Murphy was front and center pushing Trump /Zelensky lies and impeachment. Here is this beauty from 2019 : "Senator Chris Murphy (D., Conn.), who traveled to Ukraine in early September, told reporters this week that he had heard "directly" from Ukrainian president Volodymyr Zelensky that Zelensky felt pressured by Trump to investigate Hunter Biden's involvement with Ukrainian gas giant Burisma. But according to a tape of a briefing Murphy gave two weeks ago about his meeting with Zelensky, Murphy made no mention at all of such an allegation."

I think there is a bit of kabuki here. She tells leadership what she wants to vote against and she gets permission when they don't need her. If they need her, she's probably there.

Trump really needs buyin to ram through recission resolutions that take back the money stolen by the Biden junta and to not keep spending on ridiculous items noted by DOGE.

Patel and Trump get to collaborate in lower agency officials in the FBI and there are some positions in the AG office, DoD, and HHS that need approval such as the new head of SSA.

Trump really needs buyin to ram through recission resolutions that take back the money stolen by the Biden junta and to not keep spending on ridiculous items noted by DOGE.

Patel and Trump get to collaborate in lower agency officials in the FBI and there are some positions in the AG office, DoD, and HHS that need approval such as the new head of SSA.

I'm reminded of the story when in Trump's first term he met with the head of the Taliban to discuss the US withdrawal from Afghanistan. Trump, Interpreter, and Taliban Head:

Trump: You harm one American, I will kill you and your family.

Interpreter: Looks shocked

Trump: Go ahead, tell him what I said

Interpreter: Tells Taliban leader what Trump said

Trump reaches into his coat pocket, pulls out a picture of the Leader of the Taliban's house, hands it to him, stands up, and walks out of the room.

Boom.

To make Trump's EOs stick, he needs congressional approval of resolutions, budget bills (which enable reconciliation to bypass filibuster) and so on. Getting the tax cut extension is easy, funding Border Patrol, getting rid of a bunch of useless positions and spending, etc. is difficult.

Pen and phone only take you so far as both Biden and Obama are finding out now. Any new prezzie can eliminate them and the bureaucracy has become a giant opposition party in waiting to the GOP President so he has to slash hard and deep before the midterms.

Trump has his team in place. Basically every pick that the pundits said had no chance of getting confirmed are in. Only Gaetz was sacrificed, and that helped rally the base to demand their senators confirm the rest (including the superior AG Bondi).

449 I wasn't sure what the issue with Patel was, and figured the hyperventilating Left would make it clear:

Washington Post: While Democratic senators expressed deep concerns about Patel, pointing to his history of inflammatory rhetoric and calls for retribution against perceived enemies, many of their Republican counterparts hailed him as the person needed to fix an agency they say has become politicized.

That's it? His "rhetoric" mirroring the President's regarding retribution?

Patel is going to destroy the FBI to make tfg happy
@patriottakes Kash Patel once suggested that people in government “all have to agree with the commander in chief” or they could be “thrown in jail.”

454 419 You might discard this with prejudice, but guess who is going to take over the leadership slot of the Democrat party....(drum roll)....Andrew Cuomo. I kid you not. He's going to try and wrestle away the NY Mayor position from Adams....and use it as a spring board to run for president in 2028. Not kidding.

Cuomo's the one who should have run in 2024 to succeed Biden, the Dems had been setting that up for a decade. And then he had that sexual asault scandal and had to resign in disgrace, and all those pretty plans came crashing down.

Still a pretty big impediment to any national run. Mayor of New York isn't a hard race to win, as Deh Blashsio showed us.

455 Wow the wikipedia page for Kash Patel has been heavily editing by leftists, and goes to great lengths to claim that he is a "conspiracy theorist." When you go to the section about his crazy conspiracy theories, wikipedia has this to say:

"Patel has promoted multiple conspiracy theories,[a] and has been described as a conspiracy theorist.[107][109] Conspiracy theories promoted by Patel include the deep state conspiracy theory, false claims about 2020 election fraud, QAnon, COVID-19 vaccines, and false claims that the FBI instigated the January 6 United States Capitol attack."

Uh -- all of those have been proven true. The very fact that the Deep State is editing his wikipedia page to slander him is itself proof that the existence of the Deep State isn't a conspiracy theory.

Release the names of those who authorized the release of the 600 FBI files to the Clintons.

And notify everyone whose file was obtained that it and all copies have been destroyed.

Of course, and publicly name the Democrats they had files on.
So we know who the Clinton's were blackmailing.

Posted by: People's Hippo Voice at February 20, 2025 03:13 PM (NwfFc)



I've long thought that it was much more than 600 files. They came up with 600 to make it more palatable to the public. Of course, ZERO files was the acceptable number to be in Hillary's hands but I think 600 calmed people down. And I'll bet it was more on the order of 6 fucking thousand files! And that's what was used to neuter our side. Starting with that cuck John Roberts. In my not so very humble fucking opinion.

The three explosions took place on empty buses in separate car parks in the city, which lies south of Tel Aviv.

Details are few and far between at the moment, but the police added that they were looking for suspects, and believe that the incidents could be part of a “nationalist” operation.

537 The only thing I hate more than Schiff is the people that voted to reward his years of lying about Russian collusion with a Senate seat.

We can't prove that they did. Just a few months ago, Cali was still counting ballots a month after the election, and only stopped when the Democrats won. And then Newsom signed a law making it illegal to show your ID when voting. I think those are strong signs that the results aren't what's voted.

558 Stephen Miller gives the White House press gaggle a civics lesson.

http://tiny.cc/ptra001

This is outstanding and correct. The press have been pressing their theory that the bureaucracy should be unaffected by elections. They've been arguing that bureaucrats are a necessary stabilizing force in American politics. They've been insisting federal bureaucrats are the experts who make the country run and the federal apparatus would fall apart and chaos would reign if they weren't allowed to do exactly whatever the hell they've been doing for the last several decades.

Miller offers a necessary pushback that I believe the US population generally agrees with.

Anyone here remember Frasier Crane's short-lived drama series called "Boss?" He's the mayor of Chicago. And he's the boss of the whole state of Illinois, including the boss of the governor, because without Chicago, that guy wouldn't be governor.

Is that true in real life? Maybe at some points in time, like when the Daleys were running Chicago. But even then, a few Republican governors slipped through.

"mayor" adams has a lot of power in the state. A lot. And he's black. And he's corrupt. Governor Chiclet Teeth is skating on thin ice, right now. And, it's black fake history month.

608 The only thing I hate more than Schiff is the people that voted to reward his years of lying about Russian collusion with a Senate seat.

We can't prove that they did. Just a few months ago, Cali was still counting ballots a month after the election, and only stopped when the Democrats won. And then Newsom signed a law making it illegal to show your ID when voting. I think those are strong signs that the results aren't what's voted.

If they're sealed up though, they will outgas enough to blow the container. Years ago, I had a PentagonLight flashlight with 123 lithium batteries as my bedstand light. Great flashlight, superior to the Surefires. It exploded at about 2am one night and my room smelled like lithium for the next month.

I'm pretty sure it was the no-name lithium batteries that caused it, but the battery chamber was so well sealed that the pressure built up until it blew out the light module and ruined the light.

We should just cock-block the Limeys by shutting down access to any USAF cargo aircraft. I just looked it up and the RAF has a total of 8 strategic airlift jets (C-17s), 22 of the tactical A400M (prop aircraft, basically larger, modern versions of the C-130).

They aren't deploying shit without begging the US for airlift.

They can. Lithium batteries don't explode, they just burn a lot. So if there's an earth-shattering ka-boom it's Islam, not lithium.

Watched a u-tube video on Lithium Ion Batteries. College Professor who is into fire safety. Burning Lithium Batteries can generate a LOT of Hydrogen. Build up a cloud of that in a garage or underground parking and you can generate pretty serious explosions.

He recounted an incident where LI-ion batteries were set up to store energy. The equivalent of 9 Tesla's worth of batteries in an unmarked building. Someone reported smoke coming from the building. Firefighters show up, open the door and the hydrogen cloud inside blew up in their faces. The firefighter who opened the door landed 70 feet away. He survived but only just.

I get the impression he voted yes so that Murkowski and Collins could vote no. Collins is trying to appease her deep-blue Maine voters, so I'd give her a pass. Murkowski there's no excuse for.

But McConnell voting yes is interesting to see. He deserves plenty of criticism but he always seems to come through when it really matters. He gives Collins cover when she needs it, and vice-versa. I wonder if he would have voted against Hegseth if it had really mattered. Is he a team player after all? I really don't know.
