The Hill ^ | 11/11/24 | Ellie Quinlan Houghtaling

Posted on 11/12/2024 10:55:35 AM PST by The Unknown Republican

With Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell on his way out, a MAGA power play amid the fight for Senate leadership is starting to rub some Republicans the wrong way.

After 17 years in the hot seat, McConnell is expected to exit his post at the top of Senate Republican leadership on Wednesday, ending his run as the longest-serving Senate party leader in U.S. history...

Thune has to be the worst, Coryn I don't trust.

Senators are free to oppose the will of their constituents. Their votes will be discovered. They will be held accountable.

it’s Trump’s party now........ he picked up a bankrupt GOP in 2015 for pennies on the dollar. We call that “Art of the Deal”

The First Amendment apparently doesn’t apply to communicating with Senaturds (unless you’re a lobbyist).

YOU

work

for

US.

these rinos remind me of something i read in the most published book in world history

Jhn 12:4

But Judas Iscariot, one of His disciples, who was intending to betray Him, *said,

Jhn 12:5

“Why was this perfume not sold for three hundred denarii and given to poor people?”

Jhn 12:6

Now he said this, not because he was concerned about the poor, but because he was a thief, and as he had the money box, he used to pilfer what was put into it.
