John Thune Elected Senate Majority Leader

[Fx51LP308]

Looks like Rick Scott got kicked out on the 1st Ballot.

Well I Hope Pres. Trump (or his sons) can "incentivize" Thune to get some of Trump's legislation through. Especially the 2A stuff.

And, At least we here in FL don't have two Senators to replace. I've been hearing rumours about Lara Trump replacing Rubio. That would be really nice, but we'll see.

He has been tight with the Turtle. Was a never Trumper and votes with the dems alot!
He is a RINO and will be a real shock if he moves positively on Trump's agenda!
My opinion is he does exactly what Mitch the bitch did for Trump and America. Nothing!

 

[Charger442]

Thune is bad. Cornyn would have been worse.

Next trick is to primary Cornyn's ass with Brandon Herrera and then kick the crap out of whatever pud the Dems throw at us.

This… except Chip Roy.

I’m in Chip’s district, and would hate to lose him as my Representative, but would rather see him in the Senate.

And beyond.

We need Chip to be the head of some pretty important house committees. I like him a lot and maybe he is an easier vote getter than Hererra.

Last time we tried to primary him, the Texas GOP, mostly through the chairman, colluded with him in the primary and made it seem like he was the chosen candidate. They were sending out official Texas GOP flyers for him when in the primary thats not what they are supposed to do. I know there were lawsuits filed, but I dont know if they every went anywhere.

I expect the same next time.

 

[sirhrmechanic]

Fucking McConnell… Covaine Mitch needs a tribunal.

What dirt is there on Thune…

Sirhr

 

[91Eunozs]

Regardless of who, we have to start working right now to punt that RINO fuck Cornyn out in the 2026 Primary.

I’ve already sent a letter to Chip’s office, and have asked the Comal County Republican committee on what the next steps are for local engagement/advocacy, but nothing has started to gel yet. Maybe some local fund raisers…

Would appreciate any ideas.

 

[vh20]

Well, at least he just said all the right things at his press conference just now..."our top priority is to pass the Trump agenda."

We'll see...

 

[wvfarrier]

Once the new members take office there should be enough pro trump members to remove thune and put someone else in. Thune is a consumate never trumper.

Whoever Trump picks as AG needs to have a team crawl up Thune's colon so far that there is nothing that fuck can hide... e-mails. Stock trades. Donors. What underage male intern is he boning. Every bit of dirt in that motherfucker's RINO life. And if he so much as puts a toe out of line he will be in fucking jail...

Fucking Mitch needs a tribunal now. That China-bitch cocaine POS needs his entire net worth to be stripped away as ill-gotten gains.

The fucking swamp needs to go. Now. Or we will have no Republic. No holds barred.

Not McConnell is a start but I was hoping someone like Mike Lee or Rand Paul might somehow slip in. Lara Trump will
Never be rubios replacement because tulsi Gabbard sold be the sec of state

Desantis appointing Trump is a bad look.

Easy to knock Mc Connell, but we do have him to thank that Garland is not on the Supreme Court. I will always appreciate that.

Agree. I don't believe in political dynasties. Adams's, Roosevelts, Kennedys, Bush's... and sooner or later Obama's and Clinton's.... I think the Bidens are toast! ;-)

Do NOT need a shit-ton of Trump's suddenly glomming off daddy's success. Go be a success in business. Law. Military, etc. And MAYBE... if you do amazing you might earn the ability to follow in Dad, uncle, cousin, uncle-cousin (I mean, they are in Florida)'s footsteps.

I think Baron is being groomed for office. But the kid needs to go spend a couple of decades on construction sites or in the Airborne or something. Then 'might' consider rescinding my 'dynasty's' comment.

Cheers,

Senate "leaders" are made up titles. They are not codified into any law. The Constitution says the Vice President of the US is the President of the Senate. Vance has the authority to say no more majority/minority leaders and take an active role in the Senate process instead of just being a figurehead. Libs will cry fascism. Congress will cry because their power is being reigned in. But there's not a damn thing they can do to stop it.

Holy shit. Matt gates as attorney general? I honestly can’t stand him. And I also heard tulsi is DNI

Like him or not…and I understand your position, I don’t trust any of them at this point…but I still think Gaetz is a good pick.

Proof will be in the pudding though…

I’d have rather seen someone like Mike Flynn in there…someone with a big ass axe to grind. Probably be counterproductive in the long run though, so maybe this was the right choice.

We’ll see.

Yeah.......and..........." Burn their fucking house down"

Edit: In memory of another / different thread.

 

[mvphilly]

Exactly and the one from Texas was even worse both Anti USA anti Trump.

 

[sirhrmechanic]

Yeah.......and..........." Burn their fucking house down"

Good call!!!

 

[mvphilly]

Isnt Thune from one of the Dakotas?Why cant Noem straighten him out?

 

[whiskeytower]

Cornhole from Tx is a total pile of shit. Left over democrat from years passed. Iq is way below average as well.

Trump's success in this election is a direct result of Laura Trump's efforts as Co-Chair of the RNC. We've bitched here about how nothing was being done to "stop the steal", but she DID it. She sent armies of lawyers into all the places that were suspect, and dared them to try it again. They blinked. She isn't glomming off his success. She helped him achieve it. If McDaniel was still in there, we'd be looking at President-Elect Harris right now. The last three Chairs have been failures (and stupid choices to begin with). So yeah, if they want to appoint her to replace Rubio I'm fine with that. She earned it, and she will be reliable.

I do agree with your comment about political dynasties in general, though. However, in this case she's way ahead of the curve vs. anyone else in the family, and she's only family by marriage. That Trump trusted her with the "impossible" job of stopping the steal says how much he thinks of her.

 

[Cody S]

im behind a Trump dynasty 100%.
shit id give him a coronation at this point based on his picks. he's going harder than the first time. Trump really might end up as the greatest president of all time. fact is stranger than fiction.

I was hoping it would be Pam Bondi or Matt Whittaker. But if we want an axe to grind, Gaetz has one. The DOJ came after him. The Talking Heads are saying that he was picked mostly to clean out the deep state in the DOJ. If he does it, he will have been the perfect pick.

 

[nagantguy]

I’m wondering what Steve Brannon will get - talk about someone with an axe to grind !
Maybe Bannon could be the implementation Czar, drop buy versions offices all day with a Escalade full of pipe hitters and make sure these cabinet picks aren’t up to any faggotry

Spent some time with Matt Gaetz at a Veteran's Day lunch in 2022 here in the panhandle. His private and public words at that lunch (yes, to veterans and their spouses) were highly encouraging to me. During our private conversation, he listened intently, and "heard" me. My gut is that he knows how deep the swamp is, and is fearless. His military affairs aide was very interested in my views of the Covid vaccination and how it was hurting my patients (and Gaetz's concern was the effect on military readiness). I typically do not care for politicians, but Matt Gaetz has my unqualified support. No, he is not perfect, probably has some prior misjudgments, but his stunning wife should shield him on that front...

Thanks for the first-hand report. Good to know.

The replacing elected congress people thing worries me because you know the Democrats will blow millions trying to steal the seats while nobody is watching. Here in Arizona our new Senator is an anti-America anchor baby who calls Trump a racist.

Well, hopefully, with Lara Trump still at the RNC, we will continue to keep watch over that. And, hopefully, they made sure to pick people in very "safe" districts (I think Matt Gaetz's is safe for us). We shall see.

 

[BCP]

Lara Trump still at the RNC

Trump would've lost without her. The RNC would've had some Romney type fuckhead in charge and Kamala would be sitting on top of 90mil votes.

 

[Cody S]

im fairly confident thune will be good to trump for at least 2 years.
