Marjorie Taylor Greene is resigning from congress early, with a year
left of her term, leaving her seat and the whole country vulnerable to

That's pretty slimy of her to trash Trump, announce resignation a year early, and then to go on The View.
Marjorie Taylor Greene is resigning from congress early, with a year left of her term, leaving her seat and the whole country vulnerable t the Socialist Party.
But that still begs the questions:
What turned someone who was seemingly pro-America into anti-America?
Where we misled from the start and MTG was really anti-America in the first place?
We've seem this with several people recently. Ex: Tucker Carlson,
Candice Owen.
Can TDS impact good people?
Theory: Back to the idea of the Elitists and their need to be "on top". It seems to me that Elitists are more likely to suffer from TDS. Could these "good" people really just closet Elitists, get TDS and basically
go insane?

Fun Fact... Ilhan Omar, Rashida Tlaib and AOC get $7000 contributions
from sources Arabic names. The origins of the names, not so important
to my point.
Thom Massie, John Thune and several other RINOs... and I learned today that Marjorie Traitor was in that list... Receiving money from the same people who are funding Ilhan Oman et al..

I saw the fakeness in her right from the start. My suspicion began with her ridiculous TV commercials,
and her articles of impeachment against
Joe Biden was another clue (because it went nowhere.)
Like Dan Bongino
always says "There are fake Republicans, but there are no fake
Democrats."
I used to like Tucker, but I've seen the fakeness in him too, and
Candice Owen. They both used to make good points about the left, but
they sold out and they both turned their backs against us.
No! They were never good to begin with, they were just trying to
impress us so they could plant seeds.
jealous of Trump I think. Candace Owens for example; she pal'd around
with Trump during his 1st year as president, but then said "I'm gonna
run against him in the primary because I want to be president," and
then she never even ran for anything (think of her as the right's DEI hire.)

I knew that Massie was a RINO but John Thune? I thought Thune was our
bud?
I used to listen to her for a while, but she was focusing on fluff stuff and most of her "news" was old, so it wasn't worth listening to her.
She was supposed to have done an expose on how BLM spent their money,
but I never really saw that come to life.
Aaron Thomas wrote to Dr. What <=-
Regarding Candace Owens, the same goes for her wanting to run for president. She didn't run, and I doubt she even tried to collect signatures or to raise money for a campaign.
She wants attention, just like Marjorie. I'm not sure which one is more desperate for it.

Attention or just influence (i.e. power). That would make sense to me. If their desire was influence, they failed - and not just before they
went off the deep end.
I knew that Massie was a RINO but John Thune? I thought Thune was our
bud?
That's a good observation that you made though, them all getting money from the same sources. Maybe Thune is some kind of a stealth-RINO who
only does special subtle things for the Democrats.
Thune is not my buddy. He's drabbing his feet on returning the
filibuster back the speaking filibuster and hence stopping the Save America Act.
If I have a Buddy its Trump and maybe Anna Paulina Luna... That's it.
There are other RINOs in the senate who will vote against saving America. Something needs to be done about that before he calls a vote on it. Shouldn't he postpone it until next year? It has a 0% chance of passing right now.
Trump is 100% reliable but nobody else is.

That's how I see it too. I'd rather watch The View than listen to
Candace Owens. At least those old hags have jobs.

It does. If they go with the speaking filibuster they need 50, and we have that, and JD will break the tie or Fetterman can.
Candace Owens entertains the idea that the earth might be flat. So
much so, that she sent a producer with an expedition to Antarctica a little over a year ago to see if the sun was up for 24 hours there (it was)

Thune says "we don't have the votes." Isn't it possible that he's
telling the truth about that? Murkowski and Collins aren't the only
RINOs in the senate; there are more. Some of them ass-out unexpectedly
at the last minute. We actually need backroom deals on the table in
order for this to happen the way we want it do. If the RINOs f this up then we have to deal with congress all over again.
IHMO: Force the vote and force the RINOs to make a choice:
1. Betray their constituents and vote against SAFE - and lose the next election, or get recalled.
2. Vote for it - and piss off the ones bribing/blackmailing/etc. them.
By Thune blocking a vote, he's protecting them. Which means that he's being bribed/blackmailed/etc.
Thune is a traitor and needs to be replaced.
The level of corruption in todays politics is unbelievable.Of course, when the criminal is in power, this is exactly what happens.
Aaron Thomas wrote to Dr. What <=-
It looks that way, but it also makes sense to postpone the vote until

People forget stuff that happened a day
ago. They'll forget that Murkowski and the other beaches voted against saving America, they'll never ask for a primary, and then they'll do a straight-ticket ballot.
I think Thune should wait until November 3rd.
IB Joe wrote to Dr. What <=-
The level of corruption in todays politics is unbelievable. DO NOT say its always been corrupt... Say it started after Barry was elected.
We have people on the take. Insider trading... They get elected and ignore the people who voted them in. Both sides need to just vote the Save America Act in because almost everyone wants it. Everyone but the Democrat party.
It looks that way, but it also makes sense to postpone the vote until we get closer to election day.
IHMO: Bad idea.
First, because there has to be a delay in implementation. You just
can't drop new rules and expect them to be implemented overnight.
Then because you know that there will be TONS or court cases from the
Left to delay the implementation.
We need time for the Supremes to say "Yes, you will implement them for
the midterms".

I can't. It's been corrupt for a long time. But in the past, it was a personal corruption and the people involved knew that they had a limit because too much would hurt everyone - including themselves.
In more recent history, the corruption seems to almost be at a self-destructive level. And Osama wasn't the start. He was just the
most visible in recent history.
And you see that's the difference.
Long ago, things like insider trading enriched the particular senator,
but did little to harm the country as a whole. And if the senator kept things quiet, he could retire wealthy, and have a nice country to live
in.
In more recent history, it seems like they not only want to enrich themselves, but wreck the country too. So they retire wealthy, but live in a s#!t hole. That makes no sense for greedy people.
The graft isn't limited to one party.
How does requiring proof of citizenship on election day prevent
corruption by both parties once elected? The issue of campaign finance
reform and term limits are more prescient - once elected, you can trade
influence for kickbacks and campaign donations, increasing your chance
of re-election and continuing the cycle of graft.
The Speaking Filibuster is simple majority after the Dem speak as to why they don't support common sense things like proving that you are a
citizen and showing ID on the way in to vote.
Thune can change this tomorrow, but he may be on someone's payroll.
If we have a senate leader who works as hard as Trump we'd be good to go...
BTW, let me ask you... Do you think Chuck or Nancy would have been asked to do whatever they can to put through whatever legislation they can...
NO... They'd do anything ANYTHING at all to push their agenda. If they win the House in November there will be impeachments everyday until the 2028 election.
and Trump is not a criminal, his bogus charges will be over turned.

I heard that if it is not done soon it'll be too late. Primary season
is here so we need the time to implement things.
We need to add pressure to our politicians and we need to primary the

IB Joe wrote to Dr. What <=-
It's because of people like Nancy Pelosi amd Dianne Feinstein to
mention a few. The decades, almost centuries of fraud set the
precedent for other to follow. MTG worth millions, Omar, and the list goes on and on.
Now we have governors looking the other way for fraud being committed BILLIONS and BILLIONS and the politicians just shrug their shoulders
when asked about it.
We are screwed if we don't fix this.
Now they don't care because there are no consequences for their
actions.
Isn't the filibuster an amendment though? Wouldn't the senate have to
vote on it? There's no way out until we have a bigger majority (unless
I'm missing something.)
I agree with that too though. If Trump wants it to get voted on, then Thune should take a vote on it. When we see the end of this predicament we'll know exactly who to blame, one way or the other.
Right. Thune is weak. I know that if I were GOP majority leader in the senate then I wouldn't rest until I had everyone's vote on this. They'd either be saving America or they'd be on a "definitely primary" list.
Friend, you are setting yourself up for a fell for it again award. Far
be it for me to stop you.
I haven't laughed that hard in a while, thanks for that. Like hell they will. And any Dem that doesn't hold him accountable is getting their
balls nailed to the wall by me and all the peeps I know. This era of domestic brutalism, corruption and corporate cronyism must end, and we must build working systems for the American people. No more pussyfooting around and wishy washy neo-liberalism and neo-conservatism.
But they won't remove a Senate leader who's protecting them.
And you don't have to stop me.
Well who would dare stop an ideological
opponent digging themselves into a
grave?
Isn't the filibuster an amendment though? Wouldn't the senate have to vote on it? There's no way out until we have a bigger majority (unles I'm missing something.)
Senate RULES... Recall Senator Harry as the Senate majority leader during Barry's stint in office??
So, it's, not a bad thing to go to a Speaking Filibuster, we had it for the majority of our existence. Mind you when the Senate first made the rule the Democrats didn't hate America and had policies more than
"Orange Man Bad".
Right. Thune is weak. I know that if I were GOP majority leader in th senate then I wouldn't rest until I had everyone's vote on this. They either be saving America or they'd be on a "definitely primary" list.
They need to vote to get rid of him.

I think it only takes 5 votes... Senator Lindsay Graham is Gay for
war... maybe he'll take on this battle.
So the senate did this to themselves, and they have the power to fix it? And Thune has no ambition to fix it? That's a failure.
It sounds better than what we have now. But a filibuster of any sort contradicts democracy.
I never heard of Thune until the 2024 elections. Was he the "minority leader" prior to the 2024 elections? There have been many more outspoken GOP senators who deserve the position more than he does.
They are only "for" war when they will benefit from it. And I don't
think they are benefiting from this one.
So the senate did this to themselves, and they have the power to fix And Thune has no ambition to fix it? That's a failure.
Yes, a vote. Recall Kevin McCarthy?? That's how they ousted him. I think they need 5 people to table the vote and a simple majority to replace him.
Since F**k Nuts has us deadlocked on a 80/20 issue we might as well be deadlocked trying to replace him.
Yes and no, it was implemented to allow the minority to voice their
views on a bill.
President can veto a bill and send it back to the Senate, the Senate overrides the veto with 60 votes.
So, in comes the Zombie Filibuster and THIS is a threat to democracy. It requires a 60 person vote... and now they run off to face the TV cameras blaming each other.
I saw Thume on TV today saying the Democrats talking points... He's
being paid off.
