Bannon — ‘Trump may run for Congress in 2022 and lead impeachment against Biden’…
Posted by Kane on February 15, 2021 1:13 pm
Steve Bannon told a group of Boston Republicans that President Trump’s political career is far from over. Bannon predicted that Trump will come roaring back in 2024, floating the idea that Trump may be elected to congress first in 2022 and then launch impeachment proceedings against Biden, the Boston Herald reports.
“Going forward, we can transform the Republican Party into more of a MAGA movement … just immerse the Make America Great Again movement with the Republican Party, and we’re going to have massive victories in the future,” Bannon said in a Lincoln Day Breakfast speech.
Bannon said Trump could become speaker of the House in 2022 and impeach President Biden.
“We totally get rid of Nancy Pelosi, and the first act of President Trump as speaker will be to impeach Joe Biden,” Bannon said, leading to applause and hollers from the Boston Republicans.

The theory continues that Harris would be impeached too for supporting and inciting BLM rioters. As SotH he would become President and still allowed to run in 2024. 6 more years of President Trump.

Any time you concentrate massive spending power in the hands of a relatively small number of people with little oversight from the public, corruption is almost certain to ensue.

10 Crazy Examples of Unrelated Waste and Partisan Kick-Backs in New ‘COVID’ Bill
The only real solution to this corruption is to shrink the government itself—and leave fewer of our resources for unscrupulous politicians to pilfer away.
Monday, February 22, 2021
President Biden has proposed $1.9 trillion in additional COVID-19 spending. He's asking Congress to authorize another round of checks, more expanded unemployment benefits, a $15 minimum wage, and much, much more. Over the weekend, House Democrats finally released the text of the 600-page bill meant to make Biden’s broad COVID proposals a legislative reality.
Critics and economists have already attacked the proposal on the merits of its main provisions and staggering overall cost, arguing it would break the budget, incentivize unemployment, and fail to stimulate the economy. However, there’s a much simpler objection to this legislative bonanza: it’s full of unrelated pork and political priorities.
Here are 10 crazy examples of waste and partisan kick-backs that have nothing to do with COVID-19 but are in the new bill.
1. $1 Billion for ‘Racial Justice’ for Farmers
“The $1.9 trillion coronavirus stimulus package being pushed by President Biden puts more than $1 billion toward ‘socially disadvantaged’ farmers and related groups — including an equity commission, agricultural training and other assistance to advance racial justice in farming,” Fox News reports.
2. $50 Million for ‘Environmental Justice’ Grants
The legislation allocates $50 million for “environmental justice” grants via the Environmental Protection Agency. The Republican Study Commission decried these grants as a “thinly-veiled kickback” because much of this money will end up going to left-wing political groups.
3. $112 Million for California Transit Project
In an expenditure with zero apparent connection to COVID-19, the new bill allocates $112 million for the “Bay Area Rapid Transit (BART) expansion” program. The money would largely go to a specific “underground rail project in Silicon Valley for which planning has been going on for several years but hasn't yet broken ground,” Fox Business reports.
4. $10 Million for Native American Language Preservation
Slipped into the seemingly endless bill text is a $10 million appropriation to “ensure the survival and continuing vitality of Native American languages during and after the public health emergency.”
5. $200 Million for Museum and Library Services
Museums and libraries are, for the most part, closed across the country. Yet under this bill, the Institute of Museum and Library Services (did you even know that was a thing?) would be allocated $200 million in taxpayer money.
6. $750 Million for ‘Global Health’
One might expect the US Congress’s COVID-19 legislation to focus on, well, the US. But the new legislation allocates a whopping $750 million for the Centers for Disease Control to spend on global health problems and vaccination efforts in other countries.
7. $750 Million for Native American Housing
The bill also allocates $750 million—on top of existing and prior funding—for “housing assistance and supportive services programs for Native Americans.”
8. Expansion of Obamacare Subsidies
House Democrats have long sought to expand Obamacare subsidies and eliminate caps that prohibit them from going to high-income individuals. Unable to find the votes to do so via the normal legislative process, they’ve simply slipped this partisan priority into their “COVID” relief legislation.
9. Billions for Public Schools Whether They Reopen or Not
The behemoth legislation doles out $129 billion for K-12 schools, ostensibly earmarked for helping them reopen. But it’s actually just a handout for teachers’ unions and public schools. They get the money regardless of whether they reopen or not, and much of it is allocated for spending in 2022 through 2028, long after the pandemic.
10. Countless Pet Projects for Powerful Lawmakers
There are too many in the bill to count, but one glaring example of the corruption and cronyism peppered throughout this bill comes courtesy of the $1.5 million it allocates for the Seaway International Bridge. The bridge “connects New York to Canada and is a priority for New York Sen. Chuck Schumer,” the Wall Street Journalnotes.
Rampant Corruption is a Feature of Big Government, Not a Bug
One would like to think that this bill and its untold billions in waste, corruption, and pork are an unusually egregious example of Congressional dereliction. Unfortunately, this kind of dysfunction is par for the course.
Corruption is a feature, not a bug, of big government spending programs. Why? Well, any time you concentrate massive spending power in the hands of a relatively small number of people with little oversight from the public, corruption is almost certain to ensue.
“There is no such thing as a just and fair method of exercising the tremendous power that interventionism puts into the hands of the legislature and the executive,” Austrian economist Ludwig von Mises once wrote. “In many fields of the administration of interventionist measures, favoritism simply cannot be avoided.”
Think about it like this. Is there any politician in the world you would trust to dole out $1.9 trillion of your money honestly?
As Mises argued, one check on this behavior is public scrutiny. “Corruption is an evil inherent in every government not controlled by a watchful public opinion,” he wrote.
Mises was indeed right that sunlight can often keep the worst abuses of the political class at bay. But in cases like this COVID legislation, politicians are able to get away with it by burying the corrupt spending in a 600-page bill that few beyond congressional aides and journalists will ever actually read.
The average voter does not have the time to read this legislation even if they had the inclination. If it took them one minute to read each page, that’s 600 minutes, or 10 hours of their time they would have to sacrifice to really give Congress’s latest big spending legislation full scrutiny. And Congress passes bills this length—or even longer—all the time!
So, unfortunately, given the sheer volume of expenditure and legislation our massive federal government is engaged in, rigorous public oversight is all but impossible. And as long as politicians are left to dole out trillions behind closed doors, corruption will inevitably ensue.
The only real solution to this corruption is to shrink the government itself—and leave fewer of our resources for unscrupulous politicians to squander.

Over at MSNBC, they are calling those who think like me “Dead-Enders,” people who will follow Donald Trump into the bunker and die with him. It’s supposed to be an insult. That’s all right. I’ve been called worse -- domestic terrorist, white supremacist, racist. None of those slurs are accurate, but they sure do hurt.
Which is the point.
My smart-beyond-her-ninth-grade-education mother warned me about the power of political name-calling a long time ago. Back in the 1960s when I was a precocious ninth-grader myself, my mom told me never to join the Students for a Democratic Society, a left-wing antiwar group that kept sending me mail asking for a donation. If you do send them money, my mom said, then you are going to have a target on your back. Sometime, maybe years later, powerful people will come after you, call you a communist, and try to punish you.
She knew all about name-calling because she had lived through the Red Scare of the 1950s. People lost their careers for joining the wrong group, for attending the wrong rally -- for having the wrong beliefs. Lives were ruined. Blacklists kept people in fear. It was hard to believe for a young man like me who loved his country that there would ever come a time again when Americans could be marginalized and have their livelihoods threatened just for taking a political stand.
But here we are again. Today, you can’t be a Trump conservative or, heaven forbid, a Trump Republican without having not just your patriotism questioned, but your very sanity.
Over on CNN, folks like me are targeted as the Republicans trying to “roll back your right to vote.” John King, who was once a real journalist, should know better. But there he is, telling the useful idiots who watch CNN that defending against election fraud is somehow an attack on voting rights. This kind of loose talk legitimizes attacks on people like me since he states as a fact that we are working to undermine democracy.
Although I used to watch CNN and MSNBC on a regular basis, it’s pointless now unless I want to find out exactly how the left is gaslighting the American public. There is no news anymore; there is just the 24/7 propaganda war aimed at conservatives. King says that Republicans around the country are only working to reform the voting process because of what he calls “the big Trump lie about massive 2020 fraud.”
Talk about a big lie! The most tiresome one promoted by the Fake News Media these days is that Donald Trump is some sort of political Svengali who has a magic power over certain naive voters or mindless jackal Republican officials and can manipulate them into doing his will.
Nothing could be further from the truth.
Trump is not a leader in the traditional sense of inspiring his supporters to believe as he does, but rather someone who gains his strength and power from his ability to reflect the beliefs of those whom he leads. If you want to know why I am a Trump Republican, it is because only Trump has consistently and effectively put into words the values and beliefs I was armed with long before he appeared on the scene. He hasn’t always been able to effectuate those values in policy changes, but I’m willing to forgive him his failures because he -- like me -- has been the victim of cultural and political elites who despise him. They have proven they would stop at nothing to bring him to his knees, so it was no surprise to me that they rigged the election against him by changing voting rules and then blamed him for the chaos that resulted.
The canard of the second Trump impeachment was that the 45th U.S. president had incited an insurrection against the government of the United States by promoting the supposedly “baseless” conspiracy theory that Democrats had stolen the election. That presumes that his rather lackluster speech at the Ellipse on the morning of Jan. 6 had the capacity to inspire a rebellion, which it didn’t, but more importantly it deprives those who recklessly entered the U.S. Capitol of their agency and responsibility in breaking the law. It also assumes that people like me who studied the evidence and concluded that there was indeed fraud in the 2020 vote are dupes of the Great and Powerful Oz, er, Trump.
That mistake has been repeated throughout Trump’s candidacy and presidency -- over-estimating Trump’s persuasiveness and under-estimating the savvy of his audience. It wasn’t Trump who shaped the conservative movement in America, but rather the conservative movement that shaped Trump like Pygmalion into the political embodiment of heartland American values: free speech, law and order, good jobs, secure borders, equality but not equity.
If some fair-minded historian wants to make an honest attempt at writing the story of the Trump movement, that is where they should begin -- with the understanding that Trump was called into being by necessity. His genius, if you will, was recognizing the spirit of the times and riding it into the White House.
As one of the earliest media supporters of Donald Trump’s candidacy in 2015, I had the good fortune to play a minor role in catalyzing the marriage between Trump’s dynamic personality and what remained of the Tea Party movement that had nearly fizzled out since 2010. It was not by accident that the first three collections of my columns were published under the general title of “Why We Needed Trump.” There was never any doubt in my mind that no one besides Donald Trump could galvanize the untapped potential of the forgotten men and women of America and overthrow the corrupt governing system that eventually became known as “the Swamp.”
It turned out that he didn’t do it. The Swamp was bigger and dirtier than anyone suspected, but you know what? So far, the Swamp hasn’t won completely, It hasn’t vanquished Trump and it hasn’t convinced the Deplorables to go away and hide. The Russia hoax? He beat it. Ukraine impeachment sham? He beat it. Impeachment 2.0? He beat it. Yep, the Democrats are right. He’s a fighter. He doesn’t just curl up and surrender like Liz Cheney and Mitch McConnell and Ben Sasse and Nikki Haley.
If you want to know why I’m a Dead-Ender, a Trump Republican to the end, it’s this: No one else will fight like hell for the country I grew up in, the country I believe in, and the country that my forefathers died for. Trump may not be perfect; neither am I. But he damn sure didn’t have to hypnotize me or manipulate me or mislead me to get me on his side. I’ll confess: He had me at “Make America Great Again.”
He had me because he was running against Hillary. And Biden. Awful, corrupt, lifetime politicians. And it isn't just his opponents. It's their policies. Their policy is pretty much to spend your money for you on stupid **** because they know better what your money should be used for than you do. Tax, spend, tax, spend and so it goes. In a month and a half in office, Biden has put this country on a rail to oblivion.
I am not a fan of Donald Trump. I think he is a **** human being. But he has the right policies. He has the right message. His problem is in conveying that message to people that may not agree or understand what he is trying to do. That, and his apparent need to get into sissy slap fights with the media over twitter.
I'll say this...any true conservative that carries that message with the same passion and determination as Trump that can convey it to people that want something different than what the Democrats are forcing upon, er, offering America but are afraid to step off the plantation, wins in a landslide that they can't fraud their way out of. Good luck finding that person, because he/she isn't in the Republican party right now.

I would vote for Crenshaw and Scott. Nikki Haley is a clown. I don't know enough about Kristi Noem other than she is nice to look at, so I would have to research. I don't know much about Desantis either. What I do know is that he is high on the list of Conservatives that the Dems are trying to take down, so he must be ok.
My worry with all of them is this: I didn't like how Trump handled the media sometimes, but what I did like is that he didn't let them bully him into apologies or changing his position. I can't say with any certainty that any of those listed above would do the same.
Whoever runs better be ready. The media and the left is never going to like you. If the shitstorm Trump took isn't a clue enough, then that person probably shouldn't run.

I have pretty much no faith or respect for any of our current "leaders". I can't imagine getting behind any of them unless it was to help push them over the cliff.

Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis (R) announced a major push to curb Big Tech's political bias and censorship today, with measures including a ban on the censorship of political candidates and mandatory opt-outs of content filters for citizens of the Sunshine State.
Just close this thread already. Bury it, store it deep in a cave somewhere so your kids and grandkids won't find it. Believe me, it will spare you all so much embarrassment. Trump winning? Lol, biggest loser in US history.
