The week Byron Donalds announced he was running for Governor I asked him to go troll libs protesting a Tesla dealership.
Remember that insanity?
Anyway, I never thought he’d say yes. Consultants never let candidates do these kind of things.
But day of the protest, Byron Donalds walked the line and engaged with these psychotic people with the kind of restraint and grace and composure that I would never have. He spoke to every single person and knocked down their dumb arguments — by the time we were done some of the libs were asking Byron for selfies.
I saw it right then that Byron was different and was gonna be Governor. Congratulations @ByronDonalds and @ErikaDonalds — see you on the campaign trail to preserve the greatest state in America.
And thank you @ForgiatoBlow47 for the dope cybertruck. Made the video!
🚨 AMERICA, WAKE THE HELL UP. 🚨
The United States Senate just looked every single one of you dead in the eye… and spat in your face.
We had ONE shot.
ONE golden, once-in-a-lifetime chance to start reconciliation, supercharge our military, and FORCE the SAVE America Act through so the left can NEVER steal another election.
And what did the Senate do?
They FOLDED.
They QUIT.
They threw it all away like America meant NOTHING.
While our enemies circle like vultures and our troops are left begging for strength… these cowards decided their little summer recess was more important than the survival of this country.
This isn’t politics.
This is SURRENDER.
This is betrayal.
This is the sound of the Republic being sold out in broad daylight.
History is watching.
It will remember the ones who stood up…
and the ones who RAN.
The American people are DONE with this gutless theater.
We deserve warriors, not vacationers.
RT if you’re sick of watching Republicans snatch defeat from the jaws of victory.
Comment “FIRE THEM” if you’re ready to make them pay in November.
This is the moment.
Don’t look away.
SAUDI ARABIA SAW THIS SHIT COMING 45 YEARS AGO.
The US Navy just ran the same play.
In 1984, the USS Stark got hit in the Persian Gulf and nearly sank.
In 1988, the USS Samuel B. Roberts hit an Iranian mine and almost went down.
The US spent 40 years studying exactly how Iran fights in the Strait — small boats, missiles, drone swarms, saturation attacks designed to overwhelm a single ship.
So when the USS Truxtun and USS Mason crossed Hormuz yesterday under a "sustained barrage" of Iranian small boats, missiles, and drones —
They weren't improvising.
They had AH-64 Apaches overhead.
F-16 fighters on station.
Over 100 aircraft total.
CENTCOM destroyed 6-7 Iranian boats before they got close.
Zero US vessels struck.
Both destroyers crossed.
Two commercial ships crossed with them.
Iran has been running the same attack playbook since 1987.
The US spent 40 years building the answer to it.
Yesterday, they ran the drill for real.
Bookmark this. Come back when the next transit happens.
Most people won't see this. RT to change that. 🔥
@DataRepublican Thune wasn’t satisfied with destroying the Republican Party so he decided to. Destroy the US Senate. I wish someone would do a poll on his job performance. I bet it would be less than 5 percent think he is capable of getting anything accomplished .
In case you were wondering what BETRAYAL looks like from a "Republican" - here you go.
Thune was busted heading off to vacation with a TSA escort... knowing that Americans are waiting hours and hours to get through security and the SAVE America Act was not passed.
Toss that guy out of his leadership roll. What a disgrace. When did he become a Democrat?
REPOST and call him out!

Why didn’t you object to the bill that passed in the Senate at 3 AM with only 5 Senators present. Did you know it was coming and were you in favor of passing it by unanimous consent?
We just completed a productive education and workforce roundtable in Knox County with local leaders and educators. It was great to talk about how we can build Tennessee’s future workforce.
Education professionals are also fired up about keeping men out of women’s sports!
How can 5 Senators pass a bill in the middle of the night with no recorded vote. I never want to hear that they must have 51 or 60 votes to get anything passed.
Leader Thune can pull a sneaky rule trick to pass what Democrats want by not funding ICE in the middle of the night with no role call vote, but he can’t do anything to pass the Save America Act a 85/15 issue?
@LeaderJohnThune MUST BE VOTED OUT AS LEADER!
#RemoveThune get it trending
Hello Senator Thune,
At 3 AM on Friday, March 27th, in a near-empty chamber, you passed a bill by voice vote that excludes all funding for ICE and CBP.
Let me repeat that: voice vote. No roll call. No record of who was there. No accountability. Just you, Barrasso, and a handful of senators shuffling paper in the dead of night while America slept.
You could have demanded a recorded vote. You chose not to.
You could have held the line for five more days until the House returned. You chose not to.
You could have used the same procedural tools Democrats have used against you for 40 days. You chose not to.
Instead, you gave Chuck Schumer exactly what he asked for, DHS funding minus immigration enforcement, and called it a win. Then you walked to the cameras and blamed the Democrats.
Let's be precise about what you did:
1. You caved to a demand Democrats made on Day 1 of this shutdown. Forty-one days of supposed hardball negotiation, and you settled for their opening offer.
2. You handed them a template. The next time Democrats want to defund any agency — ICE, CBP, or anything else — they now know: just shut down DHS and wait. John Thune will fold at 3 AM.
3. You punted to reconciliation. "Good possibility," you said. Not "we will." Not "guaranteed." Just maybe. Meanwhile, ICE operates on fumes from last year's bill with no certainty of future funding.
The precedent you set:
You have argued for months that the filibuster is sacrosanct. That the 60-vote threshold protects minority rights. That we cannot bend Senate rules for policy wins.
But at 3 AM on Friday, you bent every norm that actually mattered:
• Voice vote to avoid accountability
• Empty chamber to avoid debate
• Midnight deal to avoid scrutiny
• Immediate recess to avoid questions
You'll bend the rules to avoid a fight. You just won't bend them to win one.
What you've actually accomplished:
Democrats demanded ICE restrictions. They got ICE defunded.
Not reformed. Not restrained. Defunded.
And you're out here tweeting about how Democrats are the "Defund the Police" party while you just voted to defund border enforcement at 3 in the morning.
The question you should answer:
Why did this deal have to happen at 3 AM?
Why couldn't it happen at 3 PM, with cameras rolling and every senator on record?
You know why. Because you didn't want your voters to see what surrender looks like.
Here's my message: We saw it anyway.
Stop hiding behind "Democrat obstruction." You're the Majority Leader. You set the schedule. You control the floor. You chose this outcome.
Own it.
🚨BREAKING: The Senate just passed a bill that funds DHS but completely cuts out ICE. UNBELIEVABLE.
John Thune is a massive RINO sellout and a total traitor to the America First movement. He completely caved when we need border enforcement the most.
Now it goes to the House. House Republicans better step up, grow a spine, and KILL this disastrous bill! We are watching!
Senator John Thune is clearly running out the clock on Donald Trump and 85% of our country.
He wants his Democrat friends to be able to cheat in elections.
RINOs are in on the cheat.
Dump John Thune!
