Thune: Trump Has ‘Decisive Mandate,’ moving to confirm entire cabinet

@SoDakCampaigns

From Breitbart comes a story on South Dakota Senator and Majority Leader John Thune that the senate is moving at a rapid pace to confirm the entire cabinet for President Donald Trump:

“At the moment at least, and this is despite the Democrat delays and stalling, the Senate is currently confirming nominees at double the pace of 2017 and 2021,” Thune told Breitbart News late Wednesday morning. “As of this morning, we’ve confirmed 11 and this afternoon we’ll vote on Scott Turner’s nomination, which will be the 12th confirmed Cabinet-level nominee. On this day in President Trump’s first term and in President Biden’s term for that matter, they only had six Cabinet nominees in place so, you know, Senate Democrats have slow-walked the process unfortunately and they’re choosing to do this the hard way and dragging it out but I think Senate Republicans have demonstrated we are serious about getting the president’s nominees confirmed as quickly as possible.”

and

“In most cases we’ve been able to grind the Democrats’ resistance down and we’re going to continue grinding until the president’s cabinet is in place and as you saw this week as you pointed out there were a couple of markups coming out of committee this week with Tulsi Gabbard getting reported out of the Senate Intelligence Committee and the Senate Finance Committee reported out RFK,” Thune said.

  1. Definition of a “decisive mandate” is the same as a “landslide” in Trump speak. 1.5% win in the poplular vote. Okay.

    Does that work when the president is of a difrerent party? Of course not – we have Article I responsibilities to advise and consent.

  2. I’m not sure confirming Mr. Roadkill Brain Worm is something to brag about but you do you, republicans.

  3. Unforgivable. Giving Tulsi Gabbard control of our nation’s secrets. She is Putin’s pal. No friend of ours.

    Here she is on Russian invasion of Ukraine: “This is about regime change in Russia and exploiting this war to strengthen NATO and feed the military-industrial complex. …“Tucker Carlson Tonight,” Fox News, Aug. 12, 2022

    “The warmongers are trying to drag us into WW3, which can only end in one way: nuclear annihilation and the suffering and death of all our loved ones. Zelensky, Biden, NATO, congressional and media neocons are insane. And we are insane if we passively allow them to lead us into this holocaust like sheep to the slaughter.” …@TulsiGabbard post on Twitter, now X, May 21, 2023

    “You hear President Biden say, ‘Well, this is Putin’s war, this is Putin’s fault. It’s Putin who’s the one who’s solely responsible.’ Well, the United States and some of these European NATO countries are fueling this war.” …Joe Rogan June 27, 2024

    1. Note how Gabbard says “Zelensky, Biden, NATO, congressional and media neocons are insane.” But no, not Putin.

      Putin lied and said he wouldn’t invade. Putin butchered hundreds of thousands of people. Putin displaced millions. Putin falsely claimed Ukraine was full of Nazis. Putin threatened nuclear war. But no, it’s western leaders that are… “insane”.

  4. Q: What are the odds of Gabbard, RFK, Hegseth, or Patel being confirmed on a secret ballot?

    A: Zero

    The fear of Herr Trump is palpable, as is the rampant hypocrisy of our fearful senators.
