In June 2017, Thune co-sponsored the Israel Anti-Boycott Act (s. 720), which made it a federal crime, punishable by a maximum sentence of 20 years' imprisonment, to encourage or participate in boycotts against the Israeli government and Israeli settlements in the occupied Palestinian territories.
NEW: CBS is perplexed that Trump is full-steam ahead on rejecting DC swamp-dwellers like Mike Pompeo:
BRENNAN: "Do we know what it was with Mike Pompeo, who served him quite loyally for four years as CIA director and secretary of state?"
COSTA: "It's just a different orbit around Trump right now. The president elect has people like Donald Trump Jr. Elon Musk. He has Steve Bannon on the outside advising him. These are people who are not interventionists. These are people who aren't traditional Republican hawks."
“At this point, he's moving quickly to make sure his base, his party in his image, is reflected in the personnel picks fully."
The fact that they believe Pompeo was loyal to Trump tells you how lost these people truly are.
The Trump 47 administration is going to be built different; they don’t yet fully understand what’s coming.
This guy is a bad ass. Can't wait.
Just gonna leave this here
Woke up to find out Mr. @RealTomHoman will be my new boss. I pray that he hears of my story and has a receptive heart.
I never wanted to be in the public, but after years of watching and facilitating illegal aliens into the country I love, I had to do something.
To find out we were letting murderers, rapists, and gang members into our country sickened me.
The names of Laken Riley, Rachel Morin, Jocelyn Nungaray, and Kayla Hamilton kept me awake at night. What if we hadn’t let these animals into our country to hurt these innocent women? What if it was my mother, fiancée, aunt, or any woman in my family I hold so close to my heart that this happened to? How would I feel?
All of these NGOs who claimed to be righteous but were given our tax money to hand out thousands of dollars, cell phones, and hotel rooms to people who came here illegally when our veteran heroes couldn’t get nearly any of that.
Sir, I speak for many when I say we as agents lost hope. So I turned to God. I prayed to Jesus Christ and wondered what he would want me to do. I asked if going public was selfish or ego-driven. But ultimately, I realized nothing will change unless WE change it. I realize I broke policy violations and accept that.
What I was not going to do was sit idly by while our country was being taken from us. I hope you truly understand. After both my older brothers passed away from fentanyl overdoses, it has always been my dream to be a border patrol agent and protect our nation.
I look forward to the next four years of getting our country back in order. Being on the team to help set it straight would be an honor. Honor First America.
From a source in the know:
"Hagerty is a Baker group client too, Only reason he's publicly supporting Scott is to stay in Trumps good graces bc he wants SoS.
Hagerty gets that and Ward gets another Senate Seat race in addition to 2026 Tennessee Governor.
It's literally all about cash, these guys are raising hell bc if Scott gets it he gets control of SLF.
Or he can shut it down and set up his own thing.
Ward Baker, Phil Cox(blitz) are all on the board at SLF.
Pretty simple Rick Scott wins they lose millions."
POLITICO: There is now internal "backlash" building against the conservatives vocally supporting Rick Scott for Senate Majority Leader.
"The bulk of the Republican rank-and-file is not pleased. At all. We spoke with one senator who was aghast at the effort, as well as a GOP aide who said the campaign is 'pissing off senators whose votes Rick needs' to win."
“Senators do not take kindly to having an army of social media trolls attack them."
...
There is nothing more enraging than our own elected officials telling us we are wrong to support someone who is in line with the president-elect who just won the popular vote and over 300 electoral college votes.
Edit.
