The Deep State is deeper than you think!!

"McConnell says Taylor Greene's embrace of conspiracy theories a 'cancer' to GOP, country"
"Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.) on Monday blasted Georgia GOP Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene’s embrace of “loony lies and conspiracy theories” as a “cancer for the Republican Party."
“Of course she should be removed. While we can’t prevent her from calling herself a Republican, we can take a stand, and need to,” moderate GOP Rep. Adam Kinzinger (Ill.) told The Hill on Monday evening."
"One senior GOP lawmaker said:
“To quote Dean Wormer, we may have to put her on Double Secret Probation."
The real clowns of the Republican "Animal House" come home to roost...

Not to mention when it reaches to the presidency of the united states: https://www.cnn.com/videos/politics/2021/02/02/jonathan-swan-trump-december-meeting-shouting-match-axios-sciutto-nr-vpx.cnn

"Former Bush officials leave GOP over failure to disown Trump"
"Sources told Reuters that as many as 60 former officials would leave the party in the coming days, with at least one also citing Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene's (R-Ga.) promotion of conspiracy theories as a reason for their exit.
“If it continues to be the party of Trump, many of us are not going back,” said Rosario Marin, a former U.S. Treasury official, told the news service. “Unless the Senate convicts him, and rids themselves of the Trump cancer, many of us will not be going back to vote for Republican leaders.”
Jimmy Gurulé, a former Treasury under secretary, added that the Republican Party as he knew it "no longer exists."
"I’d call it the cult of Trump,”

Connolly, who secured one of the largest defamation settlements ever in the "pink slime" case against ABC News, told CNN Business that because Smartmatic's role in the 2020 general election was limited to providing services to Los Angeles County, he could easily prove all the conspiracy theories false."

"Sen. Ben Sasse (R-Neb.), who's said he may vote this month to convict former President Trump on an article of impeachment, is pushing back against possible retaliation from the Nebraska Republican State Central Committee by warning that his party must choose between “conservatism and madness.”

Marjorie Taylor Greene (Q Georgia) was kicked off her committee assignments by house vote after the house minority leader, Kevin McCarthy (Q Ca.) refused to do so.
"Greene has supported disproven far-right conspiracy theories such as Pizzagate,[4] QAnon,[5] false flag shootings,[6][7] and 9/11 conspiracy theories.[6] Additionally, she has supported the execution of prominent Democratic politicians before running for Congress.[8] She has also supported the efforts of former president Donald Trump to overturn his defeat against Democrat Joe Biden in the 2020 presidential election."

Given the comments of the CONS on this forum, it's clear where they stand...

"Federal Reserve counters arguments that Biden's COVID-19 plan is too big"

Atta boy, Joe! Get the troops involved: "Some of the troops will arrive in California within the next 10 days and begin operations by Feb. 15, with additional states to follow, Andy Slavitt, a senior advisor to Biden's Covid-19 response team, told reporters."

"Biden said he would not budge on cutting the size of his proposed $1,400 direct stimulus checks, as some lawmakers have advocated for, and criticized the Republican argument that the country could not risk adding to the debt. He said telling the American people that the U.S. doesn't have the money is not true.


“We do have the resources,” Biden said. “We just have to chose to use them.”

You may recall Perkin Elmer's major faux pas on the Hubble space telescope mirror. Specifically: "Perkin-Elmer's Danbury Optical System unit[22] was commissioned to build the optical components of the Hubble Space Telescope. The construction of the main mirror began in 1979 and completed in 1981. The polishing process ran over budget and behind schedule, producing significant friction with NASA. Due to a miscalibrated null corrector, the primary mirror was also found to have a significant spherical aberration after reaching orbit on STS-31. Perkin-Elmer's own calculations and measurements revealed the primary mirror's surface discrepancies, but the company chose to withhold that data from NASA. A NASA investigation heavily criticized Perkin-Elmer for management failings, disregarding written quality guidelines, and ignoring test data that revealed the miscalibration.[23] Corrective optics were installed on the telescope during the first Hubble service and repair mission STS-61. The correction, Corrective Optics Space Telescope Axial Replacement, was applied entirely to the secondary mirror and replaced existing instrumentation; the aberration of the primary mirror remained uncorrected.
The company agreed to pay US $15 million, essentially forgoing its fees in polishing the mirror, to avoid a threatened liability lawsuit under the False Claims Act by the Federal government. Hughes Aircraft which acquired the Danbury Optical System unit one month after the launch of the telescope, paid $10 million. The Justice Department asserted that the companies should have known about the flawed testing. Trade group Aerospace Industries Association protested when concerns were raised in the aerospace industry that aerospace companies might be held liable for failed equipment.[22]"

From the above, it seems that Hughes Aircraft got stuck with the bill.
Fast forward to today, and it appears their newly opened covid testing lab in my neck of the woods has significant reported problems: "Whistleblowers have reported lab technicians sleeping, COVID test swabs found in restrooms, a lack of documented competency and a high number of inconclusive tests, which state officials told CBS13 was due to the type of test used at the lab. The tests can detect lower levels of viral load and those are reported as inconclusive, according to the company’s response."
"State Sen. Scott Wilk, R-Santa Clarita, said he was concerned should the allegations turn out to be true.
“This is in my district and I am very troubled by it,” he said Monday. “This was allegedly a first-rate company that (Newsom) not only recruited for California, but they’re supposed to be doing testing in Oregon and Washington, as well. If they’re only doing 20,000 tests but we are paying them for 100,000 — that’s wrong.”
