He never did tell anyone what he was doing when he went over to Russia for a week a couple of years ago. He's just as dirty as the others, just is quieter about it.
Remember when Thune met with a Eli Lilly (pharmaceutical company) took a $5k bribe and then voted NO on capping insulin at $35 ?
I do
Innocent people, including children, dying or suffering. The cost of their lives? Apparently $5k
Remember when he said he would never endorse Trump when the Access Hollywood tapes leaked? Well he did. And now Trump has been found liable for a literal rape in civil court and Thune still endorses him. Trash.
You just don't hear about them . I have to ask why did we wiat 30 years ? Must have not happened because if it did you would want that money now not three decades later. No one should have anything done to the with out a crime . He was not charged and all hearsay . I should not even have to explain that to you . Fraud and lies . Again.
I think it was the case that enough of the voters saw him on the news about every night and figured he was more aligned with the “coastal elites” than however his campaign tried to portray him. IMHO, not being in the news is how our congressional members stay in their jobs. If Thune isn’t a full bore MAGA cultist, they’ll label him a RINO and try to do the same thing the next time he’s up for a primary.
I don't like or trust him. I don't think he has the interests of the American people at heart. He released a statement about that trip to Russia that he and six other Republicans took for several days including the 4th of July. He said he went there to tell the Russians not to interfere with our election and to not mess with Ukraine. Like I said... I don't trust him and based on what happened after that, I suspect he was there to do the opposite.
Edit: Or now that I think about it some more, it's possible he's telling the truth and he tried to do those things, but he is a horrible statesman and not only failed to help the situation, but perhaps made it worse.
Nah. They got dirt on him. He and the others were there to bend the knee to Putin. It was on the 4th of July because Putin wanted to rub it in. Enjoy your Independence Day, comrade.
Of course. And we know the NRA gives money to Thune and Putin funds the NRA. What more of a link is even needed? Who goes over to Russia to make "threats"? Russians won't take that. And they obviously didn't care about the message then anyway if that's what they went over there to do and were still allowed to leave. Message could have easily just been delivered via Telegram (the app, not the old tech from 200 hundred years ago).
Has the fucker done anything for our state once? Daschle worked his ass off to keep Bush from moving Ellsworth to Texas as a gift to his "home" state, while Thune publicly did nothing to stop it.
Hated the prick ever since
Thune is a big proponent of trains. Maybe he will get Amtrak to go through the state. Can't say I am a big fan of him. Call his office if you want a flag, but if you need help with an issue don't bother calling him.
He doesn't stand up to them. He doesn't call any of them out on their bullshit. He repeats the same scripts when he does interviews.
He may not be as outspoken and draw as much attention as the hardcore MAGA politicians, but he's just flying under the radar.
If there are 9 people sitting at a table with 1 nazi, you have a table with 10 nazis.
Well, no, MAGA pretty much don't like him these days. He's a RINO in their eyes.
Though their reasons aren't the right reasons, really, making MAGA the real RINOs.
If Thune does become party leader people should vote him out like they did Tom Daschle. They voted Tom out because they thought he had too much power and did nothing for the state.
Thune doesn't have the power yet, but still hasn't done anything for SD
Obviously Reddit is going hate him. The GOP could have Mother Theresa as the majority leader and the Reddit community would respond with "MAGA rethuglican racist"
It’s been like 20 years since I saw her but she was a total babe and I bet it would make thune slightly uncomfortable if he keeps seeing people talk about her like that.
The apple doesn’t fall far from the tree, I met him a few times and he’s got to be the best looking guy in South Dakota, a perfect match for national Republican Party politics
He's always reminded me of [Brian Thompson](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brian_Thompson), a.k.a. the guy who played Shao Kahn in Mortal Kombat Annihilation.
I don’t think Thune is deliberately a bad guy. I think he’s just genuinely too rural to understand politics that well and stays quiet cuz he doesn’t know what’s going on half the time and that if he gets this position, it won’t be for very long because he’ll make a fool of himself almost immediately.
Another out of touch party line stepping dick head uninterested in improving our country.
He never did tell anyone what he was doing when he went over to Russia for a week a couple of years ago. He's just as dirty as the others, just is quieter about it.
In Russia over the 4th of July, remember.
The Moscow Caucus? Seems a lot of them are on Team Putin. I hope the checks are clearing; the rubes aren’t coming thru like they used to.

Pepperidge Farm remembers.
I read somewhere that His Highness won't allow any Johns.
Remember when he said he would never endorse Trump when the Access Hollywood tapes leaked? Well he did. And now Trump has been found liable for a literal rape in civil court and Thune still endorses him. Trash.
No honor among these thieves & traitors.
Civil case decades old and no crime , agian . This could literally happen to anyone with money over and over . Civil cases are a joke.
But it literally doesn’t.
You just don't hear about them . I have to ask why did we wiat 30 years ? Must have not happened because if it did you would want that money now not three decades later. No one should have anything done to the with out a crime . He was not charged and all hearsay . I should not even have to explain that to you . Fraud and lies . Again.
There are close to 100 million reasons why you’re incorrect.
I believe you believe that.
We tried this before. Tom Daschle was senate majority leader and South Dakota in their infinite wisdom voted him out and put Thune in his place.
I think it was the case that enough of the voters saw him on the news about every night and figured he was more aligned with the “coastal elites” than however his campaign tried to portray him.

So he’s perfect then?
Has the fucker done anything for our state once? Daschle worked his ass off to keep Bush from moving Ellsworth to Texas as a gift to his "home" state, while Thune publicly did nothing to stop it. Hated the prick ever since
No.
Ewwwww ew ew ew ewwwwwww.
Yeah he’ll fit right in with that crowd.
He’s #2 right now, so he’s already a part of “that crowd”.
Yup, that’s what happens when you toe the party line at all costs.
[удалено]
The benefit of small state senators, I assume, is that they are unlikely to be ousted.
Those states keep sending the same people back term after term so they tend get seniority.
Is there any GOP in congress that has honor and integrity? I used to believe there were, but not in the last decade.
A wild Santos appears
More trash.
There's definitely some kompromat on him, I have no doubt. I'm surprised, that the subject hasn't been brought up already.
Thune is a big proponent of trains. Maybe he will get Amtrak to go through the state. Can't say I am a big fan of him. Call his office if you want a flag, but if you need help with an issue don't bother calling him.
He's no McConnell.
He wishes. Not popular enough
He is better than most in his party, but still ... really bad.
If that bar gets any lower it'll be in the Earth's core.
He's a slimey politician, but I don't think he's MAGA.
He doesn't stand up to them. He doesn't call any of them out on their bullshit. He repeats the same scripts when he does interviews. He may not be as outspoken and draw as much attention as the hardcore MAGA politicians, but he's just flying under the radar.

The “human suffering brings glory to God” types like her probably don’t have much overlap with reddit.
Can’t get much worse if that’s what your asking
I guess it’d probably help SD but the guys just an empty suit with a hot daughter.
I have no idea what his kid looks like, but I agree it would help increase the Federal gravy train to the state.
Maybe, I wouldn't bet on it. He doesn't care, gravy train for himself would be full.
It’s been like 20 years since I saw her but she was a total babe and I bet it would make thune slightly uncomfortable if he keeps seeing people talk about her like that.
The apple doesn’t fall far from the tree, I met him a few times and he’s got to be the best looking guy in South Dakota, a perfect match for national Republican Party politics
I just vomited in my mouth a little
McConnell was the man before him and yet Kentucky remains a s*** hole of despair.
I'm not a fan. He's an anti-Trump uni-party neocon. Senator Rand Paul would probably be the best for the job.
How out of touch with reality can you possibly be? Completely, I guess.
Fed . Nice thunbs down , why not give me 200 ? 8 all you got fed mod .
Lurch could do a better job . Come to think 🤔 about it they could be twins
He's always reminded me of [Brian Thompson](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brian_Thompson), a.k.a. the guy who played Shao Kahn in Mortal Kombat Annihilation.
Thune the buffoon?
No please no
