Former Vice President Mike Pence, former New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie and other Republican leaders who are considered potential contenders for the GOP’s presidential nomination in 2024 are planning to attend a private donor meeting in Texas next week.

The donor gathering, according to multiple people briefed on the matter, including contributors set to attend the meeting, is being organized at least in part by Karl Rove

Notably absent from the speaking agenda is former President Donald Trump, who has publicly and privately blasted Rove.

The event, called the “Texas Victory Committee Donor Appreciation Conference,” is scheduled to take place May 7 in Austin, according to an agenda first obtained by CNBC. It’s set to take place at the Omni Barton Creek Resort.

-snip-

Sen. John Cornyn, R-Texas, is expected to first welcome donors to the retreat. The itinerary says Pompeo will be first interviewed. Pence will then be interviewed, followed by others speaking in front of donors with Rubio, DeSantis, Christie and Cotton, among others.

"Trump is playing the odds."

I wish him luck. As much as I love, and respect the man, I respect myself and my core values even more. If he runs as a Republican, he won't have my vote.

John Cornyn again. He sure has been active since his reelection.

there's no way in hell a third-party candidate is ever going to come close to winning

So true.

Since 1968, not a single electoral vote has been EARNED by a third party candidate. (I use the word EARNED because I don’t want to count individual electors who occasionally vote for a non-candidate).

Yes, there we go. Now they can also invite Boehner and his pot-loving friends.

There Are No Longer Three Branches of Government, and DC Doesn’t Need a President to Operate The Modern System of U.S. Government

April 29, 2021 | Sundance 

 

UNDERSTANDING

THREAD/

1.) When I was in DC, doing deep research on the issues around spygate and trying to understand the depth of corruption within the legislative and judicial branches, I ran into a guy...

2.) DC was locked down at the time (May/June 2020), so there were very few people around. However, this guy's credentials within the DC system were impeccable. I checked him out afterward & was stunned at how he spent his entire career in/around the IC and related apparatus 

3.) After a lengthy and casual introduction and discussion, I was genuinely shocked at the severity of his warnings about the FBI, DOJ and various other agencies. However, in hindsight, after checking him out, I realized he was certainly a person to understand. 

4.) His warning was direct, devoid of emotion, very deliberate and very cold. But behind his eyes and words was a guy telling the truth; the quiet part that no-one inside the bubble says openly. 

5.) What he said was that not a single person of honor or integrity can survive inside the DC institutions we were discussing. The system itself is designed to remove them... All of them... every-single-one. 

6.) He laughed at the term "honorable" rank and file. But it wasn't a snarky laugh; it was almost like a resignation laugh... a genuine look toward the sky and compassion for a view I held that his honesty would destroy. 

7.) He wasn't bitter, angry or jaded; and I would not call him cynical. He was very genuine, very wise, held decades of knowledge.... and was a "just the facts" kinda Joe Friday guy. 

8.) I found out a few days later his job within the system was sending him overseas again. Perhaps that's why he apparently wanted to tell the genuine side of his story and experience. Dunno, but I will never forget it. 

9.) I still held the belief there were three branches of government.... and there were "checks and balances"... and there had to be some way for a good person to expose corruption. He quickly dispatched those beliefs (with examples). 

10.) He explained the "checks and balances" I spoke of did exist at a time when there were three branches of government. However, that time has long passed. There is only one overarching DC eco-system now. The three branch concept is gone. Doesn't exist. 

11.) As he explained, the levers of power are all controlled by the same system, and behind that system are positions - not people. "Positions" 

12.) People are evaluated based on their ability to support and protect the system. Their skill level is what moves them into position. Position. Evaluation. Next Position. Evaluation. Etc. 

13.) The system more like an institution. Within the institution there are divisions. The divisions are what we used to call "branches". The divisions (branches) are not independent from the institution of DC. The divisions are operated by people in power who hold positions. 

14.) He identified the timeline of this institutional creation as a slow build (over decades), but most visibly increasing in publicity after 9/11/01 and the patriot act. 

15.) Once the patriot act made the government responsible for total safety; the previously embedded bad actors took full control. One office of particular note was the creation of the ODNI. As he noted the amassing of surveillance power. 

16.) once that Rubicon was crossed, everything after was downstream and unstoppable. The institution of the total intelligence apparatus now had full control.... over every branch (which again, he said is more like 'divisions'). 

17.) When he explained about the Inspector General part, I understood why the IG's offices (all of them) are compromised.... and why there can never be a whistleblower against the system. Remember the "positions" part. Yeah, the IG's are key on that aspect. 

18.) When he explained the legislative committee heads, he also explained how 'advise and consent' is used to keep the (executive) positions staffed only with particular people who have passed the institutional evaluation. 

19.) He would know... his experience was deep in the part of the system that does the evaluation.

Control of the people in the system, is done from the place where checks are done 

20.) This is the place where people of honor and integrity are weeded out. They are a threat; or really not so much a threat, but just the "wrong type" of people. Said with a very matter-of-fact acceptance. 

21.) One of the key institutions who do the background checks is The FBI.That is why the FBI had to be compromised first in the structure of the new (post 9/11) system.

22.) Once you realize there is only one party, the UniParty, the next step is to recognize there are no longer three branches within government. Then everything that has previously created frustration starts to make sense. 

23) The discussion about there no longer being three branches of government was an eye-opening part of the talk... But if you think about it, it makes sense.

24) Here's the exercise he sent me away with. If you doubt this thread, apply the scientific method to the hypothesis. Show me a single example where they don't. 

/END

Pat Buchanan didn’t get one percent of the vote in 2000.

"Well, pray tell, who WOULD you vote for????"

Nobody with an R behind their name, which means I won't be voting at all, ever again. At almost 74, and with over 40 years of support for the Republican Party, I cannot, and will not, vote for any candidate of the party that doesn't respect me enough to protect my vote. My voting days are done.

Gathering of the RINO’s and fake conservatives, appropriately in the communist outpost of Austin.

That's his choice. I have mine as well.

That's not his "choice." That's called REALITY. That's why he ran as a Republican in 2016 in the first place.

His only alternative would be to drop out of politics altogether. I guess that's his choice. I'm not sure what that accomplishes if we end up with Democrats running against useless establishment GOP candidates for President every four years for the rest of our lives.

Good luck with that. Your post explains why New York State has been getting buried deeper in a pile of sh!t for as long as I’ve been alive.

Correct. Georgia still has Dominion voting machines. Absurd. I know there has been new voting laws passed but who goes by laws anymore? Certainly not the Dems. They will do whatever they need to win.

"Your post explains why New York State has been getting buried deeper in a pile of sh!t for as long as I’ve been alive."

Since I've been voting Republican in New York State since the early 80's, you'll have to blame someone else for what's gone on here all those years.
