The U.S. Senate has completely emasculated itself today compared to what it once was, and Rachel Bovard didn't hold back calling out how worthless it's become: “The current state of the Senate... it's an existential threat to the Senate itself... You have a Senate now that is literally run... like an adult daycare. You know exactly when you're going to vote, you know exactly when you're going to have lunch, and you know exactly when you're going to go home. And for all of the remaining time, you sit on your carpet square, sip on your juice box, and wait to be told by the leadership what to do next."show more

@rachelbovard I disagree in that I think it’s completely deliberate. They are hiding behind the filibuster, using gimmicks, and stall tactics to wait out Trump and then fundraise when they get back in the minority. It’s all by design.

Sorry Glenn but you are missing the obvious. The Senate has been setup as a means for the deep state to block anything that threatens their ability to run the country in the shadows. The filibuster is basically an unconstitutional rule that allows the senate to block the will of the people by requiring a super majority for any legislation. The founders never intended that. The Senate was designed to give each state an equal vote regardless of its population and was supposed to be selected by the state legislature. It was never intended to require super majorities for legislative approval. The constitution and the bill of rights were there to protect the minority from the majority.

@rachelbovard A bunch of useless mfrs

@rachelbovard The house as well, they are NO different. Lies, all lies.

@rachelbovard

@rachelbovard Sick of these lazy pieces of shit! I had a tour of the Capitol and these privileged assholes never leave because of the perks they get. Their only job is to get elected and to get re-elected. That’s it! They are worse than useless! Thune is as useless as a tit on a bull!

@rachelbovard @LeaderJohnThune is running an adult day care for over privileged antiquarians.

@seanmdav @rachelbovard We need to repeal the 17th Amendment and let the states clean up that broken and corrupt institution.

@rachelbovard The senate keeps paying the Taliban millions every week. Wyoming senator barraso is the gatekeeper for that. Imagine being a gold star family member, having YOUR government giving millions to the people that killed someone you loved. Children without parents, barraso pays killers

@rachelbovard No! They also post on X about the policy they support but cannot get passed! Interestingly it is NEVER the republican’s fault.

@rachelbovard The Senate is the biggest scam ever on the American people. They're nothing but a bunch of worthless, smug, self serving bubble dwellers doing what they're told and being lied to by their staffers which makes them even more ignorant that what comes naturally.

@rachelbovard She as awesome. Smart and articulate. I was wishing @LeaderJohnThune was listening.

@rachelbovard The senate as whole is a complete fucking joke and everyone knows it!

@rachelbovard The 17th Amendment must be repealed

@rachelbovard AZ has the worse Senators ever! Ruben Gallego and Mark Kelly. HORRIBLE and they MUST GO!!!!

@seanmdav @rachelbovard The Senate is purposefully stalling the Trump Agenda.

Well, if we abolish the 17th Amendment and have the Senate represent the States they are from again these Uniparty/RINOs could be recalled and a new Senators could be appointed that represents the will of the State. Senators were never supposed to be elected but appointed by the States through their governing body. There is a reason why they implemented the 17th the same year as the 16th. These Uniparty senators are not inept, they know exactly why they are there and it is to keep the current systems in place to maintain a thumb over the people. They are just as power hungry, dangerous and evil as those in the DSA. They just try to hide it. Still the same goals in the end but instead of taking over the means of production they instead steal the fruits of that labor and turn people into slaves through robbing them of their labor and time through taxation enforced through extortion, intimidation, imprisonment and violence. It has nothing to do with the people anymore with these Senators. It never has since at least 1913 if not longer. They are more like wardens of an elaborate prison then they are representatives of the people or states. They are fighting back because the prisoners (The American People) are starting to notice the bars of the cage and there are to many of us to stop if enough become aware.

@rachelbovard This I’d exactly why we need to return to senators being appointed by the governor. That way they are loyal to their state before party and they’ll either perform or get the boot!

The only way to fix the Senate is to repeal the 17th Amendment. The founders had the right idea when they had Senators elected by the State Legislatures. 99% of the nonsense we see going on today in the Imperial Senate would have been reined in LONG ago if the States had any say in who they send. And who they recall…

@rachelbovard the Senate didnt emasculate itself only ONE person did/is doing that their either emasculated or bought-&-paid-for(or both) majority leader @LeaderJohnThune

@rachelbovard One thing I see here, is all this talk about the incompetency of the Senate, gives fuel to those who are calling for the abolishment of the Senate. Just something to think about and consider.

@rachelbovard They pass things none of their voters asked for with lightning-quick speed though.

@rachelbovard We know now.

@rachelbovard They hardly ever work, and when they do it’s all smoke and mirrors.

@donnac158 @rachelbovard They do act like a bunch of children, especially, @LeaderJohnThune I won’t vote for what’s best for America because I don’t like the President who wants it. Sounds like elementary school. We need adults as leaders, not little kids.

@rachelbovard Why can't JD Vance as President of The Senate, do something?

@rachelbovard Yep, as my grandpa use to say-they are worthless as tits on a boar hog!

@rachelbovard Brava, Ms. Bovard! Now, we need to vote these grifters out and put in term limits so they can't nest in for 40 years.

@rachelbovard Every fvcking one of them are corrupt. Why did not ONE pos Senator TRY to oust Thune? Why did not ONE of them stop Thune from blocking recess appts? Every motherfvcking ONE of them are RINO's. Not ONE of them tried to stop the shyt that's been happening for 14+ months. Fvck them!

@rachelbovard

@seanmdav @rachelbovard It’s become a nursing home too. When you have to question if someone is still alive or even knows their name then you know it’s broken. It’s pathetic.

@rachelbovard The Republican Senate needs to be abolished and restarted. They're clearly not working for the American people. It's rare that the Democratic Senate steps out of line, but it's a weekly event with the Republican Senate.

@rachelbovard What the Senate leader does is tell them to work maybe 3 days/week, 3 hours/day, take 3 week vacations/month, do insider stock trading, steal our money & give it to jihadi terrorists, corrupt Ukraine, Somalia fraudsters, illegal criminals, etc, for kickbacks. Worthless reps.

@rachelbovard We the people should deliver 100 carpet squares and sippy cups to the senate floor. Better yet, make it 90 and let them throw a tantrum on who doesn’t get one.
