Benny Johnson@bennyjohnson·6h

John Thune is sending the Senate home until June. Trump's reconciliation bill? Unfinished. SAVE America Act? Abandoned. He’s throwing a fit over President Trump’s compensation fund for targets of the Biden DOJ, but you know what these Senators had no problem with? A $500k slush fund for THEMSELVES after they got spied on. Not for the innocent Americans who were illegally surveilled for years. They did nothing to stop lawfare against American citizens. The second it happened to THEM, they demand half a million dollars each. Republicans have a trifecta and can’t get anything done. The base is watching. Thune is a disgrace.

@SDSLLC_USA @GOPSenate It's a lot harder to do than people realize. Certainly not saying they shouldn't try, but the process is much more involved than most know. x.com/BallotBanter/s…

Dear @GOPSenate, If you do not remove and replace John Thune now, not a single one of you will hold your seat after your next election. We will primary every single one of you until there isn't one of you left. Now do you care more about loyalty to John Thune or do you care more about your loyalty to your constituents and the American people? We will see. We are watching. Your time is running out.

@VerumEstLiberta @SenTuberville @Gigi22Tamara @LeaderJohnThune @SenateGOP If the Republicans want him out, then they should try even if it fails. However, I do think this is the most probably reason as to why they haven't. x.com/BallotBanter/s…

@SenTuberville @Gigi22Tamara Will all due respect Senator, DO SOMETHING! Start the process of removing @LeaderJohnThune @SenateGOP and elect a leader that bring the SAVE America Act to the Senate floor and run out the democrat filibuster or nuke the zombie filibuster outright and pass the bill!

The SAVE America Act is the MOST IMPORTANT BILL we could ever pass. It’s a shame that Democrats and RINOS are working together to keep it dead in the water.

@BrianCa26943682 @SenTuberville It's not so simple unfortunately. I still think they should try to remove him, if that's what they want, but the process requires unity on the Republican side and that is something they certainly do NOT have. x.com/BallotBanter/s…

@SenTuberville Then why haven't you called for Thune the bull RINO to step down? We don't understand why so many of you tell us how critical the save act is, yet refuse to even try to do what is necessary to get it passed.

6/ I’m not saying this can’t or shouldn’t be done. This is simply the most probable reason why it hasn’t happened. It requires building majority consensus at two separate stages inside the Republican Conference, which is a significant political hurdle.

5/ Even if the meeting is held, replacing the current leader would then require a second majority vote of the Conference to elect someone new.

@C_3C_3 Trump has the legal authority to force them back and reconvene the Senate. He should do it.

John Thune isn’t stupid or weak. He knows exactly what he’s doing. You don’t rise to Senate Majority Leader if you’re stupid or weak. He’s cunning. He’s traitorous. He is doing exactly what his masters want him to do. The actions of a traitor. Worse than Benedict Arnold.

To answer your question directly: Yes, there are specific decisions and policies from Trump that I disagree with. One important area for me is national spending and debt. I disagree with the pattern of large spending bills and major debt ceiling increases that add trillions without enough real cuts to offset them. I view the growing national debt as one of the biggest long-term threats to our national security and economic future. When we borrow heavily to cover wars, tariff relief for farmers, disaster aid, and other needs instead of paying for it, it weakens our credibility as fiscal conservatives and burdens future generations. Voices like Rand Paul have highlighted this issue consistently, even under Republican leadership. These disagreements on the right are about priorities and execution within a broader shared agenda. They do not turn into blanket opposition to everything Trump does or define the entire side. On the left, however, the opposition has often been much more total and reflexive. It is not just policy debate. Much of the Democratic Party and aligned media have made resistance to Trump a central identity, opposing or criticizing actions almost by default. This creates a real asymmetry. The right debates how to best achieve goals like security and prosperity. The left has frequently organized around stopping Trump regardless of the specific issue.

@BallotBanter @SenWhitehouse Do you have any disagreements with Trump? It's not normal to not have any. Same goes for the other side.

It's not though. Are there Republicans out there who only do what Trump wants just to piss of the left? Sure. It hasn't become the identity of the entire party though. Democrats literally have no platform except "Trump is evil, Trump is fascist, MAGA is bad". Trump could cure cancer and someone on the left would find a way to turn it into a bad thing.
