Republicans reject Trump allies' pick, elect John Thune as next Senate majority leader

[Guno צְבִי]

Senate Republicans have elected Sen. John Thune, R-S.D., as the next Senate majority leader after rejecting public overtures from allies of President-elect Donald Trump who backed a different candidate.

After Jan. 6, 2021, when a mob of Trump’s supporters stormed the U.S. Capitol building, Thune was among the many senators of both parties who condemned the rioters and opposed Trump’s efforts to overturn the 2020 presidential election results. Trump then called for someone to challenge Thune in his 2022 primary, but no one emerged, and Thune prevailed.

An early reality check on the dictator dream. Wait till Musk sets off on his yellow brick road to slash $2 trillion from federal spending.

Thune will be excellent.

Better than Scott.

Will Johnson retain Speaker of the House?

Thune will be excellent.

He'll be just fine... His acceptance speech was
pretty darn good...Let them have this tiny fake celebration, though... It's been a really tough week....

Too bad. Rick Scott was by far the better choice. I hope that Thune gets on board with the Trump agenda.

Looking forward to it.

IMO, this is very bad news.

It would have been better if the Democrats had maintained control of the Senate, than to put it again under the control of the Uniparty Shill.

For achieving Government Rule-of-Law and Equal Treatment Reform and reducing Government spending, this is a disaster.

This means that the Establishment GOP plans to just lame-duck Trump for four years, then turn everything back to control by the Democrats and Globalist Left.

Thune Hates Trump almost as much as McConnell does.

Clearly it isn't just the Democrats who have learned nothing from the 2020 stolen election and the Disaster of Biden, it is the GOP as well.

Now we will get four years of constant lawfare, obstruction and stalling, then hand the nation back to the WEF.

What a moronic statement and argument. Nothing remotely connected to reality or the facts.

This, as is usual with uninformed hacks, will not age well.

Your opinion is about as useless as you're arguments.

How so? Be specific? The Democrats do not have the majorities to do any of the stupid shit they did in Trumps first term.

Doesn’t make any difference, the entire GOP is unprincipled, they may talk a good game, “don’t like his actions but support his policies” bullshit, but when it comes down to it, they kiss the Messiah’s ass no matter what he asks. Lindsey flopped from ridiculing Gaetz’s appointment to supporting it within a few hours (https://thehill.com/homenews/campai...gaetz-donald-trump-justice-department-choice/).

They are all the same, enablers

The establishment GOP thinks it can just muscle in an take-over after the Trump Coalition has won, and push their Uniparty agenda.

This won't happen.

It had to be a secret ballot. Republicans are such cowards.
