No Trump judges, no voter ID SAVE Act, 50 bills already passed by the house in limbo.

Pardon my language, but this guy is a worthless piece of shit. He’s worse than a grifter Democrat. Fetterman has done more for the Republican platform than this weasel. Treacherous rat.

I think Thune is getting blackmailed from corruption on the Ukraine funds.

if congress can’t even pass a citizenship id law to vote in federal elections,
congress has proven itself useless
and maybe DOGE might look to eliminate it as a wasted expense item from the budget

As usual, Mr. Woods could stand to do a little research.

Woods just constantly throws tantrums for the sake of doing so.

There are some people around here *still* attacking Thune over Senate recesses saying it is because Thune wants to block Trump nominees, even though, several months ago now, he used the nuclear option and pushed them through.

This is not to praise how the Senate has operated under Thune, but let’s have our criticisms be based on reality rather than fiction.

John Thune, AKA “Tom Daschle, Jr.,” is the classic RINO.
Absolutely worthless. He loves the swamp.

I have to agree. At the root of this bastardly issue is, I believe, the filthy scumbag Mitch McConnell.

He’s up for re-election in 2028.

If I were a South Dakotan, my mantra would be ABT… Anyone But Thune…

The President of the Senate should show up one day, change the filibuster rules and replace the Parliamentarian. Bada bing bada boom.

How did he get to the top of the list to replace McConnell? Once I heard Thune was in the running I knew the fix was in. Same gos for Mike Johnson as Speaker.

What “reality” you talking about?
Reality of “no voter ID SAVE Act, 50 bills already passed by the house in limbo”?

Can’t the president force Congress closed and make recess appts. during the resulting two-week interim? The Constitution grants the president this authority, but it has never been tried. When Pres. Bush Jr. tried to make recess appts. when the Senate was adjourned, the snake Harry Reid devised a way to prevent it by gaveling Senate open and then immediately closed. I’d like to see Pres. Trump give the forced closure gambit a try.

“A nation can survive its fools, and even the ambitious. But it cannot survive treason from within. An enemy at the gates is less formidable, for he is known and carries his banner openly. But the traitor moves amongst those within the gate freely, his sly whispers rustling through all the alleys, heard in the very halls of government itself. For the traitor appears not a traitor; he speaks in accents familiar to his victims, and he wears their face and their arguments, he appeals to the baseness that lies deep in the hearts of all men. He rots the soul of a nation, he works secretly and unknown in the night to undermine the pillars of the city, he infects the body politic so that it can no longer resist. A murderer is less to fear.”
- Marcus Tullius Cicero

Perfect. June 12, do not renew it if save act is not passed. Re districting is for naught without it.

Unfortunately for us, the President of the Senate (the Vice President) does not have that power. That power belongs to the majority party in the Senate.

And yes, that’s the GOP. But they’d rather do nothing than something.

“I think Thune is getting blackmailed from corruption on the Ukraine funds.”


Blackmail, bribery, or extortion. It has to be one of the three. Nothing else explains his actions (or inaction).

JUST IN:

President Trump to address the nation at 9:00 PM EST tonight.

What’s this all about?
