Not one of those who were “brave” enough to resist recess ever intended their demands to be met. It was theater for re-election. They’re all complicit in preventing any of Trump’s agenda from being passed.

Because they are just as corrupt as Thune and in bed with the damn Democrats.

It’s very simple, our government fucking sucks and they could careless. But I have a different theory, I firmly believe this is all intentional for a lot reasons.

Disappointed to have seen @SenMikeLee @BasedMikeLee on one list yesterday. Someone needs to come out and explain this to the American people. @SenRickScott @SenTuberville ALL of you need to explain this. @SecMullinDHS YOU TOO. @realDonaldTrump

It will take four more years to get rid of all the swamp creatures on the Republican side.

SIMPLE SENATE REPUBLICANS = WORTHLESS POS and it should never be forgiven or forgotten what they have done to our country. Everyone needs to face a primary and realize who the boss of this nation? IF WE VOTE IT IS WE THE PEOPLE the answer is really that simple🖐🏾❤️🇺🇸🎚️🖐️

Of all the underhanded, back room dealing, low life, cowardly things our own side has initiated or been a part of regarding the treatment of President Trump, this is the most blatant.

Because they are all part of the problem. We gave them power and they did absolutely nothing with it. Nothing of substance at least.

They're all Team @LeaderJohnThune And it's going to cost them. Ignoring voters comes with consequences. Many of those cowards are betting on voters forgetting or moving on. They are sorely underestimating the will of the American people. We will have the last word.

Because they all think we're stupid. Because they get on here and blather nonsense like they just did a bit part in some shitty play - and then all of them every one of them stand with Thune against this country! I want them fully audited AFTER LOCKING THOSE CAP DOORS, RAYBURN DOORS AND SHUTTING THEIR ACCESS OFF _ FIRE THEM!

Exactly. They are the ones that should be called out not Thune. Only takes 5 to remove him, but no 5 have come forward. Tells you everything

Because they are feckless, spineless, d*ckless cowards. Most are compromised. I’m disgusted with the lot of them. I want another party.

Because that’s not the plan. The last thing D.C. wants is to give power to the People. There will be no such thing as a free and fair election. Imagine, D.C. not being able to control everything. That’ll never happen.

Well, they are in on it, that is why. Trump isn't a member of their club. He isn't the kind of Republican they want as President.

WHY isn't President Trump doing it? That is even more disturbing! The Senate is a den of traitors, but the President's silence is disheartening, to say the least.

This is totally inexcusable. As a Historian, I’m going to say it’s gross negligence or corruption. We will see but it looks very bad and it’s embarrassing for our President

Because they are cowards! Besides, why would they want to screw up (another) 30 day vacation for themselves. America is watching 👀

@JDVance @SenateGOP @GOP Thune needs to be removed. A leader would know how to get the needed votes. Thune has leverage, which he refuses to use. @SenateGOP needs a wise & tough leader. Thune is a saboteur and likely a closet Democrat. You know this is true. #RemoveJohnThune

The real question is why is Trump tolerating this? He should be bringing it up everyday. Thune is a traitor and actively sabotaging Trumps second term. Why doest he call this douchebag out?

Any ONE It only takes ONE To object but zero objected!! One senator. In Senate practice, pro forma sessions (brief “for the sake of form” meetings, often lasting only seconds) are typically scheduled in advance by a unanimous consent agreement. Any single senator can object to that consent request when it is made, which blocks the multi-day schedule of pro formas and forces the Senate instead to handle adjournments through majority votes.

They don't realize without Trump and his supporters, they're finished. They completely failed us. We wont forget.

Why doesn't Trump do something about it? After more than a year, he knows what's going on but does nothing. And by reports, Trump agreed to not pushing the Save Act before they left bc they told him they would add it to a 3rd reconciliation. Sorry, but Trump deserves some of the blame by continuing to get played by Thune. Too many smart lawyers around Trump that know the Constitution had to have told him by now how he can force the Senate into a real recess, yet he does not. 🤷‍♀️🤷‍♀️🤷‍♀️

Don't matter. At this rate without the SAVE America Act, every Congressman and White House staff worker will be replaced. Ironically, they are doing it to themselves. Fucking incompetent idiots.
