The parlous state of US federal politics right now
A young person said the other day that she “wasn’t interested in politics”. My reply was that it’s interested in you remaining uninterested. Yet you have the vote.
Trump being able to put his policies through is crucial, if only because the people endorsed them in the main … despite the documented cheating so far (fraud) … overwhelmingly endorsed in fact … but also because those policies directly affect other countries/blocs such as the Ukraine and the EU, Mexico. Plus Britain through Labour’s policies becoming unworkable … the zeitgeist shifting.
At every step, there are traitors entrenched who can stymie the overwhelmingly elected President. And in fact, it starts Wednesday.
Apart from the Presidency, there’s a battle in SCOTUS, where Sotomayor is being pressured to retire (they have life tenure) and she is refusing to budge. This prevents demonrats putting in Cortez. If she stays long enough for Trump to take office, then dies, GOP can make it 7-2, not that that helps in all ways … Roberts … nuff on that for now.
The House looks like going narrowly GOP, which means they at least control the purse strings.
The Senate is the focus till Wednesday and beyond. On Wednesday, for those not following closely, the Senate Leader is voted for by all GOP Senators. Traitor McConnell, arch-RINO who hates Trump and is beholden to special interests has put up three names, two who are just as bad … anti Trumpers and RINOs … one, Cornyn, has just deleted his anti-Trump tweets. They’re snakes, these three.
The sole pro-MAGA on the list is Rick Scott. If he secures the leadership, he’s non-RINO, anti-demonrat and so … if Trump brings in the program, the House funds it and it goes to the Senate, it pretty much goes through. Which affects, not just the USA but those parts of the world mentioned. Directly.
Publius (on X) has uncovered this:
Remember … Thune and Cornyn are bad lots, Scott is the pro-MAGA. Many Xers have published Senator phone numbers to phone and demand Scott. Good but two dismaying things.
Demonrat Schumer is refusing new GOP McCormick permission to attend the Orientation Day, which apparently is pretty vital, such that Mike Lee, MAGA and good guy, has offered to personally escort McCormick into the Senate.
However, check the list above on whom he plans to vote for. Also check Cruz from Texas. Think you’re seeing the dismaying treason just below the surface, preventing Presidents “presidenting”, unless demonrat, in which case they are all in lockstep and controlled by Obama.
