Smart people will understand Trump is not to be fucked with, and get on board, or left to beg at the station.

Interesting competition going on for WH Press Secretary job. Jennings would be awesome.

CNN’s Scott Jennings Reportedly ‘Vying’ to Be Trump’s Press Secretary

Isaac Schorr | Nov 13th, 2024

CNN political commentator Scott Jennings is reportedly among those vying to be President-elect Donald Trump’s press secretary.

According to Axios, the competition to represent the incoming administration is “fierce,” with Trump campaign national press secretary Karoline Leavitt, legal spokeswoman Alina Habba, and former Trump administration official and former Fox News personality Monica Crowley all making their case.

Ex-ESPN host Sage Steele, Jennings — who previously worked in the Bush White House — and RNC spokeswoman Elizabeth Pipko “are also vying for the role,” per Axios.

Despite being critical of Trump after the end of his presidency and during the 2024 Republican presidential primary, Jennings emerged as one of the former and future president’s most reliable and impassioned advocates on cable news during the last few months of the general election, riling up his CNN colleagues and delighting conservative onlookers.

Last Wednesday, Jennings called Trump’s victory a “a big deal,” and “mandate” to implement his agenda.

“This isn’t backing into the office. This is a mandate to do what you said you were going to do. Get the economy working again for regular working-class Americans. Fix immigration. Try to get crime under control. Try to reduce the chaos in the world. This is a mandate from the American people to do that. I think I’m interpreting the results tonight as the revenge of just a regular old working-class American,” he argued.

“I also feel like this election, as we sit here and pore over this tonight, is something of an indictment of the political information complex,” continued Jennings. “I mean, we’ve been sitting around it for the last couple of weeks, and the story that was portrayed was not true. And we were told Puerto Rico was going to change election. Liz Cheney, Nikki Haley voters, women lying to their husbands. Before that, it was Tim Walz and the camo hats. Night after night after night. We were told all these things and gimmicks were going to somehow push Harris over the line, and we were just ignoring the fundamentals.”

According to Mediaite’s Diana Falzone, Habba has emerged as the early frontrunner for the role, though no decision has been made yet.

PROOF: @Bob_Casey submits letter memorializing their ILLEGAL challenges to allow ballots from UNREGISTERED voters. Casey and his team have lots of explaining to do.

51 laptop deniers in danger of losing security clearances

At last! Those lying bastards will, I hope, suffer the consequences of their actions! I had hoped for worse (and still do) but this is a good start.

No doubt President Trump knows how to select the people we need.

Gotta link? I’m finding stories from two years ago. For example, this one is a press release from Matt Gaetz dated 3/29/2022:

Congressman Matt Gaetz Introduces Resolution to Strip Security Clearances from Intel Officials Who Lied About Hunter Biden’s Laptop.

A bit of joy this morning.

It’s “grand political theater at its worst,” the source told The Post. “They could have asked his lawyer for any of these things. Instead, they staged a so-called raid so they can leak it to the media and use it for obvious political reasons.”

Coplan was not provided with a reason for the raid, but the source suspects it was political retribution since Polymarket accurately predicted an easy Trump triumph over Vice President Kamala Harris – as opposed to traditional polls.

The source also speculated that the government is likely piggybacking off liberal media reports that accuse Polymarket of market manipulation and rigging its polls in favor of Trump.....
------
“This is obvious political retribution by the outgoing administration against Polymarket for providing a market that correctly called the 2024 presidential election,” the source said...
-----
Billionaire Trump supporter Peter Thiel raised about $70 million in funding for Polymarket, according to a Forbes report earlier this year.

Coplan has also been photographed looking chummy with Donald Trump Jr.

In Brazilian Jiu Jitsu, we are taught that when we are choking someone out, they fight and flail the hardest just before they lose consciousness.

This is a corrupt DOJ's last flailing.

Thune met with Trump at Mar A Lage recently at a private meeting. There are insiders who think the meeting was to come to an agreement- if Trump stayed out of the Senate Majority Leader vote, Thune would work with Trump as leader.

I heard some talk about that earlier. Such a move would definitely test Thune and the Republican Senators. Will they hold a grudge for taking away their responsibility of advice and consent? Or will they continue to work with the President on passing his agenda? No doubt some Senators will get bent out of shape if Trump and Johnson move ahead on this.

Well, fuck 'em if they can't take a joke I say.

And yeah, enough Rep Senators have already said Gaetz is a no go. Gaetz is probably more hated in DC than Trump.

Here's something to think about...Assuming Trump is expecting a difficult confirmation for Gaetz, and let's say Trump is calculating he needs a backup plan to get him through, so he's looking at Recess Appointment(s). Imagine if he even thinking, we should have a backup plan for the backup plan, just in case...Gaetz has already resigned and some RINOs may be thinking this is a chance to deny Gaetz confirmation, and possibly give the middle finger to Trump. Well, as Rubio has been nominated for Secretary of State, once he's confirmed, should things go south for Gaetz's confirmation, DeSantis could make him a Senator...Boom!

I like your way of thinking

I am not going to play poker with "nhracecraft"!

Brilliant!!

You guys are assuming DeSantis would even consider doing that. I find that unlikely.

I have very much enjoyed reading this thread the last week or so, lots of winning. On election night I only made it till about 1am, when I woke up the morning of the sixth I immediately opened this thread to see the Trump victory. Hell Yeahhhhh!!!!!!!!!!!!!!





Matt Gaetz is a Brilliant Pick
Erick-Woods Erickson
Nov 14




Congressman Matt Gaetz of Florida is a brilliant pick for Attorney General. Overnight, he resigned his House seat after just getting re-elected. While some think Florida should, logistically, be able to call and hold a special election for Gaetz’s seat prior to January 3, 2025, given Gaetz’s resignation last night as confirmed by Speaker Mike Johnson, most elections lawyers I have spoken to think that might not be possible.

It should be noted that Speaker Johnson is the happiest man on earth today. Gaetz allegedly had been plotting behind the scenes to find someone to challenge Johnson, but that ended last night.

Gaetz has burned every possible bridge in the House of Representatives, and his colleagues want him gone. The House Ethics Committee intended to vote in two days to release its investigation into Gaetz and human trafficking. Only one Republican on the Ethics Committee needed to vote yes, and that would happen. If the Senate holds hearings, that will still come up. Gaetz’s departure last night killed the investigation. That suggests that this nomination is to provide pre-text for Gaetz’s resignation, and the subtext is a congressional finding that Gaetz possibly engaged in sex trafficking of young women.

Senate Republicans have no desire to confirm him. Some of those Senators just got elected to six-year terms and will outlast Donald Trump. Others do not care because they either have four years or are retiring. Gaetz can only lose four.

Susan Collins is a no. I suspect Mitch McConnell is a no. Lisa Murkowski? I doubt she’d support him. Tom Tillis? Really? Bill Cassidy?


Late last night, Senator Mullin suggested he would be a no vote.

Both of Donald Trump’s prior Attorneys General started as MAGA heroes and ended as MAGA villains. Jeff Sessions was ridiculed and laughed out of office after being celebrated as a brilliant pick. Bill Barr was branded a traitor.

Either Matt Gaetz is not confirmed and goes through a Cersei Lannister shaming that destroys his gubernatorial bid in 2026, or he gets a recess appointment into the office where he becomes the fall guy for Trump.

So Gaetz will either have to be highly successful in his position, or he will, like Icarus, crash after getting too close to the sun.

In the meantime, Donald Trump must show the American public that he is competent. Suppose Gaetz, Noem, Tulsi Gabbard, etc. prove inept. In that case, the GOP will be destroyed in 2026, and MAGA will have to rethink itself with Vance in 2028 to survive the wrath of voters willing to throw out parties in Washington that fail to deliver continually.

Donald Trump must get three things right — the border, crime, and the economy.

On the border, he has pleased no one, including his MAGA base, with Kristi Noem, whose incompetent leadership in South Dakota saw her fight for closures during COVID and fight for trans-rights due to her donors until Republicans overwhelmingly opposed both, and she pivoted to take credit for the GOP’s positions. Noem caved to the NCAA on trans issues.

On crime, Gaetz can perhaps purge the bureaucracy of those opposed to Trump, but he practiced law for 25 months before taking his seat in Congress. Ever since, he has been mired in scandal. But his pick has, overnight, improved the morale of the House GOP with his departure.

Let Donald Trump have his cabinet. In two years, let the voters judge the GOP and Trump on his picks.

Either we will have results or a body count as Trump runs over and destroys people like Gaetz.

But the reality is, I suspect, that Trump is rewarding Gaetz for his loyalty while knowing the Senate will never confirm him. That makes Gaetz a brilliant pick. Trump gets to reward his friend while feeding Gaetz to the lions. Good riddance.

Gaetz’s pick not only spares the House Republicans his presence but probably saves the Florida GOP a messy primary for Governor in 2026 because Gaetz will either be in DC or in tatters.

Don’t be surprised if Gaetz’s nomination never actually advances. His resignation ended the congressional investigation into allegations he participated in sex trafficking. Don’t be surprised if that report leaks. But he can say he left to be AG, even if he never gets there. He’ll blame the RINOs and get a TV contract. He gets an exit to escape the investigation and never gets to the Department of Justice.

With that, Trump improved the House GOP conference and helped Byron Donalds’ Florida gubernatorial bid in 2026.

By the way, a friend emailed this last night, though he said he can’t take credit for it:

A lot of people don’t know that Matt Gaetz is a quiet hero in his community. Some years ago, a young girl was crossing at a crosswalk when a drunk driver sped toward her. He would’ve hit her, and probably killed her, except that a man threw himself between the girl and the car. That Good Samaritan was injured, but the girl’s life was saved. That hero? Matt Gaetz.

That Bolton thinks ANYONE on President Trump's team trusts ANYTHING the FBI says or does is evidence of how disconnected from reality these assholes have become.

Reddit has apparently, in the space of one week, descended into complete insane conspiracy theory nuttiness, LMAO
