The 119th Congress headed by John Thune and Mike Johnson will go down as the (4th) least hours worked in American history
The most hours worked was when we had Newt Gingrich and Bob Dole during Clinton, when they had the contract with America
John Thune three days ago after being re-elected GOP Leader: “We’re gonna make the most of the time that we’ve got.”
The Senate today: Gone for the weekend until Monday at 3pm.
Unbelievable.
I know nothing really works or makes sense anymore, but you shouldn’t be able to swear in on a book which contains ideas that are antithetical to the constitution of the United States of America.
🚨 JUST IN: Rep. Tim Burchett just FIRED BACK at John Thune reportedly trying to BLOCK his appointment to the US Senate by Governor-elect Marsha Blackburn (TN), per @toddstarnes
"I LOVE the fact that he's not for me!"
🔥🔥
Burchett says a prominent media figure told him Thune "had sent the word out that he does not want me, because I would not do what leadership told me to do."
His response: "You know what? You're EXACTLY RIGHT."
"The big boys are not for me. The big, big players in the party, the one or two that pull a lot of the strings, that write the big checks, they're not for me. They've never been for me. They're always for me the day after the election."
Keep being FOR THE PEOPLE, @timburchett
Burchett has said he'll just run for the seat anyway if he's not appointed.
NOTE: This is NOT Blackburn giving indication as to who she'd appoint. It's ENTIRELY up to her — her Senate seat, and her governorship!
Hopefully she goes with Burchett, he's a good man 🙏🏻
🚨 BREAKING: John Thune is planning to send the Senate home for the week TODAY, after accomplishing practically NOTHING
Besides getting himself re-elected, of course
We still have WELL over 150 Trump nominees left to confirm in less than TWO MONTHS.
RIDICULOUS.
🚨 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!
Trump just TORCHED the Senate for refusing to get anything done while in the majority, especially the SAVE America Act and calls it “one of the greatest mistakes in the Political History of America”.
When people give you power, do something with it or you will lose their trust.
It has been widely reported that the left is planning a campaign of street protests in January along with a plan to declare the President’s admin illegitimate if they try to deal with foreign interference or anything else that compromised the midterms. This is part of a color revolution to overthrow the President & seize power. Acc to the people involved & their own documents, as published by @datarepublican & others, their chances of succeeding go down significantly in countries where they do not have the military in their side. Thanks to Sec of War, Pete Hegseth, the U.S. Military has not been captured by these people. Why would Massie want this country robbed of a critical line of defense? Why would you target the one person who is unwavering in this committment to serving, protecting & defending the American people & the Republic?
Muslim gang rapists still walk free but an anonymous feminist with a vague text from 20 years ago can put a right-winger in jail for 10 years. Justice is dead in the UK.
