let's roll with that...
that puts a couple of RINOs that will eat their shite bucket once again + the stroke vic strokin' it to the crazy clan that has shunned him ... it would truly be Manchin's Ironical Revenge Part Deux...
I'm hardly gettin' muh hopes up ... however, that scenario would be 'renaissance'...

Good luck forcing an extended shutdown since the legislature was passed by the House and signed by President Trump today.
Now John Thune needs to get the Save Act to the floor for a vote.
It’s a shame we not only have to fight Leftists like Schumer but SOB’s like Thune.

Senate GOP hates its base

The heat is just now being turned up on Thune. Let’s see if he caves before we threaten to take him out.

Fox is reporting that Trump asked Thune to do that, so they could get the rest of the bill passed, and fight for SAVE another day.
They have said it on 2 different programs now.

Even Mexico has voter ID with picture and all. If I'm correct it's against the law not to vote and they get a day off to do it.

RE: The SAVE Act - 2026 is the time to apply pressure on Thune and the filibuster
I WANT TO SLAP THE F--- out of Thune..
He's afraid to let the Senate bring up the SAVE act, because "there are other timely matters that need to be looked at that a filibuster might delay".
WHAT THE **** IS MORE IMPORTANT THAN SECURING OUR NATIONAL ELECTION PROCESS?
I though it might be the idiot gang of 4 Republicans holding this off, only to now find out it's THUNE himself?
I remember when I thought Thune was a rock-star conservative. Now he's just another FUGGING swamp creature.

RE: The SAVE Act - 2026 is the time to apply pressure on Thune and the filibuster
IDK this, but my GUESS is, Thune is afraid if he goes around the 60 vote filibuster, the next time the Dems get control of both houses, the Senate will use that as an excuse to blow right by it, too, and try to pack the Supreme Court, for example.
Of course, they may do that anyway, when they get the chance. But if he uses the talking filibuster, they absolutely will do it.
Also, I seriously doubt Thune is the only Pub opposed to it.

I know we've discussed this before, but what states don't require an ID? Ohio always checks my ID before allowing me to vote.

RE: The SAVE Act - 2026 is the time to apply pressure on Thune and the filibuster
The problem with Thune and his kind is they don’t fear the people enough. He needs to be put on notice. You do what WE tell you. You work for us with the consent to be governed.
If WE THE PEOPLE ever decide to become ungovernable, there won’t be a rock big enough or hole deep enough for Thune and his kind to hide under. Keep pushing us…..
