Senate Select Committee on Intelligence member Mike Rounds doesn’t sound too enthusiastic about Kash Patel in the role of FBI director. In an interview this morning on ABC, the Republican senator from South Dakota said President Trump has the right to nominate Mr Patel, and the Senate will consider the “consent” from there. WATCH:
Several people are wondering if current FBI Director Chris Wray will resign. It’s a very unusual dynamic and the internal pressure will likely be on Director Wray to force President Trump to fire him, especially if the House and Senate are in session and there’s no possibility at the time for President Trump to appoint an “acting” replacement.
A lot can happen with President Trump announcing Kash Patel “will serve as” FBI Director, while a current FBI Director is still in place. Without the ability to appoint an “acting” replacement, the Deputy FBI director would take Wray’s place even if Wray was fired. Mike Rounds expresses full confidence in Chris Wray during this interview.
Guess Rounds doesn’t understand that there is a new sheriff coming to town, and HELL is coming w/him.
On top of that. he is ill-informed, blaming Russia, and exonerating our government from the responsibility of being the main cause for Putin’s actions. Pushing for Ukraine to join NATO is what broke the camel’s back, along with the election interference and the Ukraine shelling of their eastern provinces which were Russian-leaning citizens. We have been meddling in their politics from the very beginning of the split of the USSR and bear a whole lot of pure-assed blame for what is going on today. Besides, the Ukraine is loaded with Nazis, and I am surprised at the ignorance of this Senator. How many more of these clowns are still in office?
Not ill informed. He’s lying. He knows exactly what he is doing and who he is doing it for…and it ain’t you or me.
Rounds needs to go on Elon’s list to primary out if he doesn’t support Trump’s agenda. I’m sick of these Soviet hardliners clinging to power by their fingernails.
EXCELLENT NEWS: Ted Cruz Expects Kash Patel to Be Confirmed as FBI Director (VIDEO)

Actually, not good news at all, as Cruz us two faced, and often as not lies right to your face. This actually may mean he is fairly confident Patel will NOT be confirmed, and so he can vote yes, knowing it won’t effect the outcome.
You are correct. Lots of us here in TX would like to see both our RINO senators get voted out. We need two good MAGA primary candidates.
And yet…we don’t vote in the primaries in very big numbers. And IF we get a good candidate, they run one or two fake candidates to split the vote.
The Zen Master says, “We’ll see.” I like what Andrea Widburg said. https://www.americanthinker.com/blog/2024/12/the_kash_patel_nomination_is_making_all_the_right_people_very_nervous.html
Another programmed satiety of the underlings who still believes he’s relevant.
Whole lotta stupid in SD….
Thune,Rounds and Johnson
Big Ag. Chinese infiltration.
Big AG owns nearly every elected official in DC and controls many of the deep-state agencies as well. They might have more ownership of jackasses like Thune, but they are never denied what they want, even if it’s bad for america and americans. The corruption with big AG runs very deep across our nation.
To wit: ethanol.
Such a scam.
An environmental negative at every turn, raping our soil for no truly valid purpose.
Forget ethanol, think about the “engineered’ food you put in your mouth every day.
johnson, the speaker is from louisiana — WAY different outlook there
I was referring to Dusty Howdy Doodie Johnson
… and hoping Noem is cut from a different cloth.
Not a chance!
Is this all part of Gods plan? By the very act of the RINO Decepticons in the Senate, so blatantly doing what they do, are they sewing the seeds of their own destruction?
They are terrified of PDJT gaining access to the NSA database, and exposing IN THEIR OWN WORDS, their complity in Russia,Russia, the Plandemic, the Stolen election and most clearly, the J6 Insurrection set up.
In so many ways, we see the lesser enemies of PDJT, the MSM and the Dems, and the Lawfare groups, sewing the seeds of their own destruction, time and time again.
Now that the War draws down to his true, most powerful enemy, the RINO Decepticons, will they follow that same pattern?
I think, having the exact same self-awareness blindness, hubris, arrogance, let them eat cake attitude, its entirely possible that by attempting to block PDJT’s nominees, the Senate Decepticons may well be sewing the seeds of their own destruction.
And I pray its so, as I have been aware of these barstuds since Mitts Dad tried to block Barry Goldwaters nomination.
Lets see them finally ended, as a power center.
They have always been sleepily unaware of their own self-destruction. We have a much higher and more powerful goal since it’s always been about the foundation of God and our Constitution which automatically benefits everyone.
They just don’t understand it and they sure as hell don’t care about it. For them, it’s always about the money.
These basturds are all perfectly purchased. Civil service was never meant to be a showbiz career. We need to help them understand many such things…
…and we will.
“Gee, thanks Mister!”
so this slug didn’t have any problems “considering” all the ayes he gave to Biden’s knuckleheads. These people make me literally sick to my stomach.
Here’s a “what if” scenario. What if President Trump does NOT fire Chris Wray and lets him serve out his term. The wording that Trump used was “will serve as the NEXT director” There are some that think Wray is a ‘white hat’. Maybe Kash will work with the current director until Wray’s term is up? Maybe? Or even as Special Counsel?
Wouldn’t that be fun. One big RICO head fake.
Like exploding pagers only with a slower fuse.
ENOUGH WITH THE WHITE HAT BULLSHIT!
Yes, well…. wait for it!
Exactly, thank you!
Mike also praised wray
How does Wray effectively go through Melania’s underwear drawer and expect to keep his job??
Crossdresser.

I believe Merick Garland signed the search warrant for MAL raid according to what he himself admitted.
Things always seem to go back to him as “chief of weasel operations” along with his lawfare comrades Norm Eisman, Andrew Wiessman, Marc Elias and Mary McCord.
Yes…but who gave the order?
We’ll find out soon enough when we are through waterboarding these tossers.
I sure hope we all find out the answer to that question.
Once we get our election process secured so candidates are elected , rather than selected, surely we can get these duds out of office!
Enough of these RINOS is enough.
Elon says he has their # now and plans to primary them or otherwise make’em pay for their perfidy.
Thing is, while $ is important in elections, it is not the detirmining factor, exceptvwhen you have two lousy, milwutoast Uniparty empty suits, and the electorate have to decide which they dislike the least.
Look at KL’s primary campaign, outspent 10:1, and she won.
Look at PDJT’s campaigns against Hillary and Karmala.
No, I fear if Elon wants to primary the 20 Republican Senate Decepticons, he needs to first replace each Senators State R party Executive committee RINOS, with MAGA people.
Otherwise, the mere spending of lots of $ won’t make any difference.
Gonna have to find who installs those Executive Committee RINOs.
I suggest consulting everyone’s favorite Secret Society bent to the will of The City.
Weaponized to drive anti-monarchical and Communist revolutions, most infamously beginning with France in 1789, there’s a reason the Illuminati was established the very day Communism was introduced.
I agree Dutch that we have to get control of the party, but I suspect we’ve but a tiny glimpse of how our “grassroots” party is actually controlled, and it’s pretty damned well insulated from outsiders.
This is true. Look no farther than things that went on around GOP state committees and conventions in MO and AR.
This is true – and maybe especially the deep red states
WATCH: Trump-Hating Former FBI Deputy Director Andrew McCabe Says Kash Patel Nomination Signals Trump’s Intent to “Disrupt” and “Dismantle” FBI – Good!
https://www.thegatewaypundit.com/2024/12/watch-trump-hating-former-fbi-director-andrew-mccabe
The deep-state runs this country. The elected officials are largely just a puppet-show. Step out of line and the FBI will remove you from the system. Trump best continue to be careful. The system will have many more opportunities to “JFK” him.
Rounds and nearly all the GOP senators will breath a sigh of relief if they are successful. They thought their problem was over in PA over the summer. God had other plans…….
“Mike Rounds expresses full confidence in Chris Wray during this interview”. Of course, he does. Nothing less than fidelity to ruling class would be acceptable to Rounds.
Did anyone listen to the entire clip?
On Ukraine, he repeats the company line that Putin is a Tyrant, and we can not negotiate with tyrants, which is in itself absurd, and secondly that we can not trust Putin, because he breaks his word!
The audacity, given that its right there in the public record that it is the U.S. that has repeatedly broken its promises to Putin, he insults our intelligence.
Yes, the urine on our shoes is not rain, Sen. Rounds. So, step away; we don’t believe your BS!
Pres. Trump can’t allow any of the 7th floor FBI executive suite to stay. When creeps are allowed to go thru your wife’s drawers, they should be gone. Elections have consequences!
Consent my behind.
His cabinet.
His choices.
WHERE does he come up with “advice OR consent” which he then morphs into “consent or no consent”?
Asshat should be no where near the levers of power.
Yes, it specifically says “advice and consent.”
Republican Senators take their “consent” role seriously only for Republicans, but to Democrats they give a free pass no matter how crazy they may be … which is almost always.
All part of the theatrical production that has been ongoing for some time. A few in Congress play the part of RINO. While the majority take on the role of bumbling incompetency. Watch who is not facing an election challenge and how they vote.
Every one of them must face a serious challenge every single time. Otherwise they do not have to defend their own record.
SSCI? They’re reaching out of their lane.
We need a running list that can be constantly published of the people that are going against or Nation. We need a list of shame all the time, not just re-election time. These people need to be stuck in our head without thinking about who is on the side of the USA.
Start with all of them and then remove names when they prove themselves otherwise.
It’s not about only those without sin, for all men are fallible, but who prove themselves in the hard times. We must beware of those whom are wolves in sheep’s clothing thought too, who speak with forked tongues- looking at Lindsey Graham as a good case point.
Rounds peg; Square hole.
The US Senate is a hardened silo, sending out snipers to potshot President Trump’s nominees.
I concur with Steve Bannon that the Trump administration must deliver blunt force against these Neocon warlords to remind them of exactly who has a mandate from the people~
I seldom agree with Bannon, but I too agree the Decepticons must be dealt with harshly, and hopefully driven from power, once and for all.
They want to make PDJT’s nominees their “hill to die on”, so be it, lets get them out of the way, right at the beginning of PDJT’s admin.
Indeed.
Senate an Independent Body my ass!
Bloody House of Lording ain’t in the Constitution, notwithstanding the abominable Seventeenth.
47 et al needs to “kill some chickens in front of the monkeys”….asap
It’s hard not to appreciate the effectiveness of that metaphor!
The other point Bannon makes is the need for effective comms – out to the public ultimately to pressure Senators. As well as sherpa each through the process.
Comms can be that blunt force object. Kari Lake could head up and be the face…
Wray slept with the laptop under his pillow while 51 fraudsters committed election interference. He’s basically number 52.
I’d add Barr to that number. Talk about a useless POS! Or useful if you’re talking about RINO and/or Decepticons.
These senators are all noise and fury. To paraphrase Tolkien “their world is about to change”.
As Dan Bongino likes to say to the RINO Senators (paraphrasing):
“We ADVISED you by electing President Trump along with some of your sorry asses; now we want you to CONSENT to his nominees!”
Apparently winning 312 electoral votes and landsliding in with the popular vote doesn’t mean nearly as much as a Joe Biden stealing the 2020 election and getting all of his nominees in. Yes, “Republican” senators, we see you. Your states voted for DONALD J. TRUMP, we expect you to to get off your high horses to give him what the American people want.
President Trump has sent Christopher Wray a not so subtle hint to find other employment because his replacement is taking over on Jan 20, 2025. If Wray were smart, which he isn’t, he will resign with dignity.
He didn’t even mention the raid at Mar a Lago! How can this senator say he has confidence in Wray when it was his team that raided Trump’s home and framed evidence!?! Why would it be hard to understand that a president who values loyalty would not want the head of his FBI to be someone who raided his wife’s panty drawer?
With Biden’s cabinet getting exactly zero Dem nay votes, at what point do Repubs decide to stop being schmucks?
Many have chosen to be schmucks. Question is when will the few who are not give in. We have seen some of those acts of courage like from Gaetz and we see what has happened in and around him.
Now is the time for Johnson to show if he is a man of God and a Man.
Then Rounds is part of it.
A Word from the Lord/Amanda Grace 11/27/2024 (excerpt)
“And says the Spirit of the Lord this day, what is occurring with the transition is causing confusion within the factions and camps within the incoming administration. The Ringmastering must cease says the Lord this is not a show says the Lord, this is not pomp and circumstance says the Lord. Those with brilliant minds have been turned into a side show and I the Lord shall park that showboat for you shall find yourself being surrounded by a circus of disorder and it will delay what I the Lord intend to do in your nation.”
“There will be fractures I the Lord shall allow in the transition and the first 3 months in office I the Lord shall allow to sift and remove who was appointed by man however does not have the anointing or favor to be in the position.”
“Why is Trump determined to fire the FBI director?” The ABC drone asks, incredulously.
If Trump can fire the Director, he can fire the Deputy, then the next “Acting” and so on until he gets his pick.
He can fire daily, anyone who becomes “Acting” Director after his last fire.
Popcorn anyone?
South Dakota, vote this guy out! He’s a protector of the criminal deep state
Something in the water in South Dakota??? Not one but TWO UNIPARTY/RINO Senators———
All these games in D.C. are exactly why I say the solution to our problems will NEVER be found there.
We need State leadership willing to nullify the Federal Government and quit sending them payroll taxes.
Sadly, though, if we ever get a good leader; they want to go join Washington, not defeat it.
I hate rhino’s
