I never realized it before but staffers are incredibly powerful. They do all the work, prepare the information they want to be put forth, and present it to the congressperson or Senator in a neat little package, who in turn, espouse it and vote accordingly. I’m sure every congress critter doesn’t operate that way, but I’m betting most do. They’re too busy campaigning for the next election than doing the work themselves, especially House members.
You are the optimist, I'd give it 10, tops.
>> Is Mr. K a tattle-tale Karen?
Yep, she’s a REGULAR here! And she knows the manager!
Oh yeah, that is their role.
It is tiresome and juvenile to try to belittle people personally. It generally shows no intelligent point to be made.
They are Kevin McCarthy hires with a lot of clout who have chosen the lobbying route.

Please. McCarty’s supposed mortal sin was, he offered a budget full of actual cuts, while he was working on individual spending bills to do away with the Omnibus (that Ryan and Trump left in place), but Gaetz wasn’t happy with the time allotted to review the cuts.
So the Omnibus lives on, and we may never see another Congressional budget that includes cuts ever again. It’s a complete unmitigated disaster, and there are people who are responsible, but it’s certainly not McCarthy. Not that I liked him, but he was much better than this sellout who replaced him.
That would be an interesting "big picture" tactic. He has paid dearly, however, for the results and those payments will continue, if not forever at least for a while longer.
IMO, he didn't have enough of a team behind him to use such a tactic.
He remains the best chance we have, however, and we should hope his next Admin and every member of congress that wears an R provides the support he needs to actually drain the swamp.
good riddance to those RINO’s.
please take judas Johnson with you!
The deep state has only grown in power, and flexed its muscles like never before, since Trump came on the scene. We made some limited progress in 2017 and 2018 while we had all three branches of government, but since then the power of those in control has gone off the scale, especially in 2020.
Maybe that will change, and I will vote for him as the only half decent option, but when he’s talking excitedly about the new FBI building, etc, I’m not expecting much to change. Just more theater, while we lose the actual fights on the proverbial battlefield.
Aw, geez ... you ... still with your severe TDS.
Take another break, and, give it a rest, please.
🤔
Hi Jane, hope you’ve been well. I don’t have TDS as I plan to vote for him, I’m just a realist as to where we are now, verses where we were when he first became President. That’s not all on him course, but he’s hardly going to be our savior, either.
Here’s a pretty good rant from last night that summarizes things I think, if you have time to watch.
The DSC is being outed, thus it may seem to you that they have grown in power. But, in every instance where they appear to have grown, in the end they are weakened.
while we had all three branches of government...
Um, no, bear in mind the Uniparty. Remember, there are only two parties, the Patriot/MAGA/KAG/Constitutional party, and the treasonous Uni-Party. So, the whole feral govt, with perhaps 10 tops of the 535 truly in the patriot party, it's all gotta, and it is, coming down.
Where you see the glass as half empty, I see it is *FULL* Full.
Don’t hold back!
I take it you don’t much care for Mike Johnson. 😅
I admit I only skimmed the second part of your post, because you were praising Trump’s EO’s, which were mostly a WEF wet dream. Streamlining phony vaccines, bolstering GMO food, advancing 5G and AI, even eventually handing out “free” rent and college. Then your link to supposed sealed indictments sounded like pure Q nonsense.
See the link to the video I just posted which discusses how big bankers and perverted billionaires, pushing the homo agenda and deadly shots (both of which Trump coincidently supports) through our various levels of government are our true enemies, not these cutouts representing political parties. I don’t agree revolution is the answer, but since you originally mentioned that it’s important to identify the enemy, take a look at that and who is identified as the true enemy. Deep state is just a tool, not the root.
He started it! :P
That explains things somewhat. They see Mike Johnson’s star diminishing and are getting out while the gettin’s good.
yeah.. the quality of freeper seems to be inversely related to their time on FR - anyone who joined after the year 2000 and especially after 2010 I find to be immediately suspect.
I am seeing the same name-calling entitled-snot behavior you see among many of that generation. [where “OK boomer hee hee hee” is considered the pinnacle of wit]
