| ‘Will end badly for him': Republican Karl Rove says Americans are already tired of Trump |
| 2025-04-20 |
Rove argued in an op-ed for The Wall Street Journal that "voters made crystal clear" what they wanted from the new administration — lower prices and a better economy. Trump promised to reduce inflation, but instead, he started a trade war, Rove stated, noting that many expect prices to rise. He also criticized the administration for supporting new issues not mentioned during the campaign. |

| Diversity Hire Karine Jean-Pierre Nearly Diversity-Fired in Palace Coup: Report |

[ZeroHedge] Via New York Post (emphasis added):“Top aides to President Biden secretly hatched a plan this past fall to replace White House press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre by recruiting outside allies to nudge her out the door, The Post has learned. My speculative belief is that the Brandon entity’s handlers must have realized what they had stepped in as soon as KJP’s more competent predecessor, Jen Psaki, left to cosplay as a newswoman at MSNBC state media, and they were left with KJP as the obvious heir to the throne with no real escape hatch, given their professed fidelity to Equity™. |

| Texas AG Ken Paxton Explains How Democrats Stole the 2020 Election |
| 2024-01-25 |
| [Gateway] In September 2023 Tucker Carlson sat down with Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton. This was after the liberals like Karl Rove attempted to remove Paxton from office and turn the Lone Star State over to the Democrat horde and their election fraud operation. Thankfully, Ken Paxton had just been acquitted of wrongdoing following a Senate trial on all Articles of Impeachment. Texas RINOs, including Bush and Rove allies, wanted Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton gone so they made up some accusations against him without evidence in an attempt to impeach him. Attorney General Ken Paxton is the one man who has stood up against the Democrat-Marxist onslaught in the great state of Texas. Democrats and Secret Sleeper Republicans hate him for this. A clip from Paxton’s interview with Tucker Carlson is presently making the rounds on social media. During the interview, AG Paxton explained to Tucker Carlson how Democrats cheated and stole the 2020 election.

| ABC News Sends Heads Rolling as Part of Disney's 7,000 Layoffs | |
| 2023-04-01 | |
 [BREITBART] ABC News is laying off dozens of employees, including some of its highest-ranking executives, as part of the Walt Disney Co.’s ongoing round of layoffs that will see 7,000 employees depart the company.
Other executives getting pink-slipped include the head of ABC News’ investigative unit, the network’s Los Angeles bureau chief, and the network’s chief spokesperson. "While these actions are never easy, they are a necessary step to ensure we’re on solid footing for the years ahead as we chart a sustainable, growth-oriented path forward for the entire organization," ABC News President Kim Godwin (pictured) reportedly said in an internal memo. Disney is laying off 7,000 employees across its numerous media properties as part of an effort to rebound from a disastrous 2022 that saw the company’s stock plunge 44 percent and its profitability take a surprising hit, resulting in the firing of CEO Bob Chapek.

| Political Pundit Mark Simone Admits Team Bush and Karl Rove are Group Behind Ron DeSantis Effort…. |
| 2023-03-28 |
| [theconservativetreehouse] Put a fork in the opposition denials to what was increasingly obvious; it’s over. Last summer we saw the fingerprints of the professional republican apparatus all over the construct that was creating the Ron DeSantis 2024 effort. The data was all going in one direction, all of the constructs were identical to the Karl Rove playbook with the single addition of the Republican Governor’s Association as a participant. As the months moved forward the Rovian elements became more and more clear. The DeSantis supporters tried to deny it, but the truth of the issue is just too obvious. Now, insider republican political pundit Mark Simone admits that Team Bush and Karl Rove are the specific organizers of the DeSantis 2024 effort. Appearing on Fox Business, Larry Kudlow asks directly, "who is behind the DeSantis campaign?" Simone admits, "yeah, it’s Karl Rove — Karl Rove has been advising DeSantis, that’s why he’s been getting a little bit better every week." Thanks to user ’Escalated Entrophy" who cut the clip for me after I found it. Additionally, CTH has also heard from a new source that has been hired to do part of the DeSantis 2024 campaign operation. Anticipate a formal 2024 campaign announcement within the next two weeks. The RdS team goal is not for DeSantis to win, the goal is to stop Trump from winning. Everything is exactly what I have been saying it was since last August. CTH was 100% correct.

| It's a Big Club, and You Ain't in it |
| 2021-02-04 |
| [American Thinker] One of comedian George Carlin’s more notable quotes, pointing out a reality of American life is, "It’s a big club, and you ain’t in it." His words are a simple commentary on the ruling class, the elites, the cabal, the establishment, or the deep state, whatever you prefer to call the Big Club. Donald Trump is the first president since Ronald Reagan to point this out. Neither men were members of the Big Club. Reagan was a former actor (the bit about serving as a two-term governor of California is conveniently omitted from his biography, instead characterizing him only as a simple thespian) who attended a little-known college in Illinois. He did not have the Ivy League degrees of Big Club members named Bush, Clinton, or Obama. Trump has an Ivy League undergraduate degree that the elites ignore, preferring to believe he is a graduate of a community college or reform school. He never held political office, instead winning the most important election in the world assisted only by his family and a handful of campaign staff. He handily defeated Big Club members Clinton, Bush, Kasich, and Rubio. He didn’t need the services of the Big Club political consultants, many of whom were part of the Lincoln Project, cofounded by a pedophile, but firm in their belief that Trump is an embarrassment, ill-mannered, amoral, and unsuited for the White House. He didn’t need help from Karl Rove, so-called Republican consulting guru, who knew of allegations against the Lincoln Project cofounder for 32 years but said nothing over the last 5 years, perhaps out of professional courtesy. So much for "see something, say something." The Big Club is bipartisan, although left leaning. Not every Democrat is a member of this club. Bernie Sanders and his supporters are certainly not. Bernie was robbed of the Democrat presidential nomination twice, likely due to the same electoral "irregularities" that gave the 2020 election to a senile grifter who hardly campaigned. Despite Bernie’s anti-capitalistic schtick, he appears to have happily sold out for money and a lake house, and is now relegated to meme status, sitting alone in a chair, bundled up with mask and mittens. Bernie and his supporters are no more welcome in the Big Club than are Trump supporters, serving only as props, protesters, or Congressional baseball game shooters. Not being in the club, Bernie will never get near the White House. Neither will his mini-me AOC or her Squad. They too are useful on social media for outrage and trash talk, but any challenges to Big Club honcho Nancy Pelosi are quickly squashed. |

| The Onerous Karl Rove: Flynn's Martial Law Idea ‘Idiotic'– Powell's Lawsuits Could Be Debunked by ‘Any Idiot |
| 2020-12-23 |
Anchor John Roberts said, "I want to ask you about these meetings that the president has been having a close group of allies about what to do regarding what happens on January 6... that some members of the House may oppose the seating of electors from their states. And then there’s other things that have been kicked around, too, which the president denies, like bringing in the military to rerun elections in certain states. What do you make of all that?" Rove said, "Talk about an idiotic idea. There’s no ability for any president to invoke the Insurrection Act of 1803, claiming that the issue has got to do with the hubbub around the election. No president would have the authority to do that. General Flynn may have served honorably in the military, but he is sure is heck, not a constitutional law scholar. And when it comes to giving good advice to the president about politics, he’s at the bottom of the list, in my opinion." When asked about Sidney Powell, Rove said, Ms. Powell has peddled theories that have little basis in fact. The idea that Hugo Chavez from the grave was somehow involved in stealing this year’s election. She was poured out in a courtroom where all of her expect witnesses, one of them was so highly prized that he had to have a code name and could be revealed. She sold him as a highly expert military intelligence analyst. He turned out to be a mid-level computer program from Dallas who couldn’t even pass the entrance exam for the 305th Intelligence Brigade in intelligence school. He couldn’t pass the exams. He was her high-level advocate. She had another expert who that couldn’t tell the difference between election precincts in townships in Michigan and Minnesota and claimed 151 percent turnout in Wayne County, Michigan, when any idiot with access to Google and the county election returns could have seen that the turnout was 51 percent, not a 151. What she has done to sort of throw mud on the president through her antics is unbelievable. The president has been so ill-served by this crowd, and she’s chief among them." |

| Karl Rove to Trump: ‘America Likes Comebacks But They Don't Like Sore Losers' |
| 2020-12-14 |
| [Breitbart] Republican strategist Karl Rove said on this week’s broadcast "Fox News Sunday" that President Donald Trump should be aware Americans do not like "sore losers." Anchor Chris Wallace asked, "The Electoral College votes tomorrow, and then on January 6, the Congress actually counts the votes and formally declares a winner. Do you expect President Trump to continue to contest the election past tomorrow, maybe even past January 6, and do you think he’s either helping or hurting both himself and the country?" Rove said, "Well, I believe that he will. I wouldn’t be surprised to see that maybe tomorrow there are attempts to disrupt the voting in the six contested states. I wouldn’t be surprised to see expressions of public support for the president’s position from Trump electors in states that he carried. I wouldn’t be surprised on January 6 — I fully expect that one senator and one representative, at minimum, that’s what’s required, can file a statement contesting the electoral college results. But I don’t see that it’s going to be overturned tomorrow, and I don’t see that it’s going to be overturned on January 6. " He added, "As to your second question, it depends on — the answer to that depends upon what’s his goal? If his goal is to lay the predicate to come back in 2024 and run again, he’s helping himself at least gain the nomination. But I think in the long run, he’s not helping himself or the country. America likes comebacks, but they don’t like sore losers, and he is on the edge of looking like a sore loser and probably will look like it after January 6." |

| McConnell Camp Planted Roy Moore Story To Help Clear Path For Trump Impeachment Attempt In 2018 | ||
| 2017-11-20 | ||
| [DCWHISPERS] What a disgusting cesspool of self-serving corruption is the nation’s capital and no better example of that can be found today than Senate Majority Leader, Mitch McConnell who, according to longtime political activist, Ned Ryun, was a primary source of the anti-Roy Moore stories that are now attempting to sway the upcoming Alabama special election and help clear the path for a Trump impeachment attempt in 2018. "...I strongly suspect it’s a very short list of people, all who are associated with Mitch McConnell ‐ whether it’s Josh Holmes, whether it’s Karl Rove, might even be Steven Law ‐ I don’t know, but I strongly, strongly suspect
According to whispers, it wasn’t just taking "political shot" at Moore that motivating the McConnell camp. They want Roy Moore out of the way and replaced with someone of McConnell’s choosing, or even Moore’s Democrat opponent, Doug Jones, a man whose career is linked to the Bill Clinton ...former Democratic president of the U.S. Bill was the second U.S. president to be impeached, the first to deny that oral sex was sex, the first to have difficulty with the definition of is... administration. Moore would be a vehement defender of POTUS Trump and his policies. If McConnell is to succeed in laying the groundwork for an impeachment trial and vote in the Senate, he will need fewer senators like Roy Moore to contend with. McConnell is said to know actual impeachment proceedings remain a distant possibility, (the Paul Ryan ...Speaker of the House, U.S. Representative for Wisconsin's 1st congressional district, serving since 1999. He is a member of the Republican Party. He proposed an alternative to President Obama's 2011 budget and made himself the target of both Democrat and Republican verbal pies... -led House would first have to vote to impeach) but he is more determined than ever to be ready should that opportunity present itself. For those who might scoff at the notion of a Republican Congress actually pursuing articles of impeachment against Donald Trump ...New York real estate developer, described by Dems as illiterate, racist, misogynistic, and what ever other unpleasant descriptions they can think of, elected by the rest of us as 45th President of the United States... , simply recall the failed votes to repeal and replace Obamacare ... aka the Affordable Care Act, an ineptly designed and worse executed piece of legislation designed to bring 17 percent of the U.S. economy under the direct control of the government. The previous iteration, known as Hillarycare, was laughed out of Washington. This stinker was passed on a party-line vote without being read... , the ongoing troubles to pass tax cuts, and the number of Republican senators who continue to openly speak out against the President. The motivation to go after Trump is there. What is left is a simple matter of numbers. Getting rid of a Roy Moore and replacing him with an anti-Trump senator would give McConnell that much more leverage to make his desire to eliminate Trump and restore Establishment control a reality.

| Trump vs Bush |
| 2016-11-10 |
 [DAWN] THERE is madness, then there’s Trump. Since a lot of lyrical indignation has already been expressed about the horrors of a Trump presidency, let me dwell on a comparison here that others have not tried to undertake yet.Remember George Bush Jr? The insanity that was his presidency may seem like a memory, but the fires he lit are still raging in the Middle East. That’s the kind of damage a madman can do from within the White House. But there are some crucial differences between Bush and Trump which make the latter far more dangerous. Start with this. Bush was an ideologue whereas Trump is nakedly an egotist. Bush lived the swashbuckling life till 40, boozing to his heart’s content, then became a born-again Christian and switched to a rigorous and disciplined lifestyle. Trump, on the other hand, is driven by little more than his own urges, rather primal ones at that. He recognises no power greater than himself, and does not consider himself accountable to any moral standard, whether in the conduct of his day-to-day life, or in his larger agenda for the country. All his life he has championed liberal causes like a woman’s right to choose, but then suddenly somewhere around 2012 he began to gravitate towards a pro-life stance, first by saying that late-term abortions should be outlawed, but slowly drifting further and further towards the hardest of anti-choice stances, ultimately getting trapped into saying that a woman deserves punishment for having an abortion. On issues like guns and race, Trump only began to court the holy warrior right when he felt its power, and the ease with which the words that sought to get their attention came out of his mouth showed he felt no compunction whatsoever in embracing such hard and divisive ...politicians call things divisivewhen when the other side sez something they don't like. Their own statements are never divisive,they're principled... stances on issues so central to American political life. It wasn’t boldness, it was audacious opportunism. Someone of this makeup can change his mind in a moment and start saying things that are completely contrary, depending on which way the wind is blowing. This is an important contrast to Bush, whose mind was firmly made up, whose thinking was anchored in his religious beliefs, and who was closely wedded to a conservative social agenda for decades and even campaigned on it. Second, Bush was very much a creature of the Republican Party whereas Trump has burned the party down to get power. Bush was the compromise candidate in 2000, the safe bet because they couldn’t agree on any of the other nominees. Once in power, he built his Camelot by bowing individually to each of the factions that the party had fragmented into. So the Christian right got the attorney general (John Ashcroft), the isolationists got the UN representative (John Bolton), the old guard got the secretary of state (Colin Powell), the military contractors got defence (Donald Rumsfeld who sought to privatise large chunks of the armed forces), and Wall Street got treasury (Henry Paulson, after O’Neill and Snow didn’t quite work out) and the neocon faction got the vice president. Trump, on the other hand, has spoken of Republican Party leaders with staggering disdain when they failed to endorse him. He didn’t seek their confidence, he demanded it and punished them terribly when they wavered. He stands above the party and will not behave as if he owes it anything. Bush’s idea of dealing with criticism was to ignore it. He read no newspapers, preferring to rely on the counsel of those around him rather than making up his own mind. He surrounded himself by likeminded advisers and his court became profoundly a victim of groupthink. Trump, on the other hand, bristles at criticism, is keenly tuned to what people are saying about him and actively seeks affirmation in the eyes of others. He cannot deal with it when he does not get this affirmation and responds reflexively to criticism. Moreover, Bush was largely empty in the upstairs quarter and actively outsourced his thinking and decision-making to others, even as he tried to present himself as "decider-in-chief". The decision to invade Iraq, for example, was not his but that of his brand of neocon advisers, led by Dick Cheney, who did much of the thinking on foreign affairs, along with Karl Rove who did the thinking on domestic matters. Trump, on the other hand, outsources nothing, preferring to retain the prerogative for himself. He demands to know what people think of a particular issue, then persecutes those who think differently from him. When he changes his mind, those around him are expected to follow suit. They will never have a say in any decision-making, while his own decisions are rooted in an opportunistic miasma of whim, greed, ambition and other animal instincts. In short, a Trump presidency is likely to be of an order of magnitude more dangerous than the Bush presidency. It took Bush almost four years to begin to realise that the invasion of Iraq may not have been the best idea, even if he never publicly acknowledged the mistake. He toyed with idea of bombing Iran, possibly with nuclear weapons according to reporting by Seymour Hersh, but never crossed that red line. He walked out of the Kyoto Protocol and showed disdain for global regimes that served as constraints on American power. But he bowed before the power of the establishment, and oversaw the implementation of the WTO and the strengthening of NATO ...the North Atlantic Treaty Organization. A collection of multinational and multilingual and multicultural armed forces, all of differing capabilities, working toward a common goal by pulling in different directions... How will Trump, with his erratic mind, whimsical instincts, centralised decision-making around himself, and total disregard for anything -- whether facts, reality, consequences, or the opinions of others -- that runs against his whims, approach the same issues? Bush showed us what can happen when the powers of the White House fall in the wrong hands. With Trump though, we have something of an order of magnitude that is far more deadly. |
