MontanaMama's bombshell post disappeared too fast. Check it out. I don't think the feud is kabuki.

Seriously, I think you'll want to read this thing.

Seems like Musk and influential people who are "on the front page of the paper every day" have been gathering in Missoula, Montana since the weekend, and Vance is due to join them tomorrow. And it's all hush hush, right down to the NDA's for all the airport employees.

Even if somehow Trump's cabinet agrees to it. Trump can and will contest it. It then requires both houses of congress to vote with a 2/3 majority to make it stick.

Its even harder than impeachment which only requires a majority in the house and 2/3 in the senate.

There is no way 2/3 of the house , or the senate for that matter would vote to 25th Trump out.

Musk has all the data on everyone now. Who knows what he's got on Taco?

I understand we have all been through years of "He's going to jail within months!!1!" so I'm not believing anything, but I do think this is a very suspicious gathering, and the possibilities of what they're up to are endless.

The msm can spin bullshit into a silk purse if they want/need to. Disparaging the real king is unforgivable. tsf is appearing to be mentally deteriorating. Rapidly.

and Vance was Thiel's financial VP pick (Senate too).

Leonard Leo was just called out (his ego has to be in flames right now) and Secretaries and their deputies are being fired for suggesting to Congress that maybe their departments shouldn't be eliminated... Small business are in limbo and big money is freaking out because of all of the uncertainty... Our (former) allies wouldn't share intelligence with us on a dare due to the clown show running intelligence... The game Putin is playing with Trump is beyond hilarious - even funnier that Trump truly doesn't see it - but Congress does, and all but a handful are no doubt desperately seeking an off ramp.

The speed at which the man-child has threatened/extorted/pissed-off shitloads of allies and torpedo'd our international reputation may not have been expected by the Project 2025 cabal, and SCOTUS handing over immediate unfettered (and unaccountable) access to our most sensitive and critical personal data this quickly most certainly wasn't.

If they feel like they are ahead of schedule, it may be time to build the case for the 25th before his next temper tantrum sets off WWIII.



Regardless, I just keep thinking Buckle Up.
