I knew John Thune was a worthless POS and this proves it.

What does Thune think he will accomplish by this? The Democrats will undoubtedly nuke the filibuster as soon as they are in power and the GOP blocks them.

The reason is because the Republicans fear being exposed for their own corruption. I have little doubt the Democrats threated to release embarrassing information on them.

Until this generation of Republicans passes from power we will continue to lose ground. And once Trump is gone the old order will return, and America will die.

BTW for those who do not understand, the so-called filibuster we have now is not a filibuster at all but a simple threat that tables a bill. In the old days the Senate rule was that there was unlimited to debate a bill, so you could keep one from getting a vote by flapping your gums for hours and hours. That then required a supermajority to invoke cloture, the ending of debate. To do a filibuster you had to have a bunch of people with stamina and an organization to keep the chatter going. It meant keeping enough people there to maintain a quorum.

Mitch McConnell changed it by using a parliamentary trick; just threatening a filibuster instead of actually doing one. The two parties agreed to use this so as to avoid the exhausting and time-sucking efforts required during an actual filibuster. That is called a "zombie" filibuster because it's not a filibuster at all; it's a dead body doing the filibustering.

Now we could well force the SAVE Act through if we forced a real filibuster, but our Senate Majority Leader won't hear of it. And his torn Mentor - Mitch McConnell - is the one who is pushing him to do this just to screw Trump and the MAGA wing of the party.

Democrats have repeatedly stolen elections from the GOP and the GOP has let them because they don't really want to win - they liked it when they were a minority party and didn't have to do anything. That SOB Trump suddenly forced them to do their jobs and they don't like it at all. Washington isn't about doing what is right - it's about feathering your own nest.

John Thune is a true nest featherer and needs to be gone. I hope Trump finds a way to punish him for this.

The SAVE ACT is something that should always have been a part of our electoral system. Almost every country on Earth requires I.D. to vote. And with millions of illegal aliens here that is more important to the United States than to many of the nations that actually require I.D.

There is only one solitary reason to oppose I.D. when voting ad that is so you can steal elections.
