More of this is needed. Today, Illinois Senator Dick Durbin (D) and Ohio Senator JD Vance (R) confronted each other in the upper chamber over DOJ nominees that Senator Vance refuses to advance with unanimous consent.
Durbin was furious at the blocks JD Vance was putting in front of the Joe Biden nominees for U.S. Attorney and criticized Vance for campaigning on “law and order” while blocking those DOJ nominees advanced by Durbin. In response, Senator Vance delivered remarks promising to block every DOJ nomination as long as Joe Biden continues weaponizing Main Justice and the USAO nominations to target his political opposition. WATCH [prompted to the Vance response]:
.
JD Vance has some tenuous network affiliations in his background that give me a little pause; however, on the substance of this issue, he is righteous in this approach.
There has been little, if any, Republican push-back to the radical nature of the onslaught brought forth by Biden, DAG Lisa Monaco and AG Merrick Garland. Factually the Lawfare tactics have increased in weaponized intensity throughout the Biden term in office.
The Republican House has the ability to block the funding mechanism, and the Republican minority in the Senate have the ability to block the nominees. Until now, we have seen little, if any, effort by either chamber to bring the Biden rogue elements to heel. Perhaps this is the start. Regardless, it is at least a step in the right direction.
This is a time of great consequence, deliberate choosing and decisions to be made.
History will long remember where each of the participants in our governmental bodies stand in these moments of crisis.
A based Senator JD Vance is making a good decision.
That’s Durbin “furious?” LOL!
Durbin’s response borders more on INSANE!! “Make life safer” MY ASS!! CLOSE THE FLIPPIN BORDER YOU PATHOLOGICAL LIAR!
Quite the hypocrite is wittle dicky durbin……….leave the border open but we gotta have attorneys to stop fentanyl ……..cart/horse.
Wittle dicky probably gets a kickback from Chyna for every gram coming across the border.
I echoed your reply.
These leftists are vaccine injured and cognitively impaired. Their party is a zombie hive mind who take their orders from their intelligence handlers. Mass Formation Psychosis.
Naw.
They’re just evil.
I don’t cut them any slack.
No vax for congress critters. They all got saline.
Great minds think alike.
Maja Rushie used to call him “LIttle Dick Turbin” and with good cause.
Durbin is one step ahead of the reaper. Such a snake.
Well…God Bless Senator J.D.Vance!!!
MAGA all the way Senator!
You can be a Star Motivator for the future of Making America Great Again!!
Do Not Cave! Stiffen you Spine!
This is WAR!!!
Excellent!!!
Might want to do some research on JD Vance. I have a feeling he may be on the list of MAGA successors after PDJT’s next term. If he’s something other than MAGA, I’d like to know sooner rather than later.
Buckeye here. I was REALLY down on Vance due to his incredibly stoooopid comments on VSGDJT and I said so many times in these pages.
I held my nose and voted for him as that is what POTUS DJT asked of me.
However Vance has eaten a lot of crow and so far he has been pretty solid.
Call me cautiously optimistic toward Vance.
Vance went to the chemical toxic zone and poked the dead fish in the stream, that impressed me. He seemed genuinely concerned. Vance and Trump were the two brave ones in that whole trauma. I wonder how the people that live there are doing?
Poked a fish with a stick, and hasn’t done a damned thing since. All photo ops all the time.
District 6 Rep Bill Johnson has done all ther heavy lifting regarding East Palestine.
That’s is the job of the district’s representative; Vance is a Senator and he’s been supporting in a way that is not visible all the time, though.
Maybe, just maybe Senator Tuberville’s actions on the DoD nominations is rubbing off on JD. About time someone else grew a set.
Speaking of Coach Tuberville, he is in the Senate chamber right now objecting to every single officer promotion. Dan Sulllivan, Mitt, and Joni Ernst are becoming a bit frustrated with their fellow Republican.
Then he’s doing the perfect thing at the perfect time; if those are the ones mad at what he’s doing.
Ernst is a piece of work…I remember Trump backing her for the Senate. Now her head is so far up McConnell’s a$$, she can’t see anything but brown. You never see him on-camera without her. Disgusting POS’s, all of them.
She has come a long way since castrating that boar in her first campaign commercial. <sarc>
screw em.
double down, just to see the look on their face
Glitch McChyna needs to go, along with those ten to fifteen insufferable RINO’s like Ernst, Mittens, Sullivan, Thune, Capito, Cornyn, etc. who sell their cloture vote to Glitch McChyna to pass the Communist Democrat’s agenda.
Must mean he’s doing a good job, then.
If Mittens is frustrated with what he is doing, Vance is clearly doing something right.
Yes Tuberville is another one who needs our support. He has be outstanding.
mcconnell just stated (i believe yesterday) that schumer has his full support.
bastardos one and all.
Turtle is as republican and conservative as AOC. He has overstayed his slot in Government. It appears we are stuck with him until 2026 (unless he has more and/or atypical seizure-like instances in public) .
Is McConnell following the Biden playbook, where the spouse and private security covers for the mentally infirm?
Turtle is becoming in many aspects, jut like JoeBama. Don’t think he’s going to get the same protection for his obvious decline from fellow RINOS.
Believe me, sometimes it sucks getting older, but I have to give myself credit. I know when I can’t do the things I used to with aplomb anymore. So I hire someone to help me when I can afford it.
Mitch and his wife Elaine have more money than they know what to do with. Just retire already McConnell before you get your tax returns leaked from the IRS for all see, and someone like HRC submits a “Steele Dossier” about make believe stuff that you didn’t do.
Not dissing the elderly. But McConnell must go.
a little overboard on “stuff that you didn’t do”
McConnell’s been dirty since he entered politics a hundred years ago, never mind the fact that he’s ‘way beyond his sell-by date. (And being a 70-something voter, I can say that, coming from experience – like Ret IG.) Truth be told, if we could examine his bank account, he’d be headed for Gitmo to face trial for treason.
Durbans responses are typical leftists dribble !
Not one drug dealer goes out and strong-arms someone into an addictive life . Like shootings it’s the guns fault not the people.
Your idiotic support for Biden and all his failed policies is the problem !
You know it Vance calls it out and Democrats with no integrity dribble on
i am quite confident the people of Ohio want the DOJ to back the f up.
representing Illinois, I am sure the people of Chicago are really excited about another US attorney and totally not interested in the border….
Assume you’re missing the s/
“Not one drug dealer goes out and strong-arms someone into an addictive life .”
That is true, Robert. The drug dealer’s job is made very easy and very lucrative partly due to their “clients” ignorance; And why is there that ignorance????? Grooming and indoctrination.
The Left has eaten away at family values, in fact has eroded the “family unit,” mocked all ethics and morals.
Just like in my day, the addicts are usually the progeny of no home life, no home life values…
Presently there are hoards of these people deciding to live in tents in drug-free zones and have no hope about anything.
Yes, the Leftists among us who are very powerful (financially) all agree and “declare” that these tent-dwellers, sidewalk campers, whose only goals are to score a fix and eventually a meal or two – on somebody else’s dime-, are just fine.
Well, they are not. They are not functioning as members of a society. The Left welcomes them and finances them (with tents, iphones, and safe-space kiosks where they can continue to shoot up, even providing clean new crack pipes).
what kind of “society” promotes this? Marxists, Communists… with the goal of making more and more people dependent on their tents, iphones, and free access to drugs , as they morph into brain-dead individuals.
Maybe we need to bring back work camps for druggies who camp out on the streets, and mental institutions for the unstable folks.
They’d be better off and so would we.
Add prison chain gangs to that list!
Dickless Durban is as swampy as there is. A good rule for Vance and every other Senator that cares at all about America would be to block and obstruct everything from this stolen fraudulent administration
“obstruct everything”
seconded.
Yessss~ They need to be doing something as opposed to just talking about what they might do. Good on him!
I’ll take this. People here need to be grateful for every small support effort for us and our President and his supporters. Cynical can be helpful, but don’t cut off your nose to spite your face. Vance has always been a Trump supporter. He is speaking up clearly and no one else is. I think I will send him an email. Show him some support guys.
agreed. even if his support collapses or he turns squish, take the support for the duration you have it.
Thank you JD Vance , the American people appreciate what your trying to do Again, Thanks
be safe and keep your head down and carry a big stick
Patriot Senators need to stop caring what democrat senators have an issue with. I have tremendous respect for any Patriot Senator, who lets the corrupt pos democrats know this is the right thing to do, deal with it.
True. “Collegiality” is long dead and the ‘Rats killed it. Now, it’s war to the knife. Hurt the enemy every way you can because they will damned sure do it to you.
As criminally corrupt as the doj is, tbey don’t any more criminals and frauds nominated for anything.
The Boneless Turkeys, aka Republicans had the power since January to click thire heels and leave OZ and help President Trump fight Lawfare but they chose to help Tumbling Joe instead.
Repugs are really busy….riding the gravy train that both “sides” have engineered.
Vance is advancing the football. As long as that happens, it’s all I care about.
US Attorney’s don’t prosecute anyone; career assistant U.S. attorneys do. US Attorneys grandstand and make political decisions, usually NOT to prosecute based on wokeness factors. Not one tablet of fentanyl more or fewer will be sold based on whether USAs get Senate confirmed. Cutting down on Democrat patronage appointments is a worthy undertaking.
It just occurred to me looking at the Vance post and the Rand Paul post. Rand Paul could easily do what Vance and Tuberville are doing. He doesn’t.
Paul is a talker. It seems Tuberville and Vance are doers, That right there is the difference.
Paul is most likely compromised in some fashion, just a guess on my part.
He’s better than nothing but he’s been in the senate ‘way too long and gotten too used to feeding at the trough. It’s time for a patriot to take his place.
Vance – Tuberville caucus doing the heavy lifting.
out of 535, he’s one of the 30 or so who even try..
Good for Vance. Dick Turbin…. before he dicks you.
I’ve had some similar concerns about Vance’s positions in the past but I like to remind myself:
1) I LOVED Hillbilly Elegy and his path to success.
2) Good people rise to the occasion.
I agree MrsJones. Good people will rise to the occasion.
We need to be willing to give people grace for wrong decisions that they made in the past once they have corrected their thinking. I certainly have made some bad decisions in my past, but God wasn’t finished with me and showed me grace.
Anyone making Little Dick Durbin furious is doing the right thing. We need more like Vance in the all to worthless Republican faction in the Senate.
We need more Tuberville, not Bidenville.
JD is getting better and better. Thanks for standing up for ALL of us Depolorables & MAGA supporters of our REAL PRESIDENT Donald J. Trump. Keep it coming. It’s time for the rest of you to grow a set and JD has finally proved he has ’em.
Like Biden, you can see the life leaving Durbin after a lifetime of lies.
Joe Biden IS A FULL-PARTNER WITH THE CHINESE FENTNYL TRAFFICKERS. HE MUST BE DENIED ANY MORE DOJ LACKEYS ON THOSE GROUNDS ALONE, NOT TO MENTION THE POLICE STATE TACTICS OF THE AMERICAN GESTAPO.
In fairness to Biden, though, he is also a Child Trafficker.
Shocked to say the least. I hate to sound like a Downer-crap dem0crat, but I’m skeptical about Vance’s motives. Why in the heck has it taken this long (dem or rep) to do something? Anything? Is Vance the only one with a conscience ? With courage? Values? Morals? Praying Vance’s actions are contagious. I can only hope his actions will energize, encourage, & empower others to action. Act on principle for once- not profit. Not what may be popular to the loudest leftists, or the lame-azz lobbyists, or the lunatic liberals, but do what’s best for our children’s future & their children’s futures.
Do the right thing bc it’s the right thing to do, for goodness sake!!
But who am I kidding? Finding a principled politician with a spine – not likely.
On a brighter note, at least someone finally grew a backbone & spoke-out/up against this evil. Against these perfidious-politicians & their sadistic motivations & malicious-machinations. Someone had to act and stand on principle. Hoping this conduct metastasizes far and wide.
Good to see from Senator Vance. Its about time. I guess thats too much action for supposedly MAGA-friendly Rand Paul and Josh Hawley. Maybe they can get off their asses one of these days and do something that actually matters instead of talking shit and doing nothing.
Not only should they block anymore nominations from this demented pervert biden, they should be holding impeachments of the activist judges who are putting their political beliefs before justice. Their job is to administer justice referee make ruling on questions of law and their main job be impartial. The dirtbags we have seen over the last few decades need to be gone.
I seem to remember that they starved the Trump administration of their appointees because Russia-Russia-Russia HOAX. It took two years before they would move on the vast majority, and for Turtle to find his wife’s ba11s.
They can NEVER approve any of them as far as I am concerned. An illegitimate Resident deserves NOTHING but to han=g for treason!
Dr. Carson never did fill all his positions in 4 years. The Dems blocked them for years until one of the candidates said I need to go back to work I cannot wait to be hired for this position.
I’m riding in the lane you are in.
Voted for the guy with my fingers crossed. He & Matt Gaetz held a small rally in my city a few days before the election and I told him to his face that he better not f us. So far, so good.
JD had the backing of Don Jr., which is one of the big reasons he was nominated and won. If memory serves, it’s the reason President Trump endorsed him over the other guy.
Sundance, the same popup ad keeps coming back even though I’ve closed it six times and counting. Can you stop this infuriating reappearance of ads, please? Dismissing the ad one time should be enough.
Ace, you might try using the Brave browser – I switched to it sometime back and don’t have to put up with popups. Just a suggestion, hope it helps.
There were so many comments to reply to on this thread. I live about five miles from the Ohio border.
Will never forget when out VG and Special President endorsed JD Vance. I don’t know his past at all, but am looking to the future.
The plume of toxins from E. Palestine settled in my area and its surrounds. I waited to plant my garden until I received the pricey Penn State University soil sample I sent them. It finally arrived with no alarming results. It”s hard enough already to find organic food that hasn’t been bromicied, fungicied, and not wrapped in plastic without worrying about your own garden.
Meanwhile the grass fed beef, chicken and lamb grower’s I am friends and frequent actually had customer’s turning away from them because “they might have been in the plume.” Well go ahead and pay more for it from someplace else.
My respect and first knowledge of JD Vance came from the East Palestine experience. He put his shiney shoes into the dirty water and showed the sh#t in the water just by poking a stick at it. Anybody else? NO. NO and NO. Hence my respect for J.D. Vance.
And if his goal is to keep yet another limp d#ck politico from gorging on the public “trough” I’m with him all the way. And Dick Durbin, far as I know is in on the fentanol gravy train. Seems like he might be even imbibing himself. He’s another reason for TERM LIMITS.
Little DICK Durbin. FILTHY Human.
I know there was hesitancy on JD Vance when he ran for Senate due to his past comments on Trump.
However, I’ve been very impressed with him so far as a Senator.
Go Vance!!!!
Ohioans getting their money’s worth out of J.D. Vance.
Outstanding, I knew there was a reason I spent hours upon hours helping Mr. Vance’s campaign on social media and I am so glad he made it. My hopes were to have a majority in the senate but we were ambushed by the turtle. Does any one have the recipe for turtle soup ? With all the creative things the deep state is coming up with to out Trump surely there is something that can be done to DITCH MITCH. Him throwing senate races in 2022 will never be forgotten.
J D is singing The People’s Cube’s latest karaoke, “ Don’t Give Me No Culture Clown World.”

We have gone way past 3rd world classification. We are lost and my fear level for the future of my grandchildren is not even quantifiable.
MAGA! 👊👊🇺🇸🇺🇸🙏🏻🙏🏻❤️❤️
There’s been no pushback from most members of the GOP because they are in fact, really members of the uniparty that would like nothing better than that President Trump be eliminated by any means necessary from the political arena.
Good job J.D.! To hear Durbin talk about DAs doing their jobs is hysterical
Well done Vance. Dick the Turbin Durbin is a Democrat slag. The American people are sick of the lawfare tactics being used against Trump and are sick of the D.C. Judges presiding over the J6 ers
The current iteration of the Demonic Democrats has turned this country into a garden variety third world banana republic
JD Vance and Tommy Tubberville are showing to be 2 senators of real substance. Not just talking heads – see Rand Paul and Marsha Blackburn plus too many others.
Would love to hear more about your reasons for feeling Blackburn is a talking head. Not disagreeing, just wanting to be better informed.
Yes.
I have to admit, he almost had me in tears with the sincerity of his empathy. But then I realized he [Durbin] must be off his meds. He forgot to accuse Vance of being an existential threat to our democracy. He is sure to get dressed down by party chiefs for such an omission.
Joe Biden: “We have put together, I think, the most extensive and inclusive voter fraud organization in the history of American politics.”
WHY is America ignoring the most obvious form of election interference that’s common throughout the world and throughout history: POLITICAL PROSECUTION? Between political prosecution, violating FEDERAL ELECTION LAWS and CODES of CONDUCT, a corrupt media and communist democrat party ELECTION FRAUD, ELECTION INTEGRITY is ZERO! POLITICAL PROSECUTION VIOLATES the HATCH ACT – a federal law. ELECTION LAWS are being VIOLATED every election, yet the JUDICIAL SYSTEM DOES NOTHING! America has become a nation of COWARDS and USURPERS against American citizens. When the judicial system goes ROGUE, they too must be removed or VOTED OUT!
The legal standard an election must meet, in order to be certified!
1. The voter rolls must be accurate.
2. Votes cast must be from eligible voters.
3. The number of votes counted must equal the number of voters who voted.
4. The maximum number of ballots in error, for a valid federal election, is 1/125,000.
The Department of Justice is an oxymoron…there is no justice.there is only political maneuvering. Trump needs to return as President- knowing what he knows now about the swamp that is Washington and the personalities – and set our country back on track by purging Obama’s leftovers…..
That Dick, Durbin, is such a flaming hypocrite. He cares not one whit about fentanyl drug deaths for if he did, he would DEMAND the firing of Alejandro Mayorkas and the immediate closure of the Southern Border. But he LIKES the influx of the parents of future Democrat voters, particularly into Southern states.
Every Republican Senator should join him.
Anyone who doesn’t including Cocaine Mitch should be attacked viciously.
