Republican senators John Cornyn and Thom Tillis are refusing to support Acting Attorney General Todd Blanche for full senate confirmation.
President Trump notes he will not accept the threats and blackmail from both outgoing senators and will renominate Todd Blanche if needed after the two senators are removed from office.
[Via Truth Social] – “Todd Blanche is a STAR, and everyone knows it! He has the potential to go down as one of the Greatest Attorney Generals of All Time. However, John Cornyn, of Texas, and Thom Tillis, of North Carolina, both of whom I refused to Endorse, and whose political careers have been ended by my action, are refusing to vote for this Great Nominee, who will remain, in any event, as Acting.
Remember, both Cornyn and Tillis voted for Merrick Garland, and others, too numerous to mention. I have no objection to temporarily withdrawing Todd’s name, if they do not do the right thing, and putting him back after Cornyn and Tillis are out of office.”
Why can’t we have nice things?…
“Why can’t we have nice things?…”
Because of the RINO’s, son. Because of the lying-to-get in-office, money-grubbing-while-in-office , back stabbing, childish, self-serving RINO’s.
You forgot “demonic.”
Also assholes to the first degree.
A thought exercise:
Many states have obviously terrible politicians which we all would do better for them to be out of office and influence.
I wonder, which state has the best representation in both houses of Congress.
I reckon the answer should be quick to come and obvious. I fear it is not that easy.
perhaps fl, tn, ia, wy, mt, mo, ks…?
IMO Tennessee
You spelled c*** suckers wrong, although you spelled it out much more civilized than I did.
Sock tuckers… coal sackers…
Because Uniparty.
Notice that anybody who is a threat to the Uniparty is never described as too far left or too far right. Because the Uniparty loves when people squabble over left vs right…..when the real issue is fake vs real.
The fake vs real narrative terrifies the Uniparty.
Instead they’re always described as crazy, and/or corrupt, plus dangerous, unfit, and unqualified.
You’ll be very happy to know that John Cornyn and Thom Tillis voted to approve virtually every Obama and Biden 3rd World federal judge as well as attorney general nominee no matter how many red flags they had!
Why does Trump think he can trust these people?! Throwing Thune into that mix.
Who said he trusts them? They are just the people he has to work with in the Senate; people, including me, could deduce that he doesn’t trust them, which is why he didn’t endorse them.
But why get all crazy with that deduction?
do you really want to know?
what have you done today? Besides read the news and write in the comments.
What did you do yesterday? What are you doing tomorrow?
Not saying I’ve done anything. But the reason we don’t have nice things, is because “WE haven’t been involved. That’s just the truth.
Good ol corny
The rat shows his longtail
One little man holding up justice.
gag spit
That one man may obstruct the entire chamber says very much of the others who allow it to occur and to continue.
Senate Leadership allows it to continue.
Anyone retiring or kicked to the curb by their own constituents should be removed from their committees the next day.
Individuals should not be allowed to hijack the body but they are allowed. In fact they are encouraged to do so because they’ve become untouchable by accountability.
That’s exactly how I feel. How do they even have a say? You are GONE, Now Be GONE
Spiteful little boys.
You nailed it, Aggiegirl.
Thune is useless too
Thune is actually a lot worse than useless!
Yup.
He’s complicit.
Another uniparty career politician who needs a shoe up his rump when he leaves.
Don’t waste the shoe.
Well, if we’re gonna put leather up one’s behind, we might as well consider a hemp neck tie.
“Thune is useless too”
Hogwash…….respectfully to you.
The democrats find him EXTREEEEEEMELY useful!
They need to be kicked out of the RNC.
They are exactly what the rnc is.
The rnc has fought against MAGA. Funded it’s opponent during the primaries and offered little to no finding during the general election.
I wish there were a mechanism for that to occur.
God bless
And Johnson. Where are the impeachments of Circuit Court Judges? Or, just re-write the sideboards for the judges. Congress, not the USSC, controls 100% of the judges.
There is no point to trying to impeach any judges. The needed vote of 67 to remove any judge will never happen. Waste of time.
Thune needs to go.
The process to remove Thune as leader is simple. It requires 5 GOP senators to call for the vote. 27 senators need to vote to remove him and he is gone. EVERY SINGLE SENATOR is responsible for each day passing and no call to vote on Thune.
Yet the president is still tiptoeing around on Thune.
They’ll support the Democrat nominees, but not the Republican nominees. Go figure. Unbelievable.
Democrats pay better…hahahah
Because the DEMS in the corrupt DC swamp offer them better perks and connections for themselves and their offspring…jobs, colleges, etc both in and OUT of office afterwards!
That “secret” sexual harassment fund recipients record never expires, but is often used to “coerce” those that needed it the most to obstruct PDJT4547 until after they leave office. All 3 of the Senators mentioned above have surely been covered by this fund in their earlier careers, especially Thune, who never had his zipper closed around young female staffers early in his career and was covered by Uncle Mitch and the rest of the RINOS for future obstructions, now being seen by everyone. Why term limits and mandatory age limits need to be passed.
I wish we could submit a FOIA request for the TAXPAYER PAID slush fund.
I can’t despise them enough.
They’re obviously outing themselves.
Thats because they are Democrats (RINO’S)
Nice to have our President call them out.
Next on the agenda, republicans, revive the Too Big to Rig movement and turn out voters who normally are lazy and don’t turn out for mid-terms.
We simply must have a conservative House and Senate!
Tough to motivate voters after giving them all 3 branches twice and they can’t even repeal obamacare. The base loves Trump but is getting sick of most other elected “republicans”. Im not arguing with you, you’re right, but for me it’s a spite vote. You want to lose? Oh yeah? Well take that! You’re reelected you rat f*.
Massie and Cornyn and others won’t be around, so that can be seen as a measure of progress. Of course, most of the voters aren’t on CTH, so this may not be enough to give much in the way of hope to them…
Massie is every bit as narcissistic as Fauci.
r-d=two sides of the same globalist coin….islam and the ccp will finish off the usa with their allies in congress and the courts after they steal the next election without divine intervention….
Never been a truer statement!
I’m not ready to accept that. I will never be ready to accept that. I have to believe that there’s enough true patriots in this country that would fight like it’s 1776 before they/we would allow a bunch of criminal commies and muzzies to take over our country and God would be on our side guiding us and leading us through it all. God Bless America!
China and Islam are just tools employed by the Western ruling class to help decimate the West.
The enemy is completely and totally within.
Imagine letting these useless, cross dressing demoncraps motivate you to staying home & leaving the best President of your lifetime to be eaten alive by a demonic HoR & Senate.
I want a MAGA Congress not a CONservative Congress.
“Conservative ” House & Senate= endless wars + no MAGA agenda …you should no better Keystonekon…America First House & Senate.. do we ever get it…???
Will they block him next year, and if the dems take congress, it’s a no go
The Democrats are not going to take the Senate.
Do not bet against the stupid party.
Well that’s great, but where do you think the spending bills and budget come from? The House. You need both to get things done.
There is a good possibility they will if they are allowed to cheat and we know they will try! They always do. DemonRats lie, cheat and steal, just like mooslimes!
It’s validation that they were rejected by their constituents for good reason.
Cornyn and Tillis are showing their true colors and they aren’t Red White and Blue.
Exactly. Hell hath no fury like a RINO scorned.
That’s still not as bad as a woman scorned ………just saying!
Their colors are green!
Many US senators need a reality check
All of them not many!
Never happen. Most need to be forced out.
Speaking of forced out…
Where is Mitch hiding?
At his home in Beijing.
Funny that the KY gov, a democrat, is trying to get McConnell to come out of hiding.
Fang Fang is checking in on him from time to time.
he is not hiding, unless you call cold storage hiding.. He’s dead, Jim!
In the morgue. Unless the power goes out at the morgue he’ll be there until January.
They aren’t up for reelection, so the pretending mask can come off. These guys are now showing their constituents who they have always been.
Many senators take any check they can get from any donor they can find!
(I’d really like to not be this cynical……but it’s for good reason. And that makes it even WORSE.)
Parasites, leeches, blood suckers, feeding off of anyone they can, anytime they can! I realize they need money to get elected but once elected their number one obligation is to their constituents, representing their interests. Lobbyists should be banned from making contact with our congressional representatives. Strict fines should be imposed on the bribing lobbyist and the representative, including jail time.
If the useless Senate would have passed the Save America Act, and confirmed the nominees, there was a very good chance Ken Paxton would have stepped aside, and let Cornyn have another term.
I wrote multiple messages to Cornyn and Thune asking for that, but neither of these RINOs ever responded.
Cornyn is a POS. I proudly voted for Paxton, and will glad to see Cornyn go.
Of course Thune is offering no support for Paxton in Texas.
SPIT!!!!
Like most Texans, when Paxton floated that possibility, I knew Cornyn would not follow through on the promise.
We know our ex-Senator far too well.
If the useless senate have voted to repeal the Ava, the country wouldn’t be whining about the ridiculous high cost of insurance for medical care! They are feckless and self serving… beyond the pale!
I will be rooting for Paxton against that freakzoid Talarico. I am also keeping an eye on that Mooslime invasion deep in the heart of Texas. When are local officials, including the governor, gonna clamp down on that problem?
Those invaders have been in TX about the last 12 years or so. And guess who helped them; Cornyn & Abbott. Cornyn was bragging about them being here not that long ago. Oh, and the Bushes helped too of course.
Don’t trip over those those lower lips on your way out the door, boys…
And be sure to take your pacifiers with you.
“Death is not eternal…dishonour is.”
~Rick Remender
Cornyn and Tillis are both clothed in it. They dressed themselves, no one else.
Losers who will be forgotten by history, January 6 2027
Or…depending how their fit of egotistical pique affects America (as with McCain’s “thumbs down” vote on O’Care which has devastated millions)…condemns them.
The historical dustbin of irrelevance awaits. They will have plenty of company.
Blast from the near past…
Jeff Flake? remember him?
Repeal the 17th Amendment.
If we did, would existing government structure voluntarily change? Or are we past the point of no return without using force?
No & teetering on the edge.
To paraphrase Milton, the RINO’s would rather serve in hell than reign in Heaven.
How much longer can Blanche serve as Acting AG?
210 days total…
I believe he was named in early April.
Can Trump reappoint him after the 210 days have lapsed?
Can the Pres keep appointing people until the Senators leave in Jan? How many temps are allowed to serve before a permanent nomination is given.
Note:
Some legal experts have said if nomination is not brought up for a vote, leaving it pending,
Blanche would be allowed to lead the department without a deadline.
Hmmm. I would have thought his parents named him much sooner!
(i kid)… 😉
So….7 months.
April……November.
I think that there is some sort of provision that if the person Acting is nominated, but the Senate refuses to proceed with the process….that an Acting term can be extended.
But I just don’t have the specifics on that 🙂
WITH DEFERENCE TO WORDMAN:
To be most specific, Blanche can remain as Acting AG until October 29, 2026. He can be renominated for an additional 210 days if the President removes his name from consideration, and be appointed again as Acting AG for another 210 days. RINO traitors Cornyn and Tillis will out of office at noon on January 3, 2027.
He won’t be going anywhere… he is the Deputy AG already so will continue to be the Acting. All Cornyn and Tillis are doing is proving WHY they needed to go.
And, btw, Blanche was in the audience yesterday during the Fauci hrng.
And the silence of the rest of the GOP Senators proves why they all have to go.
WITH DEFERENCE TO WORDMAN:
<And the silence of the rest of the GOP Senators proves why they all have to go>
They have become silence of the lambs and have to go chop chop!
The children are having temper tantrums, let them pack up their toys and go home.
Remove two uniparty politicians, this is a start and many more to go.
“Diapers and politicians need to be changed often and for the same reason!”
I believe it was Ronald Reagan that said that.

As usual, Lara Logan is *compelling*
She, Laura, is exactly on the main point! People had better listen up to her 4 min+ facts….and REFLECT ON THE MESSAGE.
May God help us all…
“Merrick Garland, who weaponized the DOJ against Republicans and President Trump” that is the LEAST of Merrick Garland’s sins
Cornyn is making a humiliating exit. I’m embarrassed to think he’s my senator
Cornyn’s contempt for Texans has long been evident but he’s so arrogant and entrenched, he never thought he’d lose. With the six months he has left, he’ll prove his swamp cronies proud by doing little as possible to help the GOP and everything he can to impede Trump—America and Americans be damned.
The GOP is sitting on over $200+ million in campaign fund help yet Thune has zero support for the MAGA candidate John Paxton, one of the most solid, conservative MAGA Republicans in this year’s midterms because he defeated Rat dick Thune’s main circle jerk buddy. May they all go the same route come 2028 elections and be primaried out with their tails between their legs for the treasonous bastards they are for not supporting our historically best President ever.
Umm, 5 months left. Please, countdown clock is T minus 150 days. 😂😊
He and those like him have NO shame, honor, or virtues; they are narcissists.
When is the last time TX produced a decent human being for Congress? Never. Sundance just called Cruz a liar on his X feed.
The Texans did not want Cornyn and are thrilled that this RINO is gone.
Same goes for Cassidy here in Louisiana.
Droit, mon ami!
The biggest enemy of We The People of the United States is not the DemonCrats, or China, or Russia, or Muslims, or the Globalists.
Our biggest enemy is the RepubliCon wing of the UniParty. They seek our destruction more than any other entity in the world.
YES!
Sounds like we might need a wrecking ball interim that scares these douchebags. A Bill Pulte for DNI type.
Severe butthurt times 2. But we already knew they would do as much as possible to avenge themselves on PT and will continue doing so until their last day in January. Everything going to the Senate should take that into account.
Their acting like they just had their snuggy bears taken from them.
Or found sand mixed in their lube jars.
The shenanigans Thom Tillis helped manufacture for the DS-IC and spearheaded against Hegseth should have gotten him thrown out of government and arrested.
But that shows how ever single fabric of corruption we have.
These same Rinos gave Osama every single tool to destroy this country and they gladly did it and fight tooth and nail to stop PDJT from everything including trying to remove him X3
I believe MAGA needs to show the Republican Party “we” Can take em out just like the radicals took out the Democrat Party. The Rino’s been going down that path full On for quite sometime.
Senators should be asked to justify the filibuster. Why does the senate self-impose an extra constitutional supermajority threshold? Explain why you are smarter than the framers. If the filibuster is so good, why not apply it in the House? If the filibuster is so good, why are equivalent mechanisms in state legislatures so rare? Why shouldn’t it be the House that self-imposes a supermajority threshold?
Senators and congress should justify term limits on exec/ potus but not congress Or judicial. It was a leftist socialist loving sick man who besotted the hierarchy of constitutional republic.
Thune is a feckless sob. He can’t get anything accomplished for the president.
Don’t think he’s really trying…
100% correct, his big money donors rely heavily on cheap foreign illegal alien labor to retain killer profits… thune doesn’t give a toss abt constituents, american prosperity, the republic or supporting The President.
Does he even want to?
He does gets things accomplished for the president – the president of the CofC, that is.
Not for the President of the United States, however.
Petulant Morons performative fits!
These are the scum of the earth we vote in. TAKE NOTE AMERICA! Hold you representatives accountable. Running for offices should be a meat grinder of accountability and deep action summaries
Norm Eisen must have his fingerprints on this development.
Can PDJT put Matt Gaetz in there for a stint to perform as an Acting AG for however long?
As a Special Government Employee 180 days.
Thanks. I wonder which other candidates are qualified (and available) to irritate and drive the Senate for ~6 months?
So Cornyn’s and Tillis’ opposition to Blanche is not against Blanche, per se, but to use as a wild card for the legislative to dictate to the executive.
Cornyn wants make certain the $1,776 legal defense fund is dead.
Tillis wants the DOJ to consult the Epstein victims.
That is my understanding. Of course I may not have a complete understanding, even not knowing other aspects.
Yet off the top I think this is what low down goodfernothin sidewinding scurrilous varmints would do.
These two aren’t acting as Senators, they are using the senatorial powers as a club.
If the defense fund was not there, they would find/create another excuse.
to put this into perspective, tidley and cornpop both voted for AG merrick garland….
It seems that, without a doubt, some elections are rigged. How else could these Traitors be re-elected over and over. Eyes on you John Thune.
And many others.
I believe Graham cheated as well. I remember he was begging Trump for support because the polls showed him 20 points behind. Then, all of a sudden he won handily.
When has any 1 poll….much less “polls”….ever had Graham behind another candidate by 20 points????
I wouldn’t doubt it.
Of course they are, control is a reaction to fear as we so often read on CTH, I thank God this site exists, treepers r consistently ahead of the truth curve. Same behavior as mutt romney when he knew utahns wouldn’t allow him to b re-elected for a 2nd term. So The President makes an end run around these unAmerican tossers by keeping Blanche in as acting AG.
thune, barrasso, lankford, murky and all old guard rino corruptocrats must be next… wake up the Republic
Cornyn is the piece of crap that we got from Mitch, along with Thune, to protect Mitch’s legacy of crime, secrets and power manipulation. We could have had a solid conservative, but no, Mitch pulled his strings and this is what we got. It will take years to clean out the crap that Mitch gave us, and there will be a lot of frustration and pain along the way.
I moved my family from Raleigh and became a Texan by choice.
I no longer dip, but I’d like to use Cornyn and Tillis as spittoons.
👊✝️👊❤️🫵
I have been politically aware at least since JFK’s “inside job” assassination.
The caliber of any elected official in any party is at an extreme low, in my opinion.
I thank God that we have the right man as our CIC.
I live in Texas. Four years ago I wrote Cornyn an email saying I’d vote him out in a primary.
Then, I did.
These two carry water for their buds: Collins, Murky, and all the other Senate NeverTrumper’s, sparing them from having to cast difficult votes that will anger, half of each Senator’s homestate electorate. Just a bunch of incestuous guinea pigs.
And these two egomaniacs wonder why they were voted out. Guess you really can’t fix stupid.
I worry about Jay Clayton. Why was he approved so easily?
That is the question I am asking myself, BigTish LeticiaJames endorses him and even zombie McConnel took time to make a congratulatory statement. Trump is being played, like the new FedChair that refuses to lower interest rates. It is a very long game.., politics, where peoplehave short memories. Too bad Gabbard had to leave, because the sanitation Pulte did will be undone slowly and invisibly while Trump is being led to look away. Clayton’s pale pasty face tells me all, he is a SDNY scumbucket. DiSGUSTiNG!
just another useless tosser, rino / uniparty supporter, his nomination would seem to b a quid pro quo between old guard and The President
We know why.
Has Clayton been sworn in yet?
I haven’t seen anything……
It’s because you and everyone else has been led to believe that Republicans are the party of duty and honor to our founding principles and serving the interest of we the people. The fact of the matter a lot of the GOP elected representatives don’t give a crap about our founding, our nation, it’s citizens and a humbleness to know when your time of service has ended and quietly accept the will of the people and ride into the sunset with a fat pension. Nope they are vindictive, selfish and only in DC to pad there wallets and the wallets of their families and those big donors that fund them.
shush
Tillis and Cornyn will do anything to keep the J6 narrative alive. A lawful fund to make whole the victims of unlawful government targeting will see that narrative go the way of the COVID narrative. Their advocacy of J6 is why they lost. Everything else is noise.
Mark,
Good points.
Tillis and Cornyn: globalist / communist losers.
President Trump called their threat. Good for him!
MAGA / America First isn’t just our motto, it is our duty!
IMO Blanche is just ok (not a MAGA America First Flamethrower) so these two super RINOS-Communist Dems are doing this because they hate President Trump and MAGA America First.
Small penis syndrome. These are two beta males with small penises trying to act like tough guys. What a joke. They only seem to be tough when taking on MAGA and Trump. For the Democrats they can’t drop to their knees fast enough.
Those 2 RINOS have always been a problem. They NEVER had this country’s best interests at heart only their own greedy power hunger and money! Instead of coming out like heroes they are coming out as zeroes! 💁🏻♀️

I say let’s bring back duels. Let them fight on the senate floor…women too.
JMO.
Blame it on Thune’s leadership ….. or rather, lack of leadership.
For sure, Senate Leader Thune isn’t a “Senate Leader Joseph T. Robinson.”
Who is Leader Joseph T. Robinson you ask. He was the leader in Franklin Roosevelt’s term as President.
Heck, Thune isn’t even close to matching Robinson’s hard work passing President Franklin Roosevelt’s legislative agenda.
Leader Joseph T. Robinson loyally passed the new president’s legislative agenda because the people of the country had just elected Roosevelt and they deserved to have the House and Senate pass his legislative agenda.
Robinson passed FDR’s agenda bills so quickly that Will Rogers joked “Congress doesn’t pass legislation any more, they just wave at the bills as they go by.”
He wouldn’t take “no” as an excuse from senators for not passing Roosevelt’s agenda items.
Thune, on the other hand, spends his time in front of the fake news, making up lame excuses for not passing President Trump’s agenda items.
That has to end, NOW.
Thune thinks it is 2018 and he is another “turtle Addison Mitchell McConnell III ” stonewalling President Trump to collect his payday from his globalist paymasters, ignoring the directions from the American electorate.
Sorry to break the news to Thune:
2026 ain’t 2018.
Either Thune passes President Trump’s legislative agenda including the SAVE AMERICA ACT NOW, and replaces his communist, democrat parliamentarian or he gets voted out, NOW.
People should harass Coryn 24/7/365 Everywhere he goes people should shame the hell out of him and his family.
This is not about Blanche: it is about Tillis and Cornyn wanting to deliberately hurt and damage Trump’s family and President Trump himself. It’s time for Kash to dig up dirt on these two jokers and make it public.
Two words to tillis and cornyn: GROW UP! Little boys in men’s bodies.
The democrats were irrelevant to Trump’s agenda in 2017-2018 as they are now in 2025-2026.
The republicans are the problem.
Yet, there are people on this site biotch-slapping people that won’t vote R across the board or won’t vote for JD.
