The Deep State will not sit still for a leash........
Resistance from the swamp
Trump beat back again?
I thought the Deep State was on the run?
The Deep State wins far more times than they should. Bodies need to start piling up and soon.
” Trump had been assured by allies before selecting Ratcliffe that he would be an easy pick” -— Who are these “allies?” Are they stupid, naive, or nefarious?
I see the never trumper’s have come on the thread crowing! Trump will pick someone just as anti-deep State and get him through. The important thing is getting rid of Coats.
Trump will only have himself to blame if he appoints another deep stater
to DNI.
It is really excellent when a boss warns you about the pitfalls of a potential promotion.
Recess Appointment Time!
I think both houses are in a state of recess at this moment
Admiral Rogers?
There is a Q guy on twitter who said ratcliffe would never be nominated. Red herring and then Acting person would take over. Rosenstein seems to think it’s a woman named sue gould
Who are these unnamed Senators? If they are Dems we don't need their votes. If they are Reps, they are traitors and should be outed. Exposing Mueller so the world could see his ineptitude and corruption should not disqualify Ratcliffe from being DNI.
Well, casualties do happen when you try to take on a deeply entrenched political establishment that has the full support of EVERY SINGLE establishment in society, most of the large financial interests and at least half of the population of a nation.
Don’t think this will be straightforward or bloodless. And yes, you are, for a very long time, going to suffer as many, or more, defeats than you will enjoy victories.
We should at least show the intestinal fortitude that our parents and grandparents showed in WW2...this opponent has a lot more money and power (and we have fewer allies) than those enemies had.
It was Republican Senators that killed this.
He’s a great asset in Congress so that’s the good news.
Occam’s razor says he couldn’t pass the FBI background check. And no Trump appointee who is the least bit threatening to them will ever pass again.
The Establishment hates conservatives.
Sorry to say this, but I believe it is good news.
We need him in congress.
The process isn’t good news. The process sucks.
But the outcome is good news.
Remember when voters paid no attention to such appointments and couldn’t name any of them? Now everyone thinks they have to micromanage everything.
