Senate Majority Leader John Thune again reiterated there are not enough Senate votes to get the SAVE America Act to the status of a ‘talking filibuster.’ “The votes aren’t there for a talking filibuster,” Thune said Tuesday. “It’s just a reality.”

I’m sure if it ever DID pass, that it would be helped up in our communist court system until 3036.
Martial Law and military tribunals under the UCMJ will be required to purge our dysfunctional judicial system. Soon.
Looking forward to it …..
** wonderful admins **
edit needed in opening sentence (for awesome archiving)–
“Senate Majority Leader John Thune against reiterated…”
I believe it was meant to be “…again reiterated…”
Typo
Plausible deniability
.
7.) SPELLING AND PUNCTUATION –
This is not school and we do not demerit for poor spelling, nor do we allow anyone to call others out for the same.
that may be rules for commenters, and clearly I suggested the edit for the reason of historically accurate archiving.
The first word in your sentence should have been capitalized.
(In the interests of historically accurate archiving)
Bingo! lol.
Look at You Go!
“We can’t turn the lights on because then you’d see the cockroaches” is not a persuasive argument. These people are all loathsome reptiles.
Please don’t insult reptiles. 🐍 🦎
I know some very helpful reptiles. They know their job and take care of invasive critters on the swamp. Nutria rat anyone?
So call it to a vote and let us all know who is against it! He is only protecting the uni-party.
His job is to protect the Uniparty.
PDJT needs to go NUCLEAR on these ass clowns. He should tell MAGA to harass these Rinos 24/7 who won’t vote for this. Sometimes you have to act like the Liberal Loons to get things done.
Agreed. Storm the gates.
Ditto!
Maybe we should give them the treatment Maxine Waters recommended in 2018 for members of the administration and MAGA supporters in general: “If you see anybody from [fill in the blank] in a restaurant, in a department store, at a gasoline station, you get out and you create a crowd, and you push back on them, and you tell them they’re not welcome anymore, anywhere.”
It’s the least these disingenuous and corrupt SOBs deserve.
Ditto!
mid terms reality
To harass implies an organization. An organization not funded gets slapped around a lot. Conservatives “should” organize but they never will. They take their freedoms and liberties for granted, just like they taught us in public school Civics! Indoctrination really does work, as proven by us!
Absolutely!!!!
I am writing and telephoning frequently….half concerned….😶
We need to be told?
When you hate people as a political body, this is what you create. Thune is the exactly perfect replacement for the Ancient Turtle. They were born of the same rotten seed of Satan. They hate people; they love money and power.
I wish them all a quick departure.
He was McCONnell’s understudy, after all.
Aha!
Yes he was I hoped Senator Rick Scott of Florida would be chosen
We the people have no representation at any level. Take a look at what’s happening at the local level. Towns/counties where 75% or even 90% of the residents say no to data centers are having them shoved down their throats.
We have states and have had states for decades where 30, 40, even 50 percent of the electorate has no representation in their state government. See CO, VA, IL, NY, MN, WA, OR.
Then we have massive vote fraud with illegals, ballot harvesting, finding votes after elections, unsecured ballot boxes, voting machines with internet access, etc.
Empires fall, Republics fail… Why would we be any different?
“…Why would we be any different?”
The answer should be simply: “Because we are The United States of America!”
Are you surrendering already?
It is not surrender to recognize the historical truth that nations do fall.
Recognizing the truth can help us to prepare for it, and eventually achieve the outcome that we desire.
Fail to plan, plan to fail.
What you say is the truth of the matter. We have and have had an Establishment UniParty for decades. It’s just become more obvious since Trump came on the scene.
This is exactly why the MAGA movement was created and President Trump was elected the first time. Conservative voters were disgusted with the so-called Republicans and wanted change.
About the only change we are getting that aligns with America First/MAGA objectives is because of the strength of President Trump using Executive Orders.
So, I guess we will see what happens in the mid term elections. If we lose Congress I’m afraid our Constitutional Republic is toast. Our only hope is it maintain control if the House and Senate by electing the Establishment UniParty Scum to give President Trump some additional time to help rid ourselves of more Establishment politicians.
I was a RUSH devotee for 30 yrs. But even though we SEE the corruption, nothing can be done when blatant vote stealing is allowed.
We lost Congress long ago to the Uniparty.
The labels of Republican and Democrat are just camouflage to fool the public into believing there is a difference, and therefore a choice.
Seems likely now. Common sense has been abandoned and the internet nonsense takes over.
Data centers are multiplying like rabbits around me, east central Missouri. No way to stop them, they seem to have been in the works for at least a couple of years. Small town politicos get big eyes at some promises.
Small town politicos are “reachable” just sayin…
State/local politicos fighting like hell against ICE detention centers muh… “strain on local infrastructure” but welcome data centers… which would put a strain on local infrastructure (primarily electricity and water). Interesting.
That’s code for 2 things. #1 “We plan to take a knee on the midterms because we hate you & we hate PDJT.”
#2 If we called a vote under a talking filibuster, we’d have to go on the record & you, (the people we hate), would find out which ones of us hate you.
Its not hate it’s greed. Hate implies some conscious process, greed overwhelms their every thought
It’s both for many.
Nailed it.
Why would the Deep State UniParty ever give up power? When they want certain elections thrown a certain way, they allow the Democrats to cheat and steal seats. That becomes infinitely more difficult with this Save America Act. It is that simple.
Eliminating the filibuster would expose many RINO Senators and “out” them on conservative legislation that comes up, which the UniParty is entirely unwilling to allow. The Republican Senate faction would become incredibly conservative within 3-4 election cycles. Mitch, Thune, and the other RINOs are paid to keep that from happening.
I think in the long run Democrats would shift how they cheat anyway and come up with workarounds for voter ID.
Probably. Cheats never give up their need to cheat! Only TOUGH minded people like Trump stop them.
Here’s the list of who won’t vote for Save Act.
https://www.thegatewaypundit.com/2026/03/heres-list-mark-meadows-reveals-which-senators-back/
The R governors and state AG’s need to be RELENTLESS in getting their hold-outs to vote as their constituents desire!!! Shame them non-stop!!!
I knew bill cassidy from Louisiana would be on list. Evil pos. He sends out flyers every week with President Trump front and center on flyer like they are best friends.
Cassidy is obvious RINO. Look at his votes.
UT curtis is a lying, corrupt sob, mutt romney 2.0…
Thune does not have a sincere bone in his body.
How does he not have the votes if the bill has 50 GOP co-sponsors?
Is he saying that some GOP Senator support the bill, but refuse to force the Dems into a true “talking filibuster” that would eventually lead to a vote?
Insanity.
Lol, it’s easy cover with their “constituents” when they know it will not get a floor vote.
Thune does not have the votes for cloture/to end debate.
President Trump charge ALL RINO & DEMOCRAT Senators with the violating the insurrection act, declare martial law and let the MILITARY JAGS prosecute them!
Nice!
Here’s an idea. Just do the vote on the filibuster, then do the Save Act and let’s see who’s willing to vote no on the record. He might be surprised. This foot dragging serves no purpose!
Ding, ding, 🛎️
You’re on to exactly what the republican’ts do not want us to know.
It serves his RINO purpose.
Obama also didn’t have the votes for Obamacare, but he twisted people’s arms and he got it! Thune is worthless!
🐂 💩
Vote Anyway, so we can take names. I want to see the list of RINOs who support election fraud.
Yes!
“Big Pockets” Thune … the same unimpeachable source who says the pressure to pass SAVE Act is all from paid influencers. He’s a crook.
Data Republican has a new thing on Thune and the influence racket pretty sad. It’s on X I’m not also article on twitchy.
Yeah, dumbass, we know you are lazy and want to revert to the 1973 order of the filibuster to shut it.
“The votes aren’t there” for most of those in Congress and the U.S. Senate which is why these scoundrels don’t want fair elections. They only win if they can cheat via rigged elections.
Republicans are a bunch of cheating SOB’s too !
If the people truly decide with fair voting, they will permanently kick these criminals out of Washington DC.
I guess it’s my advanced age but all these images of Congress and Judges seem to be of Iranian Mullahs, Ayatollahs and outright Dictators that are the Washington DC Big Shots!
I wouldn’t be surprised to see an executive order coming on this demand. You don’t do it, then I will! At least that is my hope.
President Trump is so far ahead, this time….
We too believe he’s got a plan. He’s making it public first, so all can see who’s against USA.
Repeal the 17th Amendment and make these pukes accountable to their states.
Maybe they’ll even live in them again, unlike Dick Lugar.
DataRepublican busted John Thune:

if we cant fund them why does anyone at TSA still have a job? Air travel is messed up. Send TSA home permanently.
I under stand the need for this legislation and it will surely do some good but there are so many fake voter residents using the same address. That seems to be the real problem or have I missed something? I thought people were supposed to register under the address the reside at.
Those aren’t real people who will show up with ID
and a certain % of the 13% dont “reside”, they “stay”. But I know where their birth certs are — my son used to do asset recovery (repossession of autos) and 9 times out of 10 there were multiple birth certs in the car, as well as multiple Bibles.
The votes weren’t there to stop Homeland from shooting President Trump in the ear, either.
Or to stop Barack Obiden’s Border Invasion.
Or stop sending $Billions to the Taliban, Hamas and Iran.
Or to shut down Child Trafficking.
Or Child Sexual Mutilation.
Or to have Honest Elections now.
Senator Thune, how come the Rothschilds and Rockefellers get every last item on their Perverted Pedophile Wish List but we can’t have Honest Elections?
This is precisely why I despise the RINO Demoncrap Minion Party.
A large majority of democrat voters want Voter ID to become law. Neither the Rs nor the Ds want to be exposed as the traitors they are before the midterms. The uniparty is going to protect the uniparty.
We will see how this plays out.
If President Trump were a real dictator, like his critics claim, he would not have had a problem with these people but had them eliminated. Similarly with the judges he would have booted many of them. This is how dictators work.
Americans want it. Americans of all parties want it.
But somehow politicians can’t be found to do what America wants.
Proof that they don’t serve the people.
Considering sending a telegram to Thune.
Worth the $30.00 plus dollars to tell him to do his job.
Think the underlings would still intercept a person to person telegram?
Just call and call every hour 1 (202) 224-2321
Done
done, also uniparty pukes collins, curtis, tillis, murky, turtle, barasso, caputo, cotton
Corrupt government at work. Why you ask? K street. Same donors. Same agenda. Same benefactors. Follow the money. Help us?
Let ‘s repeal the 17th amendment;’that will take care of this crap.
The Senate has had its issues for over a century. Certainly going off the rails with the passing of the 17th Amendment.
Repeal the 17th!
Liar.. the constituents are there and that is the part that counts .. give us names
Turns out that @LeaderJohnThune
was totally projecting when he said the SAVE Act was an influencer campaign.
Senator John Thune is compromised by a company that literally exists to sell access to himself.
Pass it on.
Hello, Mr. Desiderio,
Punchbowl News sells access to Capitol Hill for corporate clients. Their senior Senate reporter is you, Andrew Desiderio.
Here’s how the access works: Punchbowl has a weekly show called “Fly Out Day,” taped at the Punchbowl News Townhouse and described on their own site as an “exclusive first look” for Premium subscribers. Those Premium subscribers are the K Street corporate government affairs staff and trade association officials whose legislative interests depend on what Senate leadership decides to schedule… or kill.
The second-ever guest was Senate Majority Leader John Thune, on September 11, 2025. This is documented in your own webste.
Now let’s go over your post carefully.
You say Mike Lee “primed the GOP base to believe” something. That’s manipulative framing, the language of a man working a crowd. But Thune “pointed out” something. That’s the language of a man correcting the record, establishing fact.
This is not a one-off phrasing choice on your part.
Your Punchbowl coverage consistently frames Thune’s positions as institutional reality and conservative alternatives as base management. Thune “declared” that the talking filibuster is dead. Lee and his allies “captivated Trump’s base.” Thune “had enough.” The SAVE Act push is “a self-inflicted wound.” These are not neutral verbs. They are a point of view… and it’s Thune’s point of view, delivered with a byline.
There’s a structural reason this happens.
Jake Sherman described Punchbowl’s business model in his own words on The Rebooting podcast (January 2022): nearly 90% of the outlet’s revenue comes from corporate sponsorships… “trade groups and companies looking to get their public affairs messaging in front of those making public policy.” The sponsors documented at Punchbowl include PhRMA, ExxonMobil, Chevron, Facebook, JPMorgan, Blackstone, the American Investment Council (private equity lobby), and others.
These sponsors need the goodwill of the Senate Majority Leader, who controls which of their legislative priorities come to the floor. Thune controls the floor. Thune sits in Punchbowl’s townhouse. You reports Thune’s framing as conventional wisdom.
When Desiderio writes that the talking filibuster “will ultimately fail” … not might fail, not Thune argues it will fail, but when it ultimately fails … is that journalism? Or is it the view from Thune’s Fly Out Day chair?
You are busted, Mr. Desiderio.
So elections are being stolen and our representatives will do nothing.
The vast majority of the representatives know the elections are being stolen, and they think that only some of us know the truth. Some (mostly democrats, 35% or so of the populace) will never admit elections are stolen because they have TDS, willful blindness or ignorance. Even so, the SAVE act has 83% approval.
What are we to do? We have a tyrannical government that is failing to represent us. Instead, they are serving their own interests, no budget, no accountability, kickbacks, perks and more perks. Omar, Green and others, eight figure millionaires in a couple of years, likely taxpayer money. Mine. What are our options?
We don’t have a party.
They fight everything we voted for.
I’m asking a sincere question.
What do we do next?
How can we move forward with no one in Congress supporting us?
Maybe Sundance should start a password post so we can throw out possible,realistic ways to move forward.
I don’t want to just feel discouraged, let’s just acknowledge the reality and find solutions.
Treepers are smart and savvy.
Let’s work the problem…
From what I understand, the House has passed the SAVE America Act and all the Senate needs to do is pass it with 51 votes.
What they want to do is create a brand new Senate Act which would need 60 votes to pass (which it wouldn’t).
They all need to go on record for
– talking filibuster
And
– Save America act .
If you don’t want to find the votes, you probably won’t find them. OTOH, at a 80-20% split, its gonna be really, really hard to ignore what the public wants especially if Trump is onboard. And he has already publicly tested the persuasion on this one. The longer Thune hold out on this, the more screwed he is. Happily, he knows it. Cheers –
Thune needs to name the holdouts
Then the senate might as well recess for the year, because you have no more activity to do. But they can’t, because they refuse to recess, to prevent Trump from being able to appoint his team.
They already know where this is headed. We just don’t get to know anything until they have met their solution objective.
Sooo much going on right under our noses, in daylight and at night time.
You are spot on.
Well then I guess President Trump will produce an E.O. and Thune can well….nevermind it’s Lent.
why not get R”s on record yea/nay/neigh ; which piehole is Thune talking out of – pre or post
just ask with mic in their faces – not on senate floor
So very frustrating.
I read Thune is requesting (expecting) PDJT’s endorsement. I also read PDJT said he’s boycotting signing any legislation until the Senate passes SAVE.
I recommend PDJT expand his boycott for any Senator asking for his endorsement until they pass SAVE.
Then the votes aren’t there for the RINO party…..
See how that works?
RINOs are the true enemy of the people…..
NO MERCY!
I called. You?
Let’s all give’em he’ll Marine!
And they are clearly showing that they ARE the true enemy of the people!
