Republicans are like female praying mantis. They will screw anyone just before they eat them. Good thing tRump gives them new victims on a daily basis. I'll sit back with you and watch some great entertainment. God Bless our fellow resisters.

Who would give a rat's a** what he thinks anyway! But you are right! He may stir things up even more! 😂

Unmm. Not only Thune hates Trump, but the majority of Senate Republicans also hate Trump. That’s the more important story.

MAYBE they actually do not want to just give up their souls to a dictator with allegiance to putin ??? Hopefully !

Well they waited long enough. Is thyme an Ukraine alli? This is gonna be good.

Expand full comment

Well according to Pravda (go figure) Thune is vocally pro-Ukraine, but I’m not sure we have thyme.

They'll be their own ruin, hopefully. 🇺🇸

It would be funny if they all defected to the Democrat side out of spite for him, or at least became Independents.

More likely they would become Manchins. I suspect Susan Collins had some very stern words for Scott before she voted for him.

Hi. God has nothing to do with this fucking mess. WE'RE responsible. We, the humans, who vote. Or in this case, DIDN'T vote.

The insane religious right prayed that Trump would win. He did. Now you want people to beseech God to help us deal with it? Are you also insane?

This is why I think all overly religious people need more fiber in their diet. And less meth. 😡

Sadly all Republicans want there to be a US that is permanently by the GOP. Trump is the messiah towards that objective and he has delivered: the presidency, the senate, the house, the Supreme Court, and a flotilla of willing judges and governors. None have shown they are bound to the constitution. What success, what could possibly go wrong? Answers on a postcard, please.

This is huge! There still is hope for America.

Good news, at least for now. Hoping that Thune maintains some of his long record of mostly respectable service in the Senate. Scott's weak 3rd place finish shows that experienced Senators (when voting in secret) aren't readily bullied. Much happens in public view, however. Will they maintain their institutional traditions?

Expand full comment

So…… he wants to help Ukraine? Wow that won’t go over well.

MAGA is sounding like a 12 yr old going through puberty.

Expand full comment

That's insulting to the more mature 12 year olds going through puberty and giving credit to the crybaby MAGAts.

Expand full comment

They used to sound like 4-year olds. So yeah, right on time.

The GOP is regretting not impeaching this cancer when they had the chance

Expand full comment

Nope. They are complicit and will never get it right. Cult

Expand full comment

There are establishment/moderate republicans in the senate that regret not voting to impeach

Expand full comment

Ah, well, he’s still a republican but at least he’s not a crybaby Nazi MAGA. Perhaps these old school republicans will provide some sort of guardrails.

Expand full comment

One can hope.

Expand full comment

He isn’t a Republican. He’s a Magat

Expand full comment

He's not though, and quite vocal about it. Trump hates him.

Expand full comment

Yeah I think that comment was for a other thread - sorry!

Expand full comment

No, he’s not. Given the extremism within the GOP, Thune definitely falls more towards the “traditional” Republican than the MAGA/Freedom Caucus side.

I’m not saying he’s salvation, but he’s fairly respected and is more capable of working across the aisle.

Expand full comment

Yeah I think that comment was for a different post! Thune was the best of the 3 but I wonder if he’ll cave.

Expand full comment

They didn't provide much when Moscow Mitch was at the helm. Hopefully, Thune has more elasticity in his thinking that the octogenarian who needs to get out of Dodge.

What a wild world we are living in when we are ecstatic over this vote 🤣. Here’s hoping now that they force Trump’s cabinet picks to go through a congressional vote

Expand full comment

Yes, then the Democrats can question them on their credentials. We know most of the appointees have none.

Expand full comment

No kidding… lol

It’s a start hoping for the best to have a lame duck in office

LOL. I figured eventually the bomb-throwers would start throwing explosives at each other once the Dems were out of their way, but I didn't have "less than a week" on my bingo card.

One of them bringing up that vapid "deep state" fantasy. If there actually were a "deep state," that orange human fart would not have been elected. What a deep pile of horse shit cooked up by Russian trolls.

Expand full comment

They need to start pushing back on that crap right now and don’t let it become the norm. They need to push back.

Expand full comment

Projection. Purging 50,000 civil servants and replacing them with "loyalists" will be the actual deep state.

Already calling for Thune to step down. And it's just day one. A preview of the chaos to come.

It’s not even Day 1.

Just the fact that it's a slap in the face for Trump makes me happy!
