John Thune has been elected Senate Republican leader to usher in Donald Trump's ambitious GOP majority in Congress after a private vote Wednesday morning.
Thune, 63, will replace outgoing Leader Mitch McConnell of Kentucky after the 82-year-old announced he would be stepping down from the leadership role.
He successfully fended off a left-field challenge from Sen. Rick Scott of Florida who had the backing of Trump's trusted advisor billionaire Elon Musk and other MAGA faithful.
Yeah I just saw that, SMH... He better have his ass in gear and ready to support our president or have his bags packed because we ain't playing around with his bullshit...

just because Republicans have a majority in the senate, it does not mean Trump has a majority. Here we go again.
ReplyDeleteI don't like Thune, but it is what it is.
ReplyDeleteThune's going to be a fair-weather friend like mitch the bitch. As long as Trump's agenda aligns with his own, but he'll be looking out for his big party donors first and foremost.

Jonah Goldberg must be spinning in his fat.
ReplyDeleteNot good. Just another swamp creature.
ReplyDeleteFUCK!!!!!
ReplyDeleteRoger that!
DeleteHow do we know that's what happened? It was a SECRET VOTE! For that matter, do the other senators know that's what happened?
ReplyDeleteThune = McConnel Light.
ReplyDeleteJust can't get a clean sweep.

Better than Cornyn. Cornyn doesn't even rise to level of being a RINO. He's totally corrupt. And he's my Senator! He needs to be primaried.
ReplyDelete2026 I feel the same.
DeleteDon't forget one eyed crenshaw, he's a turd floating around the bowl

Crenshaw was a gigantic disappointment.
DeleteMy nephew was in the SEALS with ole one eye and has nothing good to say about him.
DeleteBeat me to it Mikey.
DeleteYep, me too. Only reason I vote for Cornpop is because I won’t vote for any asshat that has a “ D” after their name.
ReplyDeletecocaine mitch screwed us again.
ReplyDeleteThe new Senate can kick Thune to the curb.
ReplyDeleteWhat's Thune's net worth? Want to bet it comes up by a factor of 5 in 4 years?
ReplyDeleteMeet the new boss-
ReplyDeleteJust like the old boss............... Both members of the Uniparty.
Then throw in Collins (or Snowe?) and Murkowski who's rather vote with the Democrats and we're virtually tied again.
Hardly a surprise. McConnell started grooming Thune to take over this position years ago.
ReplyDeleteThe first rule of politics: stab the other guy in the back before he stabs you.
ReplyDeleteThe Turtle's last great act of defiance. May his name burn in the anus of her-story.
