I don't understand, someone help me out here, please.... Senators must be present to vote.

quote:

For recorded (roll-call) votes on the Senate floor, a U.S. senator must be physically present in the chamber to cast a vote. Proxy voting and remote voting are not permitted for floor votes.


In a roll-call vote, the clerk calls senators’ names alphabetically, and each responds “yea” or “nay” (or may be excused under certain rules). Votes are recorded that way; the Senate has no electronic voting system like the House. Senators can still vote after the initial call as long as the vote remains open (typically a minimum of about 15 minutes, sometimes longer), but they must be on the floor to do so.

I believe he is handcuffed on this but you’re right - he hasn’t done absolute shite to stop pretty much anything outside of DOGE which isn’t even a thing anymore.

And he didn’t even do it.

When the news media ignores it or spins it as "Trumpian conspiracy theory," and muh "Trump/MAGA seeking revenge on his political enemies," and we have over half the Republican party working against us along with 99.9% of Democrats, and we have to depend on grand juries in deep blue marxist lib jurisdictions like D.C. and NYC to have a chance at a conviction, we're fricked.

We're not voting out way out of this. We're going to have to give blood.

I hope Trump knows what Turtle's staff is doing.


Oh, he knows exactly what's going on with Thune and crew. None of this is a surprise. Lots of people knew exactly why Thune was installed as Senate Majority leader. The fact no prominent Republican Senators are publicly calling for Thune to be ousted as Majority Leader is despicable.

GOP looking for a scapegoat because they can't and won't get it done.

Now any chance to pass the SAVE America Act would not be until mid-late September, and by then I’m not even sure if there would be enough time to implement changes by the midterms.

So we have two options: POTUS can handle the situation himself and use Executive power to secure the election, or he can just sit back and do nothing, while the traitorous Democrats conspire with our foreign adversaries and use illegals to steal elections, overthrow our nation from within, and complete their Communist takeover.

The Senate GOP failed The American People, so now Trump is going to be forced to handle it a different way, likely using the US MIL/DHS/ICE.

In February, Trump said that “there will be voter ID for the midterm elections whether approved by Congress or not”.

Well, Congress just missed their last shot to approve voter ID, so I think the window is now open for Trump to use Executive power to secure the midterms. Trump has three months to make something happen, and based on all the messaging we have received over the past year, I think it’s safe to say he planned for this, and was counting on the Senate to fail.

Trump has a plan to secure the midterms without congressional approval, and the Dems have been TERRIFIED of this possibility for months, warning that Trump intends to invoke the Insurrection Act and secure elections with US MIL/ICE.

If POTUS is going to do “it”, the window is now open.
