John Thune has announced the new Senate Republican Committee Chairs and Members. [WEBSITE]
Within the announcement, the Chairman of the Senate Select Committee on Intelligence is Senator Tom Cotton. This puts Senator Cotton together with Democrat Vice-Chair Mark Warner. This appointment also puts Tom Cotton on the Intelligence Community “Gang of Eight.”
A position within the Gang of Eight comes as a result of holding one of the following eight positions: 1. The Speaker of the House, 2. The Minority Leader of the House, 3. the Majority Leader of the Senate, 4. the Minority Leader of the Senate, 5. the Chairperson of the House Permanent Committee on Intelligence, 6. the minority leader from the same committee; 7. The Chairperson of the Senate Intelligence Committee and 8. the minority leader of the same committee.
In March of 2016 an exclusive list of politicians, top tech executives, billionaires, donors and influence agents gathered at a secretive meeting with key leaders of the Washington DC UniParty. The meeting was to discuss their plans to destroy Donald Trump. The meeting took place at the exclusive enclave in Sea Island Georgia.
Over time, almost every single member of the Sea Island Group who attended that weekend meeting have detonated themselves in an effort to try and take down President Trump. Just as the axiom ‘never trust a never Trumper’ has been proven true repeatedly, so too is the sentiment ‘just wait, if they attended Sea Island, they will eventually expose their intent to destroy Trump.’ [READ HERE] Senator Tom Cotton was an attendee!
WASHINGTON — U.S. Sen. John Thune (R-S.D.) today announced the Senate Republican Conference committee assignments for the 119th Congress. The assignments have been ratified by the Senate Republican Conference and are expected to be ratified by the full Senate early next Congress.

Prepare For Battle!
Tom Rotten.
A taller and skinnier version of
Lindsey Graham. War-mongers.
And not above the dirty deeds of the most
corrupt.🤬🤬
Here is article he signed threatening UN Khan.
“We will move forward to end all support for the ICC,
sanction your employees and associates, and bar
you and your families from the United States.
You have been warned.”
💥 💥 No matter what/who the reason…this was just wrong..period.
Threatening someone’s families…🤬🤬🤬
🤣 🤣 and for people who say UN is so bad…
🪧 here’s your sign. US controls UN.
GOP Senators Threaten ICC: ‘Target Israel and We Will Target You’ | Common Dreams
👆 👆 👆
We need a 100 year moratorium on imigration, and also put the United Nations on a Carribean Island like it was originally planned.
Then we need to get out of the UN, because we had to suffer the consequences for it operating in the biggest financial city in the United States.
Withdrawal from the UN, move it out of the US, I don’t care which comes first, but we need to divorce ourselves and our monies from it, 100%!
No comment about his despicable behavior of
threatening family members?
🤬 🤬 That is about as low as a person can get.🤬🤬
The United Nations is despicable! Corrupt to its core, and full of those who hate the nation that pays its bills.
“Threatening” people by telling them they and their families is not a threat in the way you intended it to sound. It is the logical repercussions for those who do not support the end of the ICC.
Have to remind that ICC is not an organization of United Nations and the United States is not a state-party of ICC.
If you look at Tom Cotton’s first campaign for Senate you will discover 1 million $$ reportedly donated to a PAC related to Israel.
I doubt that he is corrupt just a true believer in anything “Is-Ra-El”.
He looks like a dirty little opossum. Then of course all of Washington is Dirty in one way or the other. Just one massive crime scene and our fine politicians ,fit in just right.Just a bevy of scumbags.sht Birds.
District of Criminals…
District of Corruption.
So Thune still picks Cotton.
Tom Polyester. He is wrinkle-free, wash-n-wear through the laundry and 100% artificial.
Well, bless his heart.
This is no surprise.
It was always in the cards.
President Trump is prepared for this battle; don’t doubt him.
I was glad to see Rand Paul as chair of Homeland Security.
He admittedly voted to certify a fraudulent election and fake pResident. Homeland Security.
Let’s get Elon to primary him out.
Rand Paul voted No on the wall
Here is why Rand voted NO.
https://www.paul.senate.gov/news-dr-rand-paul-releases-statement-national-emergency-vote/
Rand Paul talks big, but where is he when it counts?
He (Rand Paul) is in the same place as Trey Gowdy was…all talk, no action. Just like Jim Jordan and Comer and Grassley and etc.
Exactly. All hat, no cattle.
Same for can be said for many republicans like, Reps Jordan & Comer, failed to impeach Biden, shame.
In the past their excuse was that they only have 1/2 of 1/3 control of the Government. Next year they will have to come up with another excuse for being weak, stupid and ineffective when they control 100% of the Government.
Exactly where Chip Roy is.
Chip endorsed DeSantis, but he has a 100% conservative voting Liberty Score. Very rare in the Republican Party, since most Republicans are Democrats, but no Democrats are Republicans.
Looks like the most main street friendly committee.
Another “cotton pickin’ moment” that we can all hate.
I would much rather have Bill Duke in the foxhole next to me than Carl Weathers..
Especially since Weathers is deceased.
Cmon ma’am. No kidding. Bill Duke’s character was awesome, he saw the Predator first and would do anything for his bros. the character of the late Mr. Weathers was a self serving Spook.
Sorry, I don’t live or keep up with the movie world of make believe.
Wow. Shiz got serious up in here.
Jeebus, relax friend……..
Heavenly days.
Does not being a movie buff carry a fine with it?
Sorry to traumatize y’all.
Ma’am you do keep up with the world of make believe.. the one coming out of the District Of Criminality..
If only it were nothing more than a movie, instead of reality.
You should make some popcorn and go ahead and watch “Predator” at this point. Don’t bother with the sequels.
Thanks, but I’ll pass and stick with reality. Don’t need a movie for popcorn.
Reality is hard. Good Day.
Yes, indeed, at times, much of it is hard. But, it is truth, not fiction.
Good day to you, too.
Charlie Kirk went out of his way to mention Tom Cotton earlier this evening on Timcast.
And said that Turning point will focus on the Senate and make the Senate in the image of its voters
Turning point will only engage in comfortable Red States
Their goal is not to shrink the majority but US Senators need to be put on notice
Focusing on the relics of the Republican party and claims that Tom Cotton is on borrowed time if Tulsi is not confirmed
He would be more effective doing the House where for cents on the dollar he can promote a MAGA super majority. We need to save 2026 from an almost guaranteed democrat takeover.
A MAGA super majority in the House… really? There’s maybe 30 MAGA republicans in the House right now.
Always remember the fact that most Republicans are Democrats but no Democrats are Republicans. The Uniparty is alive and well in DC.
Almost guaranteed ?
Sally,
You have been (D)eceived .
Trust God.
Fear not.
Kirk also advocated repealing the 17th Amendment, which I found interesting.
Repealing the 17th is at the top of the list of things we need but that will probably never happen. The original intent of the Constitution was to have US Senators elected by their home state legislature. It would give some level of accountability back to their home state. The 17th amended that so that it’s more “democratic”. All one has to do is look at someone like John Cornyn to realize what happens when a senator is no longer tethered back to their home state 6 years at a time. They are only accountable to the scum they work with in D.C. The original intent probably wouldn’t be a panacea but it would be much better than what it has devolved into today. More proof that the writers of the Constitution REALLY knew what they were doing! When you look at the long list of senators Sundance posted in this article, it’s enough to kill your soul…
Had the 17th been repealed years ago, John McCain would probably have advanced to janitor in Arizona, assuming they would have him.
Kirk is right. If Senators could be recalled by their state’s Congress, they would work for us , the People,and not their own glory and profit as they do now.
Charlie Kirk 🤬🤬🤬
Don’t get me started on that no good weasel.
🤬 🤬
I am still furious about what he did in Arizona
to Kari Lake…with his best buddy Ron DiSanctimonious.🤬.
And that is just one reason
in my very long list of why Charlie Kirk is
not MAGA…or even America First.
Yes! Kirk is the grifter weasel in MAGA clothing and it makes me nauseous to see how he’s being embraced by so many on the right
If it wasn’t for Charlie Kirk you would be talking about president elect Kamala Harris right now.
Amazing how some people just don’t get it. They attack this guy, Bannon, Tucker, Tulsi, Kennedy, Vance, Musk etc…….. on this forum for months before the election.
I think Kirk helped MAGA on college campuses with his method of challenging those kids; sort of like how Steven Crowder did.
Charlie Kirk and his TPUSA backers: Ground Zero for CONservative Inc.
A modern enclave of professional grifters who spawned an entire industry of internet and television podcasts by people with intelligence inversely proportional to their egos.
A lot of people
Making a lot of $$$ money
By claiming sooper secret insider knowledge of ticks tocks plans and booms.
What did you do?
I refused to pretend; I spoke honestly with hundreds of people I encountered daily through my job.
I worked with the Tea Party in VA before I moved here, to shed sunlight on Obama’s fundamental destruction of America; I shared the abundant knowledge I learned from Sundance’s research.
I donated to President Trump regularly. I attended rallies and made contacts I use to this day.
And many other things as well.
I prayed daily for strength and wisdom.
And I’m still not pretending.
Kirk is a big self-promoter, like Mark Levin and many others in the Conservative movement. But I would rather have him on the Republican side than the alternative.
Your actions are truly admirable. My point is, we need to encourage everyone not discourage them since no one is perfect.
I never discouraged Charlie Kirk from anything.
He is a DeSantis supporting, Sea Island funded, grifter who has never been MAGA. That is all I pointed out.
Yup!
I can certainly tell the commenters
who are new here.
Charlie Kirk has been under the microscope
for quite some time.
He was promoting DiSanctimonious even
before DiSanctimonious announced he was
running for President. We saw what Kirk was
doing. Much discussion here about Kirk being
non MAGA…or even America First 🇺🇸
And it was during Kari run for Governor,
and since then, when I see the little weasels name…
my teeth really clench. 🤬🤬
Scott Pressler did more for MAGA than kooky-Kirk
ever did.
What are you talking about? He’s not allowed to make money? Would you also slam Rush Limbaugh for doing the same thing? He made more than a half billion $ from radio, tv, internet…
Charlie Kirk recruited hundreds of thousands of young people in key states who would not have voted for Trump or possibly would have voted for Harris. Without Kirk there would be no president-elect Donald Trump.
Absolutely not true. Barron Trump, in collaboration with his generation of Alt Media, brought all the winning margin of votes to Donald Trump.
Wow, just wow! You must not have watched any of Charlie Kirk’s videos at college campuses. He recruited thousands of college students to the TPUSA- MAGA cause. He made the case for biblical principles, especially for the unborn, as well as the 2nd Amendment.
He has created more enthusiasm among those young students to get involved with a cause that they can believe in. Kids want a purpose to fight for. That is what I saw. The Harris booth had no throngs of students surrounding them. Charlie had hundreds of enthusiastic students wanting to ask questions and hoping to get a MAGA hat.
I did not see Baron forming large groups and expanding other campuses to create new chapters and getting them involved to get people registered and harvest those early ballots
Or did I miss something last year while I was caring for my dying mother and helping my grieving children with their father dying with a sudden incurable brain disease?
I’ve decided that if this election had been conducted according to some commenters here, we may have convinced maybe, just maybe, a handful of new MAGA voters. Turning Point, Kirk and Bannon have converted many to our side. Give it a break with your purity tests.
A snake is a snake.
🐍 🐍
Kirk has long been identified as one.
Nothing to do with “purity tests”.
People like Scott Pressler have much more respect.👏👏
They were actually on the ground…doing the
work getting people to register.
Getting tangible results.
Kirk and others….just having get togethers and….
preaching to the choir.🤢 staying in the spotlight.
Kirk,Owens and the rest,making money screaming Fire.
Meanwhile, at Lindseys house shortly after receiving the good news. They know we know….
A lot of tissue, a bottle of lotion and a computer. Yeah, the IC owns Lindsey.
AI is really something, isn’t it?
I don’t like Ms Lindsey McCain anymore than anyone else, and I want him gone yesterday, but I DO object to creating fake images (or anything else) that would undermine the truth and righteousness of the MAGA movement.
Yeah. What scares me the most about the fakes is the IC or Justice using it to frame or destroy the lives of innocent people.
Makes it much easier to “show me the man and I’ll show you the crime”. The above pic is a good example of creating false “evidence”.
Uniparty gets a lot of political mileage from sniffers and laptops.

Dems Panicked That Secretive Government Censorship Agency Will Be Terminated If Trump Wins
https://revolver.news/2024/10/dems-panicked-secretive-government-censorship-agency-will-be-terminated-if-trump-wins/
EEEEEEEEWWWWWWWW.
Well, at least we know what happened to one of The Laptop(s) From Hell..
Graham is so rotten even the mouse won’t be near him.
The only thing Miss Lindsey can get “up” is a cruise missile.
And how pray tell did you get this picture?
I never knew there is a committee for Aging. It seems like the Turtle ought to be on that one.
Thanks for the laugh Genie i needed that
I just went down that list and what is it about the Dakotas’ their senators seem to be on every committee – several times – almost.
They must have an enormous population for such representation.
Also, Lankford on Intel and Ethics means another Russia hoax is brewing.
Never Trump RINOs still control the Senate.
My long gone grandmother lived in the Dakotas. She personally knew almost all the politicians because of her job. Once the Pols are in and solid in their appeal, their constituents won’t even consider removing them. Once in all they have to do is stay “nice” to the little people. So they have seniority in most cases because they stay in as long as they like and can hardly be primaried or beaten.
Is Pelosi Vice Chair on that one? LOL
Maybe Vice Wheel Chair…
He’s more at the Preservation Committee or Committee on Petrification stage.
Grassley is the oldest at 90.
Anyone ever wonder what the attendees were promised to have them go against the will of the people?
Lots of $$$$$$$.
Why, why , why? Is Mitch McConnell’s name and any of his damn sea islanders anywhere near a committee of any kind dealing with a Trump presidency?
WTF? Get rid of that man. He’s as bad as Biden and worse than Obama. I am too old to give a goat’s fart about the rest of my life but I damn sure care about the future for my family and my country. This needs to stop and it needs to stop right f’n now.
Time to watch,
‘The Shooter’. “I’m a US Senator! Exactly.
Hope for the best, prepare for the worst. . .
Living that mantra can become exhausting.
It is.
President Trump has picked his team, and now his opposition have picked theirs.
Let the games begin, and may the American People prove to have red-pillef and be impatient, and pissed and ready to run right over anyone foolish enough to try to stand in front of the Trump Train.
So, why doesn’t Trump use the NSA to get dirt on all the Deep State operatives to include the RINOs? He said he caught them all.
Sacrifice an egregious mid-level corrupt Democrat and Republican to avoid partisanship claims and strike fear in everyone else. If they still resist, take out Crenshaw, Pelosi and a few others on insider trading. Let them know there’s an easy way (pass the MAGA agenda) and a hard way (resist the MAGA agenda) to do things. I doubt many have the pain threshold that Trump went thru. Resistance will collapse.
Because Trump doesn’t control the NSA!!!
THEY DO !!!!
Exactly Trump can never drain the swamp. “They” are the untouchables.
Yup! +1000.

Not exactly. Trump can place whoever he wants to be Director of NSA. One hopes he understands the importance of this position, or you are right, we do not make much progress.
Has Tom Cotton ever said or done ANYTHING against MAGA or Trump?
Ever?
Yes, he went to the Island. That was enough.
Elon Musk attended Sea Island as well.
Uh oh..
Let’s go!!
Always MAGA 👊👊🇺🇸🇺🇸🙏🏻🙏🏻❤️❤️
Tom Cotton honored his oath in 2015 by standing up for the Constitution (notably Article II, Section 2 … treaties), as the Obama Administration reworked the Iran deal with Senate acceptance of the Obama construct that 2/3 of the Senate could negate a treaty completed solely by the President, instead of what the Constitution requires: 2/3 of the Senate to approve a treaty offered by the President.
Name me another Senator who voted for the Constitution that day. I’ll give you a hint: the vote was 98-1 for Obama with Cotton against and Boxer absent. No other US Senator fulfilled their oath to support and defend the Constitution — not one! In fact, they all violated their oaths in that vote. Supporting and defending the Constitution, which veterans like me took an oath to do, is more important than having MAGA creds. Standing alone, Cotton honored his Constitutional oath and given the shallowness and corruption of today’s politicians (including so-called MAGA politicians), I greatly respect him for doing that.
That’s it? That’s all Cotton has done? Wow.
Honoring the oath to support and defend the Constitution – something Paul, Cruz, Rubio, Sessions and the other majority Republicans of the 114th Congress abrogated with their votes.
One vote that literally meant nothing. That’s a virtue signal if I ever saw one. Tom Cotton is a snake.
I give you an example of supporting and defending the Constitution and you give me name-calling…what brilliance!
Re-reading all those Quislings names repeatedly made me feel like I was on the Gravi-tron at the State Fair.
There is no telling what Greatness America could achieve for herself and the the remainder of the World if our Elected “Leaders” actually worked for the benefit of their Constituents and not their bank account(s).
Congress is flailing. One of the most pathetic and hilarious things to witness is when a con is burned and the players don’t know it yet but the mark does.
I’ll never forget this a**hole telling us it’s “time to move on” after the 2020 steal. Total POS. Can’t stand hearing a word out of his lie/war mongering mouth.
Yep.
Yes, I remember being disappointed after hearing him say to move on after the 2020 election.
That became my simple litmus test to all those that served in the Congress and Senate . If they said move on and did admit election fraud and fight for President Trump, then, to me, it didn’t matter what else they did or said. Their selfish motives were revealed.
I am from Arkansas. Tom Cotton is as solid as I have seen. Why people here are condemning him makes me wonder about all of the other things that are said. Many are running their mouths about stuff they know nothing about.
He didn’t tell us to move on from the election steal?
Why so defensive? I’m from Iowa and have personally met and donated to my senators in the past. I’m now awake and aware of their alignment against president Trump’s agenda and what the American voters mandated in both 2016 and now in 2024. It’s okay to admit you’re wrong and have learned your senator is just as fake as the next one when the cameras are off.
I’m from AR too. But his refusal to stand against the obvious election fraud in 2020 was determinative.
Talk is cheap. I’ll grant you, he does often talk well. But I want to see him take a hard stand. He failed in 2021.
That linked HuffPost article says Elon Musk was part of the March 2016 meeting, too. Interesting.
Everybody gets a job and some get a couple. Who needed a pay rise when they all get extra pay committee places. Pay offs galore. Failing upwards.
But, don’t they get placed in Committees based on how much money they raise for the Party? It’s a “play for pay” situation from what I’ve read. I agree…way too much overlap.
Yes.
Yup. New Gingrich was the architect of that scheme.
looks like many of the same people are on different committees
meaning more than one
they don’t have anyone else lol?
It is a mob of elites. Until the Turtle Caucus does not rule quietly in the background, we will face this.
Tom Cotton evolves from neocon hero to MAGA icon – Washington Examiner
Can’t the gang of 8 ruling over POTUS be sidelined?
Wait a Cotton picking minute……I actually said that once before; when Cotton was elected.
‘All governments suffer a recurring problem:
Power attracts pathological personalities. It is not that power corrupts but that it is magnetic to the corruptible.’

I see the Do-Nothing Twins from TN are both well rewarded with committee assignments.
IF Thune APPOINTED, we are to be excited???
NOBODY Thune appoints is worth one dam*****
I did not see either Senatorial selection from Georgia on those committees. Ossoff and Warnock.
Where the cotton blooms and blows. That’s what we’ll be getting from Tom Cotton: hot air and a lot of bloomin’ lies.
Trey Gowdy, Jim Jordan, Marsha Blackburn, Ted Cruz…following that long line (and dozens MORE) of sounding so tough and DOING ABSOLUTELY NOTHING!!!!
I used to troubleshoot circuits for tape and hard drives when those kinds of jobs still existed. The really brain dead employees would always make themselves useful signing up for the Christmas committee, the Diversity committee, the security committee, the parking lot committee, blah blah blah.
Find out how many of the 20(!) committees have accomplished nothing, and eliminate them.
Unfortunately this part of the gummint is not under the Executive.
PDJT has no power to dump committees there.
But we can all work to get rid of who’s on them – no matter how long it takes.
Small wonder that the business of the people doesn’t get done. The people’s representatives are busy with their social clubs.
Death to all warhawks
Conservative Review’s “Liberty Scores”:
Tom Cotton B 81%
Jim Risch B 82%
Susan Collins F 20%
John Cornyn F 54%
Jerry Moran F 51%
James Lankford C 76%
Mike Rounds F 52%
Todd Young F 52%
Marco Rubio C 71%
No way on James Lankford.
That’s an uninformative post unless you specify in what way. Too high or low of a rating and why?
Noted. You are correct. Lankford rating is too high. I live in Oklahoma. Maybe it’s the way that Conservative Review does the scoring, but if one lives in this state, one knows. The problem is finding a strong challenger to run against him. He’s entrenched.
Narco Lubio is way high on his score as well.
The senate select committee on intelligence. What it does is the same thing,your local Country club do. They decide if you are criminal enough to be in the club. Should you have nefarious leanings , according to them.You want honesty in government no inside trading no money laundering thru grants and foreign aid.their deep state buddies have no film of you at a perv party , things like that. Then they will do their best to see you never get confirmed.Should be unconstitutional but heck ,most of D C is unconstitutional. There are two classes in this country,the ones that work and pay taxes and the ones living off our taxes.They can call themselves professor CEO Politician or Movie star or Main stream media bobble heads,they are still leaches on society and produce nothing bu t B S and trouble.

Pffft…
There Is No Oversight: The NSA Withheld Documents From Intelligence Committee Heads
Mar 28th 2014
https://www.techdirt.com/articles/20140327/08140826708/there-is-no-oversight-nsa-withheld-documents-intelligence-committee-heads.shtml
There has never been effective oversight of the NSA’s bulk collections programs, or indeed, intelligence agencies in general. There’s been a lot of noise made about this vaunted oversight in defense of programs revealed by leaked documents, but this is nothing more than a talking point.
At The Big Picture, a clip of Sen. John D. Rockefeller (then Chairman of the Senate Select Committee on Intelligence) discussing how oversight actually works has been posted. It’s from an interview given in 2007, about the time the FISA Amendments Act was being put together to replace the expiring Protect America Act. The amendments act, among other things, extended the length of warrantless surveillance and gave telecoms retroactive immunity for their participation in the NSA’s bulk collections.
Here’s Sen. John D. Rockefeller explaining why, even back in 2007, intelligence agency oversight was a joke.
DAVIS: Reports quote administration officials as saying this is going on and it’s being done in a way to avoid oversight of the Intelligence Committee. Is there any way—
ROCKEFELLER: They’ll go to any lengths to do that, as we’ve seen in the last two days [during hearings on FISA].
DAVIS: Is there anything you could do in your position as Chairman of the Intelligence Committee to find answers about this, if it is in fact going on?
ROCKEFELLER: Don’t you understand the way Intelligence works? Do you think that because I’m Chairman of the Intelligence Committee that I just say I want it, and they give it to me? They control it. All of it. ALL of it. ALL THE TIME. I only get – and my committee only gets – what they WANT to give me.

TUCKER CARLSON: Members of Congress are terrified of the intel agencies. I’m not guessing at that. They’ve told me that, including people who run the Intel Committee and including people who run the Intel Committee. The people whose job is it to oversee and keep in line these enormous secretive agencies whose budgets we can’t even know — their “black budgets.” They’re the parents, the agencies are the children. They’re afraid of the agencies.

Crossroads with JOSHUA PHILIPP
5 Feb 2024
Cotton is just another RINO war-monger.
Donald Trump just said he is going to fully fund the Ukraine War, and up the NATO contributions to 5%.
The Zen Master says, “We’ll see.”
Message to Congress from We The People:
We. Hate. You.
Should not have narrowed it to Congress, as this thread is about Senators. My bad.
Great listing of committee member assignments. Print it out including EO term date, place on our walls, war rooms.
New scumbag same as the old scumbag.
Looks like a who’s who list of backstabbing RINO WEF sock puppets. They are killing the golden goose. We are one financial black swan away from collapse.
Only 2 non rinos
We still have a shit-hole in D.C. of Senate and Congress members. Scanning the list of committee appointments, I’m thinking, “He should be in prison…she should be indicted…” and the list was only the REPUBLICANS.’
Oh Lord, hear our prayer.
we citizens are sick and tired of these tyrannical A holes time for term limits is WAY over due….also take away pensions and mcconnell’s chinese millions….then string them, up….
WOW…..To say that those committee’s are overloaded with RINOS is an Understatement of astronomical proportions.
I have noticed the 4 rino senators from the dakotas are on a lot of, for lack of better description, prominent committees. What is Thune asking in return. Oh wait – stupid question. Being from both states I loathe all four of them. Cannot be trusted. I think Rounds is probably the worst as he portrayed himself as just a regular guy. Both states are small and have met a couple of them before they were in congress They were slimy back then. Rounds has come a long way from being governor where he would go shopping at Walmart and answer the phone at the governors mansion.
Lobbyists had this list weeks ago.
Senate Republicans are the least inspiring collection of puppets that could possibly be assembled
