I agree! When do we ever hear from Thune and Johnson except to regurgitate the party line and continue to follow the “what about them” defense of Donald Trump

Thank You Darrell Solberg for this timely letter! Truer words have never been spoken; so simply and to the point as any critique of our current GOP Republicans -both statewide and nationally. Like the herd of elephants they are- lockstep like lemmings over a cliff following their "Pied Piper" Trump over the cliff. Big ears but small brains; all brawn no backbone to do what's right and dump this guy in the ditch now, the sooner the better. Mesmerized by his con-artistry they throw their hard-earned $$$ to his efforts to continue lying to us all and delaying to face the justice system he so fears but portends to blame everything on his rival, Joe Biden. Darrell, your words regarding the Thune/Johnson (one also must include Rounds!) voting against EVERYTHING Biden's brought forth to help the middle-class expand/succeed only to claim personal GOP party credit when the people appreciate what those programs are doing is about as hypocritical as it can get. They so remind me of luscious, green grass in the summer flowing through the 4 stomachs of range cows and being explosively deposited on the asphalt of a well-traveled road.

Well said. Not that either really care. Deflecting to blaming Biden keeps their coffers full and a seat a the table. Complete disappointment in two people I once respected

Sister, sister, ohhh sister! Such a twister you be! Like the rest of the GOP, you tie yourself into a pretzel denying your senses to see the progress our country has made under Biden. When you drive on better highways, cross more bridges safely, fuel your car up with less costly fuel and watch other inflation factors recede (yes-more can and will be done in this area) and see the lessening of southern border problems and the richest classes in America paying a more fair share of the costs of our society-you can thank the Biden Admin and democrats that got it all done with NO-absolutely none of the GOP supporting the. The GOP is the party of NO compromise, NOT caring what their inactions have done to the USA and following as a leader that would con you out of your soiled underwear, given a chance to!

Adjust your tin foil hat, please.

Thune does not now, nor ever has, supported President Trump. He probably still considers him guilty of Russian collusion because he is so quick to believe the worst about Trump. Thune is a RINO snd the sooner SD figures it out the better. I would expect our elected SD Republicans to support the GOP efforts to find out and disclose the truth about President Biden’s crime family. Instead they sit back and do nothing to keep their hands clean and their options open.

This seems relevant.

"I am very proud of the accomplishments for all people that have been achieved and signed into law by President Biden." What would those be?

You really don't need to worry about what the GOP is doing re Trump. Leave that to the Republicans to sort out. Your very accomplished President Biden will surely shine in the next election since he is using the full force and resources of the government to arrest his political opponents and those who support them, and to suppress information that might make consumers of CNN and WAPO a bit better informed. About Biden. Who is, after all, the president.
