@laralogan Actually, there are now five Trump officials having to live on Military bases due to threats from Iran. These four plus US AG Todd Blanche. Kristi Noem was also living in military housing but had to vacate after she lost her position as head of DHS.
Senate GOP Conference Rule 1 says elections are to take place "at the beginning of each Congress, or within one week thereafter." Thune should announce they'll rehold elections in compliance with the rules this time (and announce honorably, like Johnson, he's not running).
🚨 BREAKING: Sen. John Kennedy (R-LA) walks out onto the Senate floor and declares he is prepared to stay in DC every day, Christmas Day, Christmas Eve, Thanksgiving, to PASS NOMINEES and pass a RECONCILIATION package that only needs 50+1 votes
"I don't concede. unlike some of my colleagues, that attempting reconciliation would be a waste of time!"
HE'S RIGHT.
Don't just do nominees but a MAJOR reconciliation package
BE BOLD, LEADER THUNE! You got nothing to lose now!
Has anyone tried to put together a good-faith accounting of the admin's corruption as compared to say Biden, Pelosi, or Clinton? Most of us acknowledge there's "something" there but I have no concept of the scope of the self-dealing and how it stacks up against "politics as usual" and I don't trust NPR or The Bulwark to be reasonable about it. When you press libs to articulate why they think Trump is so bad, given that the policies aren't too diff from '90s Demonrat, they always come back to "Oh he's enriching himself to the tune of billions, the crypto schemes, insider trading, etc." They act like he's Boss Tweed, but does this stuff actually amount to much?
This is a spot-on assessment of the difference between between corruption on the left and right; left-wing grift is far more egregious, but the right’s corruption is vulgar and harder to ignore.
