I have been requested to advise on South Dakota John Thune against the backdrop of the upper chamber priorities nearing the election. It’s a good topic for review.
DC is a corrupt self serving group dedicated to self preservation of their overlord positions relying on mass formation psychosis and tautological argumentation to fool the hoi polloi.
Well, at least he’s not Tom Dasch(o)le...
Go MAGA all the way. Make the GOPe irrelevant.
Every one of these Uniparty vipers need to be replaced with real Patriots. America First all the way.
The GOPe is the problem; not the solution.
Lots of Senate cleaning to do

Throw the Bass Turds OUT!
They are all raking in the envelop money until the music stops.
Wretched hive of scum and villany.
Interesting read.
I don’t know if I buy all of the writer’s premises...but he is 100% correct about McConnell being too swampy.

NDI https://www.ndi.org/board-directors (Speaking of Daschle - Donna Brazille and Stacey Abrams are board members)
IRI https://www.iri.org/who-we-are/ (Graham - McCain was the head of it at one time)
NED seems to get the most funding from congress but helps fund NDI and IRI who also get a little funding from congress.
These three NGOs are who really run our foreign policy. The CEO/president of NED which is the primary NGO of the three is this fellow, https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Damon_Wilson#Career
He’s had a say in Afghanistan and Eastern Europe affairs for 20 years and has worked closely with and at one time for, NATO.
The three NGOs are US foreign policy.
Gotta wonder, if a member of congress is on the board of an NGO funded by congress, do they get a paycheck from the NGO they appropriate funds to???
It’s a big f-ing club and we ain’t in it.
The H1B visa program is exhibit #1.

One of the more challenging facets to awakening the general public on the scale of corruption within Washington DC is the need for people to drop party designations.
This is never truer than within the U.S. Senate where the mistaken “us -vs- them” perspective remains a pesky hurdle.
The blue team and red team are mirror images of themselves. They are not opposites, they are mirrored – a big difference.
The policy objective is the same, the business model within DC (K Street) benefits the upper chamber the most.
Within this dynamic Mitch McConnell is the mirror image of Harry Reid. Mitch has been grooming his replacement for a long time; that replacement is John Thune. Senator Thune is in a position that demands stealth. Ideologically, think of John Thune as the mirror image of Gavin Newsom. They are not opposites, they are mirrored – a big difference.
The system of affluence and influence has been created to self-sustain regardless of party affiliation. The Senate is one club with one ideological perspective. Within that club rule #1 dominates: none of the members will ever expose another member. So, when there is corrupt activity within the Senate no-one from within the institution with expose another. This is the code of Omerta within the upper chamber. This is the way of the “my good friend” Senate and how it operates.
Current Senate Leader Mitch McConnell has a leadership group who carry out the institutional objectives of the upper chamber as a body, they include: Senator John Thune (whip); Senator John Barrasso (conference chair); Roy Blunt (committee chair); Todd Young (NRSC chair); Jodi Ernst (conference vice-chair); and Chuck Grassley (president pro tempore). None of these senators make a move publicly without approval from Leader McConnell.
In August of 2020, before the presidential election, Senate Whip John Thune rebuked the mail-in ballot concerns expressed by President Trump. Thune did this because ultimately the objectives of the upper chamber were more favorably aligned if President Trump was removed.
WASHINGTON DC – […] Asked if he agreed with the president’s repeated charges that mailed-in balloting will lead to a “rigged election” and “massive voter fraud,” the Senate majority whip told reporters, “I don’t.”
“Mailed-in voting has been used in a lot of places for a long time and, honestly, we’ve got a lot of folks that, as you know, they’re investing heavily in trying … to win that war. It’s always a war too for mail-in ballots. Both sides compete, and it’s always an area where I think our side, at least in my experience, has done pretty well,” Thune answered, adding: “I think we want to assure people it’s going to work, it’s secure and if they vote that way it’s going to count.” (read more)

Senator Thune is one of the primary beneficiaries of Big Ag spending and Wall Street money. Thune is the ‘whip’ of McConnell. Thune is second in Big Ag contributions, with Senator Chuck Grassley being first.
Late December, 2021, the New York Times reported {LINK} that South Dakota Senator John Thune, the heir apparent to Senate Leader Mitch McConnell, was considering retiring because the Trump influence, the MAGA base, was not in alignment with his corporate and Wall Street donor class worldview.
Those who have watched closely know Senator Mitch McConnell has positioned Senator Thune to take over in the Senate (zipper problems not withstanding). The Machiavellian purpose of the positioning is to put Thune in place as a line of defense to protect the interest of the political establishment and the aligned Fourth Branch of Government.
Now, follow this sequence closely….
Trump could be prosecuted if DOJ has evidence: GOP Sen. Rounds | ABC News
You never usually see this guy Mike Rounds…. who happens to sit on the Senate Foreign Affairs Committee… yet suddenly, the day after Thune makes his reelection bid public, Senator Rounds sticks his head out of his hole to undermine Donald Trump?
Thune, South Dakota. Rounds, South Dakota. Who else,…. Kristi Noem, South Dakota.
Governor Kristi Noem is the Koch Brothers version of Nikki Haley. A Wall Street donor favorite and open border immigration advocate who has been positioned to be a potential Republican candidate for 2024. An approved republican candidate.
DeceptiCons: Anti-Trump.
You often hear people wonder why the GOP doesn’t push-back against the Democrats. The reason is simple, the GOP are the right wing of the UniParty bird, the Democrats are the left wing. They are mirror images of each other.
Both clubs are attached to the body of big corrupt corporatist government.
Watch the trade front. Watch international trade, economics, banking and multinational corporation influence. That’s the ‘trillions are at stake,’ and that’s where the opposition to everything MAGA comes from.
This is why payment of taxes is a prudential judgment, not an obligation.
In Jan 2009 Barack Obama became President. Democrats had majorities in Congress. And with so many RINOs in both houses, Obama and the Democrats, probably could have some major damage.
Obama was handed his health care plan. After that there was enough opposition, even from his own party, that he couldn’t get much else done. No gun control. Really much of nothing.
And then, 2 years into his first term, Republicans get the Senate and gain in the House, if memory serves correctly.
So, what does he do? Begins to administer by EO
Donald Trump becomes President. Has Republican majorities to work with. He was given his tax cuts. Could have done some amazing things. After that, it was nothing but lies and obstruction, especially from his own party. Two years later he loses the Republican majorities and the Democrats, with their Republican friends, stand in his way.
So, what does he do? Administers by EO. BUT, unlike the clown he replaced, his EOs actually worked and benefitted the people.
As Carlin said…..it’s a club and we ain’t in it.
It’s all a money making game to them. Kabuki Theater.
Of 535 members of Congress, I’d say 15 might be worth a damn in the House, maybe. 100 Senators, maybe 1 or 2.
They thrive and profit on the chaos. It keeps us all distracted. They get in front of the cameras, take turns saying the same sh*t, standing proudly and stoic behind McConnell like they just held off Xeres at the Gates of Thermopylae.
They get done with their statements and then head back to their offices for laughs, a nice bourbon, cigars and to check their stocks.
And we continue to elect them so the Democrat won’t win.
