Here’s the plan, which isn’t easy, but is doable.
First, Thune has to go. Never before in the history of the Senate has a majority leader of the president’s own party kept the Senate in session to prevent recess appointments, and he has refused even to bring the SAVE America Act up for debate. ...
***
According to Rule 3 of the Senate Republican Conference, it takes only five senators to force a meeting to call for Thune’s replacement. ... In the privacy of a secret ballot, the “palace coup” needs just 27 votes to finalize the deed. ...
***
Reconciliation allows budget items to pass with a simple majority, provided they have a clear budgetary impact. ... How can election reform be framed as a budgetary item? [U]sing simple honesty, it shouldn’t be hard.
***
… But that decision goes to the Senate Parliamentarian, Elizabeth MacDonough. [S]he was appointed by the most notorious lying Dem in the history of the Senate, Harry Reid … . So don’t count on the Parliamentarian to rule in favor of reconciliation here. Thankfully, we don’t have to.
[T]he Parliamentarian’s ruling is only advisory. The President of the Senate (that is, JD Vance) can—and, if he wants to be president in ’28, will ignore her advice and let the reconciliation process continue.
[O]verruling the Parliamentarian is not without precedent: in ’49, Truman’s vice president Barkley overruled the Parliamentarian, and Rockefeller did the same in ’75.
Once Vance rules the SAVE America Act is in order, the Democrats would need 60 votes to sustain an appeal to overturn him. ...
[I]t’s up to Trump—at any cost—to make sure he gets 50 of the 53 Republican senators to vote for the SAVE America Act with Vance being the deciding vote.

But that decision goes to the Senate Parliamentarian, Elizabeth MacDonough. “
This rat hack provides cover for Thune and l don’t think he has overridden her yet. Obviously she should have been replaced but the GOPe wants her there to use.
The GOOBs need to get off the crapper and get this passed. If they don’t, they are joining the Party of Death by aiding and abetting their invasion of America. Keep the bass turds out of the voting places. Place ICE Americans at the doors. Stop the sewage. Support ICE and CBP!
I don’t understand why Republican governors don’t run their voter rolls through the SAVE database, just to see what happens. To me this is a win, win, win. Clean your rolls, demonstrate how easy the process is and take credit for the results
Passing the SAVE America Act....
Miracles
song by Marty Balin (1999)
(context different but it’s still miracles. He was in the Jefferson Airplane and this is a solo song.)
If only you believe in miracles, baby (If only you believe in miracles)
So would I.
...I might have to move heaven and earth
To prove it to you...
You feel the power
I feel the power
Then there’s really nothing we can’t do
If we wanted to, baby.
(You know we could, you know we could)
We could exist on the stars
It’d be so easy
It’d be so easy.
...
All we gotta do,
Get a little faith in you.
If only you believe in miracles, baby,
So would I.
The first step is the most essential: Thune has to go. The guy is 100% a Democrat.
JD will NEVER be a ‘Judas Pence.’ Perish the thought!
Sounds simple on paper though, doesn’t it? ;)
We are full to the gills with Quisling, feckless, ME FIRST, SCREW AMERICA RINOs in Congress!
SO FRUSTRATING! Kick Thune to the CURB! And then further into the GUTTER where he belongs. MAGA!
5 in a row now that shouldn’t have been anywhere near the leader’s job
The fact that the presidents support for a guy changes the vote of a senator is the crime here. Ron Johnson can say its stupid. And maybe it was. But we have a bigger crime. Here and it makes the presidents statements correct. You change your vote because the president does not support you? Then you need to go.
Repeal the 17th Amendment!
Thune has to go. Vance should lead the charge. Or he is done.
1975 song
John Thune, AKA “Tom Daschle, Jr.,” is the classic RINO.
Absolutely worthless. He loves the swamp.

I would not hang my hat on JD Vance.
Thune will never go, so that’s that.
I missed that section of the constitution where the parliamentarians determine anything
My step 1 would be to find out to whom or to what Thune is beholden
(It can’t be that secret, after all it is DC)(?)
My step two would be to approach Thune and in private and let him know that certain facts might become known to certain news outlets and/or certain grand juries but it might be avoidable if he steps down to spend more time with his family
I wouldn’t view it in that light that you framed it in… Personally, I believe Vance would do the right thing by the Administration, the Republican Party, in the nation. If he doesn’t, that’s not a bad thing because then he would’ve revealed himself for what some people might think about him. I don’t feel that is a bad thing.
But I assume that you and I could definitely agree on at least one thing if nothing else: Thune must go.
He has shown himself to be a deep stater of the highest order.
And, if he is not a deep stater, the people who are pulling his strings, would very much be shown as Deep staters.
And I don’t see that it’s a bad thing either
Thune needs to be ousted or sidelined, critical legislation (including the SAVE Act) passed without his roadblock, and then MacDonough replaced as Parliamentarian. All to be done early next week.
South Dakota Republican voters are as weak as water. Their senators are John Thune and Mike Rounds.
