Thune Thwarts Trump's SAVE Act

Senate Majority Leader John Thune made clear Tuesday that an elections bill known as the SAVE America Act faces an unlikely path to passage ...

Don't worry. Trump has a Plan B. If he can't ruin the midterms this way, he'll try another.

There's nothing more dangerous than a frightened dictator.

Good!

Will a patriotic Republican Senate member please raise their hand if they think the SAVE Act is unAmerican and only intended to suppress voting for people they don't think will vote for THEM?

.....(waiting ....waiting ....waiting)

Didn't think so

I suspect that there are a few out there; they just don't want to be identified.

Thune is no hero, he's just not a masochist, either.

He would do this if he could, but he can't because Trump has alienated enough of his Base to cost enough Repubs their jobs if they vote for this.

"You have to have unified support, not only in support of the ultimate goal, which is the SAVE America Act, but on the process to be able to defeat amendments that would undo the legislation in the first place," Thune said. "We can't find a piece of legislation in history that's been passed that way."

Not to mention he won TWICE with our system. Never hear him utter the words "2016 voter fraud" or "2024 voter fraud." Which has been proven to not even be a rounding error. And most people arrested for committing it are ... Republicans.

Or that a LOT of Republicans vote by mail despite his constant whining about losing in 2020 and WINNING in 2016 and 2024.

No way on God's green earth that the GOP is going to give up the filibuster. If no one else, ask Chuck Grassley about playing the long game in the Senate. Der Dotard is just a visitor in DC; there are many others who live their lives there. They know that sooner or later the GOP will need what the filibuster delivers, and they want that power. Trump or no Trump...

You love showing up to show how you fall for anything. Even your attempt to change the topic of the thread blows up in your face.

"In the 2025 mayoral election in Hamtramck, officials discovered 37 absentee ballots that had not been tabulated on election night. The ballots were reportedly mistakenly separated from the others due to a counting error and later found in the clerk's office.

The chain of custody was broken after non-election officials entered the office. Because of that, the county refused to count the ballots, and a judge later upheld that decision.

Months later, the city terminated her employment. Officials said the firing was tied to "partisan punching bags" with candidates' faces found in the clerk's office, which they said violated neutrality rules for election offices."

You fall for every meme you see on facebook. BWAAAHAHAAHAHAAHAHAHAHAAHAAHAAHAAAAA
