If she’s good enough for the corporate world she’s certainly good enough for the political world.

Very few people could ever dream of doing what he did under the circumstances.

Well said.

"Republicans in general are weak. They are simply not fighters. You can’t win wars without fighters."

I wish I didn't have to agree, but I do agree.

In many respects, Trump was the president in name only.

The DOJ, CIA, NSA, FBI etc just gave him the middle finger, with a smirk.


Agree. I’d rather have the truth about the swamp now from Trump now than have him pulling his punches and trying to recreate a GOP coalition to run again in 2024. It’s time to throw the coupist GOP overboard. My family has no interest in voting GOP in 2022.

Wray dragged his feet, because he knew the fix was in on election 2020..


Wray dragged his feet because he had bipartisan top cover. 2020. 2024. No difference. The GOP Senate in particular was the lynchpin of the coup because there never was an threat of substantive oversight of the deep state.

The bureaucracy is tough and will do extraordinary things to protect itself. Their view is that presidents come and go, but the bureaucracy is permanent. They know how to defend their empires.

Being from the private sector Trump was used to having his direction followed. He wasn’t used to insubordination and people putting their self interests above the company.

Once one agency was able to frustrate him it opened the door for the rest of the agencies to do the same.

Trump never really established control over the bureaucracy IMO.


IMO, it all hinged on Trump’s first year. 2017. Gowdy has said he knew the FBI was lying to Congress regarding FISA and did nothing about it. President Trump’s term became a dead letter once it became clear in 2017 that the GOP was fully supportive of the coup. Trump was never going to win a political battle with the bureaucracy, media, Democrats AND his own party. I wish it was different but it is what it is.

I always suspected Patel was a Nunes prober.

She is a wonderful person and thinker, and I hope she can acquire more training over the years, so she can indeed take a government role if the opportunity presents itself. Right now, she is enjoying the blessings of being a new mom.

His own party undermined him. Worse, they undermined what their own voters wanted their president to do.

With strong backing and support from the GOP he could have achieved better control over the bureaucracy, which is almost entirely staffed by liberals now.

In short, the GOP betrayed him — and us.
