An amazing lesson in showing up and regarding the @ScottPresler dust up in SD and the “golden ticket”.
Back story - I told my wife I wanted to come to SD to in part, meet Scott, do what I could to help bring pressure regarding the Save America Act, and take the temperature of Republicans on the ground in SD to see what they thought of the majority leader. (Poll results coming soon in @trailertrshnews).
I luckily got to meet Scott and he is all class in person and just radiates energy.
We were discussing the situation and he expressed a desire to go to the social event/dinner after the SDGOP meetings were concluded for the day.
Scott didn’t have a ticket, but I did. BTW - I registered as independent press (for Trailer Trash News) - and nowhere did the registration indicate that press were not welcome.
I felt it was more important for Scott to be in the room than myself. No one knows me - but Scott’s very presence creates pressure.
So I gave him my ticket, and gladly. He called it “the golden ticket”, and as this dust up has shown - even though he didn’t get to attend - the political outcome has indeed been golden for anyone that cares about holding our elected leaders accountable.
Showing up is half the battle. When you show up a world of opportunities may present themselves that would not be available if you stayed home on the couch.
It’s an important lesson for anyone who thinks that they can’t make a difference.
Show up - and let the universe decide.
EXCLUSIVE
The South Dakota Republican Party voted AGAINST censuring Leader Thune.
Opponents of the censure said it only helps the democrats.
Not a single speaker mentioned the fact that turnout has been abysmal across the country
b/c the Senate won’t secure our elections.
By the way, many of the Haitians who were given TPS under Joe Biden did not come from Haiti. They were living in nations like Brazil and Chile and came here to take advantage of Biden's open border. They were sent, not to Martha's Vineyard or Sherman Oaks, but to blue collar, midwestern towns like Springfield, Ohio. And the people there were called racist for objecting to the culture of the town they built being fundamentally changed overnight.
WOW!
With our Dallas event on July 16th being weeks away,
90% of the seats are already filled!
I made a promise to return to Texas & I’m fulfilling my commitment.
We paid for the flights, hotels, food, and medical care for TEMPORARY Haitian immigrants. I get the incentive of offering them $2,600 to self-deport. It's cheaper than having ICE arrest and detain them. But why are AMERICAN TAXPAYERS paying for it? If anyone should be footing the bill, it’s the NGOs that FUNDED this crisis in the first place.
🚨Resolution to Censure Senate Majority Leader Thune🚨
👉While it was approved by the Resolutions Committee, it still needs to be voted on by the South Dakota Republican Party👈
“WHEREAS an overwhelming majority of citizens from not just South Dakota, but the entire United States of America, support the passage of the SAVE America Act;
WHEREAS US Senate Majority Leader John Thune continues his refusal to act in accordance with the will of American Citizens through his failure to lead
the passage of the SAVE America Act;
WHEREAS US Senate Majority Leader John Thune has wantonly and repeatedly acted as a roadblock to President Donald Trump and the American First
Agenda, squandering the opportunity presented by Republican control of the US House, US Senate, and the Presidency, where failure to pass the SAVE
America Act is the most glaring and inexcusable example;
THEREFORE, let it be resolved that the South Dakota Republican Party officially Censures South Dakota Senator and US Senate Majority Leader John
Randolph Thune until such time as the SAVE America Act is passed by the US Senate and officially signed into law by President Donald J. Trump.”
There is NOTHING racist about pointing out how Islam-loving people hate America and our values and cheat the system every chance they get. This is an anti-American invasion.
@SecMullinDHS@StupidBoomers@POTUS Why haven’t you made a statement about what happened to Scott Presler last night?
Why are you supporting John Thune?
Why you scaled BACK deportations?
BREAKING: President Trump has a message for Leader Thune and the Senate GOP who have decided to go on vacation until July 13th, without passing the SAVE America Act:
"Hard to believe that we even have to fight for this. We have to fight for everything. Nothing comes easy. NOTHING."
- "All voters must show photo ID."
- "All voters must provide proof of Citizenship."
What Trump said next is what's going to strike fear in the minds of members of the Senate who are preventing the bill from passing.
"Is that so hard? You're fighting the Democrats AND a few Republicans who are doing a TREMENDOUS disservice to this country."
BREAKING
EXCLUSIVE NEWS

I’ve been calling the White House to ask @realDonaldTrump to veto the housing bill until SAVE America Act is on his desk. ALL WHITE HOUSE PHONE LINES ARE BUSY! Finally was able to record a message at (202) 456-1414. MAGA is melting the WH phone lines! Post on your social media that @realDonaldTrump must veto housing bill until passage of SAVE America Act! @EIwatchdogs
We must get the message to the President!
