This is an interesting response to the question of whether South Dakota Senator John Thune intends to seek the position of senate majority leader. Listen to the way he says it and the transparency of the long-discussed plan is crystal clear {GO DEEP, 2022} WATCH:
We have written about this plan for several years. Mitch McConnell personally groomed Thune for the position and has introduced him to all the key financial players that keep the DeceptiCons (Deceptive Conservatives) in office. GO DEEP and GO DEEP
Thune talks about assuming the role as the natural outcome of his time with McConnell. Unfortunately, almost all the GOPe Republicans will support this passing of the baton. The only thing that makes the Deep State professional Republicans nervous, is the potential for President Donald Trump to intercede in the anointing.
🚨New: Oklahoma GOP Senator Mullin says President Trump needs to stay out of the race for GOP Senate Majority Leader, “It’s a lose-lose situation. He needs to work with whatever leader is there. It’s really not in his best interest to lean in the race.” Mullin has endorsed Thune. pic.twitter.com/ARsfAzWgCv

So many backstabbers in DC.. pic.twitter.com/RmEMOBKTFN

There is the potential for this to be an inflection point if President Trump weighs in on the role of the next Republican Senate Leader.
I would expect Mitch McConnell to try and pull a Machiavellian move with an endorsement of Trump and a promise of non-conflict. McConnell may even make pledges of support for Trump’s nominees in an effort to play the long game for Thune. Of course, as customary, that would all be a ruse, and Thune would await the opportune moment to play the role of DC Brutus.
It’s a complicated political dynamic, because Senator Thune comes to the negotiating table with all the Senate support needed for his installation. The power game is almost equally matched, with only WE THE PEOPLE as the tilting weapon to shift leverage to the side of President Trump.
In the background, the interests that support Thune will be quietly working every angle to block and/or ultimately remove President Trump. Senator Thune knows this game; it’s his home turf. So does Trump, and he has us. So, we keep watching.
I certainly hope PDJT puts his thumb on the scale and picks someone that will get behind an America First Agenda
Don’t ever give up, Don’t ever give up President Trump. Fight them tooth and nail. Nail them to the wall by exposing them to the American people.
maybe he should pretend neutrality (TEMPORARILY) and call for interested senators to be in a debate or a questionnaire or a public airing of the process or something… you probably would not even have to go through with it because the ones who decline would have already outed themselves.
agreed. We really need the Senate especially with all these treaties that are coming down the tube.
I think They are scared that PDJT just MIGHT have an opinion that could rock the boat ? I hope he has and I hope it does
It looks like registered GOP white women will cost us the Senate and maybe flip the House blud. Why? Abortion.
easy for Trump to speak,in case your too young to remember,your rep in congress never had a vote on roe.Supremes just side stepped it & said its a states issue.
If you don’t know about the history of Roe v. Wade or the hold leftists had on the Supremes for many yrs, you should shut up. And Congress had many shots at nationalizing abortion rights & failed to do so.
You buy into that B.S.?
REALLY?
My thoughts exactly Dutchman 😏
You would be wrong on that one.
Yeah, like all you manly men don’t buy into abortion rights just as easily as women as a means of birth control or ducking responsibility. There are a load of men walking in Women’s Marches & advocating for abortion rights who will vote for Biden based on abortion rights. In fact, Democrats will make it the sole #1 issue running the 2024 elections.
I am tired of being blamed by you guys for having the right to vote. Yes, there are hostile evil women out there on the political horizon. EXCUSE ME, if I don’t think men like Adam Schiff, Jamie Raskin or Joe Biden add anything to good politics either.
I am a human being just like you are. Stop blaming women & stop letting males become women. We don’t want or need your Cave Man mentality.
False. States are doing exactly what the Hobbs case contemplated. And in many instances are passing legislation that creates unlimited access to abortions. ….. something they did not have under the judicially created Roe. With all the states weighing in now (even reliably R Ohio has an extreme abortion scheme), the issue now lacks national political bite.
Supporting backstabber,Uniparty elite wannabes will not serve President Trump in the long run anyway. They will work against him. He may as well go down swinging as opposed to caving in to these Judas Iscariot bastards.
IF PDJT has a 10″-11″ thick binder, of Classified info covering Russia, Russia, why WOULDN’T it include Comeys “memos to self” written as an Insurance Policy by Comey, to insure he wasn’t thrown under the bus, by his co-conspirators, when things went South?
As such, Comeys self-serving docs would not “finger” his sub-ordinates, as thatdoes him little good. They would finger Obama, and McConnell as having ‘signed off’ on the plan, as A) there is NO WAY he came up with the plan on his own, and B) there is NO WAY he would have dreamed of trying to carry it out, without a green light from both of them.
Hence, it makes sense for Mitch to retire, so that when he reenters the Oval, he has no blackmail material on the Senate R leader.
While no doubt aware, its doubtful Thune had any official involvement, so no blackmail material in “the binder” on Thune.
Nice to see you back SD, now the news to continues to flow. Thank you.
Mitch McChina with a better chin.
Out, damned dinosaurs!
Notice the look down at 1:49 when the “interviewer” says that Trump “refuses to admit he lost in 2020”.
Actually, I found Thune’s eye movement throughout this interview, quite telling.
Direct eye contact was indeed quite minimal.
Love to have his performance parsed by a specialist in matters of mendacity.
Glad I’m not the only one who focused more on his eyes than anything he said. He always seem to have his neck withdraw into his shoulders on public appearances with Mitch the Bitch. Now it’s all Shifty Eyes when entire focus is on him.
Very useful to view these videos with the sound off, ….you can often see more, with the sound off.
…and you can “hear” more with the sound off…
Thune is always like that.
I would bet there are many constituents in his own State that also believe Trump truly won in 2020.
That was KELO. Their roots go back to Tim Johnson, Daschle, McGovern and further. They will turn on the RINOs at the first oppodrtunity.
That was KELO. Their roots go back to Tim Johnson, Daschle, McGovern and further. They will turn on the RINOs at the first opportunity.
I hope that an America First person becomes the next leader in the Senate.
Very tired of the DC Swamp Dwellers and Uniparty ruining America and the middle class businesses and workers.
The Uniparty will not allow it. The Republicans will vacate their seats rather than allow that. It really is one party for the most part.
Straight out of central casting. He’s got the slick, senatorial look and delivery down pat. But really, he’s just a regular guy. I mean, he’s not even wearing a tie (the 20 ties that are usually in his desk drawer were at the dry cleaner).
He reminds of the bad guy in the Sylvester Stallone movie “Cobra”
He look like a suave Joe Biden wanna be.
Hes from the Gavin Newscum stable of performance actors.
McConnell is politically bankrupt. His endorsement is worthless.
But in the swamp. his endorsement is the gold standard.
Might as well dig up Harry Reid and have him do the endorsement.
Then again Harry is dead. After he gave Mitt exactly what he deserved, his brother beat the hell out of him and he died not to long afterwards.
Kompromat is all.
And that is how the bit is placed in the mouth, and the compromised lawmaker handled by “powerful special interests.”
NOT with the only constituency that matters, the Senate Republicants that vote for their Leader.
Thune is cut from the same cloth as a televangelist, a real smooth operator. Totally screams untrustworthy.
I so want these reptiles exposed and expelled!!
And around it goes. Like a clogged toilet, the crap just keeps bobbing and floating in circle.
They entirety of congress disgusts me.
It is no coincidence that Cornyn just endorsed Kari Lake. They will indeed promise Trump that they will endorse/support his candidates…then promptly stab him and the rest of them in the back. The question is how will Trump play this.
Barraso also endorsed KL.
Doesn’t mean much, if State R parties, RNC and NRCC are all spending unlimited $ to undermine MAGA candidates.
“I’m not gonna LITIGATE it AGAIN” ????
litigate
verb [ I/T ] law
US /ˈlɪt̬·ɪˌɡeɪt/
Add to word list
to cause an argument between people or groups to be discussed in a law court so that a judgment can be made
When was the 2029 Election court case?
-Thune is a 2-faced, lying
$hmuck!
It was never litigated!
Damned Dirty Derps never let a court even hear let alone judge the matter.
Have you ever noticed Thune seems to have “ants in his pants” when he is standing behind his master “Mitch” at a press conference…..This guy cannot stand still….rocking back and forth and up and down on his toes….makes one wonder what he is on….
I don’t know about Thune but a lot of people do those things just from anxiety.
All that white powder giving him the itches
One can sense the slime oozing from Thune, Reminds me of Gollum and the Ring Of Power. ” My Precious”
Wow, watch when he makes eye contact. It’s basically when he stands in opposition to DJT and thus the American people.
In an interview that said very little, it affirmed all my beliefs that John Thune should never be Senate leader.
Tom Daschle’s son?
LMAO
@Sundance,
If the Republicans are DeceptiCons, then does it even matter who becomes their leader?
Sundance does not label all Republicans as Decepticons.
That label appends to Glitch’s special coterie of well compromised cronies.
About a couple dozen best I recall.
I recall when SD coined that moniker some years back, he was specifically referring to the Republican Senate members of the Gang of 8 plus the SSIC (Senate Select Committee on Intelligence) members, all of whom allowed the Russia Collusion scam to go forth without any oversight /pushback (thus abandoning their roles), or in a few cases, actually participated in it (e.g., Sen. Warner)
Okay. So who would be an acceptable leader?
If PDJT doesn’t pull her out, to be his VP, Kari Lake.
I still do not trust Ron Johnson but if I am not mistaken, he is open to running for the GOP Senate leadership.
Come on man, a turtle versus a lion as pack leader? Absolutely things will change.
Thune won’t call the Trump Indictments bullshit. Which means he’s full of bullshit.
And he’s perfectly okay with Rigged and Fraudulent Elections, stolen from the People.
We need real leaders, not more Bidness as Usual-Decepticon Garbage.
Well it is time to go for that, like we sorted the other issues. Make he and Mary a box set.
He only has 4 years to ‘right’ a ship that has been listing port for decades. The 4 years that were stolen has steeled his resolve as well as we MAGA Americans. We must not give up. His VP pick will be essential in this quest.
yes, yes, yes!!!! Vice president is probably the most important long-term pick we have ever had.
With GOD it will.
McConnell caused more damage to the Republic, 2017 to 2020, than the democrats during the same period as a leader of the Senate and that trend continued 2021 to 2024 in his supporting cast role as Republican Senate Leader.
As Sundance stated … Thune is McConnell’s groomed protege.
President Trump has nothing to loose by attempting to bias the selection … Thune winning is already the worst case.
It is hard to forget Thune’s role 2017 to 2020, as part of the resistance to derail President Trump.
Thune actually looks like plastic face man Democrat Senator Blumenthal in the article picture … how appropriate.
Isn’t Trump supporting Steve Daines of Montana for Republican Senate Leader?
I thought I saw that somewhere, too.
Trump needs to recuse himself because — uh — there must be some reason…
During this interview Senator Thune certainly knows exactly where the recording camera is and where the interviewer is–both in front of him. I notice no tie, yet the white shirt and jacket suggest a status in the white collar world for sure: How impressive!
Watch his eyes as he begins to answer the questions put forth; notice how his head tips downward where his eyes make no direct contact with the camera, etc.
Is this the manner of a “forthright individual” or is it the posturing of one who is “slippery beyond belief” in many ways. Passive aggressive behavior?
Also, note how he answers the question put forth about President Trump denying the so called “valid election results of 2020” where he sidesteps his real position on whether is was a valid election or one that was rigged from the get-go.
Thune is a snake, well practiced in saying nothing, a mealy mouth little man waiting to stab anyone in the back, never face to face in the front…just another Brutus who most likely has made millions “on his side deals” while a Senator from South Dakota.
Senator Thune is no friend of Trump nor one who will willingly work with President Trump if re-elected!
“Is this the manner of a “forthright individual” or is it the posturing of one who is “slippery beyond belief” in many ways.”
I’ll pick Door # 2.
“Thune is a snake, well practiced in saying nothing, a mealy mouth little man waiting to stab anyone in the back, never face to face in the front…just another Brutus who most likely has made millions “on his side deals”…………..
A snake in disguise, Thune is just Mark Warner with better dental work.
And Noem is his protege, wouldn’t trust her either.
I would expect that, as part of his Super Tuesday celebration, Trump will mention his “hypothetical choice”, if he were McConnell…
Imagine Josh Hawley…
Oh, God NO. NOT Hawley he is as fake as Ted Cruz!
MAYBE the other Senator from Missouri, Eric Schmidt…
Truth is, currently there are no for sure MAGA U.S. Senators.
And only a couple of maybes,…J.D. Vance being the other.
Sorry, Hawley is one of the few I can stomach. He is pretty darn good in any questioning of potential cabinet or Biden administrators. I’m not sure where your purity test lies because you hate Gaetz, Tucker and now Hawley.
I support all three.
The PDJT endorsement of Mullin was flat-out infuriating. Maybe there’s a long game in that it calls attention to the backstab.
Review Mullin’ words about Jan6 — Michael Byrd “didn’t have a choice” shooting Ashli Babbitt. He “saved people’s lives” as members of Congress and their staff were “in danger.” Mullin is a despicable disgrace. Along with Lankford, OK needs to do better.
I remember when President Trump called Thune the Turtles “ boy”
He of course likely was thinking the word that rhymes with itch. 😉
I bet its not that he fears MAGA, because he could easily have 60 votes if he cared worth a damn. It’s that he’s looking to throw the senate.
“It’s really not in his (Trumps) best interest to lean in to the race.”?!!
First of all, it sounds like Mullin is getting his threatening talking points directly from Schumer’s office.
Secondly, when’s the last time President Trump did anything in his best interest? From what I’ve witnessed, he’s been fighting every single day for our country’s best interest – at real personal cost to himself.
These clowns have REAL NERVE!! They need to step back, STFU and let OUR courageous President Trump handle the hard stuff which they are either too weak or TOO COMPROMIZED to do themselves.
The Potomac two step.
Senator Crapweasel
I hoping for Rick Scott(FL) to get majority leader.
Back Stabbers Led by Thune-
What they do!
Is that Thune as in Ghune ?
Stupid still around! TRUMP WON IN 2020 !!!!
Thune is another globalist RINO. The big issue is voting these globalist influenced senator RINOs out of office. Hard to do with the current system. Trillions are at stake. Beating an incumbent senator will take at least 20 million in a primary. Mass psychosis works. Like TDS totally created by the media. The incumbent RINO senators are guaranteed reelection in most cases. Thune needs to be voted out by SD. I have two in Florida senators that are RINO’s. Rubio is a gang of eight on high up on intelligence committee. Senator Scott is a closet RINO but me thinks he will make another attempt at leadership. Chess game is to make new king and not expose the closet RINO’s. Me picks a closet RINO. The senate is full of them. Disgusting corruption at work.
Frankly, its a wasteof time, to try to primary a sitting RINO.
First, we need to primary, i.e. run a MAGA candidate against, the elected PARTY leaders in the State R party, and replace the RINOS with MAGA.
THEN your primary candidate, against a sitting RINO in the U.S. Senate has a good chance of winning.
….and never forget to remind the Kristie Noem cheerleaders about this…
https://kelo.com/2020/12/22/gov-noem-defends-sen-thune-after-president-trumps-backlash/
I have seen lots of games from the swamp. I have seen loose lips give Trump advice….and Trump does what he knows is best. He will definitely have something to say…Even though MarkWayne is a tough guy, he is about as important to this country as lankford right now. Contrary to the repukes in the senate, and some in the house, Donald J Trump is the leader of the party. And his wishes are important. They will be trying to block him, but it will not be as easy this time around…in my opinion.
None of McConnell’s leadership circle should be allowed anywhere near the Leader position NONE!
Well, John Thune is no Mitch McConnell. No matter how much grooming is done, Thune will eventually get his hair mussed up. I don’t have a problem with the mentor/apprentice thing, after all, Trump has yet to name his apprentice.
The issue as Sundance rightly says is what this guy thinks and who is in the background. That could also change at the drop of the baton. You remember how fast the decepticons dumped DeSantis. Let’s just see about all the people backing Thune and once they are exposed, the game will change.
If Thune is not more forceful in trash talking Trump, you will see his backroom puppet masters cut his strings.
I really have a hard time wondering how these people sleep at night. Must all be on prescription medications.
Either 💰 or 🗡️
Rand Paul would be my pick
Remember Johnboy, “I caught them all”.
Trump will play them like a cheap fiddle.
So, we keep watching.
Someone needs to ask every Senator supporting Thune exactly how he would be any better for the American people or any different than McConnell.
Thune can wait for the opportune moment AND so can Trump. Trump is a master at timing.
The GOP has a very powerful poison-pill on its voters. Continue to support their backstabbing, deplorable candidates or lose the country in one swing of the axe……your choice.
The country is going down one way or another. The only choice is how fast. Death by a thousand cuts over decades or one big whack. They are daring us to stop supporting them.
For those of you that think Trump is the savior, I would think again. He can make things better temporarily, but he will get no help from the GOP. You will get 2016 to 2018 all over again with a bunch of executive orders the courts place on-hold. That’s no way to govern or fix anything.
They know you hate to support them but you ultimately will.
No, I won’t. I made a solemn vow, not to vote for any RINO, ever again, to chew my fingers off, before using them to cast a vote for a RINO.
And, I well understand this will be a generational and epic battle.
Its taken us MANY years to get here, at least since 1917 or so,….
On the other hand, it can take a lot of time and effort, to ascend to the top of a high mountain, and yet 1 or 2 steps, and no time at all, to get back to the base.
Come to Maryland. Look what has been done to this state since our new governor. Hogan was awful but blocked a lot of democratic crap. Sorry, I will vote for Hogan for senate. I would rather have a 90% RINO then a 0% democrat anyday.
Would Senator Kennedy (Louisiana) have any shot? I probably don’t know enough as I should about him, but most of what I see of him I like. He seems to have the type of personality that it would be hard for his opponents to really attack him effectively. And I would assume he and President Trump like each other.
Oh, lord no!
Okay. 🙂 Like I said, I don’t know much about him, but at least he likes Trump, and he sure is entertaining. 😉
Toldyaso….
Accepting his thirty pieces of silver early on.
Toldyaso? Sir, you can gloat anytime you want, about anything you want, as you’ve proven to us all, time and time again, your money is where your mouth is.
No idea, don’t do “X”.
Barasso = Crapweasel Junior
Barrasso is ASSHOE!
No FREAKIN WAy !!
Maybe don’t do anything. There’s still the power of the pen.
In a recent rally, I believe PDJT addressed, more thanI had ever heard him before, how Ryan and McConnell backstabbed PDJT, promising if he backed their first Omnibus bill without $ for the wall, how they would put it in the next, and then stiffing him.
Hence, PDJT knows how the game is played,….
