John Thune - Democracy Greatest Hope

it is the first time that one person has demanded the kind of fealty that djt demands, the first time that the senate twice abdicated their responsibility of a fair and impartial judge, the first time a man has been re-elected after encouraging a violent storming of the house to stop the transition of power and then sat and watched and glowed in it..do I need to keep going with the firsts?

let me ask you, post purge of military and civil servants in sr positions, who is going to tell him no and what he is proposing to do is illegal? what would it take to get the house t impeach him and the senate to convict him? are you really that oblivious to what is happening here or in full support of one man dictating the entire gubmnt out of fear of losing their jobs?

 

they aren't though. they had more than sufficient evidence to convict on both impeachments and vacated their oath both times. they could have convicted and censored and established boundaries but they didn't. they told him he has free reign

 

but recess is a different story. that is eliminating the fillibuster rule by a different name

 

here's hoping

Navarro: ‘We’re not going to have a Trump Cabinet’ with Thune or Cornyn leading Senate GOP

Former White House aide Peter Navarro questioned whether President-elect Trump’s nominees could get confirmed if either Sen. John Thune (R-S.D.) or Sen. John Cornyn (R -Texas) is elected as Senate majority leader.

Navarro argued some Trump supporters who have been mentioned as potential Cabinet nominees, such as Kash Patel, a former Defense official in the first Trump administration, would not make it through the confirmation process if Thune or Cornyn were in charge of the Senate.

“If John Thune or John Cornyn get control of the Senate, like Mitch McConnell did, we’re not going to have a Trump Cabinet,” Navarro said. He also said having one of those men as majority leader threatens the productivity of the Senate in a Trump term.

“There’s 4,000 appointments that have to be fulfilled. A thousand of those are Senate-confirmed … and four years of Mitch McConnell, who was just the puppeteer for Thune and Cornyn, we didn’t get half of those,” Navarro told NewsNation’s Dan Abrams on Tuesday.

 

the only thing we can do is be vocal about out of line proposals such that hopefully someone with a conscious in the house and/or senate stand up for the rule of law. if not, this country is screwed. MAGA thinks people voted for their polices, people voted for economic change, not MAGA zealots. Sadly, they are going to find out what they are going to get in exchange for voting for change if this continues down this path.

 

when the Senate actually listened to the evidence and made a decision based on the evidence and not what the emperor decreed?
