What's the disadvantage?

To me, this announcement signals that the pretenders and traitors aren't going to get over on Donald Trump this time around. It's quite satisfying to behold, an it's encouraging for his supporters.

On top of all that, this backstabbing swamp slime just plain deserves the public tea-bagging. "I am your retribution."

Not that I disagree with the decision as I agree with it but don't see the benefit of releasing it now.

Sending a signal to the occupants of “the clown car” that will be pulling up to the White House, expecting appointments because they’re part of the Deep State. Trump is setting a tone that it “won’t be business as usual.”

Only my reading of it, I may be way off.

Yes, that backhanded slap was a great way of telling those two GTFO without actually saying it. In the past, it would have been vintage bombastic Trump. But the man has wised up. Back stabbers need not apply.

PDJT is setting the tone and course for his Presidency and the Republic, as well strategically setting the democRATS up to chase a shiny object or two while he likely has a multitude of other critical MAGA initiatives being worked on more quietly.

Trump is sending a loud and clear message to D.C. and the rest of the country right now- no more swamp creatures are allowed back into the WH like Pence, Christie, Mattis, Kelly, Bolton, Scaramucci, Tellerson, etc. One of Trump's team members, I forget which one, stated on X that his phone was inundated with text messages from past Trump WH associates looking for a job. Screw them.

I’m glad he’s using Don Jr. as the litmus test for inner circle.

Exactly what I was thinking. Why give the swamp creatures over two months advanced notice of your battle plan? Should get in first, then *BOOM*.

I imagine part of it has to do with the preservation of evidence. They will no doubt try to destroy records implicating themselves in any one or more of the violations he's outlined. They are not, as a group, rocket surgeons and will attempt to destroy said records, thinking that they will easily get away with it. Forensic evidence of that action will be found and then they have additional crimes. Then the ratting each other out as fast as possible games will begin. It will be glorious.

President Trump is speaking DIRECTLY to The People and with his clear mandate, wo be the politician/swamp feeder that gets in his way. Trump can run them over with our unified support.

His second term will be unlike anything any of us has seen in our lifetime. MAGA!!!

I think we should all nominate Para as WH Press Secretary. I would pay big $ to see him address the libtard Press at least once...

The higher ups at the Eff Bee Eye are shitting bricks right now

quote:

The brass on the seventh floor at FBI headquarters in Washington have been in a daze and wary of a housecleaning since Donald Trump was reelected president on Tuesday, inside sources say.

The Washington Times learned through several anonymous bureau sources that senior agency executives were “stunned” and “shell-shocked” by Mr. Trump’s victory over Vice President Kamala Harris...

...FBI Director Christopher A. Wray and Deputy Director Paul Abbate have little chance of remaining at the bureau by the time Mr. Trump is inaugurated, sources say.

FBI employees recall Mr. Trump firing Director James B. Comey five months after taking the oath of office in 2017.

“It’s a countdown for Wray because [people here] don’t think he will stay to get fired after what Trump did to Comey,” the first source said. “Trump will say, ‘Yeah, fire his a—. Don’t let him take the plane home.’”

Mr. Comey learned about his termination while flying to California on the bureau’s airplane...

...Sources say others on the seventh floor of the FBI are so concerned about their jobs that they are likely to flood Washington’s private security job market.

Most of the sources said no one’s job in the FBI at a GS-14 level or higher is safe, and they fully expect Mr. Trump to “smash the place to pieces when he gets in” and that it will be a “bloodbath.”

Former FBI whistleblower George Hill told The Washington Times that people in the agency say the state of the FBI is “frazzled.”

“I have friends still at the bureau telling me that no less than 50 senior executives (SES) are scrambling to retire ASAP,” he said.

They can retire but they must still be hunted down and prosecuted for what they’ve done.

I hope that the fear they feel is not as bad as it WILL be for them. I'm hoping for prison time and loss of retirement for them at a minimum.

Treasonous bastards! I wish the upmost in pain and suffering. They went after not only Trump, but his supporters in all categories from the top down, like J6 MEGA Memaw. Look how they came after people like that. When Burn, Loot, Murder ( BLM ) Destroyed 5% of this country, much that still hasn't recovered, and killed 40+/- people, costing 2-5 Billion dollars of losses, and nothing for them? Yeah, fuck them (fbi)! I hope they receive everything they deserve!

ARman

Good. Fucking retire. These people ooze guilt, so, go. Leave. Bye.

Well deserved relaxation.

Thanks for those photos Q.

I never get tired of hearing “landslide election victory”!

It looks like we're getting real close to deciding the House. In Colorado in the 8th District, Dem incumbent Yadira Caraveo conceded the race this afternoon, flipping the seat red to Gabe Evans. Adding this to the numbers at Decision Desk HQ, this looks like 217 seats to the Republicans.

^^^ I linked an article in the senate article that I'll include here too. Talks in detail about the house races.

https://www.theepochtimes.com/...XyIATCxHOrAxa8Io0%3D

Here Are the Uncalled House Races That Will Determine Control of the Chamber

There are 20 races in the U.S. House of Representatives that are still being counted: 10 of which are in California.

As the last remaining votes are tallied nationwide, several key House races that are yet to be called will decide which party controls the chamber in 2025.

As of Saturday evening, The Associated Press still hasn’t called 20 seats in 10 states. The current status has Republicans leading Democrats by 213 seats to 202. A majority is reached at 218 seats.

If the current margins endure once all votes are counted, Republicans could net 11 more seats, for a total of 224. Democrats could add 9 seats, for a total of 211 as the new Congress is sworn in next year.

The current House of Representatives has 220 Republican seats, 212 Democratic, and three vacancies.

Midwest, South, and Northeast Races

Incumbent Rep. Mariannette Miller-Meeks (R-Iowa) is fending off her Democratic challenger Christina Bohannan for Iowa’s 1st congressional district race. Miller-Meeks is leading by fewer than 1,000 votes, or 0.2 percent, with 99 percent of the votes counted.
In Louisiana, an interesting race is playing out for the state’s 6th congressional district. Because Louisiana uses a majority-vote system, all candidates compete in the same primary, and a single candidate can win outright in that race by receiving more than 50 percent of the vote totals.

With the open primary occurring on Election Day, Democrat Cleo Fields is currently leading the pack with 50.8 percent with 99 percent of the vote tallied. He is followed by Republican Elbert Guillory in second place with 37.8 percent. If Fields keeps his lead, it would be a pickup seat for Democrats, as it’s currently held by incumbent Rep. Garret Graves (R-La.), who did not seek reelection this year.

Incumbent Rep. Jared Golden (D-Maine) is leading by slightly more than 1,000 votes against Republican Austin Theriault in the race for Maine’s 2nd congressional district. More than 98 percent of the vote has been tallied.

California, Oregon, Washington

Many of California’s districts have a significant number of ballots left to be counted before key House races can be called.
In the 9th district, incumbent Rep. Josh Harder (D-Calif.) is leading Republican Kevin Lincoln by 2.4 percent with 64 percent of the votes tallied. Incumbent Rep. John Duarte (R-Calif.) is ahead of Democrat Adam Gray in the 13th district by 2.5 percent, with 62 percent of ballots counted.

With roughly 63 percent of votes counted in California’s 21st congressional district, incumbent Rep. Jim Costa (D-Calif.) leads by 1 percent. Incumbent Rep. Mike Garcia (R-Calif.) is ahead of Democrat George Whitesides by less than 1,000 votes in the 27th district, and 23 percent of ballots still need to be tallied.

Another incumbent, Rep. David Valadao (R-Calif.), is leading in his race for California’s 22nd congressional district, ahead of Democrat Rudy Salas by 9 percent with 66 percent of the votes counted. Incumbent Rep. Mark Takano (D-Calif.) currently leads by a similar 11.6 percent in the 39th district against Republican David Serpa, with slightly more than half of the votes counted.

In the 41st district, incumbent Rep. Ken Calvert (R-Calif) leads Democrat Will Rollins by 2.8 percent, with another 43 percent of votes to be processed. Incumbent Rep. Mike Levin (D-Calif.) is also ahead of his Republican challenger, Matt Gunderson, in the state’s 49th district with 20 percent of votes left uncounted. Levin leads by 3.2 percent.

Roughly 76 percent of the votes have been counted in California’s 45th congressional district, and incumbent Rep. Michelle Steel (R-Calif.) is leading Democrat Derek Tran by 3 percent.

Incumbent Rep. Katie Porter (D-Calif.) ran in the nonpartisan primary for the U.S. Senate, losing to now Senator-elect Adam Schiff, a Democrat, and Republican Steve Garvey. Porter is vacating her seat in California’s 47th district, and Democrat Dave Min is now leading Republican Scott Baugh by 0.4 percent with 79 percent of the vote counted.

In Oregon’s 5th district, incumbent Rep. Lori Chavez-DeRemer (R-Ore.) is behind her Democratic challenger Janelle Bynum by 2.5 percent with 17 percent of votes left to be tallied.

Washington’s 4th district will go to a Republican as both incumbent Rep. Dan Newhouse (R-Wash.) and Republican Jerrod Sessler advanced from the top-two primary earlier this year. Newhouse leads by 4.6 percent.

Arizona, Colorado, Alaska

In Arizona, incumbent Rep. David Schweikert (R-Ariz.) is ahead in the 1st district by 4.4 percent over Democrat Amish Shah, with another 11 percent of ballots left to count.
In Arizona’s 4th district, which includes Phoenix, incumbent Rep. Greg Stanton (D-Ariz.) is ahead of Republican challenger Kelly Cooper by a 6.5 percent margin with 89 percent of votes counted.

Arizona’s 6th district has incumbent Rep. Juan Ciscomani (R-Ariz.) up by 0.5 percent over Democrat Kirsten Engel with 76 percent of ballots processed.

The Republican challenger, Gabe Evans, is ahead of incumbent Rep. Yadira Caraveo (D-Colo.) by 0.6 percent in Colorado’s 8th congressional district as another 14 percent of votes still need to be counted.

Outside of the contiguous United States, in Alaska’s 1st congressional district, Republican Nick Begich is leading incumbent Rep. Mary Peltola (D-Alaska) 49.5 percent to 45.4 percent with 76 percent of votes currently processed. Unless one candidate appears as the first choice on a majority of ballots, the election will advance to ranked-choice voting.

My favorite new term of the day: Self-deportation

Cut off the gravy train and in may cases, deportation will not be required, because they're going to self-deport.
