Calm down. Thune is far, far from my favorite senator, and there are about 97 or 98 fake patriots in the Senate. But the big thing is to pass them before the Senate recesses, which Thune has sworn to do. So long as he gets there, I’m willing to let him handle the tactics.

I’m beginning to think he’s part of the problem too. We have the majority in the Senate and the rats are dictating how and when to vote? I’m sorry but the rumors were true about Thune being another corrupt RINOS anti-Trump POS! Scott would’ve immediately voted in trump’s candidate. Those positions would’ve already been filled. The DC swamp is deep and very very corrupt. Our representatives speak a great game but when it comes to action they fold like cheap cards.

No we WON’T calm down. We’ve had a lot of experience knowing all the freaking corruption that happens in the swamp including with our very own backstabbing representatives. We must continue to put pressure on THUNE and the rest of the senators! This time it’s different we have to fight fight fight! We will not bend we will not give in and we will not stop fighting. I want you to know that Biden got all his nominees approved in record time. And if that doesn’t impress you Obama on his first day on the job had nine of his nominees approved in one day. So don’t give me none of this calm down! We want them all appointed by next week or all hell is going to break loose.

“vote on ALL of them immediately”

If any Republican might vote ‘No’ on a person, hold off until that Republican is convinced otherwise, or a surefire majority is lined up.

Calmly ask the necessary questions and get the answers so excuses won’t fly.

The rules of the Senate are two hundred years old. He is following them.

The rules are there to slow the process to a crawl. That is the intent of the Senate.

He will get it done.

the fact is everyone already knows how they are going to vote. Every candidate should simply be given a questionnaire to fill out that all Senators have access to, and then give every candidate an immediate up or down vote. Anyone who cant get a majority, then and only then gets referred to committee for further interviews. But lets get the majority through ASAP so we can start making America great again.

Unlax. Trump has been President less than 3 days. Save the hysteria until we get a chance to see what actually happens in the Senate.

Are Rubio and Vance’s replacements both sworn in?

Thune is down 3 (McConnell, Murkowski, and Collins) so if any seats are vacant, he doesn’t have the votes to confirm anybody.

Let’s see if Thune schedules hearings over the week-end as he has threatened to do.

Now that I have the whole plan, I can say you’ve absolutely right.

Hold the fire on Thune. All it takes is one committee member to put a 7 day hold on the final vote. Some ahole Democrat has done that to Pam Bondi.
