What was Mace’s vote on McCarthy?
“Nancy Mace is in it for something and I don’t trust her at all.”
Too often people attribute these surprise moves as big P politics or some sort of 14D chess political strategy, when it is much more often revenge over some personal slight, payback for being passed over for some job, bureaucratic positioning and empire building, rivalry for a promotion or recognition... etc.
She was one of the 8.
quotes:
According to the Indictment unsealed today in Manhattan federal court:
Starting in approximately December 2018, BRIAN KOLFAGE, STEPHEN BANNON, ANDREW BADOLATO, and TIMOTHY SHEA, and others, orchestrated a scheme to defraud hundreds of thousands of donors, including donors in the Southern District of New York, in connection with an online crowdfunding campaign ultimately known as “We Build The Wall” that raised more than $25 million to build a wall along the southern border of the United States. In particular, to induce donors to donate to the campaign, KOLFAGE repeatedly and falsely assured the public that he would “not take a penny in salary or compensation” and that “100% of the funds raised . . . will be used in the execution of our mission and purpose” because, as BANNON publicly stated, “we’re a volunteer organization.”
Those representations were false. In truth, KOLFAGE, BANNON, BADOLATO, and SHEA received hundreds of thousands of dollars in donor funds from We Build the Wall, which they each used in a manner inconsistent with the organization’s public representations. In particular, KOLFAGE covertly took for his personal use more than $350,000 in funds that donors had given to We Build the Wall, while BANNON, through a non-profit organization under his control (“Non-Profit-1”), received over $1 million from We Build the Wall, at least some of which BANNON used to cover hundreds of thousands of dollars in BANNON’s personal expenses. To conceal the payments to KOLFAGE from We Build the Wall, KOLFAGE, BANNON, BADOLATO, and SHEA devised a scheme to route those payments from We Build the Wall to KOLFAGE indirectly through Non-Profit-1 and a shell company under SHEA’s control, among other avenues. They did so by using fake invoices and sham “vendor” arrangements, among other ways, to ensure, as KOLFAGE noted in a text message to BADOLATO, that his pay arrangement remained “confidential” and kept on a “need to know” basis.
That has a link to the PDF federal indictment.
She says she’s “sensible” on social issues. Translation: Unprincipled and straddling the fence.
Just so you know, when Steve Bannon was arrested on the Federal Charges Trump pardoned him for, the US Postal Service Police arrested coming off a mega yacht owned by a Chinese Billionaire that was docked in Westbrook, Connecticut

The article states this particular Chinese Billionaire was a wanted fugitive in China for fraud, blackmail and bribery whatever that means in Chinese Law.
Before we go all in on a 100% Trump Supporter we need to know if the guy is a crook or not, I’m not sure about Steve Bannon, he’s been right on the edge of the law a couple of times.
Are Bannon’s legal problems because he’s 100% Trump or is he a crook, I don’t really know at this point.
“The main goal should be...”
At this point we should be fighting for constitutional tax caps, both as a means of attracting votes and to protect ourselves from being taxed out of our homes and lifestyles.
Imagine 7 million male invaders, producing two children each on average, who then get 13 years of public education at $15,000/year on average.
I think that works to be about $2.7 trillion.
Bannon was pardoned for Federal Charges at which point NY State fill State charges against Bannon over the same incident
That trial is set to begin in May 2024 right before the Presidential Election, just by coincidence I’m sure

She voted with McCarthy for the CR on Saturday. There’s no 180 degree turn. McCarthy hurt her itty bitty feelings by lying to her. That’s the reason she gave for her vote to vacate. She’s a typical scattered brained woman, bordering on bat chit crazy. There’s no principles behind her views. Her views are just a pile of unrelated and often contradictory platitudes.
Nancy Mace may have heard from the folks in her district. That’s why she is relatively liberal on abortion and anti-MvCarthy. She’s trying to get reelected in 2024. If she decided to support McCarthy, it’ll be easy to go against her in the primary.
Mace is a RINO Libertarian. She’s good on fiscal responsibility, but like other Libertarians she’s terrible on moral issues. Libertarians are just hedonists who don’t like paying taxes.
agree
Mace voted against the CR.

But I'm with Nancy Mace on most of the issues. Abortion is a distraction. Legalize it.
Mia culpa. You are correct.
How does one have unity, when a sizable chunk of the republican party supports the radical left?
And let’s not forget that this dope told the church group about having morning sex with her boyfriend.
Absolute, moron. The South Carolina GOP can cook the ballot box as good as anybody.
Yes, but…. American liberty was never intended to imply the “freedom” to just do whatever you want. Liberty meant freedom from the tyranny that had been suffered under a monarch in England. It meant freedom to worship God without government interference. It never meant license to go wild in any way that any individual pleases. Not even close. Our constitutional republic cannot function if people are completely morally unrestrained, as is amply demonstrated by today’s sick, demented culture and the corresponding state of the nation.
John Adams said it best when he stated, “Our constitution was made only for a moral and religious people. It is wholly inadequate to the government of any other.” His point was that people whose behavior is NOT restrained by allegiance to a moral code that comes not from their personal whims, but externally from God, cannot be effectively governed by a constitution that allows them unprecedented freedom. That type of person is unfit to govern himself, because his behavior is limited only by what he himself deems unacceptable, and we all are the worst possible judges of our own behavior. We will by nature tend to deem “moral” those behaviors that we wish to engage in.
On the contrary, a system like ours that allows the people to govern themselves, and that provides unprecedented freedom, can only function if the behavior of the people is restrained by their allegiance to an external moral code, i.e. one dictated by God. Without that, the freedom provided by the Constitution just becomes a license to engage in endless forms of degeneracy and evil, according to nothing but the whims of sinful men. That was John Adams’ point.
Religious faith and morally restrained behavior are essential features of our constitutional republic, not bugs, as falsely portrayed by leftists and to be honest, many Libertarians as well. Our system cannot stand on its own, and it cannot continue to provide the freedoms that we all take for granted, if we try to just plug in any and every type of person into it. It was designed to enable and support the freedom of people who were morally equipped to operate responsibly in such a system. It was not designed nor intended nor capable of operating effectively if populated by people who just want to behave any way they wish.
Incidentally, those who profess to “live and let live” have been the primary reason our republic has crumbled. Those who want to behave immorally and even commit evil are a given, they will always be out there. But what determines whether they succeed in corrupting an entire nation is the determination (or lack thereof) of the good people to stop them. Just see Edmund Burke’s famous quote in my tagline. Those who try to justify their moral laziness by proclaiming their “tolerance” of abject evil, as if that tolerance were somehow a virtue, are absolutely responsible for the horrible moral decline of this nation because they stood idly by and refused to fight evil.
Read what you wrote again. This is 2023. Not 1776. The beautiful thing about the Constitution is that it is flexible but the bones are basically the same. I’m all about following the will of the people. I think there should be some restrictions on abortion. Let’s make it 15 weeks. But if the American people want to legalize it. Then we’ll do that. Afterwards, we’ll move on.
Firing Bannon’s was Trump’s biggest mistake.
