Who is that?

“”Patel, Bongino, Bondi, all proving to be useless.””

I have a hunch that Bongino might be quitting that gig soon. I don’t think he’ll be able to stomach the required deception it involves.

Tru Dat !!

Go back to metal caps, unpainted.

——>You sling mud at the Vatican, claiming “80% of clergy are homosexual,” citing “priest on priest homosexuality,” “drug-fueled Grinder dates,” and “partying all night long” as proof of its “abominations.” This is vile, unsubstantiated slander, not prophecy.

Police reports, a 5 year study by a French journalist (also gay), and countless other documentation over the years.

The Papacy is gayer than a $3 bill. Straight up abomination.

Risk was a favorite. Made you think.

And Stratego. The most important piece was the spy!!

Replaced with who?

I've feta myself plenty of it over the years.

CeeEyeA hiring? I rubbed elbows with that bunch about six decades ago. They couldn’t describe a job that interested me but the money was there. I’d already been East of the Mississippi and didn’t want to go back so I waved them off. But they do, indeed, lay the bucks out there.

This is government.

Promote her.

Make her Ambassador to Mars!

Imagine that.

Nothing gets by these people, does it?

Sure, but it says computerized on the box. It may have been one of the first.

I think Trump doesn’t feel he has the support of Congress via a vis the courts..
I can’t come up with another reason to explain his timidity.

I don’t know what is going on up there.

Here is what's going on.

Deep-state Obama/Biden holdovers are repeating the 2017 playbook that ultimately caused the dismissals of Mike Flynn and Jeff Sessions.

1. Attorney General Pam Bondi said publicly that the FBI gave her the totality of the FBI documents on Epstein, only to find out from a whistleblower that the FBI was withholding thousands of documents from her, undermining her credibility with the national public in the first six weeks of the Trump administration.

2. Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard testified before Congress one month after her confirmation that Iran had no program to develop nuclear weapons, only to be publicly rebuked by Israeli intelligence and President Trump before the Fordow air strike.

3. Someone leaked a low-confidence intelligence assessment that suggested that the Fordow strike did not destroy the uranium enrichment facilities to influence the immediate media narrative, something which was proven wrong just days later.

Both the Bondi and Gabbard incidents seem to be cases of entrenched deep-state holdovers working to undermine the Trump administration by making the most important and trusted Cabinet officers seem unreliable and incompetent. The objective is to create a wedge between these officers and President Trump with the goal of him ultimately firing them. Someone seems to be trying to recreate the incidents in Trump's first term that led to his firing of Michael Flynn and Jeff Sessions.

The playbook is:

1. Using legitimate investigative tools to collect compromising material. They are opening pretextual investigations to gather compromising material.

2. Releasing selective information to create scandals. They are feeding false information to create public embarrassment.

3. Undermining appointee credibility to pressure resignations. They are coordinating with the LAAP-dog media to amplify negative narratives.

4. Creating wedges between President Trump and his trusted advisors by exploiting bureaucratic processes to undermine his administration's effectiveness.

President Trump keeps saying that the target is the rest of us and he's just in the way. Since they can't seem to touch President Trump, they're targeting his closest advisors.

1. They also tried to get rid of Pete Hegseth with the Signal scandal, and he's turned out to be great at the DoD. It's ironic that they tried to create an intelligence scandal over Signal, and then they resorted to leaking a worthless intelligence assessment out of desparation.

2. They tried to get rid of Elon Musk because of his close friendship to President Trump. The irony is that they didn't have to waste that political capital and credibility; Musk was going to blow up the friendship all on his own.

3. So far, they've kept a hands-off on Marco Rubio. He's actually surprised me at how effective he's been as Secretary of State.

4. They're now targeting Bessent, but he seems to be holding his own.

5. Steve Witkoff is untouchable. He's Donald Trump's best friend and he's been yugely successful on Trump's behalf.

6. Howard Lutnick is similarly untouchable. His relationship with Trump doesn't go as far back as Witkoff's, but he's a trusted friend, too.

Is there an actual legal basis for this usurpation of Articles I & II?

I was quoting AVERAGES. Which means there always is the bell curve to contend with. There are very good and very bad people in all groups.

So let me get this freakin' straight here:

• 535 members of the House originate a budget bill.
• 100 members of the Senate modify it.
• 535 members of the House reconcile their original bill to the Senates.
• It's sent to the President, who signs it into law.

And one little pipsqueak mouse of a judge can overrule the whole process.

WHAT THE ACTUAL F*#&#*&$

I want to believe 👻😂🤡

Nope. They can ignore that. A bill was legally passed by the Congress and signed into law by potus. Only the SC can rule it unconstitutional.
