#Romney: A Reckoning
Explore tagged Tumblr posts
Note
I think you kinda covered it in the Presidential elections, but maybe biographies on failed Presidential candidates? I know there was a notable one on Romney that came out last year. I'd imagine maybe some candidates like Ross Perot, Bob Dole, John Kerry (snore), or John McCain would have biographies.
The Romney book you mentioned that came out in October is definitely work checking out: Romney: A Reckoning by McKay Coppins (BOOK | KINDLE | AUDIO). Romney gave Coppins incredible access -- not just when it came to extensive interviews with him and his family and his aides, but also by giving Coppins free reign to explore his personal journals, his archives, and his private e-mails. Romney obviously had a safe seat and decided that he would be retiring soon anyway, but that's still unprecedented access for a major incumbent political figure to give to a journalist. It's a really interesting book because you get a sense that Romney is somewhat tormented by his role in modern Republican politics and his inability to turn his political party back towards what it was when Romney was Governor of Massachusetts or even when his father was Governor of Michigan.

Fuck the Democrat Party and not as much as I abhor the Tea Party for what world its existence gave birth to, but I think that one of the ways out of this mess is going to involve cannibalizing the Democrat Party and yoking that fucking edifice into action by ourselves. Municipally yes but also some people are going to have to take the L and aim to go into federal politics and deal with that hell-pit, and I think we all need to start reckoning with that now before the 2026 midterms hit.
Yeah 'oh you think we wont be in active civil war by then?' whatever, same to the ones who think there will be civil war but that it'll be the proletariat uprising of their fascist-hunting wet dreams.
No, in the last decade we watched the Republicans go from being exemplified in motherfuckers like Gingrich and Romney and McCain to DeSantis and Vance and Trump. Plus, the current Democrat party shat the bed so hard it's time we took it out back, but too many of our centrist parents and cousins won't risk their vote on a breakout third-party vote?
We need to pull a Tea Party on the Democrat Party. It's not nearly the only thing we need to do, but the only way we can deal with our best hope being another tepid run by Harris is to eat the party from the inside out, and fast.

ok so on the one hand: this Mitt Romney biography is obviously, in part, an attempt for Romney to burnish his own image and kinda skirt over the whole "simping for Trump's endorsement" bit, the "groveling for a cabinet post" thing, etc, and make him look like he had a spine all along
on the other hand: i DO love when a catty bitch with nothing left to lose does a tell-all
also i love how literally every time Romney's like "yeah so McConnell pulled me into his office and said Trump's a raging dumbass but we have to back him anyway," the author contacts McConnell for comment, and

The heckling and booing were so loud and sustained that he could barely get a word out. As he labored to push through his prepared remarks, he became fixated on a red-faced woman in the front row who was furiously screaming at him while her child stood by her side. He paused his speech.
“Aren’t you embarrassed?” he couldn’t help but ask her from the stage.

One Republican congressman confided to Romney that he wanted to vote for Trump’s second impeachment, but chose not to out of fear for his family’s safety. The congressman reasoned that Trump would be impeached by House Democrats with or without him — why put his wife and children at risk if it wouldn’t change the outcome?

Trump’s “Long Live the King” Fantasy: A Direct Attack on Democracy
#NotMyKing #EndAuthoritarianism #DefendDemocracy
On February 19, the official White House social media accounts declared Trump “KING”, posting “LONG LIVE THE KING” alongside AI-generated images of him wearing a crown. This isn’t satire—it’s a chilling escalation of his autocratic ambitions.
From President to Monarch?
In just one month, Trump has already launched an unprecedented power grab:
✅ Unilaterally shut down NYC’s congestion pricing program—overriding state authority with no legal basis.
✅ Issued 60+ executive orders, bypassing Congress and consolidating power.
✅ Seized control over independent agencies like the SEC and FCC, undermining oversight.
✅ Purged federal prosecutors, replacing them with loyalists to shield himself and his allies.
A Direct Threat to the Constitution
Legal experts warn that Trump’s monarchical posturing is not just theatrics—it’s part of a systematic dismantling of democratic checks and balances.
Columbia Law Professor Michael Dorf put it bluntly:
“The Founders specifically rejected monarchy. When a president claims royal prerogatives while dismantling accountability, it creates a constitutional crisis.”
New York Governor Kathy Hochul is already leading the charge against his executive overreach, stating:
“New York hasn’t been ruled by a king in over 250 years. We will fight this abuse of power.”
Meanwhile, opposition is growing:
🔥 23 U.S. governors signed a joint statement condemning Trump’s authoritarian moves.
🔥 Legal challenges are mounting, with lawsuits against his executive orders already in court.
🔥 Even some Republicans—like Mitt Romney—are uneasy, warning against Trump’s “monarchical affectations.”
Republicans Cheer, Fox News Celebrates
While legal experts and state officials sound the alarm, Trump’s allies are embracing the crown. Conservative media has normalized his dangerous rhetoric, with Fox News’ Sean Hannity displaying Trump’s crowned image behind his desk, joking, “Finally, a leader who acts like he’s in charge.”
A Moment of Reckoning
🚨 This is no joke. This is not politics as usual. 🚨
Trump is testing the limits of American democracy—to see if the nation will push back or kneel before him.
The Founders rejected monarchy. Will we?

The Morning Briefing: Trump 47 Reckoning Is Hitting the Dems From All Sides Now

Top O' the Briefing
Happy Tuesday, dear Kruiser Morning Briefing friends. The Sine Qua Non Sequitur is spending the day replenishing supplies at the Tri-County Organic Eggnog Collective.
Once again, it's extraordinary how different the mood is as President-elect Donald Trump is preparing for his second stint in the Oval Office.
When he won back in 2016, everything was weird. The Democrats immediately threw themselves into a visceral and unhinged tantrum, like they do. Probably half of the Republicans who voted for him were surprised that he won. The noise level was turned up to a zillion and there was confusion all around.
I remember so many people who had voted for Trump in 2016 doing a lot of hand-wringing whenever they discussed him, as if their lawyers had ordered them to issue a disclaimer at the mere mention of his name. There was still a lot of that going on in 2020 as well. I think that the Democrats were assuming that was still the case here 2024, that we thought Donald Trump was simply our least best option who we felt guilty about voting for.
It looks like it's beginning to dawn on them and some of the squishes that the MAGA folks are all pretty enthusiastic . We embrace Trump's overhaul of a GOP that had gotten too comfortable with losing to the Democrats.
Let's look at couple of things from recent news cycles. This is from something Matt wrote about Mitt Romney:
But hey, when the man is right, we should acknowledge it. In a revealing interview with CNN’s Jake Tapper on Sunday, Romney made striking comments about the state of the Republican Party, its future, and the political shifts of recent years. “Do you think that there's still — you think there's going to be a post-Trump Republican Party, or is MAGA now the Republican Party?” Tapper asked. Romney, who has often been a vocal critic of former President Donald Trump, left no doubt about where the GOP currently stands. “Oh, MAGA is the Republican Party, and Donald Trump is the Republican Party today,” he said bluntly.
Brilliant! The hand-wringing is healed!
One of the many false narratives that is being destroyed now is the notion that the Trump-supporting MAGA crowd was the fringe of the GOP. It was being perpetuated the Democrats' flying monkeys in the mainstream media, and the Never Trump crowd. It was never true at any point in this election cycle.
Scott posted an article yesterday that shows that almost everyone is sick of the open borders insanity, with 73% of the respondents in a new poll saying that they favor a strong military presence to deal with the situation.
My favorite bit of news from the weekend came from Van Jones, who is no stranger to hyperbolic takes on Republicans. Robert reports that Jones explained to Chris Cillizza (formerly of CNN) that Trump is kinda the smartest guy in the room. As Robert noted at the top of his column, the Left has been saying that Republican presidents are stupid for a long time. They started doing that with Ulysses S. Grant. William Howard Taft was probably the last one who they didn't call a paste-eater.
The mainstream media hacks haven't had much familiarity with the truth for a long time. It got worse in 2020 though, and they've been in full-time fiction writing mode since then. These are the people who spent more than half the year insisting that Joe Biden's obvious signs of dementia were a "stutter."
The work that they did in July and August to make up a Kamala Harris who never existed was stunning. The fictions that they were spinning had no foundations in reality, which is why they are all falling apart so quickly. Perhaps the MSM propagandists are finally collapsing from the exhaustion of propping up Biden and Harris for four years.
Let's hope the tantrums quiet down for a while so that the adults can get some work done.
Everything Isn't Awful

It was always a long shot, but MAGA had high hopes that Matt Gaetz would become our next attorney general. Let’s face it—he would’ve been a force to be reckoned with. But sadly, thanks to Mitch McConnell, Lisa Murkowski, and John Curtis, the new RINO senator from Utah, Gaetz fell at least one vote short of confirmation and was forced to withdraw.
READ MORE: Nikki Haley’s neocon freakout over Tulsi and RFK Jr. is dripping with Deep State irony…
That’s right, folks. We got rid of Mitt Romney, only to replace him with a newer version of the same old uniparty puppet.
Gaetz announced his withdrawal on X.
Matt Gaetz:
I had excellent meetings with Senators yesterday. I appreciate their thoughtful feedback – and the incredible support of so many. While the momentum was strong, it is clear that my confirmation was unfairly becoming a distraction to the critical work of the Trump/Vance Transition. There is no time to waste on a needlessly protracted Washington scuffle, thus I’ll be withdrawing my name from consideration to serve as Attorney General. Trump’s DOJ must be in place and ready on Day 1. I remain fully committed to see that Donald J. Trump is the most successful President in history. I will forever be honored that President Trump nominated me to lead the Department of Justice and I’m certain he will Save America.
As disappointed as many are over this, and as infuriating as it is that yet another RINO has sabotaged our America First agenda and the mandate from the American people, there is some good news in all of this. Firstly, President Trump just announced his new nominee, and again, it’s an America First warrior: Pam Bondi.
The propaganda media is already freaking out:
And they should be worried. Who could forget the masterful way Pam Bondi tore apart the Democrats’ narrative during President Trump’s first sham impeachment trial?
George Behizy:
Future Attorney General Pam Bondi masterfully defended President Trump at the sham impeachment trial and exposed the fact that Hunter & Joe Biden took bribes from Ukraine. “Hunter Biden is paid $83,000 a month to sit on that board with no experience in energy, no experience in the Ukraine, doesn’t speak the language…” I already like this lady. She’s battle-tested.
It looks like President Trump has found yet another shining America First star for his next AG nominee. As for Matt Gaetz, we came across a tweet suggesting an absolutely brilliant role for him—one we genuinely hope President Trump seriously considers.
Imagine this: Matt Gaetz as special counsel, leading an investigation into the weaponized DOJ, Jack Smith, and even the sham Mueller team. That’s the bold idea independent journalist and filmmaker Mike Cernovich floated on X:

"The Map." From the Gospel of Saint John, 2: 13-19.
Now Jesus says Christianity does not count. Not even once. We are readying to build a Third Temple and the Offshoot has not even built one. Why is this? You fuckups do not perform the Seder, not in thought, word, or deed. You sin like running water, you do not follow the Great Hillel, and you mislead the children. You are all going to pay dearly for these things.
Jesus bundles together all the laws the Christians do not follow and uses this as a whip against them. God will whip anyone that says yes to something that is forbidden by the Torah or refuses to do what is compulsory, such as the Seder.
The presence of persons teaching the opposite of the Torah in these instances in tandem with breaking secular law is reason to clear, or purify the field of all heretical influences especially confederations like the Republican Party, the Family Research Council, the Catholic Church, etc. who are trying to leglislate religion, a type of slavery that is expressly forbidden by the Torah. It is worse if the crimes include sexual slavery and this, as we know is happening.
This is what is meant by turning the Father's House into a market, a place where sex is sold, like at an auction while others sit and yearn for the truth of salvation. How many times in recent history have I heard Mitt Romney, Geoff Tunicliffe, Jeffery Holland and others claiming small children should be given iv methaphetamine and fucked on their father's lap stating "that is how we bring them to Jesus Christ!" and like David Gilcrease, a fat feverish Scientologist who claims the Bible specifies this?
All of this has to stop, the tables have to be turned. Tables are 218, ביח "Hospitals in the street." If healthy people are becoming sick, and sick people are dying because of religion, such as they are now, this is a sign the table is upside down. The Gospel of John continue:
Jesus Clears the Temple Courts
13 When it was almost time for the Jewish Passover, Jesus went up to Jerusalem. 14 In the temple courts he found people selling cattle, sheep and doves, and others sitting at tables exchanging money.
15 So he made a whip out of cords, and drove all from the temple courts, both sheep and cattle; he scattered the coins of the money changers and overturned their tables. 16 To those who sold doves he said, “Get these out of here! Stop turning my Father’s house into a market!”
17 His disciples remembered that it is written: “Zeal for your house will consume me.”[c]
18 The Jews then responded to him, “What sign can you show us to prove your authority to do all this?”
19 Jesus answered them, “Destroy this temple, and I will raise it again in three days.”
The final verse in this section states Jesus does not want Jewish people following Saul of Tarsus who did not observe the Passover or discuss the Hillels. These omissions are glaring. This means mankind has not celebrated the Seder the time of Christ when the Second Temple was destroyed. This explains quite a lot.
The Values in Gematria are:
v. 13-14: Jesus went up to Jerusalem. To go up is to climb the evolutionary ladder identified by the Torah. I have mentioned the course follows a stochastic progression. This means every object lesson, called a Mishnah has cohorts within every other Mishnah in the entire Jewish library.
Watch: we know 123 is achar, let's add 456, dahu, "understand how to be wet."
The adjective υγρος (hugros, hence our English prefix "hygro-"), meaning moist or sappy, the opposite of ξηρος (xeros), dry. It's used in Luke 23:31 only.
The noun υδωρ (hudor), meaning water, but refers mostly to fresh water and not so much to sea water (hence our English prefix "hydro-"). In the Jewish world, rain and water were closely associated with learning; the noun מורה (moreh) both means rain and teacher, and cultures were reckoned by the rivers they formed on — hence the prominence of the Nile, Jordan and Euphrates rivers, and the notion that the Garden of Eden was endowed with four rivers that together encompassed the entire known world from Ethiopia to the Indus Valley. Water was also recognized as cleaning agent, and since cleanness and survival went hand in hand, water became associated with salvation (see our article on the verb βαπτιζω, baptizo, to baptize). For a closer look at the link between cognition and the hydrological cycle, see our articles on the words ארץ ('erets), meaning land, or νεφελη (nephele), cloud."
123456= אבגדהו, "the ivy is the father of revelation of the Ein Sof, that which does not belong in the group."
The etymology refers to Water Power which we discussed in the prior frame. Lest man can serve as a pure cistern for the Rain and attain to Baptism in the Holy Spirit, He is nothing. Nothing at all. A waste of fesh and does not belong.
So Jesus going up to Jerusalem means he began to explain the equations hidden in the Alefbeis, the foundation of humanity.
The Number is 13793, יגזג exeg, a zig zag. See above.
v. 15-16: So he made a whip out of cords. The Number is 10117, ייאז, yeez, "God does not like what He sess."
"The adverb εσο (eso), meaning in, into or within; the reverse of εξο (exo), meaning out. In several places this word forms the phrase "within-man" (Romans 7:22, Ephesians 3:16) which is traditionally interpreted to refer to the inner state of someone; one's most intimate thoughts. Here at Abarim Publications we surmise that this phrase rather refers to someone who exists within somewhere, someone who's in, who's with the in-crowd (see 1 Corinthians 5:12). Our adverb occurs 8 times, see full concordance, and from it in turn come:
The adverb εσωθεν (esothen), meaning interior or on the inside, which corresponds to εξωθεν (exothen), meaning exterior. It's used 13 times; see full concordance.
The comparative εσωτερος (esoteros; hence our English word esoteric), meaning further-in. This word corresponds to εξωτερος (exoteros), meaning further-out, and is used in Acts 16:24 and Hebrews 6:19 only."
v. 17-18: Prove your authority. The Torah says the Column of Israel will manifest perfect transparency with God during the Exodus. Christians have not manifestred this sign.
From Exodus 33:11:
The LORD would speak to Moses face to face, as one speaks to a friend. Then Moses would return to the camp, but his young aide Joshua son of Nun did not leave the tent.
The Number is 14202, ידכב, yadchabe, "there is evidence we know God's Hand."
v. 19: Jesus answered them, “Destroy this temple, and I will raise it again in three days.” "Forget everything you know about God, the Torah, Jews, and worship of the Most High, and get to know the Self, the greatest gift of God there is."
The Number is 5506, הןו, hempu, "follow the map."
The journey of Adam and the Israelites out of primitive conditions into modern times has not followed the map God gave us. We do not live or abide in a slavery free fully prosperous manner. We are sinning, killing, lying, cheating, and fornicating in every way and there is suffering from quarter to quarter, from the meekest to the most powerful. God sent us this Gospel as a sign He cherishes us and wants us to make it to the end in good spirits. Some of us will have to be left behind, for many it is too late about this the Torah is clear, but those who follow the map and observe the Seder shall see God and experience His Salvation.
The Seder explains how man differentiates himself biologically from himself, his parents, other persons and undertakes the critical thinking necessary to survive the rest of his life. Each soul differentiates itself in different ways from the rest but all souls must learn how to separate from corrupt or tyrannical governments, lying faiths, sexual predators, filthy habits and partners, and become profitable members of their communities. The Seder cannot be dispensed with.

"Awaken and Shudder." From Surah 13, Ar-Rad, the Thunder.
Mitt Romney, a dried up old crystal meth hag, continues to claim he is the right and proper king of Israel and he is going to kill every Muslim in the planet if he has to in order to get them all out of the Holy Land. Mitt...has problems.
But far too few if you ask me. Like his fellows in the Republican Party and the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints, a problem the US Government should strongly consider addressing, Mister Romney is a terrorist of superlative ambitions and so far has been able to carry each and every one across the finish line.
The result is immense distrust between Jews, Muslims, Israel and Dar al Islam, and these, God told Muhammad were to be mankind's source of strength, peace, prosperity and happiness on a planet that looks like paradise.
So if all that is holding us back is an old hag, why are we allowing it? We know he and the Marriotts and the Waltons and the other Mormons attacked Israel on October 7 and stirred everyone up against Jews, all of this was far too easy.
The Quran says there must come a time it is not easy to upset the world order God established, and I believe that time is now. Such a desperately ugly man as Mitt Romney and his friends must not have such a clear advantage of the rest. This is a very big tragedy.
Let us pray for clarity about this as we wrap up Surah Ar Rad, "The Rebuke." There have always been signs. We must learn to read them and stay out of harm's way:
13: 38-43:
We have certainly sent messengers before you ˹O Prophet˺ and blessed them with wives and offspring. It was not for any messenger to bring a sign without Allah’s permission. Every destined matter has a ˹set˺ time.
Allah eliminates and confirms what He wills, and with Him is the Master Record.1
Whether We show you ˹O Prophet˺ some of what We threaten them with, or cause you to die ˹before that˺, your duty is only to deliver ˹the message˺. Judgment is for Us.
Do they not see that We gradually reduce their land from its borders? Allah decides—none can reverse His decision. And He is swift in reckoning.
Those ˹disbelievers˺ before them ˹secretly˺ planned, but Allah has the ultimate plan. He knows what every soul commits. And the disbelievers will soon know who will have the ultimate outcome.
The disbelievers say, “You ˹Muḥammad˺ are no messenger.” Say, ˹O Prophet,˺ “Allah is sufficient as a Witness between me and you, as is whoever has knowledge of the Scripture.”
Commentary:
We know what is happening on this planet is in violation of the Quran. Those who practice the Path and pray know we must make a right turn. The war against Israel has to end, the war against corruption, tyranny, and climate change has to begin.
We were taken by surprise by a secret combination created by the diabolics of the American Republican Party, that is true and it is a shame. Out in the open, God will rebuke them and kill them all like they deserve, and then we will use the time and wisdom we have earned to house, feed, educate, employ, and recreate everyone who is willing.
Thus ends the Surah.
Ar and Rad.
ع راد
"Awaken and shudder."
