A report today in Politico states the next Senate Leader, the heir to the McConnell legacy, John Thune, will be endorsing South Carolina Tim Scott for the 2024 Republican presidential nomination. This approach makes sense, because the modern Senate is a rogue division within the modern branches of government.
The modern Senate has unique corrupt interests that are specific to the upper chamber, and those interests must be defended from any possibility of diminished influence. The current U.S. senate does not consider themselves to be a co-equal branch, especially since they created the weaponized intelligence apparatus to give them greater power.
The Senate is where the DeceptiCons rule with targeted desire, influence and affluence. They consider themselves more important than the government they are a part of. Nothing was more detrimental to the principle of freedom than the 17th amendment. The Senate rulers stroll the halls like Greek Gods filled with omnipotent power. They are vile parasites destroying our republican form of government… They are DeceptiCons.
WASHINGTON DC – Sen. John Thune, the Senate’s No. 2 Republican, is endorsing the presidential campaign of Sen. Tim Scott, according to a person familiar with his plans.
The South Dakota senator will appear at Scott’s presidential launch on Monday in South Carolina, the person said. Scott will announce his presidential run on Monday in North Charleston and has already launched an ad blitz.
In backing Scott, the Senate minority whip becomes the highest-ranking congressional Republican to back the South Carolina senator. And he joins his South Dakota colleague Sen. Mike Rounds in backing Scott, who is popular among Senate Republicans. Some members of House leadership have already indicated they support former President Donald Trump’s campaign.
But Thune is making good on his hopes of turning the GOP away from Trump and presenting a more forward-looking vision for the party. Thune recoiled from Trump’s efforts to overturn the 2020 election, famously declaring that his election challenge would go down on the Senate floor like a “shot dog.” That drew a political threat from Trump, but Thune easily won reelection last year.
Since then, Thune made clear he did not think Trump’s style was suitable for the party, and said in November that “it’s clear that running on relitigating the 2020 election is not a winning strategy.” He has also praised Scott’s strengths as a candidate, concluding last year that Scott has “obviously helped a lot of people around the country in the last year, raised a lot of money and built a lot of relationships that can be very useful if he does” run.
Scott could pick up more Senate endorsements in the coming days because of his throwback style of conservatism and optimistic rhetoric, particularly for Republicans looking for a non-Trump candidate to get behind. (read more)
I wonder how much pressure they will try to push on SC Governor McMasters , he was a very early supporter of PDJT in primaries when he was Lt Gov. And split from Gov . Nikki (ugh) who went all in for Ted , I believe . He is a good man and I believe loyal to PDJT .
Governor McMaster has already endorsed Trump for 2024 and is a member of Trump’s campaign leadership team (at least for SC, not sure about national).
He’s not going to drop his support. Nothing has been said publicly, but I would not be surprised if they have discussed the VP spot on the ticket.
I barely trust anyone.
Sessions was an early loyalist of Trump.
In hindsight, I view him as a RINO plant … OR… maybe after Trump won, the Deep State blackmailed Sessions. They were spying on him in his senate office. They were most likely spying on his entire life– phone’s, email, bedroom, etc.
Geez our govt has become really scummy.
Maybe all government is scummy? Always, anywhere…
I’m with you, Kare508! I trust very few people in government.
The problem is that even though in a legitimate election none of these people except Trump would win we don’t have legitimate elections anymore the deep state can cause anybody they want to win .
Joe is the perfect example of that . The American people do not decide elections the government does.
Tim Scott doesn’t stand a chance. Just doing it for the campaign cash.
Wow, if elected, he would be only the second black president ever, the first being Bill Clinton.
Seriously though, if they’re putting all their marbles in for Tim Scott, then in their minds the next election doesn’t matter, obviously South Carolina seems to fit in to the GOP’s vision of their “New America”. The GOP isn’t behind Tim Scott so they can win, they are backing Tim Scott so the Uniparty doesn’t lose.
The GOPe thinks by pandering to the minority vote they will get a GOP black POTUS
True enough, and my guess is, they will try to pull the race-card if Trump goes after him.
The GOPe has absolutely terrible strategists …
Can you even imagine the electorate EVER “electing” Clarence Thomas to the SCOTUS? Hahahaha … no … the electorate likes their black men in the squishy, safe, middle of the road UniPartyist
Thune’s endorsement says a lot. Thune wouldn’t come out for Scott without The Turtle’s blessing. So GOPe sees the writing on the wall for DeSantis. Scott’s only qualification is being a black Republican who follows instructions well. To my recollection, he has never come out on any issue against The Turtle.
The GOPe don’t have a single issue where they can say they’d do better than Trump, so they’ll run on race. And a lot of R voters will think he seems like a nice chap, uncontroversial and “gee, maybe electing him will heal some of our divisions and show that we conservatives really aren’t all racists after all”.
Scott is a globalist , but besides that, I don’t think I could support many black people after Obama. Call it what it is but I’m tired of the racism
No, I didn’t support him and actually wished I was wrong
Hmm, no I wasn’t
He would call for reparations for African Americans
All ready done, Liberia. Free one-way tickets?
Obama wasn’t black, he was bi-racial …
What’s interesting about Obama is that his father was a foreign national (Brit/Kenyan).
His mother’s family actually owned slaves (or so I read) so technically Obama would be one of the ones who should PAY reparations to the descendants of actual American slaves.
The color of Obama’s skin is irrelevant. It’s merely the product of his foreign father who was never a slave and never had to deal w/Jim Crow either.
It was free on Roku. He Claims Frank Marshall Davis is Obozo’s real father. It was worth the watch as Joel Gilbert also did the excellent “Art Of The Insult” which was pure gold.
I never thought FMD was Obama’s biological father.
He really looks nothing like either Obama Sr… or … FMD.
He does look like his mother’s father. The chin is totally Dunham.
Malia has the same Dunham chin.
I don’t think any of you understand the gravity of this. If Senator Thune endorses Tim Scott, it’s pretty much over for President Trump. Dozens of people will switch their support over to Tim Scott. And then he could be the first Republican to get 81 million votes in the primary
I don’t think so.
“Dozens”
/s
I assume you are joking.
Won’t get my vote!
He doesn’t need our votes. He needs envelopes. And they will ensure their selected person gets the most envelopes.
😆
…………….. “dozens of people will switch their support over to Tim Scott. And then he could be the first republican to get 81 million votes in the primary’.
That’s funny!!! Great since of humor!
good one!
Lol!
Um, no … Thune ha ha ha ha ha ha ha !!!!!!
This is even better.
That’s stupid, going after someone’s height
President Trump has to stop this
It’s childish
Ron Descumbag is short! Why are you getting so upset over a fact? I’m 5’1″ and people tell me I’m short all the time.
Hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha………………………………………..
Sorry but most of the dipshit electorate doesn’t know who this twit is……
Hahahahaha! Love this.
How do you send money just to Trump?
Write Trump a letter and put a check in the envelop.
Why didn’t I think of that.
His address?
And that, my friends is why DeSantis is pushing on despite horrible polling. Read somewhere he bragged he could beat Trump. I read the former Deputy National Security Advisor said the 2024 Election would be stolen
Right … the 2024 election will be stolen unless something is DONE to make the public realize that NO… mail-in ballots are secure and NO early in-person votes are secure either.
It’s OBVIOUS that cast votes/ballots CANNOT sit around (in storage rooms OR in Dominion computers)… for weeks b4 they are counted. That’s ridiculous.
The ONLY solution is to COUNT every ballot the DAY it is received, and in the presence of a staffer from BOTH campaigns, not RNC and DNC staffers.
Then, those votes are publicized DAILY so that storing them no longer is a security concern because they’ve already been counted and everyone already knows how many votes were cast for each candidate.
Americans WANT the convenience of voting early OR from their bedroom… so something must be sacrificed and that is the surprise on election day. Its not much to sacrifice… and both campaigns can work harder to get out the vote for their candidate.
But CAST ballots cannot sit anywhere other than Fort Knox, and even Fort Knox isn’t secure enough.
Even 24/7 surveillance of storage rooms is not sufficient. Epstein’s “suicide” is proof of that. Lots of ways to edit surveillance video.
ALL cast ballots must be COUNTED the same day they are received AND those votes must be publicized.
It would also give more time for attnys for each campaign to deal with questionable ballots b4 election day.
True, but if states aren’t allowing those changes because of Rinos or Swamp creatures running the state, it won’t happen. Look at Arizona. Even after proving the obviously rigged election by Katie Slobbs, is anything going to change? The citizens need to recall her, but I can assure you a rule will magically appear not letting that happen. Now the people of Arizona is under Communist rule. A rancher tried to defend himself and lands in jail; a native American man asked for help from border agents because of illegals trespassing and gets shot by border agents.

Quote from the Meatball:
“You have basically three people at this point that are credible in this whole thing – Biden, Trump and me,” DeSantis reportedly said. “And I think of those three, two have a chance to get elected president — Biden and me, based on all the data in the swing states, which is not great for the former president and probably insurmountable because people aren’t going to change their view of him.”
Well, people are certainly changing their view of you, RON.
All the data in the swing states? Interesting Ron because even the GOPe polls have you falling fast. Soon you will be single digits, like the rest of the field.
Ron, Ron, Ron…..Trump has warned you how your past is going to screw you. He already shared a pic of you as a teacher partying with high school girls. You don’t think the Dems won’t find a former student who you “sexually harrassed” or “raped” in a bathroom at a party. Cuz, Ron, they don’t need to remember the day or the year. They already have a script for her to follow but instead of the most popular boy in school, it will be a popular male teacher (Law and Order needs to be shelved for a bit):

Yep… and RD does not have nerves of steal as does Trump.
lolz. That’s cute. Scott is not Obama and regardless of support from bluepillThune. The left wing which will support this when the time is right. However It will only play up the supposed racism of the GOPe of which MAGA has no tie. This is assuming Trump stops listing to the RNC.. Stops supporting them and giving them his ear. I’ve spoken about this several times now. Trump must distance himself from the GOPe and the RNC at all cost or risk being tied into them as they detonate themselves to protect the agenda.
Trump must distance his own path from that of dirty party politics. The people are with him. If not done now, forever will it taint/collude/disrupt and/or otherwise dominate his efforts going forward..
God description of Marco Rubio and Rick Scott.
The CIA is awaiting the order.
What an idiot.
BELUSHI🤪😹🤣😍
Senator Blutarski !!!
Same pretend games ..so predictable and boring
Thune the goon.👿
Scott has acquired RINO Rot.
They endorse the most inept people (each other) and spout the party propaganda 🤮at the behest of their highest bidders.💰
The American people be damned.
I can’t bear to look or
listen.
The Great American Horror Show— Washington DC.💀
The whole of the GOP as it stands are scumbag traitors.

Meanwhile the WSj has an expose on Bill Gates and Epstein. Was Epstein blackmailing Gates because of Gates pedophilia?
Jeffrey Epstein Appeared to Threaten Bill Gates Over Microsoft Co-Founder’s Affair With Russian Bridge Player
The disgraced financier was trying to set up a philanthropic fund that he hoped would include the billionaire as an anchor donor

For those who dont have a subscription, here is asummary of the salient facts
Did Jeffrey Epstein Blackmail Bill Gates?
There has long been speculation that Jeffrey Epstein acquired much of his murky fortune and influence through a sophisticated blackmail operation, but there has been no solid evidence reported in support of this theory. Until today.

Minor quibble but I continue to assert that the 17th amendment was only the second most damaging to our freedom as well as our Republic. The most damaging was the 16th amendment that broke down the barrier of the individual state standing between us and the national government. The instant the national government had the authority to directly tax our livelihood and collect it at gunpoint, freedom was lost and is unlikely to return without its repeal
McCarthy says he now thinks FBI Director Christopher Wray WILL hand over document that Rep. James Comer claims outlines a criminal bribery scheme involving President Biden and a foreign national
Kevin McCarthy has declared the FBI is poised to hand over a potentially damning document involving Biden – after a call with the bureau’s directorAppearing for an interview Sunday, the rep offered some insight as to what transpired between him and Christopher Wray during the promised Friday callThe call came a day after feds rebuffed a subpoena requesting the still-unseen report. The request was sent by House Oversight Committee Chair James Comer

“Oh gee. Sorry Kevin, that paper was grabbed from by hand this morning when I was exciting the Hoover Building by a homeless man who mistook it for toilet paper and used it right in front of me….then ate it….then he ran away into traffic and boarded a bus!” – Wray
C’mon, he will hand him a paper with a an 6.5” by 10” black box on it. You know, national security and protecting sources and all that stuff.
The XVII Amendment is the most pernicious amendment ever spawned from the Senate. All our subsequent laws, rules, regulations, policies and procedures, owing their birth to this abortion, are called into question!

K. T. McFarland, a former Deputy National Security Advisor, says the FBI, Justice Department, and CIA will rig the 2024 U.S. presidential election, following their success in rigging 2016 and 2020, because they won’t allow any candidate to win that would hold them accountable:
“We now have black-and-white evidence that the FBI interfered in the 2016 election. When they failed to elect Hillary Clinton, they set out to destroy the Trump administration.
Go back to 2020. This time, the CIA got involved in the election with those 51 former intel agents who said the Hunter Biden laptop was Russian disinformation.
So they’ve gotten away with it for two elections. They will surely try and get away with it in 2024, right? Because there are no consequences… There is now hard evidence that there was election interference by the U.S. intelligence agencies and the Department of Justice.
Those individuals must be terrified that a Republican president comes in with a Republican Attorney General, investigates them, and charges them with all of the crimes they have committed over the last eight years. Take it to the bank. They will absolutely interfere in 2024…
These people are selling us out. Not only to foreign leaders, but they are interfering in our elections. They are tearing up the Constitution… This is just a gut punch to the American people.”
As ole Max has said for three years now, we are NOT voting ourselves out of this.

If any of my fellow Vets fall for this…..seriously. They think we are stupid.
Yeah, it is too bad about Tim Scott. I had high hopes for him when he first came to the Senate.
I like him personally, and he has had some good ideas.
However, he aligned with the establishment early on.
How come Thune didn’t endorse DeSantis though? Hmmmmm….
” light in The Loafers ” Lindsey and Senator Tim MIGHT RUN in the SAME INFLUENCE CIRCLES
Please realize the GOP is a fake opposition party. They aren’t going to save the USA.
The GOPe strategy seems to be to run people in those early states to take votes away from Trump so DeSantis can win (reduce Trump’s delegate count).
However, it is more likely to take votes from DeSantis, I would think.
Scott killed the chance of a good conservative jurist to sit on the 9th Circuit Court because he wrote something in college in a college publication that “offended” Scott somehow.
Good memory recall. The Murkowski endorsement was a no-recovery-from-that killer for me, but had a memory that I could not quite pull into focus, that earlier he had another wholly unacceptable action. There might have been more that fell by the wayside, but the court decision left a stench that would not go away.
He sure did, and Rubio joined him. The nominee questioned the extreme identity politics on campus and blatant anti-white messages, and Scott just couldn’t have that as he’s on the side of the left on those issues. Scott killed more than one good conservative judicial nomination.
……….the next Senate Leader, the heir to the McConnell legacy, John Thune, will be…given a chance to practice his upcoming royal responsibilities by…endorsing South Carolina Tim Scott for the 2024 Republican presidential nomination.
The inner circle has no intention of seeing Scott as the nominee. He’s going to be paraded around for racial purposes, and then maybe given a chance at some token position within the GOPe’s new administration. And if it all goes sour on Scott then he will have at least have padded the $resume$ for his post retirement lecture circuit tour, forever selling himself as “former presidential candidate” $cott. It’s all about the money.
John Whune?
It’s Tim Scott’s turn to have a vanity run. Poodle dog Lindsey had his run.
Every day sheds more sunlight on our governments corruption.
Thank you Sundance!!!!
They all belong in hell.
We need a “high-speed” train to get them to their destination.
If Scott is pushing Murky Murkowski, I definitely not interested.
That’s all the Senate does is protect its interest! Its time they protect the American people!
No worry kids . . . FJB will have Chinese tanks rolling in the street before Jan 20, 2025 then declares an emergency to remain in office, hell, who needs an election when we have such smart people leading the country . . .
In my humble estimation, the first black president ruined it for any potential future black presidential hopefuls, thenceforth, and that is regardless the party from which they hail.
Thune is Mitch McChina 2.0 — another useless and dangerous anti America First, anti Trump politician.
He’s another establishment, old school Rino, that should be extinct.
I don’t believe anything Thune can get in the way of MAGA. These people are kidding themselves.
Tim Scott sponsored a presidential town hall in South Carolina for Jeb Bush in 2015. So clearly, Tim Scott is another Anti-Trump person. His likely funder is therefore the Bush’s and so is Ron DeSantis.

Jeb Bush’s tell: ‘I’ve got a lot of really cool things I could do’
By Thomas Lifson
Jeb Bush is giving the impression of a depressed and defeated man, ready to throw in the towel and admit defeat in his presidential race. At a presidential town hall in South Carolina sponsored by Senator Tim Scott and attended by Rep. Trey Gowdy, the former Florida governor seemed to say he’s got better things to do.

Having McConnell’s personal butt licker endorsing Tim Scott does not bode well for Scott.
The AMERICAN people have got these political do nothing’s number they don’t have a snowball’s chance in h?ll.
The Cuck Brothers, cucking for eachother.
Thune will be a useless and despicable as China Mitch. What does the FIB have on Thune?
Keep exposing yourself GOPe.
Next step is those with no chance back out one by one and endorse Ron. That is how we got McCain and Romney. This doesn’t fly in the age of Trump. Go ask Jeb.
Zzzzzzzzzzzz.
These US Senate characters are schemers to the nth degree. Their fail safe plan with President Trump 45 was VP Pence.
If RDS has to shed the gloves and swing at Trump he will be a squished meatball after President Trump gets done with him.
A third alternate primary candidate who gets just enough votes will be pushed on President Trump for VP in return for “allowing” him a convention and electors. Scott or any of the other GOPe candidates are ready to fill the role Pence had in 45 administration. This would seem to be a fail safe to have a kibitzer in a 47 administration.
Mitch McConnell and his Wife will never be held to account for being a China Communists. Peter Schweitzer wrote about it once but they got to him.
Clown endorsement. Can’t back Trump. Doesn’t want to be seen as backing a sure loser in Desanctimonious. So you back the clown who everyone knows is a waste of time and you can say “I backed a black guy! With crooked teeth.”
Does PDJT control a few of these clowns? I think he must. The more clowns in the race to split up the anti Trump vote the better. Like Miss Lindsay always does in SC.
As Sundance has said many times, the focus is not to win. Tim Scott is another Romney/McCain/Dole etc loser for President. Tim Scott knows he can’t win and so does Thune. They don’t care since it’s all about their money and power. They don’t care about the citizens and the country.
I’m wondering how Gov Noem will turn? So far she has supported Thune in SDak, should get interesting.
I wonder if PDJT is playing this behind the scenes.
Why have Black Trey Goudy and Nimrata Randhawa in the race except to split the anti Trump vote in SC? Like the Miss Lindsay strategery.
Just a thought.
Might happen?
Live in SC and Scott considered to be Rino just like Ms Lindsey. Have open primaries in SC and the Dems vote for the Rinos in the primary and the R return the favor for certain D like Clyburn. Also get fake R to just run in primary to help split the ticket and then the Dems come into pull the appointment candidate over. Scott will not even win SC.
When General Sherman was dusted off to essentially take command of the Union Army because Lincoln was in the midst of a nervous breakdown and Grant, having been pushed back to the Carolina shoreline, was showing signs of breaking down due in part to Alcohol Abuse, it was clear that Sherman’s Blitzkrieg was the only option. When Uncle Bill’s troops rampaged through the South, derelicts would come out of the woodwork to rob, rape and kill whatever was left in the wake of the onslaught. This is what today’s GOP and their donors are like: Opportunistic Derelicts waiting patiently for whatever crumbs are to be had after the impending annihilation of America at the hands of the American Bolsheviks.
Haven’t heard anyone be quite so blunt about how Sherman’s blitzkrieg came about, but brevity is something historians often lack. Historically, derelicts always come out of the woodwork to rob, rape and kill after a disaster because there is no one left with honor and integrity to hold them accountable at the end of a pointy thing.
