Surprise! Mitch McConnell's Groomed Punk John Thune Preparing Failure Theater Production of "We Tried to Pass the SAVE Act But Goshdarn It We Just Didn't Have Our Ducks in a Row"
John Thune announced that he had a very smart masterplan for passing the SAVE Act. He would -- get this -- not pass it.
Brilliant! Part 2 of the plan is that he promises -- pinky-swear -- he will then add it to a bill via reconciliation. Except... you cannot add non-budgetary matters to a bill through reconciliation. See, the process is called Budget Reconciliation. Measures must have an impact on the budget (supposedly, to reduce the budget) to be added via Budget Reconciliation. So his smart masterplan for passing SAVE by not passing it is doomed to fail, and in fact, is designed to fail. The Senate Parliamentarian will rule the SAVE Act is not germane to the budget -- as everyone knows in advance -- and John Thune will pretend he never thought of that and gee willickers guys, if only you send him more money he could hire better staff to tell him obvious things like this!DataRepublican (small r)If you remember, Mitch McConnell routinely tanked bills that the conservative voting base demanded, but he would tell us that he got us the next best thing to actual legislation -- he got the Democrats to vote "no" on the bill, which is worth more politically than actually winning. John Thune is now selling this snake oil, too.
@DataRepublican Hello Senator Thune, Let's expose what you're really doing with "reconciliation." You announced it yesterday, eleven months after the House passed the SAVE America Act. You're not trying to pass this bill. You're trying to kill it in a way you can blame on process. Here's how we know: Reconciliation requires the Senate parliamentarian to rule that provisions are "budgetary." Citizenship verification is not budgetary. Photo ID mandates are not budgetary. The parliamentarian will gut the bill. Then you'll shrug and say "we tried." We see through you. Meanwhile, you WON'T use the tools that actually work: Rule XIX limits each senator to two speeches per legislative day. Keep the Senate in continuous session, file cloture daily, and the filibuster exhausts in ~12-20 days. You dismissed it as "complicated." Because if you tried and succeeded, you'd have to actually pass the bill. Harry Reid nuked the filibuster in 2013 when he wanted results. Mitch McConnell changed Senate rules THREE times and canceled the August recess. Chuck Schumer used reconciliation within months on a 50-50 Senate. You have 53 seats. You've changed nothing, canceled nothing, and waited eleven months. Now let's talk donors: • Goldman Sachs: $150K to you - top H-1B user
• Google: $75K - lobbies against E-Verify
• Meta: $72.5K - Zuckerberg's FWD[.]us pushes mass immigration
• Wells Fargo: $90K - banks undocumented immigrants Same corporations sponsor Punchbowl News, where you sit for "Fly Out Days" which nobody watches except Congress staffers and K Street lobbyists who pays premium bucks for legislative intelligence. Their reporter then telegraphs to the audience the SAVE Act "will ultimately fail." Corporate money flows to you AND to the outlet that frames your inaction as inevitable. We see the loop. You called grassroots anger a "paid influencer ecosystem." YOU are the paid influencer. You take the wrong side of a 80% issue because you are indistinguishable from a K Street mouthpiece, and an ineffective one to boot who won't bend the rules to get anything passed. What we want: 1. Force a real talking filibuster.
2. Stop hiding behind process.
3. Pass the SAVE America Act. YOU will become the reason that we will have our butts kicked in midterms. Not Candace Owens, not Nick Fuentes, not anyone else. You and you alone, and all because you want to make the 200 or so viewers of Punchbowl Fly Out Days happy. You're living in a K Street information bubble, addicted to the comforts and praises of lobbyists masquerading as journalists. You mistake the steak and martini dinners you get invited to as your own constituents. You are not "moderate." The SAVE America Act has 98% support among Republicans. Name one other thing that has 98% support. You are an extreme minority who prides himself on being a calm leader, when in reality you are well in the running for the most ineffective Majority leader of all time. Prove me wrong. Do the bare modicum of effort. Not symbolic. Actual effort. Cancel the recess. Get SAVE America Act passed.
Every senator will soon be on the record with an up-or-down vote so the American people can know exactly where they stand on voter ID. I don’t know how Democrats will be able to explain being against commonsense voter ID requirements, but I can’t wait to hear them try. pic.twitter.com/1P7tWIVYBK

What the filibuster DOES is provide cover to "Republican" senators who want to shaft their constituents without leaving an incriminating voting record.
This is because providing cover to "Republican" senators who want to shaft their constituents without leaving an incriminating voting record is the PURPOSE of the filibuster.

Every two years, only one-third of the Senate's seats are involved in an election.
That means that after that election, 2/3's of the Senators have two years to teach (corrupt) the few new ones that weren't incumbents that got re-elected.
What you need is to flush all the turds out of the punchbowl at once.
SMOD, hear our prayer...

Thune is a stupid man, leading grifters and thieves. His majority includes the likes of Alaska's villainous scum along with a wide variety of self-important do-nothings, like Tillis, Cornyn, etc.
The Senate, divorced from state legislatures watching over their performance and free of financial concerns, thanks to rent-seeking corporate donors, just does whatever the fuck they want to do, which is so very little of what their voters want them to do.

I got this willowed from the last thread but it may still apply generally here:
I've been thinking for a long time that if there were a true forensic audit of voting - more specifically, vote counting - we would come to realize that deep blue states were actually red. I base this on nothing more than a common sense realization that when one party has iron-clad control of the counting process, it should come as no surprise that that party continuously wins. Not even a variation but a clear example of Stalin's dictum in play.
It's a shame we don't have an institution - like The Press - that makes this one of their investigative goals. And conspiracy minded as I am wont to be, I suspect that they would stampede each other to death doing this investigation if it were Republicans in control of the vote counting process.

My concern from the start is that if they finally did pass the SAVE act, they would only do it so late that it would not apply to the midterms.
I think that is their fallback. Even if it passes today, there is sure to be multiple nationwide injunctions against it. The dems will hold it up until they can undue it next term.

It is most likely that the Senate Parliamentarian is a convenient (and reliable) foil for the GOP-e senators in their attempt to deep-six the Save America Bill. Besides, senators only serve for a six-year term. Why should anyone serve 14 years in an appointed office who can yea or nay legislation and do so without facing the voters in an election?

She’s not that hot. Her sign-language interpreter is cute, though.
So you're saying she is not unhot and also doesn't talk? A keeper!

So, I've been searching for, you know, actual news about where the SAVE Act is.
And all I see is, "The Senate is expected to vote on it." and "Trump wants it passed with DHS funding." and "Thune has a deadline until the Easter recess."
Watching Thune's bit of presser there, he's not talking about up and down reconciliation votes. He's talking amendment votes on the SAVE Act.
So, we're still in the middle of amendment-o-rama, which means debate continues.
I understand the need and desire to keep up pressure, but this is just...the Senate operating on its own timeline which is slow.
We haven't even had a great blowup like the Parliamentarian saying that they couldn't vote on it, or anything.
Just another bit of evidence that the advice to ignore the Senate until the final vote is probably pretty solid advice.

You don’t sit back and wait for that to happen and then say, “aw shucks”. You kick Thune in the nads and let him know you’re watching and it’s time for him to take off the mask and training diaper and act like a real honest man.

I've always said that the GOP has their own version of voter fraud that keeps their safe seats very safe.
Sure, they lose national elections, and the occasional Senate races in red states (GA), but they don't care about that. What they care about -- and the only thing they care about -- is keeping their safe seats safe. They do that with their own versions of voter fraud.
The SAVE act would make that harder to do. So they don't want it.

Remember when the GOP allowed Obamacare to pass so they could go on Christmas break by pretending that forcing the Democrats to vote on raising the debt ceiling in March was a huge win?
Not even 98% of Democrats supported Obamacare--but the Dems broke any rule necessary to ensure it passed.
Has there ever been a Democrat that saw their main job as restraining the will of their voters?
In the way that 90% of Republicans see their #1 job as making sure conservatives never get conservative results?

Getting to the amendments put the chances at 45-55 at passage vs. failure, I think.

The Senate is going through debate, hence the amendment proposals.
Getting to the amendments put the chances at 45-55 at passage vs. failure, I think.

A California jury has found Meta and YouTube liable on all counts in a case that accused the tech giants of intentionally addicting a young woman and injuring her mental health.
Meta and YouTube were negligent in the design of their platforms, knew their design was dangerous, failed to warn of those risks and caused substantial harm to the plaintiff, the jury found.

I mean, I adore the Jackson trilogy of The Lord of the Rings. I enjoy his bloated, meandering Hobbit trilogy.
But holy shit do I not care about the upcoming Hunt for Gollum or the Colbert written sequel (I assume he'll take some elements from the sequel Tolkien started to write and then abandoned, though that was set like 70 years after LOTR and in Gondor, and Colbert is writing it less than 20 years later and in the Shire, so elements can come through but not the actual beginning of the story).

I confess that I'm one of those pessimists who finally lost patience. It's all my fault, of course, not the GOP's thirty-year failure to conserve much of anything. Not the GOP's failure to enact Trump's agenda, forcing to him to basically do everything by executive order like some kind of discount emperor. No, the problem is me and my shitty attitude. I've let the GOP down. My bad.
The most conservative figure in GOP politics for three decades is a vaudeville act from NYC who fancies gold toilets. But I'm impatient.

148 Nope.
Majority Leader can fill the tree with empty amendments, thus there is no substance to waste time debating on each amendment and eating up time that could just be used to vote on passage.
I personally witnessed Harry Reid do it dozens and dozens of time, in person.
The GOP allowing the Ds to offer amendments is not necessary for anything.

I might give Thune a pass if he brings the SAVE America Act up for a vote that only requires 50+Vance to pass and it still fails.
If Tillis/McConnell/Murkowski want to screw us over, so be it, but at least make them vote no.
But Thune is trying to shield Republicans who secretly oppose it (including Thune?) from having to vote no.

There is of course no excuse for Thune here, as pointed out (for weeks now) by many, including here today. Recall several weeks ago he claimed *there wasn't time to do a real talking filibuster*. Uh huh.
But something important that's been obvious, if still stunning, for years: there is no politics any more. Putting senators on the record via amendment votes (primarily) used to be, indeed, important. It was the major raw material for campaigns, ads, themes, etc. It was often painful to watch up close, as I did for years as a staffer, but the purpose was at least clear.
And it mattered. Votes on big issues actually mattered. Now - on the Dem side - it simply doesn't matter, at all. Brain-dead, tribal, mindless and ignorant Dem voters don't know, understand, or even care about real issues. They live in an imaginary cartoon world created and nurtured for them by the (still dominant, of course) "press". On the GOP side there are many tribal dumbed-down voters, but the % is much smaller. Trump is president because on the GOP side, it's at least possible for voters to rebel, change course, etc.

I really like their, "but it's been that way for years" whine.
Yes, yes, under the "Been That Way for Years" Amendment to the Constitution--just let's a cartel judge take a sharpie to black out any law or words they don't like.

I live in California. I'll call my senators immediately to express my displeasure. I won't reach them of course, only a lesser member of their staff, or maybe a voice-mail robot, or a call center in Bangladesh. My displeasure, if noted at all, will be taken as evidence that they are doing their job properly.

And in the same vein, the GOP offered the Dems a ridiculous "compromise" on their DHS funding block. GOP will leave out a key part of DHS funding (ERO) - plotting to put it back in the next reconciliation bill.
The Dems are blocking funding for, literally, homeland security, during a war with the largest terror-sponsoring state in history, following 4 years in which they threw open the borders to foreign operatives (in itself a security disaster that's unprecedented).
And they can get away with it. Because their voters are that ignorant and stupid and tribal. AND because there is no politics. The GOP has these pathetic little mumbling comments like Thune on Dems explaining their opposition to voter ID.
Actual politics would be a massively aggressive public campaign to savage the Dems for endangering the country, plus retaliation - threaten to cut precious Dem programs by 50% unless full DHS funding is provided, now.
But GOP voters with few exceptions simply refuse to send serious or useful reps to Washington. And almost never dump them after they've shown their (worthless) colors. Eyepatch McCain recently being an extraordinary exception.

Passing through. From zerohedge. Iran has 5 conditions to end the war. I'm sure President Trump is working on these as I type.
Iran Issues Its 5 Conditions for Ending the War
Iran lays out five specific conditions under which Iran would agree to end the war, via PressTV. These include:
1. A complete halt to "aggression and assassinations" by the enemy.
2. The establishment of concrete mechanisms to ensure that the war is not reimposed on the Islamic Republic.
3. Guaranteed and clearly defined payment of war damages and reparations.
4. The conclusion of the war across all fronts and for all resistance groups involved throughout the region
5. International recognition and guarantees regarding Iran's sovereign right to exercise authority over the Strait of Hormuz

My thing is more about wanting different mediums to stay separate.
Just because you like a book doesn't mean it has to become a movie.
Good books are joys in and of themselves.
Let books be books. Let movies be movies. Find their own stories to tell, each of them.

I agree with you 100%, and really, I don't do that often, so consider yourself lucky. heh.
But the only thing I can say as far as mixing mediums, is sometimes when a mediocre book has a screenplay written for it that just works, it creates a pretty great movie... yet most of the reverse isn't true. Great books rarely become great (or even watchable) movies...you would certainly know better than me which of them they are, all I know is that any book I enjoyed turned to shit on film...

Their encounter with Tom Bombadil is the hobbits' first respite after their first major brush with real danger (Old Man Willow). He's their "safety net" until they leave the Barrowdowns. After that they are on their own until they meet Strider.
There's also some rather important foreshadowing that occurs in Frodo's dreams while he's there.

If there's one thing Star Trek taught us is, if it bleeds, you can kill it. If it has a hole, you can f*ck it.
These are the rules.

So the GOP lacks the will to actually do any politics on the DHS shutdown, refuses to even try to make their enemies pay any price, but instead comes up with a pathetic concession - openly claiming to have a work-around in the future.
What if Mitch (or several other GOP fossils) drops dead tonight (he'll be replaced by a Dem, immediately)?
What if one of the idiots - Tillis in his kamikaze phase, the loathsome POS Murkowski, the pathetic Collins, et al - change their minds? Then no work-around via reconciliation. Then you've kneecapped immigration enforcement for a gawd knows how long, in return for ..... nothing.

Worked with a guy years ago who always said if the female human was ever challenged by an alien life form that came down to mate with men and could make it happen, women were toast.
The series 'V' gave us a glimpse into that realm.

Iran issues warning to US Naval Forces

Posted by: Digital Media Time News at March 25, 2026 02:33 PM (zCyRU)
========
It's a strange thing - The MSM informs us that Iran had a brilliant pre-conflict contingency plan for 16(?) commanders to act independently in case the US took out their national leadership and the communication nets.
Now we are being told to believe that there is a central authority speaking for the entire country. This is based on pre-recorded video posted on the internet.
Including cardboard-cutouts with photographs taped to the cardboard.
I wonder how many of those possibly "independent" commanders are ready to deal? Give them a deadline?
