Don’t Blame Schumer for Failure to Pass Trump Nominees

The failure to pass nominees rests with McConnell and Thune. The GOP closed up shop regardless of the hostage efforts of Schumer for his bribe offers and Trump ending the so-called negotiations that never needed to take place. Let’s take a look at Bunks previous post back in November 25 2024. Don’t count on McConnell changing any rules, and thanks Thune for not adjourning so Trump could make interim appointments.

Thune kissed the ring of McConnell as we learn, in order to take over as Senate Leader.

McConnell Takes Control of Two Most Powerful Committees as he Steps Down as Leader

Thune AKA Paul Ryan 2.0. Trading one master for another. While we celebrated the GOP taking control of the Senate this past election, one has to wonder how far did we come in ridding ourselves of the worst elements that stymied Trump his last go around. It turns out that the old fool McConnell has cut himself a sweet deal in keeping his cold almost dead hands on control of the Senate.

While he may have turned leadership over the Senator Thune, McConnell instead will be in control of the two most powerful committees in the Senate. Maine’s Senator Collins will be right there along side of him taking control of the full Appropriations Committee, another one who with her side kick Murkosksi from Alaska, are thorns in the GOP side

Maine Sen. Susan Collins currently holds the top Republican slot on the Defense Subcommittee, which drafts the Pentagon’s annual spending bill, worth $825 billion.

Collins is expected to become chairwoman of the full Appropriations Committee next year and McConnell said in the statement he looks forward to working with her “to accomplish our shared goal.”

It wasn’t immediately clear Thursday if Collins would become chairwoman of one of the Appropriations Committee’s other 11 subcommittees.

…

McConnell will also take over the Senate Rules Committee, one of the oldest panels in the chamber that holds a broad jurisdiction.

The GOP Senate members elected Thune by secret ballot just 24 hours after they got into town.

Sen. Ron Johnson (R-Wis.), who backed Scott on the first ballot, tried to convince his colleagues Tuesday to postpone the leadership election until later in November to give Trump and his team more time to weigh in on the race.

“We’re not even in town for 24 hours. I told them, ‘I’m offended by that.’ I think quite honestly that’s outrageous. They’re just trying to jam this down everybody’s throat,” Johnson said of the decision to hold the Senate election less than 24 hours after senators convened again in Washington after the Nov. 5 nationwide election.

The Hill

These people are everything wrong with America Yet somehow Mitch McConnell has just been handed one of the highest position in Government where he can block Donald Trump’s agenda I honestly don’t even have words to describe this.

Here is the man of the hour

New Republican Leader John Thune made Mitch McConnell Head of the Rules Committee, the most powerful position in the Senate

Here’s Mitch McConnell being asked “What are your thoughts on running for re-election in 2026?”

And a hush falls upon the noisy city. The worst of the swamp.

On a personal note Bunk struggles on with efforts to come back to full force. Posts will occur as I am able to rise to the occasion. Many thanks for all your prayers and good wishes. Much peace.
