RINO JOHN THUNE STABS AMERICA IN THE BACK YET AGAIN: Refuses CBDC Ban in ANY Legislation, Declares “NO SAVE AMERICA”
Gateway Pundit ^

Posted on 04/30/2026 4:54:31 AM PDT by Tench_Coxe

Another day, another warning sign from the Washington establishment.

Senate Majority Leader John Thune has reportedly will BLOCK a permanent ban on Central Bank Digital Currencies (CBDCs) in ANY legislation the House sends over, and also “No SAVE America.”

Rep. Anna Paulina Luna (R-FL), one of the few true fighters left in Congress, dropped this bombshell warning to the nation on X:
“Attention America: John Thune has said he will not support a CBDC ban in any of the legislation we send over. He also has said No Save America.”

And shortly after Luna’s post, Rep. Tim Burchett confirmed it on his account, writing on X:
“I was there I heard it.”

That's where the Deep State gums things up. They make sure stooges are in key positions. McConnell, now Thune.

So they want CBDCs. Note they're still keeping the surveillance mandate for vehicles starting in 2027.

You can bet there is going to be some sort of geofencing in the not too distant future.

They're waiting out Trump, imho.

True. There’s something seriously wrong with thune, and the fact that the republicans continue to tolerate him tells the tale about them too. It’s way past time to remove him and his daddy mitch.

If you follow John Konrad, the real problem might just be with Thune’s staffers. And obviously the buck stops with him. Still, it behooves us to better understand the root of the problem.

I should post this as a new item here, this is well worth reading:

John Thune has become a punching bag for good reason but there is a more insidious force at play nobody can talk about. Let me explain…

For those who don’t have an X account (you should) add ‘cancel’ after x in the URL.

Thune is picking up where Ditch McConnell left off. Thune is a swamp creature through and through.

Thune is America’s Keir Starmer. Blame all the Republicans who voted for this pile of human garbage. It only takes 5 Senators to recall this POS. Or one FBI to investigate who’s paying him. Lol.

McConnell, Thune, are the actual republican party. They are elitists who never did care about the average people in the country.

The are not the RINOs. They ARE the republicans in reality. This idea that that party would be allowed to be overtaken by conservatives or right leaning populists was a no no.

They are die hard not going to move. They do not care care about winning. Only preserving “The party institution”.

Another party would have had to be formed to defeat them and remove their power. I am sure there are others like Thune groomed to do just what McConnell and Thune have done waiting in the wings.

Trump tries to deal with them and probably thinks they will cooperate or return favors.

They will never do that.

“SAVE America Act”

Perhaps:

1. No ballot or equivalent for an election for the House of Representatives shall be issued with respect to a person who is not a citizen of the United States.

2. Violation of provision 1 shall be punished by a fine of $200/occurrence to be levied on the jurisdiction conducting the election, and also on the state of the jurisdiction, to be tripled if the ballot was issued was not contemporaneously transferred to the person.

3. If violations of provision 1 exceeded .5% of the total number of ballots and equivalents counted for an election of a federal constitutional officer, the President may prior to January 20, 2029 require the seat to stand vacant, each and every related voter roll to cleansed by the Federal Elections Commission down to only persons evidencing to the Commission of their US citizenship and entitled to have voted in the initial election, then frozen, and the election held over again.

4. After each federal election, each election database (voter rolls, registration records, voting machine data, etc.), certified by a custodian such as a supervisor of elections, shall be submitted to the Federal Election Commission in the manner and to the extent the Commission shall specify within 10 days after the time for counting has elapsed. The Commission shall make the information received promptly available to the Department of Justice. The information shall available under the Freedom of Information Act, subject to the provisions of that Act, for period starting 30 days after receipt and ending one year after the final day of the election.

5. Each jurisdiction having authority over the election shall provide such additional information and data sets as the Commission reasonably deems necessary.

NOTE: That doesn’t make it any more difficult for people to vote.

Keep Purging RINOS.

If we want a Republican party that actually represents the voters, we need to just keep flushing RINO scum down the toilet with every election. The Turtle and Tillis are "retiring". Cornyn looks like he's toast in Texas. Cassidy looks like he's toast in Louisiana. Now to purge Lady Lindsey in South Carolina......I wish a good MAGA candidate had stepped up to get rid of Moore-Capito in West Virginia. Still, getting rid of 5-6 RINOs in the Senate would seriously weaken them. Once they've been weakened enough, we can oust Thune from the Speaker's chair.

Bingo!

The snakes can afford to wait, they got six year terms and massive campaign chests because the snakes get more jack for selling the country out than those in the “People’s” House.

Thune is bought wholesale by the CCP.

You cannot blame the worker bees because the boss is a eunuch.

Thune has no balls, is on the take and they must have pictures of him being humped by a donkey.

We finally get rid of the turtle and now we get a mexican show pervert.

I had hopes of great things in Trump's third term, but he'll be lucky to survive {both physically and politically} with the dirt bags that are supposed to be on our side and all of the crazies running around with weapons.

Thune has forgotten his SouthDakota roots and needs to go. He has been in the swamp far too long.

Thune demonstrating why the 17th Amendment needs to be repealed! The South Dakota legislature couldn’t make a worse choice!

Could Thune and Boasburg be brothers separated at birth?
