It has come to my attention that most of MAGA, specifically those who do not understand the history of Republicans in the Senate, support a return to Senatorial and Parliamentary norms, where 60 votes are needed in order to advance any legislative intent. [READ HERE] Stupid is, as stupid does.
Prior to the 2024 election, Democrat Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer, promised to end the filibuster rule and change the Senate to a simple ‘majority rules’ body. However, in the aftermath of the 2024 election outcome, where Democrats are now in the minority, Chuck Schumer has a reversal of prior opinion and is requesting the Republican leadership to retain the filibuster rule – giving power to the Democrats who now hold minority position.
Into this mix of UniParty and DeceptiCon political constructs, the online MAGA community are now advocating for a return to old Senatorial rules where amendments can be offered to all bills proposed and the 60-vote threshold is retained for cloture, filibuster power and legislative passage.
Despite knowing Majority Leader Schumer was going to crush them, Senator Rick Scott, Senator John Cornyn and yes, now, Majority Leader John Thune, are taking the high road and promising to keep the power of the Democrat minority in place. A more apropos example of “Battered Conservative Syndrome” has never been so clear.
WASHINGTON DC – […] “The short version of that is: Please don’t do to us what we were going to do to you. Schumer is obviously concerned that Republicans might embrace a scheme to eliminate the filibuster and pass all sorts of consequential legislation with no Democratic input at all. That wouldn’t be bipartisan! Fortunately for Schumer, Republicans have been more principled than Democrats when it comes to the legislative filibuster, and to the filibuster in general. Republicans realize that even though they will have the majority for the next two years, they might be back in the minority at any time after that. So, Schumer will not get it good and hard the way he planned to give it to Republicans.” (more)
This is exactly how ‘republicanism’ infects the MAGA movement, ultimately and predictably positioning the future republican voters frustrated and shouting at trees. Democrats, together with Mitch McConnell and John Thune love this, because it retains their lucrative business model.
Let me start by reminding the MAGA victims, that’s YOU, of the position of Democrats:
Apparently, the high-minded influencers within the MAGA community have seemingly forgotten about this intent.
Next, let us move to the reality of what the GOP is planning to do, and remember Scott, Cornyn and Thune all agree on this.
The return of amendments to the Senate bills brings with it retention of the filibuster and ‘cloture’ 60-vote threshold.
Taking the first part first, those amendments have a name. During the Obamcare fiasco you might remember a few of them: “The cornhusker kickback” (Nelson), “The Louisiana Purchase” (Landrieu), the “Florida Gator Aide” (Nelson). These “amendments” are purchases of Senator’s votes with sweetheart closed-door deals, they are not enhancements to the bill, they are bribes for support.
Now the second part. Presume a 55/45 split. The Majority needs to purchase votes from the minority in order to reach 60. That’s where “amendments” offer the highest price. K-Street Lobbyists pay for minority senators to support the amendment. Lots of money is made.
Mitch McConnell and Harry Reid were not in opposition to each other on the business end of this process. Their personal wealth benefitted greatly.
The high-minded MAGA Republicans are advocating for returning to, and retention of, this process.
History: After Scott Brown became #41, Leader Harry Reid had to begin purchasing votes from Mitch McConnell. However, the American public were holding the GOP feet to the fire. Eventually Reid just said, “screw it” and dropped the vote threshold for final bill passage to a simple majority, 51.
The Senate retained the 51-vote passage, with the exception of “cloture votes” or votes to close debate, along with ‘filibuster breaking thresholds’ which still needed 60. Essentially, McConnell/Reid were not stupid, they did not want to give up the business model. So, 60 cloture votes and filibuster remained.
The Cloture Votes also provided the Deceptive Conservatives, DeceptiCons, the opportunity to vote yea on cloture, then vote against the bill. Senator Ted Cruz is the #1 Republican who uses cloture voting as a mask. Cruz often votes yea on cloture (supporting the bill) and nay on the bill itself (thereby denying he ever supported it). It’s a good cover, and they all use it.
Obviously, McConnell didn’t want to be the one to change the lucrative construct of Harry Reid, so he retained the non-amendment part and the 51-vote simple majority part. Then McConnell lost the Senate, again.
However, suddenly, the GOP are back in the majority and now Rick Scott (and presumably John Cornyn) wants to give the power back to the minority. McConnell’s protege’ John Thune learned well from the knee of the master.
Leader John Thune has no issue giving the GOP power in the Senate away, adding back the lucrative process of amendments, and returning the threshold to 60 votes for bill passage. However, he had to pretend it was some astronomical exhibition of magnanimity in order to gain maximum value from the illusion of doing what he always supported.
Thune says as leader I will return to regular order, amendments, voting thresholds and the pre-Harry Reid processes. Everyone cheers.
The republicans are now in the majority and have changed the structure to add amendments and give stronger power to the minority.
THE RESULT – President Trump’s agenda will be more difficult to pass (higher threshold and stronger opposition position), but somehow MAGA cheers for Senate Majority Leader John Thune (see thread).
Battered Conservative Syndrome.
Wash-Rinse-Repeat…. Then everyone will look oddly when the base of voters throws up their arms in frustration and the Senate flips back during Trump’s 2026 midterm election.
Why should a Republican Senate majority take their foot off the gas and allow the Democrats to retain the power of the minority. They hold no similar disposition when in power.
I say, crush them.
Advance the MAGA agenda. Crush the opposition and give Republicans in 2026 a reason to go out and make the prior election even more resounding.
Identify the lobbyists who support the RINOs then OPENLY boycott them. That’s the best thing we can do. It may not enforce compliance, but it WILL create a phyric victory. That’s really the only way to fight back at this point outside of actual civils rights level protesting.
Agree, https://revolver.news/2024/11/how-to-drain-the-lobbyist-swamp-one-easy-step-deny-them-access/
How do you “Boycott” Blackrock, Fidelity, State Street?
An awful lotvof Americans would have to recognise the trap, trick that is the whole “retirement accounts” scam, and cash in their 401k’s and IRA’s, that are inevitable “managed” by the big three, and no way ENOUGH people are going to do that.
And so, they are using our own $, against us.
RICO their asses!
Investigate the corruption and their Globalist shenanigans, imprison them all, seize it all, bust it up, Anti-Trust it, reformat the entire scheme to deny such power to any such entity ever again seeking to own and destroy the world.
RICO the new corvette in the line up of perps in jumpsuits. Bright pink jumpsuits! Get’em Gaetz…
I like the way you think!
read above revolver news article.
People should go to their employer and ask them to provide the option to put their 401K into cd’s. The risk free rates and the employer match offer a strong return. And the value NEVER falls like inquiries and bonds.
If you are older than 59 1/2 take the money out of the 401K and place it into an IRA 2 times per year. Then place that into CD’s.
This is how I am boycotting these companies. If everyone did this then the market would crash because our retirement feeds the beast every paycheck. As long as we keep doing this nothing will change.
People could convert their retirement accounts to precious metals, to protect their money from the hyperinflation these swamp creatures want to inflict on us.
But would enough people do that?
credit unions 5% +
That’s the entire issue, all CEOs and DC idiots use the profits and taxes we paid them to undermine us. How does this change? Traumatic, life-altering crises leaving the status quo in pieces.
The only worthwhile 401k and IRA are the ROTH 401k and IRA
Paying taxes up front for 20, 30, or 40 years when you can easily afford to pay them, is far better than paying taxes in your retirement years, when you’ll be much more careful in your spending, no matter what your retirement balance is. Unless you’ve minimum $1m ($2m is better) returning 10% annually and you file taxes as a single, you do NOT want to be concerned with paying taxes in your ‘golden years’!
————————————————————-
For those with less than 5 years to retire who never opened a ROTH 401k or IRA (remember, you have to hold the ROTH 401k and IRA five years before you can make tax free withdrawals on the earnings….while your contributions can be withdrawn tax free if your over 59.5 years) here’s something to ponder…….
Traditional 401k withdrawals taxed as Regular Income
The smaller the 401k is at retirement, the worse this is for the retiree. The person who needs to withdraw $15,000 – $25,000 annually to make ends meet and enjoy retirement a little will have to figure out where to get the money to pay the taxes on their withdrawals.
Most will pay taxes from their annual withdrawal amounts. But that in turn may reduce their expendable income and thus limit their enjoyment(s) in their remaining years of life on this earth. Some will withdraw more than the needed $15-20,000 in order to pay the taxes, but this results in paying more taxes per year on the additional withdrawal amount.
All money used to pay taxes is money that’s not earning money for future earnings of the retiree!!
Paying regular income tax on traditional 401k withdrawals in retirement years may also negate to some degree the tax advantages of 30 plus years of weekly 401k employee contributions, depending on the dollar amount of those weekly contributions. Greater dollar amount contributions gained greater tax advantages and vice versa.
However, NO ONE puts those weekly tax savings dollars aside to pay annual income taxes during their retirement 30 or 40 years in the future. And so for 20, 30, or 40 years those weekly tax saving dollars are spent as disposable income without regard for retirement tax planning.
—————————————————
Brokerage account Long Term Capital Gains taxed at 0%, 15%, or 20% Max
Investments realized after one year and one day are long term capital gains. LTCG are taxed at 0%, 15%, and 20% depending on your AGI. Those considered “high earners” may be subject to additional 3.8% tax.
In 2024, single filers with a taxable income of $47,025 or less, joint filers with a taxable income of $94,050 or less, and heads of households with a taxable income of $63,000 or less pay 0% on qualified realized long-term gains. If your taxable income exceeds those amounts, you may be subject to 15% and 20% tax rates. Short-term capital gains held for a year or less are taxed at regular income tax rates.
For those who’ve contributed to a traditional 401k their entire career,are now less than 5 years from retirement, have less money than they should have/wish they had, and are concerned about taxes in retirement, it may be worth consulting a TOP NOTCH financial consultant to discuss reducing their weekly 401k contribution to the company match amount only, and investing the rest of their weekly retirement savings in a brokerage account, where they’ll pay no more than 20% in taxes (unless the Communists take over again in 2028!) This requires strong nerves, a VERY GOOD financial consultant, and good investment knowledge of the soon to be retiree.
Apart from political comments mentioned here, Fidelitiy is probably the best funds family around. Their Select Semiconductor fund is up 38.10% YTD, their Blue Chip Growth fund up 28.77% YTD, and their Contra Fund up 30.86% YTD. Their “cash balance” account (forgot the Fidelity name for it) pays about 4.5% annually.
This investment strategy is counter to the traditional strategy of risk reduction the closer to retirement. But for those with less saved than they wish they had, and concerned about paying taxes in their retirement and how those tax costs could make their golden years less golden, it’s a worthwhile strategy to consider, as long as they stay on top of what their investments are doing and not doing.
My husband’s 401k doesn’t offer any Fidelity funds at all – only Vanguard funds 🙁
That and repeal the 17th.
“A more apropos example of “Battered Conservative Syndrome” has never been so clear.”
More like “Fake Conservative Syndrome.”
Correct. They are in it together.
Call it what it is.
TREASON
Yup, winner takes the spoils. Stupid to squander an opportunity we have fought so hard for! MAGA!
But without the filibuster if the Democrats become the majority in the future, they can turn D.C into a state, put 50 justices on the supreme court and all the nonsense the psychopathic left can come up with.
Hello, check your recent history; back when they HAD control, they DID NOT eliminate the fillibuster.
They intro’d legislation which, IF IT HAD PASSED, would have, and then used kabuki theater, distraction etc. so that nobody noticed that they had Manchin/Synema pull a Murkowski/Collins, in order to insure it DID NOT pass.
But, its this false argument you advance (the Dems will!) that keeps “our side” from doing it, and its a false argument, the short responce being “NO, the Dems didn’t, and they won’t!”
I don’t think you read the entire article. Sundance addresses that notion.
The United States operates as a Constitutional Republic.
“Our Democracy” is not a Constitutional Republic. It is the destruction of the Republic and sedition.
Gee, they think we have no memory. Time to get back on the phone and voice displeasure early before they get comfy.
Absolutely! Remember, the OMNIBUS is looming next month.
I pray President Trump DEMANDS a budget be passed and no more continuing resolution thievery.
Same with zero based budgets.
Another Christmas Eve cave by Republicans is in the works! Hopefully it will be a short term Ominbus bill and have the new Congress scrape the Unconstitutional Ominbus budget approval process being used since obama started them since 2009! JMO
Rush Limbaugh, who I dearly miss, often said “It is not enough to beat the democrats, they must also be utterly destroyed as a party”.
Been overdue since the Civil War.
They’ve always been enemies of freedom.
Now that they are fully Communist they must be eliminated, and the Republican party must be purged of such sympathies and stupidities and become the genuinely righteous American party it has always purported to be.
Furthermore, I consider that the Derp State MUST be destroyed!!
I recommend a complete purge. Top to the very bottom.
Pay for view
What is wrong with these people?
The inability to see evil?
Denial? Or are they evil themselves?3
They are too busy checking the balances in their IRA accounts to care what we peons have to say.
Neither party represents us – the people. They are united in securing further, personal wealth.
C’mon, man!
This isn’t a new concept!
💰💰💰💰💰💰💰💰💰
They see Evil in the mirror, every damn day.
And they like it.
Well yes. Because there is ZERO TO FEAR..
That is Biblical..”..they loved darkness because their deeds were evil….”
The latter.
Well you may not like it but the filibuster is good, without the filibuster the Democrats could have turned D.C. into a state, put 50 justices on the Supreme Court and all the nonsense the left can come up with.
See my post above, and tell me this;
WHY DIDN’T THEY?
THEY HAD the majority, they HAD the legislation, and for anyone very familiar with how Mitch uses Collins/Murkowski, it shouldn’t be THAT hard for you to see thru the Kabuki theater manuevers, and recognised they had Manchin/Synema pull a Collins/Murkowski .
Go back and look,. .remember when some libbie activists chased Synema into a bathroom, and Mabchin was SUPPOSEDLY holding out for concessions which never actually developed?
Yeah, THATS when Manchin and Synema voted against eliminating the fillibuster,and the Dems NEVER brought it up, again.
Leadership, which is ONE entity of Mitch and Schumer, DOES NOT WANT to end the Fillibuster, because it enables leadership to kill bills it doesn’t want to pass, but feels compelled to introduce.
Without the fillibuster, Mitchs, now Thunes ploy of using Murkowski/Collins, is no longer workable.
Sorry but you’re just wrong about this.
Carry on though.
Trump needs to speak on this, and let them know 2026 is coming, or may be they don’t care and it will be musical chairs as usual!
“Trump” (thats PDJT, lol) harranged Mitch, during his FIRST term, to dump the fillibuster so he could get his legislative agenda, Mitch ignored him.
And, Thune will too, unless PDJT can find SOME leverage, to force Thune to capitualate.
Eleven Inches of Persuasion!
The future of America, of humanity itself, hinges on a successful Restoration of the Republic.
The little tyrants don’t want to get with the game, want to ankle bite VSGGEPDJT, want to gridlock MAGA and suffocate it in the crib, they are evil on roller-skates and totally compromised, we can’t afford their bullshit collegiality as they stand athwart all our hopes with their insufferable smirks.
Furthermore, I consider that the Derp State MUST be destroyed!!
Thune should schedule these Senate votes in January 2025:
Put all D’s & spineless RINOs on record (special focus on those up for reelection in 2026).
But without the filibuster if the Democrats become the majority in the future, they can turn D.C into a state, put 50 justices on the supreme court and all the nonsense the psychopathic left can come up with.
Same principle applies to all of the rejoicing over Oklahoma “putting the Bible back in the classroom”.
Will that currently rejoicing segment of the population rejoice if the koran is also put in the classroom, right along the side the Bible, with a requirement for the same amount of time and attention given to it?
Dot-connecting is useful for projecting what might happen next.
The Quran is not foundational to Western Civilization. The Bible is, as a historical text and as a wellspring of Western values.
Kill the infidels who do not submit to Allah is not, and never has been, a Western value.
It’s not a religion course. It is a Western Civilization course.
Our founding fathers had no problem understanding that, even though many of them were Deists / Freemasons.
Kill the infidels who do not submit to Allah is not, and never has been, a Western value.
Tell that to the citizens of the small towns (and large cities) Minnesota, Colorado, New York, Michigan, North Dakota, and Wisconsin (etc) which are being taken over by Moslems who are insisting on the Islamic call to prayer being broadcast every day.
But you’re probably right, and everything will be fine.
If we can push all the Moslems out and deport all the illegals, I know that everything will be fine.
Have your masters given you that script? That’s the third time I’ve seen it and I’m just skimming.
Billshirt, they dudn’t and they won’t.
Are you advocating for eliminating the filibuster?
Yes! Then Republicans can more easily advance Trump’s plans. We need to crush them.
Bad Chess Move
Yes, I am. Along with the unlimited, unregulated and endless $ the two caucuses leaders have to dispence or withhold to ‘support’ campaigns, the fillibuster is a valuable tool to Senate leadership, to thwart the will of the American people.
GET RID OF IT.
Horrible Chess Move
The River of Shyt flows on.
And the rats scurry.
Snatching defeat from the arms of victory. It’s a Republican thing.
Never missing an opportunity to (intentionally) miss an opportunity.
And most important:
Wash. Rinse. Repeat.
Party of Stupid. Case closed.
NO! It was a Republican Party operative that came up with, and promulgated that line “Party of Stupid” as a way to deflect the base from the truth; they don’t do what they do and not do , because they are “Stupid”; its far worse than that, cause its done/not done KNOWINGLY, INTENTUONALLY, with planning.
They are COMPLICIT.
The reply should be similar to John Wayne, “Get the hell off of my spread”
Who is Scott Brown #41?
Republican senator from Massachusetts, 2010-2014. Put the Reps in the Senate to the 41 needed to block Dem crap.
Thanks.
So, once again they all flip MAGA voters the bird and carry on with their cartel money making racket. I’m not surprised, but I am hugely disgusted with all of these useless swamp creatures. A pox upon them all!
I love declaring a pox upon them all!!! Elizabethan insults are the BEST.
M. Pox.
I detest these people. I truly, honestly hate them. They are despicable, disgusting, cowardly criminals!
Back to manning the phones lines. Instead of politely “asking” them to do this, that or the other, we need to treat them like the scum they are and DEMAND they pay attention.
I thought the landslide victory that President Trump won one week ago would have been enough to put them on notice that we are paying attention and we’ve had enough of their double-crossing, back-stabbing BS.
The problem is that the past 15 years show that you cannot trust Democrats — you absolutely CANNOT TRUST DEMOCRATS!!
Re: The problem is that the past 15 years show that you cannot trust Democrats — you absolutely CANNOT TRUST DEMOCRATS!!
While recognizing the accuracy of that statement, we are stabbing ourselves in the back if we do not also stop pretending the Republican Party CAN be trusted.
You can trust MAGA, not repubs. (RINO’S)
Absolutely! And, for the record, when I refer to “the Republican Party,” I’m speaking of the RNC.org, not grassroots members such as MAGA folks.
Its actually far mor complex and complicated than that.
After the Dems gained the Majority in the Senate, there were big demands being made by their base, essentially “You HAVE the power, now USE it to RAM THRU our liberal agenda, and so intrinsic in this was a call to END THE FILLIBUSTER.
And yes, Schumer had made talk of ending it,…but DEMOCRATS did NOT ever actually end the fillibuster.
So, what DID they do? The introduced legislation that WOULD end the fillibuster, (a MAJOR piece of legislation!) and simultaneously a $700 billion budget bill, also without a doubt a MAJOR piece of legislation.
History of Congress and common sense says you NEVER intriduce two major pieces of legislation ..at least not if you actually WANT the legislation to pass.
So, leadership then gave the nod to Synema and Manchin, the Dem equivalent of Collins/Murkowski, to vote AGAINST both bills, and like McCains thumbs down on Obamacare, the bills were defeated.
Then then waited awhile, trimmed down the budget bill a little, reintroduced it and of coarse easily passed it.
WHY (if they wanted to eliminate the fillibuster) didn’t they EVER again introduce a bill, to do just that?
Its because there is NO daylight between Dem and Republican leadership, and the leadership finds the fillibuster essential, in exerting control over which legislation gets passed, and so can put on Kabuki theater performances, intoducing legislation they, the very leadership that introduced the legislation, know for a fact will NOT become law.
Establishment UniParty in action as we continue to move left toward socialism, Washington Institutional corruption, and a country controlled by fascist.
Beware that, when fighting democrats, you yourself do not become a democrat… for when you gaze long into the democrats, the democrats gaze also into you…
Of course, on the other hand, what’s sauce for the goose is sauce for the gander.
Derpy.
Not just “Battered Conservative Syndrome” …. but “Stockholm Syndrome” also!

Scott, Cornyn, Thune, Mike Johnson: Tanya’s of the Senate
2026 senate. Up for election are 20 Republicans mostly in Trump states. 13 dems, 1 Ossoff, is in GA. Off potus election year. Dark money will pour into republican senate seats. We must hope there is both continued demoralization on dems and we must come out like it’s POTUS year. Also, hopefully some of the more high profile stuff Trump promised will be getting done and people will realize they were lied to as he’s no dictator.
Of course as an added bonus, 2026 senators came in with the 2020 81M Biden votes…..er ballots, so they still have that hurdle of…….low propensity (where are they now) voters.
This is like the people who keep saying, we should shut up about this election being uncertifiable, because President Trump won it and we don’t want to mess with that, because Democrats might hold up his getting into office with the excuse of not certifying.
Really? If they had the power to demand he not be seated in office, you can bet they don’t need that excuse – they’ve shown they’re just fine with any excuse or no excuse! IF they try this game (I don’t actually think they’ll dare), We The People need to stand up and DEMAND our president return to his rightful office.
Besides,
They had their chance to complain about election fraud and we were the only ones complaining. Now they can either shut up and allow President Trump to be installed in office and we start prosecuting election fraud January 20th, or else we immediately have a do-over election which is transparent and follows our own laws -and we can see how much President Trump REALLY won by.
The term of the current occupants of the office is UP. Diplomacy is OVER. We do not negotiate with traitors.
RINOs and Democrats are one and the same (UniParty)! Republicans must become MAGA for the future of America!
Eff the high road!!!
Exactly, the Republican Party is not yet the party of Trump or MAGA, not even close.
The real battle has never really been MAGA vs Dems, the Dems are no serious competition.
The real battle has always been MAGA vs RINOS, a battle for “the Soul of the Repiblican Party” and a war that preceeds PDJT by DECADES; going back (in my lifetime) to the 60’s and Goldwater.
And with periodic flare ups Nixon, Reagan, Bucchanan, Ron Paul, etc. as populist/Nationalist/Libertarian leaders stepped up to challenge the Rockerfeller/Country Club/ RINO Republicons firmly esconced in control of the party, controlling the RNC, the 50 State R parties, and Congressional caucus leadership.
We have won a major battle, but the war continues apace. And our enemy is not the Dems, they are the distractiin; our enemy is the RINOS.
For any newbies both parties are private corporations and have no duty to the Citizenry whatsoever.
Just Whig ’em!
Whig ’em good!
😁😂👏👏
The R stands for retards.
Pay backs a bitch
Filibuster ok…..if you just make them perform a real Filibuster.
Those with better tech skills than me, can find PDJT tweets, where IIRC he IMPLORED, Impotuned and practically BEGGED Mitch (PDJT’s first term) to eliminate the fillibuster,so PDJT could enact his MAGA agenda.
All his tweets fell on deaf ears, as Mitch had -0- interest in helping PDJT MAGA
Council On Foreign Relations arch-fabian Rino Speaker Newt Gingrich crushing the Republican Revolution of 94 and facilitating his fellow CFR comrade Bill Clinton’s crime spree and economic & military treason after treason.
It’s why I despised the GOPe until PDJT & his MAGA picked up the patriot Populist torch.
Always go to the source.
https://x.com/SenJohnThune/status/1857224488871453181
Thune explicitly stating Republicans will use the 51 vote threshold for budget reconciliation – like the Dims did. Budget reconciliation can be used to fund border wall & deportations.
Re: so-called MAGA influencers –
Go to President Trump’s approved influencers. They’re all in Mar a Largo & many travel on Air Force One.
It was a COALITION that propelled President Trump to the WH, not just MAGA alone.
Victim Mentality is ugly indeed!!!
Crush Them Indeed!
VSGGEPDJT Trump’s Restoration of the Republic is being resisted by smarmy clowns addicted to filthy lucre who spew scripture and smirk as they get theirs while making our prosperous peaceful future free of endlessly corrupt machinations a goal increasingly beyond reach or hope.
Furthermore, I consider that the Derp State MUST be destroyed!!
Ahh yes, the Republicans. In other words, the Washington Generals of DC continue snatching defeat from the jaws of victory.
You are quite consistent with your emotive exhortations to violence.
Seems your brief is rather brief.
…or he’s a bot.
We should be flagging comments like these.
Indeed.
Whether instigators or Derps or Foreign Agents, we cannot condone comity with evil clowns.
I guess Mad Hatter didn’t wrap his comment in a white linen napkin before posting. I hope he’s excused for being outraged.
Well I am too… I’ve been absolutely inundated with that clown Cruz’ texts since January begging for more MAGA money, telling me 5 times a day how he’s going to lose his seat if I don’t donate.
Then he votes for Thune. I hope he loses his next run… he enrages me, just like 3/4 of the Rs. And our firewall depends on them winning!
Great system we have here.
You should build a statue for him..
He is 100% correct
Done
I forget the flag is even there. Thanks for reminder..
It doesn’t take a lot of words to speak truth. Which is why lawyers never do
Hold your nose and vote down ticket even when you know down is uniparty. Afterward though you got to remove your fingers and know how awful the smell is.
Yes and No.
The pubbies have the majority and don’t HAVE to give Shumer anything. That’s Trump type leverage.
So offer them a deal:
1) Change the Senate Rules to make ALL Presidential nominations, both executive and judicial, require 1/2 +1 for consent. Any such nomination becomes automatically effective 30 days after submittal unless consent is refused by vote regardless of any other matter. Cloture and filibusters do not apply to the nomination process.
2) No amendments are allowed once a bill is voted out of committee.
3) All votes are by roll call only.
4) A Quorum requires 50% +1 of all elected Senators be present on the Senate floor. If a quorum is not present for 3 consecutive days, the Senate is automatically in recess and cannot be recalled for a minimum of 10 days.
4) All future changes to the Senate Rules require 3/4 approval of all elected Senators, in writing, and not just those present. No proxies are allowed.
Take it or leave it.
William Hindman for Senate!
I agree. Go out and crush them.!
The dirty senators will be exposed.

Don’t cave to their game
“Senator” Schummmmah is one of the most disgusting excuses for a human being — bar none — that I’ve seen in my 78 years of semi-useful consciousness … no center, no code, no honor, no integrity … absolutely nothing of any worth going on in him.
unreal
Anybody who thinks there is nothing but a uniparty in control of America is either willfully ignorant or just plain ignorant.
So what are Mikey and the Ghune saying to each other in the picture?
I bet it isn’t “we sure have the Dems on the run”.
I bet it’s more like “well, MAGA had their post-election fun, time to get back to ‘normal’ business”.
I forget what movie it was, the term is shoot the hostage. Maybe leave the senate vote blank in the midterm you’ll get a democrat or a rhino which is the same thing. Maybe you’ll get a better republican next time. Desperate times means desperate measures!
They think the old tactics will work.
They are going to their customary battle stations.
But, all but ten or so are complicit in the 2020 election theft and treason.
They happily posed with Xi.
They clapped like trained seals for Netanyahu.
They allowed the Awan Brothers (Muslim Brotherhood) to spy on them.
They forget
“We caught them all.”
Somewhere tonight, Team Trump is grinning, because
Nothing Can Stop What Is Coming
Wait for it.
The CLUB lives.
2026 is the key for now. The GOP senators up for reelection in 2026 who will be running in elections without PDJT at the top of the ballot to drag them along should be reminded that MAGA have long memories. They can’t win without us, and there should be a robust primary season ahead of the mid-terms. The GOPe wing of the uniparty can huff each other’s farts in the Senate cloak room for only so long before they have to explain themselves to the electorate.
The Republicans always do this. When a Dem is President they announce that a President has the privilege of having the cabinet he wants; when it’s a Republican President,well we have to make ethical judgements on the President’s nominees and we decide if they are worthy of the position. Makes me sick.
“Crush the opposition….”
100%.
How is it the people in “leadership” don’t/won’t see this?
Leadership?
Or Deceivership?
