What about a coalition of the people? It appears north of 75% of the entire American electorate wants this.

I'm not a Massie fan. I'm a fan of The Constitutional Republic of the United States.

What is it that McConnell and Thune really want?

Thune doesn't want anything, he's just weak. Thune could make McConnell obsolete but he won't. I'm writing to both.

Is this where all the Massie fans get angry because the Save Act isn’t being advanced for a vote?


Do you disagree with the Save Act?

Just a reminder for all the angry Libertarians: Massie voted against advancing the Save Act. That vote passed by 1 vote, despite Massie’s attempt to kill the bill.

Oh they do, you just have to remind them. Which, conservatives almost never do. You do what you want, but I'm not going to sit on my hands, and I won't be afraid to give up my body, either.

So I emailed both the turtle and Thune. In 38 minutes I'll be calling their offices. The problem is: I don't matter if no one else does it.
I'll be doing it everyday, even on the weekends. This is the hill I'm willing to die on. Someone has to.

If the SAVE act doesn't get passed, Trump is not going to have a damn government left to do anything with.
The communists will steal every election from here on out and this country is over.
Burnt bridges be damned. THIS IS THE LAST CHANCE!!!

McConnell is going the way of Biden... his lasting legacy will be a shuffling, ill old man who long lost touch with reality. Shame.


Proof of selfishness - if I am going to lose touch with reality, am ill and can only shuffle, what better place to be than the US Senate.

Need an amendment that clearly states if one does not step down from their elected capacity at that point, one will be put down.

Don’t forget about leverage.

This is different though. If they don’t pass this, we will never have a true voice again. The deep state will have full control. Trump needs to do something. Not sure what he can do.

every politician that comes out of Kentucky has some weird issue. Not sure what goes on there.

Dirty vs. Clean

The Democrats are useless as hell, but a lot of Republicans are corrupt, too. That's why I always say that that America's #1 enemy is our very own corrupt Political Establishment.

No he didn't. He voted against a rules change and it was explained. It was explained by him on X. It was explained on this board.

Building coalitions has worked out great for this country.

Thune knew he was going to do it and probably asked him to do so.
