Pathetic
The Senate is the last bastion for RINOs
Hopefully Trump has Leverage over this old fuck
Maybe he’s a Diddyier
Trump knew all the time. He did well to get Thune to commit to recess appointments. Senators are the most arrogant of politicians. They think they live on Mount Olympus. Mitch McConnell can now go straight to hell!
the real vote was 38-13
FIGHT FIGHT FIGHT !
Yup.
So, winning the election was for naught. If only 13 senators supported Scott then the senate can be expected to be obstructionist.
I hope to hell the RNC is paying attention and primaries the hell out of the other 40 senators who did NOT vote for Scott. And withholds party funds for re-election. With this bunch of uniparty losers, Trump and his team face a significant uphill battle to get anything done. Republicans are not worth a pile of horseshit. They ARE the fucking swamp…
This reminds me of the election of Johnson in the House. Everyone got excited…but me. I saw through him from the get-go. A wolf in sheep’s clothing, so to speak.
What we have in the Senate now is the same damn thing. All that work, all that effort, all those people making great sacrifices to get Trump elected and majorities in both houses. And now the same uniparty that ran both houses is still in charge. All we have accomplished at this point is we have a new president with a desire to restore some of our freedom.
And that is ALL we got. Neocons still in charge, budget passers for everything under the sun including wars still running the show. Meanwhile, all of these fucking assholes get rich as hell and enjoy the life of Riley (I’ll explain for those of you who don’t get that) in the most luxurious retirement home on earth. It NEVER ends.
I believe anonymity protects individual voters, however at the representative level I want to know how my REP voted regarding this appointment.
This appointment is going to block REAL CHANGE from happening and they all need to be EXPOSED. Even if some weren’t participating I think they know all about the Diddliers and will protect them and their ilk at all cost. Strider is right, they are the most arrogant.
I don’t disagree with any of the above. What we must understand, even if we don’t like it, is the Senate is a good ol boys club where the reason most of them are arrogant and tone deaf, is they get elected to 6 yr terms, they can’t be gerrymandered like in the house and most, unless they commit felonies(and even then it is hard to remove them) end up in there for decades, unless they join an administration as a cabinet member. The system sucks but it is what it is.
It was designed for incremental change. The Founders distrusted the passions of democracy.
