Sen. John Barrasso (R-WY) on Friday shut down attempts to remove Sen. Mitch McConnell (R-KY) from his leadership position in the Senate by writing a letter Friday to Republican senators denying their request to delay Wednesday’s leadership vote. Barrasso, one of McConnell’s top lieutenants, wrote a letter Friday to GOP senators denying their request to delay Wednesday’s leadership vote until after all Senate votes had been counted. “We look forward to meeting next week with our new and returning members. I expect a full and open discussion beginning at Tuesday’s policy lunch on our path forward,” he wrote in a letter obtained by CNN. “On Wednesday we will meet again

Of course, the vote remains because the senators don't actually give a d**n what the people who elected them want, only what the party line demands.

Barrasso is a puppy dog full owned by Mitch "MultiUseless" McConnell. When MultiUseless says stay, he stays. When "MultiUseless" says go, he goes. Good old Mitch, soon to be 81 years old in February. What's for lunch?

The less than red wave election results are not Trump's fault. If anyone is to blame besides the cheaters, it's the three McTraitors. They are behind the rinos blaming Trump and pushing this fight between him and DeSantis. They hate that DeSantis won bigly in Florida just like the left hates it. That Rona McT3 girl did nothing about the fraud; it's happening in the same places as 2020. There are two former combat veterans (both helicopter pilots) headed to Washington. One is from Houston and the other from Michigan, John James (I think). The one from Houston is talking a good conservative game, but he told Bannon that Cruz, Jim Jordan, and others told him that they were very confident that McCarthy would do well as Speaker, so he plans to vote for him to continue as leader. If you're from the Houston area, call this man and give him the skinny on McT2. It might work unless he's a uniparty plant. Cruz and Jordan are busy working for the status quo while pretending to be open to new leadership.

I’m MAGA. Not Republican. Can’t imagine how it must feel to be a Republican. Reagan almost got me to register, but since then, every Republican President and political leader has been completely bought and paid for. When Lyndsey threw out that ridiculous abortion nonsense and the McNuttin’s holding back suport for populist MAGA was disgraceful. Helen Keller and Stevie Wonder could see what is going on here. Deep state $&@€ing Trump and MAGA. Ilk stay home and let the place burn before I’ll vote for another Rhino.

As one of the more basic rules to live by... don't start a fight until your current fight is over. It could read..."Don't hold a new election until the current election is counted.", A leadership election for the NEXT congress, where members elected to THAT congress cannot vote, and members NOT going to be in it can? Alaska still has it's entire congressional ticket waiting to be decided...by the LOSERS in the race, it makes zero sense there either.

Ditch Mitch. And replace him with, hey, I don't know, Rand Paul, Ted Cruz, Josh Hawley, and even, just even little Marco. As much as I have some reservations about anyone of them, ANY one of these guys would be better. And please don't give me BS about judges. Judges are procedural and the long term Senate staff knows how to do it. Not that we will ever get the chance to name them as stolen elections (Thanks Mitch for not saying a word or doing anything about the 2020 steal) are now the way of this country. So, forget ever having a republican president again. DITCH MITCH, ASAP.

Mitch McConnell's actions are the biggest reason Republicans did not do better in the election. He is directly responsible for several big losses. But Hey! Mitch is happy. No responsibility from being the majority party. Of course, the "party of stupid" will vote to keep him as their leader.

Just ask yourself what have any of these "senators" actually done to make your lives any better? Being in the Senate or Congress is a good gig if you've never actually had to bust your ass for a living, figure out how to survive. I will say I'll exclude the crop of Republican veterans and candidates who just ran and got elected.

The only way we'll get rid of the GOPe fossils is the way we finally got rid of McCain - death. Then, if there's anything left of the Republican party, it can be rebuilt. I'm not optimistic, though.

With the House race remaining uncalled, discussions have emerged on both sides of the aisle regarding who should be the next speaker. On the right, the discussions have naturally centered largely around current House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy, a Republican. But on the left, the discussions have centered around someone else altogether — outgoing Rep. Liz Cheney, also a Republican, albeit one who just got voted out of office this election cycle (not that House rules require the speaker to be in Congress). The idea appears to be the brainchild of Jennifer Rubin, a Washington Post columnist who for most of her career was a staunch Republican, but who completely flipped positions

The Hill is out with a column from an apparent left-winger who’s proposed that President Joe Biden make California Gov. Gavin Newsom the president. According to Douglas MacKinnon, a political and communications consultant who worked in the Reagan, H.W. Bush, and Bush administrations, all it’d take is for Biden to pull off some bizarre, potentially unconstitutional shenanigans. “In one scenario, Biden could ask [Vice President Kamala] Harris to resign and replace her with Newsom, who then becomes the heir apparent for 2024.

On Tuesday morning, The Gateway Pundit reported that when polls opened in Maricopa County at 6 am on Election Day, voters were told that the tabulators were not working. This was happening across Maricopa County and resulted in long lines and voters being told to go to another location to vote. Katie Hobbs is the current Secretary of State in charge of elections. Instead of tabulating their ballot directly, voters were also told to put their ballot into a box under the tabulator so that their ballot may be tabulated at a later time

Is the gubernatorial race in Arizona over? Not quite, but the fat lady is warming up. After four straight days of promises from certain analysts that heavy Republican ballot drops were going to arrive and save the day, Sunday’s results were again underwhelming. While Republican Kari Lake did win the overall vote in the Maricopa County (the largest and most important) batch, it wasn’t by the margin she needed to eliminate the gap. (Tweet) When you look at the outstanding ballots, it’s very unlikely that enough votes for Lake exist to put her over the top. Deep blue Pima County still has 38,000 left while Maricopa County has 94,000.

Republican Lori Chavez-DeRemer won a critical U.S. House seat in Oregon necessary to win the majority over Democrats. Called by the Associated Press on Sunday, Chavez-DeRemer won her race in Oregon’s 5th U.S. Congressional District, beating out Democrat Jamie McLeod-Skinner. Per the Associated Press (AP): Chavez-DeRemer’s victory makes her the first Latina congresswoman from Oregon, a distinction also sought by 6th District Democratic candidate Andrew Salinas. That race remained too early to call. The district was previously held for seven terms by moderate Democrat Rep. Kurt Schrader and was targeted by the GOP, which saw the 5th as vulnerable after the long-time incumbent’s primary defeat

The advent of alternative media has created a whole new world when it comes to disseminating information. But not everyone is happy about this – particularly members of the activist media.

But when he tweeted about his vision of making the platform friendlier towards average citizens participating in journalism, at least some members of the once-vaunted fourth estate took umbrage. On Friday, Musk tweeted: As Twitter pursues the goal of elevating citizen journalism, media elite will try everything to stop that from happening.

With the ruling D.C. establishment having successfully beaten back the midterm election challenges to their unchecked power by congressional candidates who were supported by former President Donald J. Trump, the job now turns to snuffing out the MAGA movement and, in the eyes of many, two former leaders with much in common will be spearheading the effort. Two of Trump’s fellow White House alumni Barack Obama and George W. Bush will be holding back-to-back “democracy” conferences following the expected announcement that he will be officially declaring a 2024 presidential run, something that the corrupt uniparty appears to be determined to prevent at all costs.

PHILADELPHIA—Call it “the White Wave.” A flood of white envelopes containing mail-in ballots lofted Democrat candidates to victories in several key Nov. 8 races. Case in point: Democrat John Fetterman will occupy Pennsylvania’s coveted U.S. Senate seat instead of Republican Dr. Mehmet Oz. In that race—and several others—mail-in ballots acted as a breaker against the “Red Wave” of wins that Republican leaders had hoped would wash across the nation at a time when Congress and the White House are both Democrat-controlled.

Surveying the wreckage of the disappointing Republican midterms, voters were left scratching their heads, trying to figure out what went wrong. With the fundamentals being as bad as they were this year, Republicans underperformed expectations, and it was fairly obvious that they would experience no red wave by early in the evening on Election Night. While I've seen plenty of postmortems already, the single biggest issue that wrecked the wave was mail-in voting combined with ballot-harvesting, which all but eliminated Republican hopes in states where Democrats control the voting rules. This is why Senate polls were so wrong in these states.

Election Day is increasingly looking like election month, and frankly, unless state residents under our federal system get control of this, I see no end to it. In the worst cases, ballots are emailed to everyone who has ever been registered to vote whether or not they’ve died or moved away, faulty ballot printing results in valid ballots being tossed, equipment failures misregister votes, ballot drop boxes are left unmonitored, and so on -- all of which contribute to an atmosphere in which corruption flourishes. The more this happens, the more voters believe they cannot vote themselves out of policies and politicians with which they disagree.
