The Senate will vote today on Kash Patel’s nomination to lead the FBI. If confirmed, Patel will be the 18th Cabinet official approved by lawmakers since President Donald Trump’s inauguration one month ago. Hearing from the base of supporters, almost all republicans have now rallied around Patel; finally admitting the FBI needed structural reform.
A cloture vote to end debate is just completed. Mitch McConnell voted to affirm Patel, and 51-47 was the final cloture vote. The final full Senate confirmation vote is expected at 1:45pm EST and should be consistent with the cloture outcome. Livestream Link Below:
.
There is a White House Press secretary briefing at 1:00 pm, the full Senate vote confirming Kash Patel is at 1:45 pm. President Trump is having a White House event at 3:00 pm and will speaking to the Republican governors at 7:20 pm.
.
Oh Lord, hear our prayer.
Amen!
Amen.
Amen!
Amen!
I know you’ve heard it so many times before 🎼
He did!
Mcturtle is giving his farewell, I will not seek reelection speech now on the floor. I don’t trust him to vote aye for Kash in the final vote. Vance picked a bad day to be in Florida
I wish The Turtle would do us all a favor and just wave bye-bye and resign!!!
the unders on 12 months he meets his maker is a good bet
The meeting with his Maker will be very brief, at which time he will move a little farther “south” for eternity.
The lake of fire awaits!
Mitch, where will you spend Eternity? Smoking or non-smoking??
“Depart from me ye worker of iniquity.”
The similarities between McCain & McConnel’s demise are eerily similar. Self enrichment, vindictive, Pubbie in name only, remaining beyond their expiration date. Lastly, their legacy is beyond repair.
I think the same for Biden. God is cleaning the toxic dump!
and the fake Poop, er Pope is in Gods waiting room, as well…
Haven’t seen the potted plant in a month. I wonder how he looks without daily visits from Dr. Feelgood?
Who goes first Mitch or Joe?
As much as I want him gone, remember the governor of Kentucky is a dem.
As I understand it the Gov of Kentucky would be required to appoint a Senator from the Republican Party from a list drafted by the Republican legislature…
Yes and there in lies the problem.
Well, we’ll get another RINO. No change.
Is that a state law in KY?
Yes, But the Governor is challenging it.
True, but the Democratic governor has questioned that law, saying it intrudes on executive authority.
Oh my, is he acting like a dictator?
McConnell isn’t resigning. He’s not seeking reelection.
McConnell is not running for election next year…..
Kentucky has a democrat governor. He would appoint Mitch’s successor. As much as it hurts, we need Mitch to finish out his term. He will at least be a yes vote for Trump’s judges.
That’s not accurate. Kentucky law states the party in power nominates three people within its own party for the governor to nominate from.

What makes you so sure that Mich would vote yes for PT’s judicial nominees if they were not judges that Mitch and gang recommended?
Your wish has been granted!
he picked?
Turtle voted Yes
In the cloture vote, I don’t trust him to vote yes in the nomination vote
He voted yes on cloture for Hegseth and Bobby Kennedy as well, before voting no in the actual confirmation vote. I expect the same thing will happen here.
And he just voted aye on confirmation I believe. It’s gonna happen…….
That was on the cloture vote. Look for Turtle the Toddler to vote no on the floor vote.
Just one more irrelevant tantrum from Turtle the Toddler.
John McCain’s crap again!
I heard Susan Collins is a no on Patel.😡
I despise this woman
Time for her to retire
Mitch, the Senile Toddler Fence Post Turtle!
Wish Vance would just walk into the Senate office announced about 1:30.
If Vance is needed but not available it would be a monumental screw-up. Why would he be absent for such a crucial vote, CPAC or no CPAC?
Nah. Trump knows he has the votes. So does Thune.
Collins confirmed she is a hard NO on Kash.
The DOGE boys need to uncover Collins dirty money.
I think Kash should call out both Collins and Murkowski as racists who just don’t want to see a “brown man” get ahead…. and bring it up every single time their names are mentioned! You know it’s what the left would do!
You can hear/see Collins has speech/hand tremors. She probably has Parkinson’s, which was brought on or exacerbated by possibly getting 💉💉.
Parkinsons is on the rise. Couldn’t be the multiple jabs could it, hmmm?
SHE DOES HAVE PARKINSON’S
She’s as squishy as Maine!
Well when you have a 90% white population you can afford the luxury of being politically correct and sanctimoniously liberal . I would like to see the people of Maine deal with the crap you have in other parts of the U.S.
He needs to be available!
Well JD just gave a speech at CPAC in Florida, don’t know if he could fly back in time
His speech was here at CPAC in National Harbor.
No doubt he’s back at the White House and ready to cast the deciding vote if the Senate’s 50-50.
Sorry, I thought it was in Florida.
He’s at CPAC in Maryland
JD was the first speaker at CPAC and I am wondering if he is already on a plane back to DC in case his boat is needed to get Kash confirmed? I have no doubt that the Turtle and the two harpies will vote no because that’s just who they are…
Cassidy of Louisiana signaled that he will be voting yes, after dragging it out, just like he did with RFK jr. He likes to pretend he’s very important and deliberative but in the end, I suspect someone has enough dirt on him that he has to go along, because that’s the way Washington works!
Pure negotiation.
He is at CPAC in DC!!
He will vote for Kash
As far as I’m concerned, the turtle can take his treasonous ass out the door now. Musk may need to take a look at his books before departing
Vance isn’t in Florida…hes across the river in Maryland @CPAC
He needs to fly back asap
So what are the chances he and Pam announce National Security Money Laundering Investigations Friday morning at 8:00 am?
50/50
I hope Kash goes through the FBI like a hot knife through butter.
Hey Sis!
I’m hoping for a “Triple Lindy” dive into the FBI malfeasance pool!
Hat Tip to “Back to School” with Rodney Dangerfield.
The number of thumbs up I’d give to see it, my brother 😁
<smiles>
😉 👍🏻
Triple Lindy for the win!!! Remember to check the wind direction.
😉 👍🏻
Thank you, Sundance! 🙂
Have seen Kash Patel being interviewed on Elijah Streams, was quite impressed. Hoping and praying he gets confirmed. Godspeed!
Prepare for feces in a whirwind.
Per the usual!!
They’ve thrown so much shite at us, it doesn’t faze me any more. No more shocked face. Just a nod.
collins announced a ‘no’ on kash
why?
her skeletons have been hidden far too long
a ripe subject for investigation
Collins is a Democrat wearing Republican clothing.
Collins won’t be happy until Maine is 90% Somalian. Seems like most of Maine’s original population feels the same way?
This reminds me of an English woman I met about 10 years ago – an educator – who was quite proud that the English were a minority in her city. Literally – she was proud of this.
Another receipt that proves that liberalism is a mental disorder.
Would amp up your thought to “that clothing is pretty worn thin and exposes massive tears and holes, and is full democrat clothing underneath.”
She is not worth voting for at this point, even including that wornout phrase “the lesser of two evils.” Kick her to the curb, the same way she has kicked us to the curb for years.
Collins is a Democrat. Fixed it for ya.
FWIW — I count 18 nominations already confirmed so I think Patel would be number 19.
My source is the US Senate Nomination site which currently lists:
So far there have been 176 PT nominees of which– 18 have been confirmed, 5 are on the executive calendar(including Patel), and 153 are still stuck in committee.
https://www.senate.gov/legislative/nominations_new.htm
Kash is king.
If he doesn’t get the vote, who do you think the #2 choice would be (AKA who is the Pam Bondi to Kash Patel’s Matt Gaetz? scenario).
Run him again. And again.
Thune puts the Senate in recess.
He better
Does Vance have to in person to cast a tie breaker
Yes
I suspect the votes are effectively whipped or Kash has a plan to be back for the vote.
Yes…they should have the votes…although you never know about Murkowski & McConnell.
Probably will not need VP…but if they do, he’s available.
Thank goodness CPAC was just outside DC this year instead of its usual FL location!
Also…Boozman (AR) missed cloture vote (don’t know reason), but he is a definite YES if present for the final vote.
Pretty sure they wouldn’t have scheduled this vote on a day when Vance was out of town.
I admit I was a little nervous when Vance was in Europe when RFK Jr was confirmed, but obviously they knew the score in advance
Boozman is such an apropos name for a U.S. Congressman.
I’ll assume you meant VP Vance instead of Mr. Kash Patel needing to be back for the vote.
Mitch actually did his job?? LOL.
Mitch voted yes … The Turtle must hear the horsemen’s hoofbeats gaining on hm.
Voted to affirm him in the cloture vote. Final vote is yet to come.
Mitch just gave his retirement speech for about the 10th time. Not resigning immediately of course, but just that he will not seek another term.
His old ‘same old same’ speech is getting rather old too.
Mitch is such an old senile dinosaur he can’t remember all the other times he threatened to retire.
Go away already.

Which Republicans didn’t vote? And can someone please tell me where to get the WH daily schedule
All I know is Collins voted no. 2 Senators did not vote and I don’t know who
We only have 53. If Collins voted no then 1 dem and 1 rep didn’t vote.
Boozman & Fetterman did not vote.
This is the only thing I know of.
https://rollcall.com/factbase/trump/calendar/
Thanks
How much longer the enemies of America are going to drag this out?
Made the mistake of listening to the ignorant drool of a few of the Dims slamming Patel. People like Schifforbrains and that moron woman from Hawaii are nothing short of a disgrace to the nation
You got that right.
Sch!ttferbrains is still droning on.
Bleh

As Marve Albert used to say: YES!
JD better get on a plane to DC. McConnell gonna pull a McCain probably, and Murkowski could as well.
Supposedly, the vote for confirmation will take place around 1:45 pm to 2:00 pm, so VP Vance has plenty of time as they can drag out a vote for 2+ hours if needed.
I think CPAC is in DC this year.
It is in Maryland very close to DC
Thank goodness!
AG Bondi, Bove and Martin can’t do much until Kash is confirmed and inside the FBI. Even then it will take a few days to flush-out the worms!
Exciting news, but there are enough RINOs to make this an unnecessary nail-biter with their foolish brinksmanship.
I expect a mass of resignations as soon as the final votes are tallied and he’s confirmed. They won’t stick around and try to work with him because they know they can’t.
Party’s over, socialists. You don’t have to go home, but you can’t stay here.
May God continue to Bless & Protect our greatest President Trump, all cabinet picks, our families & our country. i ask in Jesus Name. Amen.
Mitch might vote yes for cloture.
I predict Mitch votes no on Kash in confirmation – to make it 50-50.
The only question for me … does he have a hidden ally to make it 49-51.
He’s a snake, that one.
There are a number of positions still to be confirmed, but this is arguably the last major one before the enema to remove the deep state really begins. The money (DOGE) and the law (DOJ, FBI) – these are two of the horns of the beast and the two the government, in the right hands, is best positioned to deal with.

IMO the pro union “R” labor woman could also bring trouble, especially with the majority of independent business
folks being right to work and keep my money.

Toxic RINO Senator Susan Collins (ME) on Thursday morning announced she is a “no” vote on Kash Patel.
The Senate will vote to confirm Kash Patel as FBI Director on Thursday. Senator Collins came out against Kash Patel just hours before the vote.
Senator Collins said her decision to vote against Kash Patel comes after a flood of firings and resignations at the Justice Department.
Not expecting much from Kash. Bondi has been a disappointment as well.
What are you talking about? Bondi is a disappointment? Get real.
That’s OK, as I’m not expecting much except disappointment from Sally either. <smiles>
I thought the Dirty Dems worshiped Diversity? Oh wait…
Where did she crawl out of.
Could be that they hold the final vote until JD gets back from whatever trip he is on. Other than that, I think Thune has to think that he has the votes.
Sorry I’m having a hard time keeping track – we definitely don’t trust this guy, right? He’s a truth manager, etc.
To whom are you referring?
There was a post from Sundance on this, you are correct.
Ok thanks. Not trying to be flippant but there’s just a lot going these days between all the players. Last time around things got so ugly lots of knives in backs. If these folks do good stuff that’s great but am expecting typical uniparty deep state shenanigans eventually.
To the Senate, no credit only Kash!
Swear him in and RELEASE the Epstein files to the public….TODAY.
I’m enjoying the presser. It’s great so far.
Cartels are now terrorists “law of the land” per Steve Miller speaking now
Collins is a No vote….
ChynaMitch is a no vote…who else?
Vance may be 51 vote to confirm
So many senate rinos ( Uni party) need to be #Cheneyd
God bless 🇺🇸
No, McTurtle went yes. Only the Wicked Witches of the North went no. 51-49 final. Done. We win.
Aybe Rep Thomas Massie will want senate seat
👋 😘
Collins has come out against Patel, you know cocaine Mitch will vote no
Then the witch in Alaska
If we lose one more
Mitch McConnell not backstabbing President Trump on his way out
is only because he knows he will be one of the ones investigated
for questionable wealth during his time in office.
He is trying to play the nice guy for his own benefit.
We see right through him.
JUST TOLD the Wife That VERY THING…
” I’ll ANNOUNCE My Retirement to come AND Vote FOR Your FBI Director… “
The precedent has already been set with the 6,000 employees removed at the IRS.
Now do the FBI.
Kash Patel is the necessary leader to restore order and return to a one tier system of justice. No more two tiered system of justice. Big Picture, its either bring Kash and crew in or shut the whole thing down.
As Kash Patel said, there are 7,000 FBI employees working in DC. What the hell are all those employees doing in DC? Go out across the country and be cops. Go catch the bad guys. Go be cops.
Talk about a shovel ready job? Here’s where we will FINALLY see the results of “We caught them all.”
As Devin Nunes said way back when, “Some people better go to jail.”
That tells me they already know who the bad guys are.
Cspan 2 Just had Sheldon Whitehouse going on a tirade, quoting Bill Barr, John Bolton about how unqualified Cash Patel was. Now more lies from Richard DICK Blumenthal it’s all very entertaining. Check it out if you can. Hilarious stuff!
Cspan – LOST THEIR WAY on being ” JUST A CAMERA “
Whitehouse’s all white club will be pleased.
🔴LIVE: SENATE TO VOTE ON TRUMP’S FBI NOMINEE PATEL
So Collins is a no. WTH?!
Because she doesn’t want to be re-elected.
I watched a clip of Lollypop-Head Schiff yesterday; he looked like S.A.I.C. Mr. Smith from the Matrix, when his head was cracking open from high voltage sunlight.
Maybe a fellow Treeper can post a pic of that iconic scene as I am all thumbs when it comes to attachments in the treehouse comments section.
Pencil neck watermelon head. That’s what my favorite President calls him. He says Shifty-Schiff is a marvel of science that such a small neck can hold up such a large head. Size 7 neck.
That’s President Trump’s way of telling us all that Shifty-Schiff is as dirty as hell and President Trump knows it. I believe justice will be served.
Have the leftists totally lost the slightest bit of sense?
The lies never end.
It’s beyond laughable
The worst thing about their lying….their brainwashed followers believe every word that is spewed. My whole lib family always repeats the “talking points”. It’s amazing to see smart people get bamboozled by lies they hear!
It is amazing how the 100 Senators could be so powerful in our system of government yet we seem to have the biggest group of asshats. It’s really sad.
Then I see the group of successful business leaders President Trump has brought in to run his Admin and I think how great the Senate could actually be if it were populated with successful people. Such a lost opportunity.
As I’ve heard it said, no where else in the animal kingdom do they put the dumbest in charge.
And the confirmation vote on Patel has begun.
mcturtle – aye
Collins a NO, McConnell a Yea – vote is 42 Yea, 33 Nay.
vote update ?
would feel much more confident is JD was there just in case of a tie
McConnell voted aye. Collins no. Get.It.Done. LFG!!!!!!!!
McConnell was the key vote…Murkowski voted no.
Looks like 51-49 final vote in favor!
Vote so far is going quick as they all want to get out for their 3 and a half day weekend.
Vote stands at 42 Yea, 43 Nay.
Vote at 47 Yea, 47 Nay.
Is JD in the Building?
Not needed!
You can bet he’s close by (CPAC was in National Harbor, MD).
48-47 Cruz Aye.
Just got to 50.
The amount of paper-shuffling and sheer waiting around that goes on in these chambers when there’s a vote would drive me nuts.
