedy (and Bobby, Martin Luther King, Jr.).

As for Watergate, throw in the strange Woodward and Bernstein as reporters. Both had intelligence connections. When the mistress of JFK's was murdered, Bernstein was at her apartment coordinating with CIA for the retrieval of her diary. An uneducated Black male was accused of her murder. When Bernstein was on the witness stand, he didn't mention the mistress's (I think she was his wife's sister) connections even though an innocent man's life was on the line.
