In Trumps case the swamp infested halls of government mislead him purposefully

President Trump learned some hard lessons about the swamp and the information they were giving him. I think he's a quick study and will be more cautious from here on. Surprisingly Trump Jr. is not so easily fooled. I watch his Twitter feed and he's wise and brutally humorous about it.

In Trumps case the swamp infested halls of government mislead him purposefully in many instances with his own Party’s people ( the main culprits are entrenched gov’t service types) back stabbing him.>>> That was always my biggest fear. He never really knew that you couldn’t trust anyone within 100 miles of DC. Reagan had is california cabinet which helped a lot. Trump was alone.

That’s always the problem with great leaders. The problem is that sometimes it seems that the only thing that can defeat a tyrant is another tyrant…and when people get desperate enough, they’ll go for it.

The fraud would have happened no matter what, but perhaps Trump would have gotten more support if he hadn’t alienated some people who could have helped. But that’s water under the bridge.

The fraud, I think, was certainly in the works long before the election. I remember the Dems in FLorida in 2004, trying out baby-steps like the election officials mysteriously spiriting off boxes of ballots, the non-counting of military ballots, and even things like the hacking of data bases containing the names and certification and assignments of GOP poll watchers so that they could not be sent to the polling places. But the plandemic just gave them free reign, and I’m not sure anybody could have foreseen the vast scope of it.

I see it as each freedom loving state revolting against DC tyranny.

Maybe only one or two at first, but as the dam breaks others will reject DC and live by Our Constitution. It won't be one person that leads all at first - it will be many individuals in many different places coming together for the common good.

Basically, the Rule of Federal Laws will be rejected, much as Texas has done with abortion and election laws. We will become sanctuary states that no longer bow to DC.

DC is powerless without it's ability to inflict pain on it's subjects. As states reject DC and citizens throw their loyalty to their county and state The People will overpower the tyrants and run them out. I pray I am alive to see it, but that is not up to me.

God bless you for that and Thanks!! My church uses that song in our morning worship sometimes. It’s closely affiliated with the Christ Alone/American Gospel DVD as well as the Christ Crucified DVD. Another new one coming out around Christmas :)

But turning over the “virus response” to Pence (I think Trump did this because he believed it would depoliticize the response), who then turned it over to Fauci, essentially making him the President and decision maker, was a serious mistake.
***Yup. The standard “good ole boy” delegating that causes so much trouble in America today.

In the sense that strength prevails, you are correct,
But -
Freedom is not the norm. Historically, someone always seems to want to control others.
We were the exception.
I pray we prevail.

You are correct on so many levels, yet you are not...
Allow me to explain...

President Trump was and is a great leader. He has one weakness. I call it CEO syndrome.

As a CEO in the private sector, your orders are expected to be carried out, blindly. As such, the absolute power actually blinds you to what is happening right in front of your face. You actually believe what your staff is telling you, while they plot to overthrow you. This has been happening since the dawn of civilization.

I believe Trump knew what was happening, and how it was going to happen in this past election. He made a battle plan and gave the orders to carry it out. His staff torpedoed this action, and here we sit today.

The only thing these people understand is power. They thirst for it. They lust after it. And once they have it, they will never voluntarily relinquish it.

We must take it from them. Period. What happened in this past election was a simple act. Those in power got together and told us that we do not have the power over them. They stole the election ( this includes conservative house and senate candidates ) and literally threw it back in our faces. The goal here is to demoralize. Screw ‘em.

We need to fire every bush league chamber of commerce worshiping republiCAN’T on the ballot. Period.
Ensure that you are not taking your vacation during the primary season ( that is how these people get on the main ballot ). Take a day off from work, call in sick, just get yourself to the polls on primary day.

And fire them all. Every stinkin’ one of them. The whole lot. There are none worth saving.
The ones that manage to get through must be defeated in November. Don’t vote for the democommie, but don’t vote for the republiCAN’T either.

Please don’t stay home. There may be genuine good people down the ticket that need our support.

Anyway, I expect the “vote for the republican no matter what” crowd to show up any minute now...

That is a great analysis of the problem Trump had. I honestly think he trusted some of these people.
