Majority Leader John Thune's decision to adjourn the Senate for the weekend is a flat-out "f-you" to Republican voters. And his decision not to go into recess is a giant "f-you" to President Trump.
Do you realize that President Trump is the only Republican president in modern American history who has not been allowed to make recess appointments?
Richard Nixon: 41
Gerald Ford: 8
Ronald Reagan: 232
George H.W. Bush: 78
George W. Bush: 171
Donald Trump: 0
Thune and Senate Republican leadership are colluding with Democrats to stop President Trump's agenda. That's the only plausible reason for the Majority Leader's behavior. The man's integrity has now been called into question.
@FloppingAces Sir Yes Sir Marine! Great post. I’m a professional writer, and I couldn’t have written it better myself. Happy Birthday to the @USMC and you today!
They just voted.
It's Thune and Jordan.
They betrayed our trust for 2 years and then spit in our faces.
If you give a DIME to the @GOP, YOU ARE FEEDING THE BEAST.
The Senate finally returns after 39 days of vacation.
They report at 3 PM then leave Tuesday for another five days off.
The most worthless Senate ever has 700 House-passed bills on John Thune’s desk awaiting a vote.
John Thune is the worst majority leader ever.
A huge crowd laughed and applauded when Dave Chappelle said, "Ever since that guy Charlie Kirk got murdered, I feel better."
Could you imagine the outrage if a white comic had said that about MLK, Jr. or if a straight comic had said that about Harvey Milk?
What's really unsettling is that Chappelle was not cracking a joke. He was sharing a stream of conscious moment with his audience and they agreed with every word he said.
And now - Congress is controlled by the people who killed Charlie Kirk.
Dave Chappelle is done comedically after what he did Saturday night. He told a Madison Square Garden crowd that he’s happy Charlie Kirk was killed and that the feeling is involuntary. Attendees also report he said he doesn’t care about 9/11 and is sick of people saying “never forget.” None of what Chappelle said is funny. Shame on him.
The show was phone-free, so there’s no recording, but multiple people who were there have described the same remarks. Kirk was assassinated in September 2025 while speaking on a college campus.
Celebrating that murder from a stage, even framed as an involuntary reaction, crosses a basic line. So does dismissing the deadliest terrorist attack on American soil and the people who still mark it.
Chappelle has spent years positioning himself as a fearless truth-teller who punches in every direction. This isn’t that. It’s open contempt for a murdered political figure and for a national trauma that still shapes how millions of Americans see the world.
Sponsors and venues that keep booking him after this are choosing to underwrite it. Comedy has wide latitude. It doesn’t require the audience or the companies that pay the bills to pretend a man expressing joy at a political assassination is just doing bits. Drop him.
I’ve spent many years applauding and defending Chappelle. That ends immediately. He’s a disgrace to America and he’s not funny.
🚨 LIGHTNING BOLT JUST HIT THE WHITE HOUSE 🚨
I’ve heard it straight from a dozen White House staffers… and they are fired up.
Stephen Miller just became Chief of Staff. Susie Wiles is out. This isn’t a reshuffle — it’s a full-blown declaration of war on the DC swamp. ⚡🔥
Miller is the intellectual bedrock of MAGA. The man who built the immigration crackdown. The one who knows exactly how to use executive power when Congress is hostile. And after the midterms? Good staffers are now ready to run a guerrilla insurgency against the permanent bureaucracy. One of them told me this is Trump’s pure “F it” moment. 💥
No more playing nice. No more watering down the agenda. Full confrontation. Full speed. Full MAGA.
This is what a second-term Trump administration looks like when it stops caring about the establishment’s feelings. 🇺🇸
Who’s with it? Drop a 🔥 if you’re ready.
@PaulGoldEagle And I can tell you as a Californian, that number is a good start but very low. Over 5 million non-citizens were turned down for jury duty on the non-juror list I saw earlier this year...that would be a great reference for this state at least.
