The Senate worked late through the night to confirm Todd Blanche as U.S. Attorney General. The battle was against Republicans, not Democrats.
Senator Bill Cassidy finally acquiesced and voted to confirm. The Senate voted 50-49 to approve Blanche, with Republican Senators Susan Collins and Lisa Murkowski joining with Democrats to vote no. Senator Mitch McConnell is still missing.
[SOURCE]
The Machiavellian game-playing must be draining after a while. I give Blanche credit for slogging through the process.
What are your thoughts on Blanche? Is he going to shine like Rubio and Bessent? Is your contact in Gabbard’s old office still relying on you to stay hot on the trail of the deep state actors?
Tulsi said she would give her orders to the gov agt sitting outside in the hall and they died there.
So, the AG has to be strong
Praying he is .

First Trump will take care of Israel. If there’s time left over he may take a look at the corruption problem in our government but don’t get your hopes up.
Oh look…. It’s one of Massie’s Midwits™️.
Midwits? You are being generous!
Give it up. You’re not influencing anyone here.
Another retarded post from the nitwit.
Wrong … laughably wrong
So THAT’s what keeps happening to the remote!
Bad hombre is at it again.
Israel is not the problem.
Wake up. The Islamists want the USA destroyed. And their partner in China does too.
Your ignorance is amazing. That you willingly expose it is even more amazing. Israel is your real ally and shares American values and you despise Israel. I wonder why.
He’ll be better than Blondi. Maybe by a lot.
I think he’s loyal to Trump. But he’s not a MAGA “movement” soldier by any stretch.
Will he even try to root out DOJ and FBI corruption? Doubt it.
“He’ll be better than Blondi.”
Admittedly, a low bar…
Among Trump’s cabinet, Rubio has fired the least Biden and Obama holdovers. Even Bill Pulte as Acting DNI, fired more people than Rubio.
From July 25, 2025:
“In a sweeping move that has shocked the federal workforce and disrupted vital diplomatic operations, the Trump administration carried out mass layoffs at the State Department last Friday – targeting more than 1,300 employees across critical functions, from intelligence and energy policy to visa fraud and regional diplomacy.
The layoffs are the first major wave of reductions in force (RIFs) since the Supreme Court lifted an injunction blocking the administration’s reorganization plan. The affected employees – 1,107 civil servants and 246 Foreign Service Officers – were placed on administrative leave, many without advance notice to their supervisors or clear instructions about next steps, as reported by CBS News.
According to the Associated Press, staff in offices overseeing China policy, visa fraud, intelligence, and foreign aid were among those dismissed. Some employees reportedly learned of their termination mid-assignment while working overseas. ” https://www.afge.org/article/state-department-rifs-spark-chaos-confusion-and-outrage/
May 5, 2026
“The department’s fiscal 2027 budget justification shows that it plans to keep shrinking its workforce. According to the budget document, the State Department plans to have about 11,000 Foreign Service employees and 6,000 civil service employees next year.
Before the Trump administration, the State Department had more than 14,000 Foreign Service employees and nearly 13,000 civil service employees.”

Secretary of War Hegseth has done a pretty good job firing and demoting Obama and Biden sycophants.
What was Cassidy’s price ?
There’s no reason for RePubicans/
RepubliCONS
to give/withhold their support other than what’s in it for them.
In Collin’s case, she needs some
anti-Trump votes to keep her Senate seat.
RepubliCANS CAN kick the CAN better than a child at the playground.
Vote them all out.

Come home for 5 weeks now and LISTEN.

Unfortunately children aren’t playing kick the can anymore.
Unless their parents (plural as in male and female) are hyper-vigilant about limiting time with devices, this great country will continue to decline.
Sorry about off topic your reference lit up my usual dormant memory!

From sun up to sun down. We didn’t sit around on our butts watching TV all day on a black and white Philco.
Right ..
Then it was do we have to come in???
Yes lol now.
GW and BE are both right about the majority of the Rino/Rip party but hopefully we will have some change these last two years. Getting rid of Cassidy, Cornyn, Tillis, and especially turtle McConnel , even if we just maintain the numbers we have will be like getting four more seats in the Senate.
My only worry if McConnel will try to run the Senate from his retirement/deathbed and sill collect the money he makes selling Rino Votes to the Majority Dimms to break a filibuster.
I believe this is why Tillis and Cassidy were SO Angry at Trump, is his blockading the monetizing the filibuster votes cost them to much of their Senate Income.
TARGET THUNE NEXT😈
It is said of former President James Buchanan, that his approach to national problems was characterized by passivity and appeasement rather than proactive leadership.
John Thune is the James Buchanan of the Mitch McConnells.
Supposedly the price was the J-6 fund being rescinded. It really doesn’t matter..Cassidy’s last words on his death bed (right after the pea soup is cleaned up and his head is removed from his anus) will be “I hate Trump.”
Cassidy’s TDS is right on up there with Rosie O’Donnell’s.
don’t have the slighting how of it but President Trump will get whatever help/money/support he can to those who were there for him on J6. He wanted Blanche but he’ll not give up on his commitment. Listen to him speak about it. Its not a give up by any means.
There needs to be a compensation fund for victims of Judicial negligence/criminality. All of these poor victims of criminals that judges keep releasing out into the public should not have to suffer financially from radical leftist judges hideous decisions. Everyday there is some poor usually White person that is sucker punched, beaten, knifed and murdered by repeat offenders that just get let go. There needs to be justice for the victims of monsters in black robes.
The monsters in black robes are the real racists!
And those who were abused and/or tortured in the DC prisons.
And a prosecution of that Senate “security guard” who murdered Ashli Babbitt.
There needs to be jail time for the corrupt judiciary, Long sentences.
Cassidy ? Will he have brown eyes when he pulls his head out? He cannot see clearly now.
If he has brown eyes it’s because he’s so full of crap up to his eye brows!
Yes!!
Tillis is right there with him!
That was my very first thought after reading the headline in a Western Journal news email, before coming to this CTH article.
I thought as I read – “Aw crap, what did the Administration have to give up to get that snake’s ‘Yea’ vote?” But I also trust President Trump to not compromise his strategic political plans for any of these backstabbing corrupt RINO grifters in that snake nest known as the Senate.
Rush Limbaugh called certain people “human debris” on his show. That’s what I think about when I think of Cornyn, Tillis, Murkowski. Collins, and Thune. Traitors all.
Miss Rush so much even Snerdly.
Let’s just use the word depris.
Would not call them anything nicer like human.

Don’t forget McConnel Cassidy, and Barrasso. They are about half of McConnells crew of Filibuster votes for sale.
There were about a dozen or so, and I think some have already been sent home. Who were the crew of Filibuster votes for sale, Sundance?
Capito, Barasso, THUNE. and McConnell were always the four who shared podiums. For the life of me I do not understand why WVa does not dump Capito.
The Moore family has a chokehold.
Yes, but it is always Murkowski and Collins – the useful idiots for the above mentioned human debris.
Hopefully Blanche doesn’t now put his “fire” for getting justice done now on “low heat.”
The fire needs to be on boiling point.
Yes, and suspect our representatives are threatened. If you are GO AFTER THEM .

” Republican Senators Susan Collins and Lisa Murkowski ” NOW THERE IS a Dissonant Statement on WHAT WE KNOW.
Those ( 2 ) and Numerous Other Office Holders should NOT EVEN put a ” R ” or a ” D ” after their Name.
JUST their Handlers / Lobbyists / sponsors
REPEAL THE 17th AMENDMENT !
DEPORT! DEPORT! DEPORT! DEPORT!
Military Tribunals
For the criminally loving Judges.
Will he disappoint like Bondi, Bongino, Noem, and others after fighting hard for them.
Susam Collins is democrat lite. Murkouski should be rock ribbed but Alaska peoples for the most part (although not all) still trust the Gov because even a screwing by the government is better than normal life for them.
As a sour dough 45 year resident of Alaska I could not find anybody who voted for the old hag. I remember when her daddy installed her we all were going to vote her out. Elections are RIGGED.
SOUR DOUGH Sour on Alaska ain’t got enough dough to get out. LOL
Alaskans get money from the state from oil revenues. Quid pro quo.
We can never get even a RINO elected in Maine. The population is just plum crazy.
Thats the luxury of living in a State that is over 90% White. You don’t have to live with the sequelae of your votes.
The problem with Maine is all the dumb Massholes who transplanted there to escape what they did to Taxachussetts. They never are able to figure out that it is because they are dimms and they still pull the same lever. They did the same thing to New Hampshire and would have done it to Vermont except New Yorkers beat them to it.
It’s not that there aren’t enough Republicans in Alaska to get rid of Lingering Lisa, but with the infamous ranked choice voting system that’s been saddled on that state, there are enough RINOs to pair with Democrats in the general election to give Lisa the edge, like in the Texas state house. Get rid of ranked choice voting and Lisa is out.
I have an image of Lisa, in the absence of ranked choice, feverishly whipping up her natural Dem constituents to change registrations and go to the polls:
“So look for…the Uni label…when you are buying a grifter or hag….” [Okay, I could not resist :)]
J
Then she will just do the “write in” scam like she did against Joe Miller.
She hangs on by her fingernails only because of Ranked Choice Voting
Murky needed rank choice voting to make it look good last time. I’m betting that neither Maine nor Alaska ever voted in those two tools… I’d wager they were installed.
And then those ratf@ckers adjourned and recessed pro forma so no appointments can be made– then they scurried off to spend 5 weeks paid vacation. And the preening peacock Thune can post his annual bathing suit picture backflipping off of his boat. All the protest was theater. They are despicable. You cannot hate them enough.
This guy gets it👆
In the dead of early morning while the rest of us were sleeping, all the Brave Sir Robins ran away….their dishonour, like rotting sewage, trailing behind them.
Yes. Betsy 🙂
Hope they are going downhill so it, rotting sewage, hits them hard and roll over them in a heap at the bottom 😉
They need a few town halls with their constituents while they’re on “break”, Becky.
They’ve forgotten who they’re beholden to for their positions.
Absolutely!
“In the frozen land of Nador, they were forced to eat Thune’s minstrels… and there was much rejoicing.” 🙂
Always count on Murkowski and Collins to vote against the republican nominee, yet support the democrat nominee’s.
Murkowski is an ugly disgrace, a democrat to the core.
She is definitely one homely heifer!
Notice they adjourned without passing the Save America Act.
And they are doing the pro forma BS where every 3 days one of them gavels in for a minute so that the Senate is never formally in recess–so PDJT cannot appoint anyone. Would love to know which traitor RINOS are on the schedule to do this.
what would happen if one of the scheduled gavellers refused to do it?
I am Sure there are plenty of Senate traitors summering in the rich suburbs of DC (after all, that is where they truly live) that are more than happy to buzz in from Potomac, Mclean or other parts of Georgetown Pike to do the deed.
Saw Thune live on TV saying they are going to use the save act in the midterms against the rats.
Are you kidding me. The Save Act has been on the table for months.
It could have been signed and used in the midterms.
Dumb Dumb crooked Thume and ocoharts
Where is MITCH????????????????
without the save act the cheating in the midterms will be off the charts and DSAcrats will take over legislative branch.
Is it possible that at home concerned Americans will educate them on who they represent.
Thune is the most hated POS in SD and yes voter fraud is Rampant here in Mayberry……or what’s left if it….so sad
Cause they want to lose the Senate to the Dems! Why else? PresidentTrump was taking away all their ways of making money off us poor saps.
Thune has been exactly what we thought he would be. As has been true for decades, we still have a RINO problem.
Also noticed–it should have been done 50 years ago.
Thune and the leadership are stupid, weak and lazy!!
Thune is an evil Son of a Mitch
Well played! Bonus points awarded.
Evil inside them gives them those qualities, but they are Evil.
AG Merrick Garland and Mar-A-Lago.
Donald Trump and Israel.
Yawn. Seek help please….elsewhere
Yawn….next asshole…..
This is the year we get rid of Collins, which will be a nice tradeoff in getting Mike Rogers in Michigan.
That’s like saying I prefer to eat shit on a sammich rather than in a bowl.
All 535 are corrupt, in some way.
Republican Decepticons figured out how to get back in, or remain in place, by allowing the
Crazies-n-Commies™️ to not only have oxygen, but be allowed to flourish where FBI could have ended the activities, but choose not.
The Battered Conservatives and The Perpetually Afraid will welcome them in.

ALL of the roads of late, lead to Langley.
And there are still, Trillions At Stake.
PT should start a road construction project at Langley.
Tear up the roads real quick and the have an Obamboozler/Sponge Bob Shit Pants judge put the kibosh on the project.
Well, he was previously the president’s person attorney, so he’s familiar with “slogging through the process”.
bout time they did something right.
so nice of them to give the current president his nominees…and not fall on the ball trying to run out the clock.
Not all of his nominees. Tom Tillis sabotaged the ambassadorship for Kari Lake to Jamaica out of pure spite.
why did collins vote no? To get votes in Maine?
Exactly!
Because she’s corrupt.
There’s a lot of filthy lucre to be had when you join hands with the devil.
She’s just being consistent. She never votes with the party that elected her.
If anyone doubts that Senator Fetterman supports the Democrat Party, he voted “NO” on AG Blanche and “NO” on the Fauci contempt of Congress. Let there be NO doubt!
Fetterman is a leftist.
He has exactly 1 difference from his party….support of Aisrael.
That’s it. Anyone thinking this guy is a “moderate” is delusional.
Ty for posting that…
He shows up on TV acting like he is the good one.
Believe none of them.
Ya know it is like Sundance says Live your best life and enjoy it.

On the McConnell note, I believe September 8th is the day the vacancy can be filled by the normal November election and avoid special election interfering. So if they announce his death prior to, the. An election can be called to fill out this term.
I looked towards post-labor day for announcement of his rapid decline in health.
He’s “ghosting” the Senate without pulling a “John McCain”.
And if he is alive, why couldnt he vote on camera, “live”.
Kentucky is a mess when it comes to this topic. Between its constitution, recently enacted legislation and the 17th Amendment there is plenty of ambiguity that will find its way into various courtrooms should a vacancy exist. As of now, there is no vacancy as Mitch is rehabbing and vacationing in Kentucky. He hasn’t retired, nor has he expired.
Weekend at Mitch’s
That’s my thought as well. He drops Dead. If he hasn’t already.
I guess the long conversation with Ms. Lindsey doesn’t hold much weight as evidence these days.
cassidy is right, yes we will STILL CRITICIZE HIM FOR BEING DISLOYAL TO HIS CONSTITUENTS.
He should seriously think about moving from Louisiana to another state. California, Minnesota, Gay North Dakota (aka, Canada)…he will find reprobates aplenty. But coming back to Louisiana after all that he has done …well that would be a very bad choice. He’s gonna face a LOT of problems he created. No getting around that.
God Bless America
What was the tally for the DEI justice that doesn’t know what a woman is again?
53-47
Murkowski, Collins and Romney voted with the communist senators.
We should all be proud that we have “dedicated public servants” that are willing work tirelessly into the night for us. [sarc]
They probably had to stay up late to pack and get to the airport.
How long ’til Blanche buries the Fl. Grand Jury investigation? Rumors are that it was the price to get through the Senate.
Well, he’s in now. He owes nothing to the RINO swine in the Senate, and has no business honoring a promise made to people who 1.) Have no honor, and 2.) Will be gone in 4 months.
Screw ’em.
At least he didn’t cry like Justice Brett Kavanaugh.
Should we put The Turtle on a milk carton?
THAT, is funny!
For all the Fetterman fetishers, note he voted against this nomination
For all the Republican ostriches and naysayers, note that primaries matter to get MAGA candidates, and general elections matter to get the Cassadys over the Fettermans and get Republican leadership of the House & Senate.
Change is slow. Internalize that. Keep pushing for change especially at the primary level and always vote.
Play the long game.
Will Blanche be any better than his predecessors?
McConnell is missing?! That’s as bad as the game the dem’s played with RBG. Bullshit!
There are only 535 elected representatives, We The People need proper representation by representatives not only willing, but ABLE.
I suspect if McConnell were there he might have voted no which would have made it 50- 50 vote needing VP Vance as a tie breaker. Also, he might have influenced others to do so.
I am glad he is getting better. I hope he will enjoy his retirement. With 5 more weeks of Senate vacation his term in office will be very short.
Seen on another site:
OP: Bad news, this will cause a lot of innocent people to suffer for the crime of not liking Trump.
Reply: Huh? Why do you assume the DOJ under Trump and Blanche will target non-criminals? Oh wait, Merrick Garland did that under the Autopen Administration . . .
So MM is MIA.
At what point is he deemed KIA?
A 50-49 Senate vote for Blanche, while race-baiting, gun grabbing, J6 hoaxing Merrick Garland sailed through 70-30!
Maddening!
The RINOs need to stop fighting the electorate. They are embarrassing themselves and eventually will be ousted. This is a new GOP club and they aren’t in it.
Sessions, Barr, Bondi…4th times the charm? I sure hope so. I am so utterly shocked that after Barr and rosenstein screwed him term 1 that he would get it so wrong in term 2! Also he has fouled up the FBI too, leaving Comey in Jan-May (2017) then Wray, now Patel.
Blanche is just marginally better than Pam Bondi.
If he was MAGA and a threat to the Swamp he would never be confirmed.
And for all the Fetterman supporters: he voted NAY.
Fetterman had a severe stroke, is what I know about him. Or did he? Just before his stroke, there was “news” about him brandishing a gun against someone.
He wears a hoodie shirt and shorts while on the Senate floor and everyone yawns. And then he wears a suit and tie and stands up supporting President Trump during the State of the Union Address. Very erratic man he is.
I had a fly buzzing in the curtains late at night while I was reading in bed. I wasn’t about to get the handheld vacuum to suck it up. Next morning I had two bites on both my left and right elbows from, I can only surmise, a horsefly, which I’ve never had any reaction from.
I actually thought I had a stroke because I couldn’t write with my right hand. Don’t know why I just wrote all that.
Wow.
Murclownski and Collins should just admit they are democrats and be done with it. I’m sick o f these two pretend republicans.
I think the focus should be on indictments in Florida Fed Courts. Anything that take place in DC Fed Courts will be for show and not winnable. We are already almost 2 years in and nothing so far. I can’t say I am optimistic.
Collins and Murkowski joining the democrats……
Gee…who would have ever guessed that.
Can we please get rid of these RAT RHINO’S…..and that includes the frickin turtle!
Gee…..why stop there…let’s dump Thune and…………let’s just get rid of the RAT GOP!
