2025-01-22
Avast, mateys! As we sail into the first weekend of Captain Trump’s second voyage, the Senate be laggin' far behind in hoistin’ the sails for his crew o’ Cabinet mates! Blimey, seems they be takin’ their sweet time, like a landlubber at a treasure map! Arrr!
Avast ye landlubbers! Here we be, approachin' the fourth weekend o' 2025, an' what’s this? The Senate be draggin’ its anchor, tryin’ t’ catch wind for President Trump’s Cabinet crew! Aye, 'tis true, they be settin’ sail on a weekend journey to confirm the likes o' CIA Director John Ratcliffe, but the scallywags can’t seem t’ agree on the time t’ hoist the sails. Arrr, the ol’ filibuster be rearing its ugly skull and crossbones!Senator Thune, our captain o’ the Majority, be firin’ off “cloture” like cannonballs to blast through them pesky Democrats who be delayin’ the process. Why, a filibuster can be a long-winded speech or just a sneaky way t’ throw a wrench in the Senate’s sails! If they can break the filibuster on Ratcliffe, the crew can vote quicker than ye can say “treasure!” But, mark me words, the process be as slow as a ship in a calm sea.
Now, if the winds be fair, they might even set their sights on Hegseth and Noem next, but beware, for a tie could send Vice President Vance scurrying to break it! So grab yer grog and prepare for a weekend o’ vote after vote, for this Senate ship be settin’ sail on a long voyage, with no sight of port in the foreseeable horizon. Yarrr, let the games begin!
