“The Republican Party has just handed President Joe Biden a huge win, at a moment when his approval numbers are abysmal.”

Not sure that’s true, but in any event it’s not really about Biden.

Some of the R’s are globalists. Some are compromised.

We don’t necessarily know which are which.

But I think we all need to recognize that we have no hope of having people who will represent we the people rather than their own best interests or the interests of the Deep State controllers.... if we don’t get rid of the Deep State.

That is the prerequisite for any change. No matter who we put into office they will end up as hamburger unless we get rid of the meat-shredder that is the “six ways from Sunday” intel communities.

That is something that ANYBODY who loves our Constitution should be able to get behind.

Was it Alex Vindman who falsified an email so that it said the exact opposite of what it really said, when applying for a surveillance warrant to the FISA judge? Whoever it was got only a slap on the wrist, probably because they are in the federal government. Any joe blow off the street would be sitting in the slammer for the same. It is DEAD WRONG that those in government get LESS punishment for their crimes simply because they’re in a position to have more responsibility. That has to end.

Those within the government who have committed crimes need to receive MORE punishment than the average Joe because they are depriving the public of their ONLY chance to have a functioning government.

I think there is a civil charge that can be made for “depriving the public of honest government” or something like that. I’m looking for legal eagles who can help us all to brainstorm what we can do, either collectively or as individuals, or through our state officials, to fight the Deep State. Can anybody steer me in the right direction?

“Former FBI attorney Kevin Clinesmith, 38, pleaded guilty today in the U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia to a false statement offense stemming from his altering of an email in connection with the submission of a Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act (“FISA”) application, announced John H. Durham, Special Attorney to the Attorney General.”

Thanks. My brain has holes in it sometimes.

Why is that dude not sitting in prison for perjury?

And why is whoever let him off the hook not in prison for obstruction of justice?

And most importantly, how can we the people petition the government for a redress of those 2 particular grievances?

Kleinsmith and all the others who participated in the attempts to deny Carter Page and Mike Flynn of justice should have all been charged with conspiracy, and whoever tried covering their legal behinds should have been added to the conspiracy charges too.

We get rid of the Deep State by throwing government criminals in jail, no matter how low or high up the chain the criminality goes.

How do we get that ability? Without that ability, this is not a country under the rule of law, and it’s not even a representative form of government either.

Agreed. Almost no one cares about Ukraine. Donald Trump did not take a position for or against the bill so to try to imply that he did is dishonest.

On foreign policy, the parties often are split in different ways. Some people don’t think Putin is worth being concerned about, others do. At the end of the day, regular Americans care more about inflation or the state of society around us.

That’s surely what I’m most interested in.

Congress controls the purse strings of the government.

The Republicans in congress continue to increase the funding of the corrupt agencies.

Their constituents don’t want corrupt agencies to be funded but they keep reelecting the same people who keep increasing the funding.

People get the government they deserve.

Tucker Carlson flat-out stated that members of Congress have told him they are afraid of the CIA. Chuck Schumer says if you go against the intel community they have “six ways from Sunday at getting back at you”.

I think if we want to truly get at the reason that elected officials go against their constituents, we should start there. Sure, many of them are probably globalists at heart but I bet a lot of them are owned by the CIA. Not necessarily through their own fault either, given that the CIA and FBI can plant whatever they want on a person’s computer AND they can threaten families of officials and carry out those threats.

And if that is the case, then people are NOT getting the government they deserve, just as they’re not getting the government they deserve if an election is stolen from them. And in both those likely instances, blaming the elected ones is only going to insure you get the same no matter who you vote for.

We ignore all of this at our peril.

While no method is foolproof. I haven’t been too far wrong in correctly identifying which R’s are globalist RINOs and which are grassroot Rs if they are dues-paying members of the U.S. Chamber of Crypto-Fascist, Crony Commerce.

I agree with you about the deep state and the intel agencies. But don’t expect Chamber RINOs to do the same.

It would be nice if somebody asked the COC candidates about their stance on the Deep State. Could be instructive.

Even if a candidate is gung-ho for the Deep State I’d vote for them if they had an R behind their name at this point - with the promise that once we get rid of the Deep State I’d deal with them as their own individual stance deserves. If they were threatened then thy should straighten up once the threat is gone. If they hate the Constitution even when they’re not a Deep State puppet, then good-bye to them.

A well thought out, WISE post. We need to be strategic when deciding when to take our shots.

And I say that because I believe it is critical that we get/keep R majorities in House and Senate in addition to putting Trump in office, so that the R’s still control the committees. I’m hoping that by then the committees will have some criminal referrals ready for an AG with integrity - even if it’s an interim AG like Matthew Whitaker - so that AG can hit the ground running, to shellac the Deep State players.

He pled guilty and got a suspended sentence and was disbarred for a year. His guilty plea was the only win resulting from the 3 1/2 year John Durham investigation.

He got no time in prison.

While grannies who walked through the Capitol after being waved in by the police serve hard time.

Spit.

Judge Boasberg is the FISC judge who was lied to. It’s like he’s saying, “I won’t punish this guy for on-duty rape; I liked what he did to me.”

Spit spit spit spit.

I wonder if Montgomery has any record of Boasberg being spied on.

McConnell today said PResident Trump shouldn’t be exempt. Talk about a knife in the back.

“Not sure that’s true, but in any event it’s not really about Biden.”

It is about Biden, since this is TOP ISSUE that the Democrats are running on. But even so, you may have a point - now the money is flowing...but what about weapons? Will China, North Korea, or Iran sell us weapons to give to Ukraine? I kind of doubt it. And without those countries helping us, Ukraine won’t be getting jack, as the West’s industrial base (what’s left of it) is in NO CONDITION to produce the weapons that Ukraine needs, due to decades of flat-out NEGLECT.

So then what - another $61B spent, no results - Russia keeps marching West. Not pretty for the Dems (or RINOs).
