I imagine what happens eventually will be the tango between the gaming computers of the so called white hats (if they exist) and the black hats. However, if it appears that some kind of military intervention is pending and they really don't believe that 2024 will happen, and McCarthy also is appraised, than shit like the debt ceiling (bankruptcy will be declared at some point), impeachments (arrests instead) and even J6 will become moot (immediate pardons).

The Republican Congress critters will, of course, continue to expose the corruption to the public.

McCarthy is supposed to be on a very short leash and can be recalled more or less summarily, according to the agreements that placed him, and, I suppose, Trump could ask for them to do that. That MIGHT mean McCarthy really isn't capitulating so much as not wasting resources on stuff that might not matter given what's pending. One thing seems for sure, it is looking like the Dems KNOW that 2024 can't be allowed to happen. Their extremism is going full totalitarian.

Of course, the 'no 2024 election military intervention' theory could be viewed as daft hopium as well, and maybe things ARE as fucked up as they appear.

There's no way there's going to be a military intervention. The MBA Brass has long been cucked to the PTB and the Agencies. If there's one thing the Oh So Society does, it's make sure the top leaders of the US Military are fully on board with the Technocratic Oligarchy.

We went through this with the "Tick Tock" and "March 15th" bullshit in 2020. "Just keep watching the Flight Maps of the USA, you'll see! Trump is actually on an SSBN off the Atlantic Coast!"

There are mentions that Trump is still Commander in Chief of the Field Commanders (actual boots on the ground troops) rather than the Pentagon wastrels plumping in the MIC and seemingly armchairing their bullshit (they certainly can run down the weapons reserves and the strategic petroleum reserves, as they have done). Also, if the rumors are true that Trump has the nukes, than that really is the Trump Card.

The pundit Juan O Savin (former long term military intelligence) says Cheyenne Mountain and other strategic locations have been locked down since Trump Presidency presuming a ready alert war time setting (election interference is considered an act of war). Also, it seems that there would already be massive troops sent to Ukraine if Biden and SES had any real authority over them, and WWIII would have been on. Instead, it still just seems to be advisors, trainers, and mercenaries.

But, since these are observations from the bleachers, it could all be head fake controlled opposition propaganda, and it is sure getting annoying waiting for all this 'education' before something decisive is done.

THEY aren't exposing corruption.

The public is.

Republican leaders in congress are part of the corruption.

They could impeach, symbolically, Biden, they won't. Doesn't matter what Biden does. Sell access to his office through his son working on the BOD of Burisma, demand that Viktor Shokin get fired to prevent investigation, sell bribes by having his son sell children's art for 1/2 million dollars a piece...

It couldn't be more obvious. There ARE two parties, the ruling class, and the rest of us. The ruling class buys you off, and offers you less and less every year, slowly, so you don't revolt.

The ruling is VERY small. It's trivial to overthrow them but there's a lot of people bought off, to go along to get along. I'm not purchased, yet. I don't know if I can be. The ruling class is just too fucking evil to work with. There's no redeeming qualities about them that I can think of.

What a wonderful day.

McCarthy musta thought he could sell out and make a bundle of corrupto bucks a la Pelosi, or, he was always slated to eject on demand at a particular time and moment to have been determined. Woo knows?

Trump's tax cuts expire in December 2025 as part of the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act.

The uniparty powers may use this expiration in order to bring in more tax revenue while still increase spending at the Democrat rate of 2% above annual inflation.

So they just let things continue to go to shit in 2024 and 2025 until 2026 brings in higher tax rates.

It’s not just Ukrainian oligarchs freaking out that McCarthy is no longer Speaker. The LA Times ran a hilarious story yesterday headlined, “‘Evil,’ ‘delusional,’ ‘Benedict Arnold’: In Kevin McCarthy’s Bakersfield, Matt Gaetz draws ire.” I think this may be the first time the LA Times has ever attacked a Republican for attacking a Republican.

Surprising even itself, the LA times discovered — for the first time since the Spanish Land Grant — a bunch of Republicans that it likes, hiding in plain sight. Discarding with ease its box of usual deplorable MAGA monikers, the Times found new, positive labels for conservatives, referring to its anti-Gaetz interviewees as “Republican voters,” “conservative citizens,” “residents,” and the saintly “Bakersfield Republican Women’s Club.”

Amazingly, out of all those groups, the LA Times couldn’t quote one single Republican who agreed with Matt Gaetz. Every single person they interviewed — over half a dozen — all agreed with McCarthy. Isn’t that something? I’d guess it was unanimous except by reading the C&C comments I can tell that there is a, um, let’s say “diversity of opinion” compared with the Bakersfield Republican Women’s Club.

It wasn’t just the LA Times. The Washington Post, the New York Times, the Wall Street Journal, all the woke Establishment Media outlets decried McCarthy’s removal. All the stories were very similar and all used the word “chaos.”

Make a note in your diaries. This is the first time Establishment Media universally has ever defended a prominent Republican instead of gleefully celebrating his problems.

So — whoever is being the secretary - go ahead and add another point in the Gaetz column since, like the Ukrainians, woke Establishment Media is also mad that McCarthy is gone. I’m not saying McCarthy was working for media’s real deep state bosses or anything. I’m just saying.

The media weren’t the only ones. Yesterday I also noticed a lot of chatter from Republican officials who should know better about Representative Matt Gaetz (R-Fl.) and the eight Republicans who voted to remove McCarthy as being “traitors” who, ironically, “sided” with democrats. What nonsense.

First of all, two days before Gaetz initiated his removal, McCarthy sided with democrats to pass a budget over Republican objections. The LA Times even made the same point, unironically beclowning itself:

The ultimate betrayal, Campbell said, was that Gaetz had criticized McCarthy for working with Democrats, then turned around and banded together with the opposing party to oust him.

So McCarthy did it first, creating the precedent. Now don’t come crying to me about “siding with democrats.” Lie down with dogs, get up with dog hair all over you.

Second, and more important, Matt Gaetz was only following the rules of a game that McCarthy created to get the Speaker’s job in the first place. The deal was, if McCarthy ever welshed on the deal, any one member could call for a floor vote to remove the Speaker. The Times article even admitted it:

Gaetz filed the motion to oust McCarthy late Monday night, taking advantage of chamber rules that the House majority approved in January — part of a deal that McCarthy cut to be elected speaker — that allow any lawmaker to force a quick vote on booting the speaker.

And when McCarthy welshed as soon as things started getting sticky, Matt Gaetz did what McCarthy’s rules allowed.

Don’t hate the player, hate the game.

In other words, why complain about Gaetz creating chaos when it was McCarthy who made the rules that allowed the chaos to happen in the first place? Why not blame Saint Kevin? One suspects it is just because they’re just trying to use the controversy to get rid of Gaetz for daring to do something like disrupt the deep state’s Proxy War.

McCarthy was working for media’s real deep state bosses, and most Republican Congressmen still are.

Why a secret ballot? That kinda gives lots of power to whoever counts the votes.

Who are those 8 RINOs?

Ah, here they are, the RINOs who refused to impeach traitor Mayorkas:

Rep. Ken Buck (R-CO)
Rep. Darrell Issa (R-CA)
Rep. Tom McClintock (R-CA)
Rep. Patrick McHenry (R-NC)
Rep. John Duarte (R-CA)
Rep. Virginia Foxx (R-NC)
Rep. Cliff Bentz (R-OR)
Rep. Mike Turner (R-OH)

19 or 20 asshoe republicans voted against defunding the new vehicle kill switch law along side democrats to kill it.

So now in 2026 we'll have cameras and microphones and AI watching us drive ready to disable the vehicle if it thinks you're intoxicated. Oh, and onboard alcohol sniffers so you can't drive a drunk home.

Yesterday, eight Republicans, may a pox be upon them, crossed the aisle to vote with democrats NOT to impeach DHS Secretary Alex Mayorkas for the controlled demolition of the United States’ southern border. Rather, democrats and those eight Republicans referred the issue to a committee where it can be safely and quietly buried in the middle of the night under that mountain where we put all the leftover scraps of Uranium-235. Twelve other lizard-lipped Republicans failed to show up to vote. I hope palmetto bugs skitter up their pajamas legs in the middle of the night. I say that from personal experience.

Here are the eight Republicans, may they step on tiny legos whenever they get up at night to use the bathroom, who think lying liar Secretary Mayorkas is doing a bang-up job down at the border:

Rep. Ken Buck (R-Co.) 202-225-4676, @RepKenBuck.

Rep. Darrell Issa (R-Ca.) 202-225-5672, @RepDarrellIssa.

Rep. Tom McClintock (R-Ca.) (202) 225-2511, @tommcclintock.

Rep. Patrick McHenry (R-N.C.) (202) 225-2576, @PatrickMcHenry.

Rep. John Duarte (R-Ca.) (202) 225-1947, @RepDuarteCA13.

Rep. Virginia Foxx (R-N.C.) (202) 225-2071. @virginiafoxx.

Rep. Cliff Bentz (R-Or.) (202) 225-6730, @RepBentz.

Rep. Mike Turner (R-Oh.) (202) 225-6465, @RepMikeTurner.

Extra credit for Floridians: Maria Salazar (R-Fl.) was a no-show to vote. (202) 225-3931.

Back in 2021, we started a ‘5-a-day Army’, where every day, C&Cers each called five legislators to deliver a quick script. Five calls, under five minutes. And it worked! We shut down entire offices and finally got the state Congress back to a special session in November 2021, to pass protections for employees against vaccine mandates.

Let’s do a one-day operation! It will make you feel better. Today’s C&C Army Orders: using any method you like, randomly pick three of the eight names above, add any from your home state, and either call or tweet the following script (feel free to improvise, but be polite):

Good morning(afternoon), Representative. Please explain why you voted to table the Mayorkas impeachment vote. From now on, please do whatever it takes to seal the border and deport every person illegally in the country. Thank you.

Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-Ga.) originally filed the motion to impeach our diverse Homeland Secretary. Marjorie’s from Georgia. Maybe the representatives from Texas could take some notes from Ms. Greene? Ahem, Dan Crenshaw (R-Tx.)? Just saying.

Patrick says

There is an aura of mootness about the whole impeachment and Congressional dog an pony show. The Woo might say mootness is there because there is no reason to pursue these minor show trials leading nowhere, when a much larger juggernaut of true retribution is pending and some of the Congress critters seem to know it.
When you see Mitts looking like death warmed over, secret agent man Blinken nearly crying and cringing, and Mitch McConnell literally freezing and crying, one wonders what reaper they are contemplating.
One would hopium that juggernaut retribution is real and not another head fake.

Republican Senators blocked the $61 billion for Ukraine, because they want more funding for border security.

Let's see what happens as far as compromise. At least the Republicans are forcing the Democrats to address border security, so its a lot better now as far as less RINO behavior.

Rep. Darrell Issa (R-Ca.) 202-225-5672, RepDarrellIssa.

No surprise there. Dude loves to steal, it started with cars. What are the odds of being arrested twice - with an Army Officer Commission in between the stints in different localities - for stealing a car?

The retribution is coming, but not from the white hats, rather from the king of kings and Lord of lords. If there was any hope that woo would save us, they would have lied to us and strung everybody along for 4 plus years.
