Trump got the perfect birthday present:
complete capitulation by the GOP

Original Article

Posted By: Mad Dog, 6/14/2024 9:15:25 AM

Donald Trump got his 78th birthday present a day early — a handshake from his longtime bitter critic, Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell, encapsulating the Republican Party’s complete submission to its presumptive presidential nominee. The twice-impeached 45th president and newly convicted criminal was back on Capitol Hill Thursday for the first time since his supporters beat up police officers and smashed their way through the US Capitol on January 6, 2021.

So, I'm supposed to open this trash article and give CNN clicks? No thanks. Just the first two sentences made me want to puke. I hope this and all the other so-called "news" outlets are completely bankrupted by their corruption.

Typical cnn dribble. Barricade cops shot and killed Ashley, beat others, killing one, used tear gasp rubber bullets, and batons, and cnn says his supports beat up cops.

Who is more likely to give CNN government funding, Trump or The Big Bidet? That is CNN's dream, to be paid by the government; no more pesky advertisers, no more public: "Just do as your told and you'll be rich," that's CNN's mentality and its dream gig and its definition of "success."

Complete capitulation by the GOP? Don't believe it for a second. If Trump becomes President, Pelosi will likely launch new impeachment proceedings on day one. The Republicans will do nothing. They can let the Democrats get their hands dirty fighting Trump. Nothing has changed. If an impeachment vote comes up in the Senate, watch the same Republican bad actors side with the Democrats as usual.

Ugh…I tried to read the whole thing, but lefty “news” pieces always make me feel like I fell into a sewer on another planet. However, this gem stuck out: “A rendition of “Happy Birthday” from House Republicans contrasted with the cries from more than three years ago to “hang Mike Pence” from Trump’s mob as they acted on his plea to “fight like hell” after weeks of promoting false claims about election fraud.” Steven, you are an insidious creep.

" handshake from his longtime bitter critic, Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell," Yeah. Right. It means nothing and I hope DJT sees it for a meaningless gestsure. A leopard cannot change its spots. Neither can a politician afford to openly (repeat with emphasis on 'OPENLY') oppose the leader of his/her party. If he and the rest of his ilk (i.e. Paul Ryan and his merry band of never-Trumpers) hold true to form, their game of 'sorry, not sorry' is already underway. Those of you who believe in the power of prayer get on it and stay on it.

Re: #5 - Pelosi is no longer Speaker of the House, so she can't launch anything if the Republican Speaker doesn't play along. If the Republican tent was reduced to the ever-Trump faithful, then Pelosi - or someone even worse - may very well control the House; however, Trump's broadening the GOP tent makes is less likely the democrats will hold the Senate and re-gain the House, so his efforts should be applauded. Trump was impeached twice in the House, but neither time did the Republican majority in the Senate - at the time - vote to remove him. Those bad Republicans also pushed forward Trump's judicial nominees, yielding a 6-3 majority on the USSC and changing the makeup of other federal courts, including the once dreaded 9th Circuit Court of Appeals in (gasp!) San Francisco. Trump is wisely establishing his influence with the Congressional Republicans, whom he will need to get legislation passed favorable to his agenda. Sometimes, good news is good news.

A conservative watchdog group is accusing Air Force Gen. Charles Q. Brown Jr. of embracing race-based hiring and promotions in the military for the sake of "diversity". The American Accountability Foundation (AAF), an opposition research group that has claimed credit for dismantling several Biden nominations, is now targeting Brown, who is the president's nominee to serve as the next chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff. At issue for the group are various public statements Brown has made in which he offered full-throated support for the military's diversity, equity and inclusion, or DEI, programs.

A Target Corporation diversity executive demanded "White women" get to work to combat the supposed systemic racism in America, while adding the retail giant was making some internal decisions based on predictions of shifting demographics. "One of the hardest things in the world to be every day is Black," Kiera Fernandez, a Chief Diversity & Inclusion Officer at Target, said in a video interview with Essence Magazine in January. Target has ramped up its DEI efforts, in particular after the death of George Floyd in 2020. Target established the Racial Equity Action and Change – which is led by Fernandez – to rapidly "accelerate" those efforts.

Twenty years removed from being tapped as communications director for a Republican president, Nicolle Wallace is now one of MSNBC's most rabid left-wing hosts and fervent Russiagate boosters. Unsurprisingly, she has been quite speedy to dismiss any revelations undercutting the collusion narrative she enthusiastically pushed for years. Following the release of the Durham Report which concluded that the Trump-Russia investigation dubbed "Crossfire Hurricane" was based on "raw, unanalyzed and uncorroborated intelligence," Wallace accused the probe launched by Special Counsel John Durham of being predicated on a "rabbit hole conspiracy." In fact, she made the assessment within minutes of the 320-page report's release.

"And yes, I introduced my son to some drag queens today, so Tennessee, f------ arrest me," Morris said Tuesday in the headline-making clip, winning her praise from The Washington Post, Variety, and a host of other liberal media outlets. Morris said her son, at just two-years-old, was excited to meet drag queens.

The U.S. House of Representatives has recently passed an amendment as part of the National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA) for Fiscal Year 2025. The amendment H.R. 8070 will automatically register all draft-age male U.S. residents with the Selective Service System for a possible military draft, based on information from other Federal databases. This new system of automatic draft registration would replace the existing system, in place since 1980, in which young men have the freedom to decide whether or not to sign up for the draft. According to People’s World, the automatic draft registration proposal was initiated by the Selective Service System (SSS) as part of its annual budget request to Congress.

Nancy Pelosi is losing it. The former Democrat Speaker of the House is the walking personification of Trump Derangement Syndrome. Her hatred for the former (and likely next) president burns white-hot, as evidenced by her petulant, childish, immature, and unbecoming incident in which she tore up her copy of President Trump's 2020 State of the Union speech. Now, she's just becoming pathetic, as we see in her recent interview with MSNBC's Lawrence O'Donnell, where she begged the Trump family and the GOP to "stage an intervention" to prevent Trump from running. Why? Probably because she can see that he's winning.

Democrats plan to disrupt Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s speech to a special joint session of Congress on July 24 in an unprecedented show of hostility to the democratically-elected leader of a close American ally. 56 Democrats boycotted Netanyahu’s speech in 2015, when Republicans invited him to argue against then-President Barack Obama’s nuclear deal with Iran. This time, Axios reports, “Democrats plan to go bigger than a boycott”: The proposals include a press conference, a vigil, or an event with families of those taken hostage by Hamas, many of whom feel Netanyahu hasn’t done enough to free their loved ones. In a sign of how extensive and high-level some of these discussions are,

Fortunately, Friday is Joe Biden's last day in Italy for the G7, so the time that he can embarrass us overseas at the conference is thankfully coming to an end. We've seen him wandering and people having to help redirect him back to where he was supposed to be going. We've seen him giving garbled answers and snapping at a reporter because the reporter dared to ask him a question at his presser that wasn't about Ukraine. That managed to get a reaction out of the White House Correspondents Association. They threw Biden under the bus in their statement, saying there were no "deals" as he claimed.
