John Thune Declares: I Demand a Well-Funded MAGA Primary Opponent In 2028 and I'm Going to Stamp My Little Feeties and Hold My Breath Until I Get It!

You got it, Princess.

Bill Melugin
@BillMelugin_
CBP/ICE funding bill will not be on President Trump's desk by June 1st, as he had said he wanted.
Senate going home. Bad vibes on the Hill today.

Supposedly this is over his pique at the weaponization compensation fund, but, as with Thomas Massie discovering the Epstein files for the first time weeks after Trump called for him to be replaced -- that's creating a fictional "policy" cover because the power-politics "I'm in charge" gripe is too petty to be admitted.

So Thune and company having a temper tantrum over Trump's Paxton endorsement so he's using the weaponization fund as an excuse to once again not do his job.
Senate leadership is an absolute disgrace and every single one should be replaced.

🚨 IT'S OFFICIAL: Senate Republicans will now MISS President Trump's June 1 deadline to pass ICE and CBP funding, as John Thune decides to RECESS the Senate until NEXT MONTH

Thune is a FAILURE.

President Trump is NOT going to be happy about this. Time to remove Thune! pic.twitter.com/EhX6CrAZOO

Just so we are clear on something...

Leader Thune appears to be a Democrat.

He has:

a) Refused to pass the SAVE Act
b) Refused to fund ICE / Border Patrol
c) Blocks Trump's recess appointments
d) NOW TAKES A 10-DAY VACATION?!!!!!

He is either a Democrat, corrupt, or both. pic.twitter.com/7D4dj5K01O

13 I’m gonna try to be fair. It was a stupid idea to throw that fund into the mix at this point. The senate was ready to push a vote on the bill.

A bit of scrutiny on that fund would be good. In fact it’s the senate doing the job we asked them to do.

Yet into the mix we throw a huge money pot with no published rules or guidelines for access. And we all know how well that goes when the government throws a find out there without some understanding of how it will be spent. Nobody in the senate understood the fund. It’s why the AAG was on the Hill.

It could have waited.

344 Due to my recent adventures with a new strain of cholera from the 1800's (not really, but what I named it); I remain tired and goofier than normal (I thought it was Friday, Ace, sorry.Yesterday I was shocked it wasn't Tuesday). I hope this is not permanent.

It will be nothing short of a miracle if I pack well and make the flight on Saturday. I plan a nap on the plane, and am not eating the breakfast they offer as that's the last thing I need to start a trip.

I am also behind in productivity. Even more behind than normal procrastination. My husband has said it does not matter so I will do the best I can.

It used to be when I went out of town the house was super clean in the event the plane crashed and my MIL had to help clean out our stuff. Now she's dead and I am slacking, but still like to come home to a clean house. Full of woe and the wrong day.

Behind in gardening for two weeks. I am currently soaking ranuculus corms and telling you Morons to see what you make of this. It sounds like I am soaking corns on my feet, which I have never had and nor do I soak my feet. It sound kinky, though.

And even in space, you wouldn't want to be looking up the ass end of that thing. IIRC, minimum safe distance in the light of sight to the ass end would be maybe 100 km or something.

There are usually weeks of discussion and something on paper that senators can look at and question. None of that is available. Zero. If I’m a senator I’m not signing off on that.

If they were stoned and creative, like I used to be, I would have no issue with it.

79 Trump's next move might be interesting. He has a tendency to collect leverage or manufacture it. Not sure what skeletons are hanging out there on Thune, but McConnell is a pretty easy one. Start threatening to look a little more closely at his extended family's connections to China and the CCP.

Relative to Thune, I think I'd do an advertising deluge of the fact that he's never worked in the private sector in his life...and is your stereotypical polician who could care less about the average conservative. Everything Trump does includes a prep time acquiring leverage. I can't imagine he left Thune off that list.

80 and about one of the dumbest members of the house of reps:

Former New York City Comptroller Brad Lander (D) is leading incumbent Rep. Dan Goldman (N.Y.) in the Democratic primary for New York’s 10th District by more than 20 points, according to a new survey.

In the Emerson College Polling/PIX 11 poll, 56.6 percent of respondents said they would back Lander while 23.1 percent said they support Goldman and 20.3 percent were undecided.

Go away for a month. Develop rules and guidelines. At least allow the AAG the time to develop a response to the questions.

Trump had everything he wanted in the bill that was going to be passed. Take that big win. Move to the next.

The constant 1g thrust trajectory is very passenger friendly. You've got earth gravity the whole time (until the midway turning point, where you have to shut off, turn around, and then decelerate at 1g). Makes things like space-toilets no problem (but have to be careful at that turning point).

The other little engineering and materials problem is on the journeys to the outer planets, like Uranus, your peak speed in between is going to get a bit high. Space dust and little particles are going to be problem colliding with you. Charged particles would be no problem. You've got a big ass EM field for your "pusher plate", so you can make your own magnetic shield. It's the neutral dust that would be a problem.

Not likely. They will hold pro forma sessions with the sole purpose of preventing President Trump from making recess appointments. They'll send someone to the chamber to gavel in and then 10 seconds later gavel out. McConnell did the same thing. PDT has never had the opportunity of recess appointments because of these RINO creeps.

154 >>I'm getting very frustrated with Jordan and Comer too. Both of them do all these hearings and investigations that go nowhere. Comer then had the nerve to write a freaking book about it.

I'm not sure they go nowhere. All they can really do is investigate, produce evidence and refer those they believe did crimes to the DOJ. They've sent a bunch on the grand conspiracy case but I get that the optics make it somewhat less than satisfying.

That sounds like a game a black Democrat, or just any Democrat, came up with to show the world how racist America is.

No word on what's causing the delay. The launch window closes at 7PM local, too. Subchilled propellant load doesn't start until ~38 min before T-0.

157 127 A controversial game called Plantation Simulator has been released on Steam and is receiving huge backlash from people calling it a slavery simulator.

The game is described on Steam as a simple farming simulator where players motivate workers to work on a plantation.

But the gameplay centers on a whipping mechanic applied to Black workers to increase productivity.

The developer has described it as:
“In this game, you will be whipping black people to keep your farm productive. If you whip your black person too much, they will die.”

Holy hell!

159 Does anyone else think John Thune looks like slimy Senator Pat Geary in Godfather 2?

It's not as apparent in the air-brushed photo above, but he looks like Night Slasher from the movie Cobra.

160 If Busch has a serious sinus infection and didn't get tx, it can, if bad enough, lead to meningitis. Just spit balling

161 134. Busch had to radio in at the May 10 road race asking to see a medic as he had a severe sinus infection. I’m thinking brain aneurysm or severe brain infection

Never penalizing their time

172 I can't believe I used to tell one guy who kept calling that I had to wash my hair. Poor dude. It did not help that my father gave him a nickname and would yell it up the stairs that he was on the phone. My life has been nothing but trauma.

--------------

It's so funny how our psyches are formed (mine was an abusive & traumatic childhood). I had zero self-esteem and -- though a top student & athlete -- thought & felt like I was stupid & ugly.

I was flabbergasted when girls showed interest in me, and my first girlfriend (@ 19!) virtually had to rape me owing to my being terrified of sex.

Most of those Etsy type outfits don't have the ability to fill many orders, especially if the hand painting of the figures is decent. I prefer figures with heft, like the fake stone or metal infused resin ones.
