He’s bringing that crap to a screeching halt.

Aside from midnight raids by Special Forces commandos and immediate Gulfstream flights of black-hooded passengers to Gitmo, how could Trump possibly halt it? He hasn't even slowed it down yet - but the mere hint that he might expose a tiny corner of it to public view has thrown the perpetrators into a blind panic and created the current impeachment frenzy.

The thing they seem to fear is that the Deep State's puppet masters might decide that due to media exposure their individual performances have been inadequate and dismiss them from the game - with extreme prejudice.

Shoring up the idiot vote in PA.

Tom Ridge has virtually zero influence with voters in Pennsylvania at this point. 73% respond "a mountain ridge in the Laurel Highlands"

Hit him where it hurts. In his wallet.

The following is a list of firms Ridge works with and probably makes top dollar at.

Well, we as patriots don't have to do business with Ridge's paymasters, no?

From Wikipedia:

Ridge is the founder and CEO of Ridge Global, an advisory firm in Washington, D.C.

Ridge served on a state-appointed incident review panel which investigated the Virginia Tech massacre of April 2007.

RIDGE-LANE Limited Partners

Ridge is a co-founder, along with investment banker R. Brad Lane,[27] of RIDGE-LANE Limited and RIDGE-LANE Capital, a merchant-bank that sponsors urban development projects, public–private partnerships (P3) and economic development programs, as well as corporate development services for private technology companies.

Ridge Policy Group

In 2010, Ridge's two former Chiefs of Staff, Mark Campbell and Mark Holman, opened a lobbying firm after Ridge lent the firm his name. The full-service government affairs firm has offices in Harrisburg, Pennsylvania, and Washington, D.C.

In July 2010, companies seeking to use hydraulic fracturing to extract natural gas from the Marcellus Shale formation engaged Ridge and Ridge Policy Group at $75,000 a month to help them gain support.

Home Depot

In February 2005, Tom Ridge was named to the board of Home Depot.[32] Ridge's compensation was expected to be about $100,000 per annum for this position.[33] Since April 2005, Ridge served on the board of Savi Technology,[34] the primary technology provider for the wireless cargo-monitoring network for the United States Department of Defense.

Exelon Corporation

In April, 2005, Ridge's appointment to the board of the Illinois/Pennsylvania/New Jersey electric utility was announced, with starting director compensation of $35,000 annual retainer plus a $1,500 meeting fee or per diem fee. Directors were also granted $60,000 in deferred stock units each year at that time.

In 2010, it was reported that Ridge had appeared on MSNBC Hardball With Chris Matthews promoting nuclear energy as part of a "green agenda [to] ... create jobs, create exports," without any revelation by him or the cable channel of his Exelon position. In the report, his cumulative Exelon-derived compensation was put at $530,659; and it was said that, as of March 2009, he held an estimated $248,299 in Exelon stock, according to SEC filings. Exelon was described as "the nation's largest nuclear power company."

Deloitte LLP

In November 2006, Tom Ridge was announced as a senior advisor for Deloitte & Touche USA LLP.

The Hershey Company

In November 2007, Ridge was named to serve on The Hershey Company's Executive Board. The Hershey Trust, the primary shareholder of Hershey, asked for a change in board composition after several years of poor stock performance. The board named Ridge to the board for his knowledge of economics.

TechRadium Inc

Announced in January 2008, Tom Ridge will serve as a senior advisor to TechRadium, Inc., a Texas-based security technology company that provides its patented alert and notification system, IRIS (Immediate Response Information System), to a wide range of users including municipalities, public schools and universities, utilities, and military programs.

PURE Bioscience

In September 2009, PURE Bioscience, creator of a patented antimicrobial, announced Ridge would serve on its advisory board along with former Wisconsin governor Tommy Thompson.

Tom Ridge leaves me disappointed and troubled. He was better as a governor than as a deep state RINO apparatchik.

Trump is good at flushing out the RINOs, deep state traitors, and other assorted vermin.

Former popular PA Governor deciding to try to throw PA to the dems. I’d spit in his face if I had the chance.

This guy was fired in 2006. They should listen to him just as much as they listen to ME.
