John Thune won’t nuke the filibuster to pass the Save America Act because he wants to be nice to Democrats.

Chuck Grassley won’t get rid of blue slips to advance our judicial nominees because he wants to be nice to Democrats.

21 Indiana state senators voted against redistricting and deprived us of two additional House seats because they want to be nice to Democrats.

19 House Republicans are co-sponsoring mass amnesty legislation and going against the will of 77+ million voters because they want to be nice to Democrats.

10 House Republicans voted to extend TPS for 350,000 Haitians because they want to be nice to Democrats.

House Republicans won’t censure Ilhan Omar and Rashida Tlaib, or expel Epstein’s Democrat friend Stacey Plaskett because they want to be nice to Democrats.

The last thing on Democrats’ minds is being nice to Republicans. When will Republicans learn?

I'll post this again and again, and again, and again.

These jackasses are all on the same team. It's really that simple.

But people can keep cheering on their blue or red teams, blinded by the fact that there's just one team.

John Thune doesn’t have the power to nuke the filibuster. He does not have the votes to do so. There are not 51 votes to kill it.

I don't know why this is so hard to understand for most people. Neither party will kill the filibuster, because they know what that means when the opposing party has power. It is not worth the short term gain.

Analogous to the USA and Russia having nuclear arsenals. Mutually assured destruction. Neither party is going to push the button.

Because they’ve only been pretending to be conservatives.

Half of them are closeted democrats (and are in many cases actually gay) playing a role to get reelected for money and power.

No leader, no unifier.

Everything done by executive order.

Is doing things that are immediately enjoined or overturned the minute another POTUS takes office really getting anything done?

Nothing Trump has done this term will last a minute beyond noon on January 20, 2029.

Tillis won’t back Trumps pick to the fed, because he wants to be nice to Powell


Being nice is an excuse they use to be their evil selves

GOP can’t win a election unless Trump is on the ballot

To be fair it’s not like he had control of the Senate, the House, and hand picked 1/3 of the Supreme Court

…oh…

Would bet a large sum the Democrats will do it next time they have the chance

Nice is the justification.

The reason is he doesn’t want to let Trump control the fed because they don’t want the same things.

The RINOs just hide their actual agenda behind a mask of “nice” and “clumsy incompetence” that always seems to get in the way of them finally doing what they campaigned on.

W was a “compassionate conservative”. Except he wasn’t.

He was a globalist masquerading as a moderate Republican just like his dad.

The only real division in DC among the elected officials are MAGA/AF and the various forms of globalist.

That makes me miss Rush. He would be all over this right now. He would be more pissed at Thune than any of the Dems.

Their voters are dumb, that’s why. When you have chunks of your base jumping to the far left over obvious propaganda, guys like Thune are allowed to exist and get away with what they do.

Is doing nothing because congress is corrupt really a better plan?

4 years of positive orders is better than nothing at all, but keep thinking perfect is the enemy of good. Most of us are aware of how that turns out.

Corruption, money and power. All of them are bought off or some group is holding something over their head.
