Oh. Look who finally showed up.
Senate Republicans are on the verge of breaking Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer’s stranglehold over the confirmation process, ending seven months of unprecedented obstruction that has sought to prevent President Donald Trump from staffing his administration.
Senate Majority Leader John Thune is expected to invoke the rarely-used “nuclear option” to reform Senate rules allowing for the simultaneous confirmation of lower-level executive branch nominees as early as Monday, a senior Republican aide told the Daily Caller News Foundation. The historic rules change could grant the more than 100 civilian nominees who have been blocked from their postings due to Democrats’ persistent delay tactics a swift confirmation vote before the Senate is scheduled to go on recess on Sept. 19. more
Name one thing the Democrat Party has done in six years to make America better.
I would rather see them steamroll Chuck Schumer. Squish!
The fact that Thune has been promising this since July and is only now following through shows that he is pretty much a pussy like we thought.
Republicans still haven’t learned that you don’t bring a knife to a gunfight. Harry Reid started this. The Democrats have the will to do what’s necessary, while Republicans think there is some honor code they must adhere to.
Hasn’t Trump taught them anything? Making America Great is not something you luck into. If the dems are in the way, push them out of the way. Do your job or we will get somebody else.
John Thune does not believe he is the only person that can protect S. Dakotans’ best interests, John Thune believes he is the only person to protect John Thune’s interests!
I won’t believe it until it’s done.
Then, I’ll still not believe it.
@Txn4Evr
They lost.
Pussy? Renaming the Dept of Defense then having another mental brakedown over Rosie O’Donnell comments right afterwards, Americans know exactly who the pussy is. Toco Mussolini.
Steamroll sure they will, the most inept repunklicans ever to hold office. Appointments that most can only stand/last a month in the current administration shitshow.
Fox News is running out of nominees.
John Thune isn’t going to do jack shit. Never has, never will!
I’m gonna do it, don’t make me do it, i will do it, counting to ten
Via Grok: “In August 2025, Thune secured unanimous consent for pro forma Senate sessions during the recess, preventing Trump from making recess appointments, which would allow the president to bypass Senate confirmation for temporary appointments.”
So the question then is what senators were present when Thune asked for ‘unanimous consent’, as it may have been approved without all 100 present. Given that any one senator could have disapproved, I find it hard to believe that a Grassley or Cruz was present, or perhaps any but a small number of Republicans. Grok noted only that hypocrites Collins and Murkowski were present on the GOP side.
get off your punk ass, your ****** senate “rules” amount to zero, fk your “tradition”
Thune is full of shit. He could’ve allowed Trump to do recess appointments and specifically went out of his way to kill that possibility. And he knows damn wall that Murkowski, Collins, Romney, and McConnell will vote with 100% of the democrats to kill the “nuclear option”. This is just more time wasting bullshit. Fuck Thune and the donkey he rode in on.
Txn4Evr – Name one thing the Democrat Party has done in six years to make America better
Six years??
How ’bout this century, or the last part of the last one for that matter!

The goddamn Republican establishment had better get their mind right and soon or they are not going to have any support from their base when Trump/Team MAGA believes that they are far enough along on dismantling the Democrat machine to launch another all out offensive. It’s coming and the rotten bastards deserve what everything they are going to get and more.
Thune belongs to club Turtle Boy. It would be interesting to know who runs that anti American circus. Thune is the passive resistance. We all knew this shit when he was placed there. It’s going to take a long time to kill all these anti American factions off.
Thune is a lying SCHWANTZHEAD !!
Txn4Evr, I’ll raise your “six years” to sixty years.
Wouldn’t it be nice if the GOP could be pricks like this once in a while?
I wish I could remember where, but Thune was referred to as a “Professional Politician”.
Thune has been McCONnell’s bitch.
Has he finally heard from Voters? Did he finallt wake up.
SHOW ME Thune !!
where could republi-cants go for non-leadership, if not to looney-thune?
Fuck chuck. 🖕
