 pcr has a very valid question for cheeto;


Can Trump Succeed?

Paul Craig Roberts

There’s many a slip between cup and lip

I have been speaking with MAGA Americans and, as I suspected, there is little comprehension of the vast impediments to renewal.  The swamp that Trump is to drain is entrenched and institutionalized, but Trump supporters think that with Trump elected and the Senate and House in Republican hands the job is done.

Nothing could be further from the truth.  The majority of Republicans in the Senate and House are RINOs, not Trump supporters.  They are part of the establishment and comfortable in it.  Mitch McConnell is forever as he is in the process of demonstrating.  This Wednesday McConnell is holding the election of the Senate Majority Leader.  His two candidates, chosen without any input from Trump, are John Thune and John Cornyn, neither being MAGAs.  Senator Rick Scott, more likely to be helpful to Trump, is running against the establishment’s candidates.  If the establishment prevails, Trump’s strong appointments are likely to be blocked or to languish unconfirmed.  The prospect of being blocked can discourage an appointee from accepting the appointment.

The establishment can also hamstring Trump by rushing through many unfriendly judicial appointments.  Trump Americans need to understand that the enemy has not folded its tents and left the field.

You must admit, it’s a little spooky how quickly and rigorously Mr. Trump intends to deconstruct those parts of the government at war with the people: clean out “rogue bureaucrats,” firehose the malignant agencies, release and expose their document trails on spying, censorship, lawfare, and abuse-of-power. The consequence would be the return of consequence in our national life. It’s been absent for so long you can hardly imagine its power to get people’s minds right.

      There are already reports of frenzy among the culpable DOJ lawyers, and FBI Director Wray is set to resign before Mr. Trump can fire him. Attorney General Merrick Garland has gone radio-silent for his own good since Election Day. Expect many abiding mysteries to get unraveled, such as exactly how many federal agents did work the crowd around the Capitol on J-6, 2021 — which Mr. Wray has pretended to not be able to discuss “due to ongoing investigations.” Expect to learn more about the pipe-bomb caper at the DNC HQ a few blocks away that same day. Prepare to be amazed at how deeply criminal these schemes were. You must wonder if the document-shredding party is already underway, despite calls to preserve all the emails, memos, and texts........more......

 twenty four minutes with george galloway in which you discover, among other things, that 'our free press' is owned and operated by persons who aren't acting in our favor to the point of being able to coordinate lies world wide;

watch.....

 six minutes with the decoy voice speaking about a thing i've been seeing all too much of in recent times. the main and following arguments i've seen coming from what i'd call the 'left' are trump is a fascist who loves hitler and wants to do the same here. they have no facts to use in the conversation. their plan is, evidently, to scare you into doing their bidding. there have been several examples this am but this was too solid not to post;

watch........

 ten minutes with the librul hivemind speaking about cheeto's intentions concerning free speech. its the sort of thing that aught to be posted every day but i'm getting too many of those already;
