W.H.Grampa @WHGrampa0 🚨 BREAKING: Former staffer of John Thune CLAIMS the Senate leadership is “GLEEFULLY” BLOCKING Trump’s nominees — sparking MASSIVE political firestorm.
The ex-aide alleges Thune is INTENTIONALLY SLOW-WALKING or BLOCKING PRESIDENTIAL APPOINTMENTS, fueling accusations of a DEEP GOP INTERNAL POWER STRUGGLE and behind-the-scenes resistance.
He also points to alleged coordination tensions involving Chuck Schumer — escalating the already explosive Senate battlefield over confirmations and control.
⚠️ THIS IS NOW A FULL-BLOWN WASHINGTON WAR OVER NOMINATIONS, POWER, AND PARTY CONTROL.
Deep division. High stakes. ZERO TRUST.
What happens next COULD SHAPE THE ENTIRE AGENDA.

The country clubber do-nothing Republicans don’t realize that much of their base is MAGA. And we’re sick of their B.S.
Ultra Puke Thune must be blocking Trumps judges too. Mitch McConnel did not
Closet democrats.
Come on. No name. A grain of salt is called for.
It seems relatively simple to oust him and replace him with another?
“Mid-Term Removal: To replace a leader outside of the standard two-year cycle, a designated portion of the party’s caucus (usually around 20% or a handful of senators, depending on internal conference rules) must submit a written request to the conference chair. The chair is then required to call a special meeting to hold a no-confidence or leadership election.
“Voting: During this closed-door meeting, caucus members vote by secret ballot. If a new nominee achieves a simple majority, they become the new party leader, and consequently, the new Senate Majority Leader.”
Well that’s extraordinary given they went ‘nuclear’ multiple times and pushed them all through and there aren’t really any to block now.
But, I guess people will believe anything. Gotta convince people not to vote to help the Democrats win and then claim “well there was no difference anyway.”
“must be blocking Trumps judges too”
“Must be”? Did you look that up? The reason so few judges are being confirmed is that there are very few vacancies to fill.
These are the wannabe political elites who think of themselves as a cut above everyone else. They're a destructive bunch who are incapable of real innovation and leadership. Having them represent us is like trying to fight a battle with an army made up primarily of quartermasters who are embezzling from the supply chain.
As Steve Bannon says in the introduction to his War Room show, “I’ve had a bellyful”.
How about getting rid of John Thune.
Thune must be trying to placate the determined SD liberals. George McGovern looks better with time.
RINO Thune is doing exactly what McConnell set him up to do, I like the fact that Trump is going right after this political vomit, swear words and all.
Reason #1,670 why the 17th Amendment needs to repealed.
The SWAMP is and always has been multicultural in more ways than one. Close the swamp defund them.
Any republican is better than any democrat.
Agreed.
We need to stop being so un-selective about who we elect as “republicans”.
Those elected officials said to be “our guys” help out the democrats and then come election day we for some reason have a quota to re-elect assistant democrats. It makes entirely no sense.
Why am I required to vote for and elect assistant democrats? Nobody ever explains that question.

@ScottPresler
Chairman Jim Eschenbaum confirmed that Senate Majority Leader Thune asked me not to attend this event.
Thank you for recording everything, James Bialota.

Trump is going to call Thune in his office ask for an explanation on this.
Carville, you ignorant slut. I don’t care what this clown utters. He’s a toothless barking dog that has no idea why everything he sniffs smells like his own excrement yet he still craps in his own bed.
