I am convinced that the democRATs use blackmail to intimidate Republicans.
A well-organized Crime Syndicate has many tentacles and many evil individuals to conduct the dirty deeds. How do you eliminate their collectives? Their individuals?
Ex Illinois Governor Rod R. Blagojevich stepped out of line with Obama. Blagojevich was impeached and removed from office by the Illinois General Assembly. Blagojevich was convicted in a federal criminal trial for his role in the corruption scandal, and was sentenced to 14 years in federal prison.
The latest RAT casualty is Eric Swalwell. On his way to becoming the Governor of California perhaps he thought he was too big to fail. He must have ignored party orders to drop out so the party purged him out.
The moral of this story is this. If you don't Goose-step in formation in the party of evil you will be punished.

Great image that was in the article. It does beg a question though. Who is the party boss who has the final say? Who is their Stalin behind the scenes? Hillary Clinton? Barack Obama? Nanzi Pelosi? Only the Devil knows for sure!
I’m reclaiming my own time by going on a “fast” from all forms of media except educational and informational content that improves my understanding and appreciation of the world.
None of the news channels, podcasts, or other sources on either side of the political aisle are about communication. They are built on rhetoric. This is language that selectively manipulates facts and fiction to achieve a desired emotion or behavioral change in another. They know, like their advertisers, that “truth” is “perception”, and has nothing to do with what actually happens in the real world.
When I did my meditation retreats, I gave up my phone and all other media for the 10 or 20 days to cleanse my mind of the firehose of rhetoric poisoning it. This rhetorical “fast” is now a regular part of my life.
It’s hard at first, but you can find other things to do than listen to it and think about it all night as you toss and turn, stupidly worrying about events on the other side of the world. But it can save your mental life and serenity if you master it.
Why do the likes of Rubio, and Bessent sit for this crap? I’d stand up and tell Maxine and the rest of those rude, arrogant broads to go F themselves, and then walk out.
I believe in a fair system. Sort of like Chess. If the asker gets 5 minutes the answerer gets 5 minutes. I would bring out a chess clock and when the Congress Critter begins to ask their question, I would start their timer. Then when I began to answer, I would start my timer. If they interrupt me, their timer gets clicked back on. And so on and so forth. Even if it was just to show the idiocracy of the questioning and reclaiming time nonsense.
