Did John Thune Finally Cave?

The SAVE Act is supported by 71 percent of all Americans, and an even stronger majority of close to 95 percent of Republicans. The act passed with flying colors through the House. But the act’s fate in the Senate has been another matter.

John Thune, the Senate’s Republican Majority Leader, has frankly dropped the ball. Instead of the SAVE act passing in an expeditious fashion, as it did in the House, Thune allowed a couple of no-good GOP degenerates — like Sens. Thom Tillis of North Carolina and Lisa Murkowski of Alaska — to threaten and stall it indefinitely.

Shame on both of those corrupt, geriatric turkeys. Fortunately,  they will both be gone soon, no longer to plague us. But Thune could remain, and must either become a much more responsive and stronger  Majority Leader, or else get the boot himself.

Analyst Steve Turley believes Thune might finally be ready to move forward after a meeting with President Donald Trump and high-ranking aides at the White House on Monday. They apparently read Thune the riot act. We’ll see if he finally budges, or continues to capitulate to the worst of the trailer trash in the Senate. Here’s more from Turley.

McConnell’s Smart Move

Dick Morris says he normally isn’t a big fan of the Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell, R-Ky. But Morris gives high marks to McConnell for announcing he will schedule a vote on the Medicare for All proposal.

What’s good about that? Simple. At least seven Democratic Senators are planning to run for President. If they vote against the Medicare for All proposal, they will be defeated in the Democratic primaries for President. But if they vote for the proposal, they will most likely be defeated in the general election. So they are damned if they do and damned if they don’t.

Kavanaugh Nomination Secure

Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell, R-Ky., says he has enough support to ensure Supreme Court nominee Brett Kavanaugh will be the next Justice. A vote on the nomination is expected mid-week.

It will follow a hearing at which Kavanaugh will appear, along with a “surprise” witness dredged up after the fact by the Democrats, who has charged Kavanaugh with sexual assault. It’s possible that the woman, Christine Blasey Ford, will decline the committee’s invitation to speak.

Ford supposedly made her allegations in July, but Sen. Dianne Feinstein, D-Calif., did not bring Ford up until after the original hearing had concluded. In other words, this smacked of a grandstanding delay tactic by the Democrats.

Tucker Carlson weighed in on the latest turn, which has seen Senate Democrats and their allies, including former Presidential hopeful Hillary Clinton, badmouthing the “old white men” serving as Republicans on the Judicial Committee. So, the Democrats are essentially exploiting the aggrieved woman to press the party’s typical racism. You have to wonder if they care at all about Christine Blasey Ford. More from Fox News.

As of press time, it’s looking as if Christine Blasey Ford could not meet with the committee Monday, or even Wednesday, so the Republicans are proceeding with a vote on Monday. Meanwhile, the Democrats are planning to amass a bunch of protest activists in Washington, D.C, beginning Sunday and stage some of their usual obnoxious antics. Will keep you posted if anything changes.

 

Is McConnell Next?

Now that Speaker of the House John Boehner is gone, should Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell be next to vacate Capitol Hill? The stalwart “Trifecta” crew of Stephen Green, Bill Whittle and Scott Ott debate the future of the GOP on PJTV.
