You want the child rapist and pedo protector to usurp more power? You’re just like him, a scum bag.

Thune is compromised. As is his predecessor, who is now open about it.

Thune is the reason we have the old saying, "With friends like these, who needs enemies?"

Not unlike the Trump 45 presidency, our TRUE enemies are shit Republicans. If not for Paul Effing Ryan, Trump 45 would have been so successful by the time covid rolled around, covid may have NOT rolled around. Democrats at lease are open about hating the American people. The TRUE back-stabbing bastards have ALWAYS been Republicans.

I'm beginning to believe that Thune intends to do nothing through the mid-terms in the hope that Trump will be impeached and removed.

Why is Thune doing this?

I don't trust Thune or Johnson. I said last year that Trump should have forced the Christmas break so he could start making appointments.

Good luck with Thune's butt-Buddy Johnson. Every picture of Thune includes his shadow Johnson in the background grinning like a Cheshire Cat. Wouldn't a gallows be a quicker solution?

He should do that anyway

Congress works as hard to avoid doing something productive as the rest of the federal government. This "recess" tactic is like the silent filibuster: the lazy bastards pretend to be doing something while not doing anything. I'm really tired of their shit.

Can we just admit that Thune is the acting head of the Republican resistance within the Senate against Trump. It’s plain as day.

He’s either compromised, compensated, or merely a dyed in the wool RINO, a’la the Bushie-McConnell Brigade or all of the above.

He and his cohort know they can obstruct Trump until he’s out of office, and that’s their entire MO.

Perfectly stated. The GOP loathes Trump. He shows what someone with a set of balls can do and they cannot permit that. Upsets the cash cart.

The Thune betrayal is much like the John Roberts betrayal, narcissistic personality is difficult to overcome. This is the solution we need to save the country. If Thune refuses to put this national security issue first, I hope President Trump uses this strategy. 🇺🇸

The Thune betrayal is more like the Ryan-McConnell betrayal. In fact, given ol' Cocaine Mitch is still hanging on, it's probably a good bet it's actually just the McConnell betrayal, The Empire Strikes Back edition.

I don't think Thune illegally adopted kids like Roberts did.

Has anyone done a deep dive on Thune? He seems to have an agenda and it’s not what his constituents want. There was a lot of speculation he’d be trouble when he became senate speaker and it’s proving true.

Mr. Muse is leaving out a critical piece of information: Why is Thune doing this??

Mary Ann Caton's avatar

Also my question.

L. E. Joiner's avatar

Exactly the point I intended to raise. Some say Thune, who was McConnell's understudy, is still doing his bidding. True? How many other Republicans (in name only?) agree with and support Thune blocking Trump appointments? And how many will support Thune if he refuses to kill the silent filibuster in order to pass the SAVE Act? Is there a chance MAGA Republicans can revolt and replace Thune? So many questions!

Because that's a whole other can of worms and would distract from the points being made regarding the issue at hand.
