Oh good lord.
You know, it's kind of weird to me that there are republicans stating he won't be confirmed, which, also has me wondering, does that mean he does not have a senate full of Yes men?
Trump isn't going to like that, so I assume they will change their mind after a little private one on one meeting with him.
Bunch of disappointed losers sad that daddy picked someone else to be his special boy. Disgust would require these shitsacks to have morals.
In other news, the nomination of Matt Gaetz as AG by Donald Trump has moved the Mitt Romney Outrage Meter from "distasteful" to "bothersome".
How many steps are we away from a furrowed brow?
Gaetz has a better shot at having dinner with Queen Elizabeth II than being confirmed by the senate,"
Dem senators should help confirm him to help Trump show the nation he wants to burn everything down.
No they aren't.
They voted for it and they wanted this.
No, they aren't. Quit lying.
They might be, right now.
See, there's plenty of time before they actually have to cast a vote. So I'm sure that means Trump will send some mean tweets out about them. And then they'll make the pligrimage down to Mar-a-Lago, bend the knee, say 3 Hail Donalds as penance and promise to insult a brown person on their way out before returning to Washington, DC and voting to confirm him.
They're not going to cast votes. This will all be done with recess appointments, and all of these "concerned" senators will "express their concerns" with the exploitation of the recess appointment process and lament that there was nothing they could do about it.
They had really hoped that Mr. Trump would cooperate with the advice and consent process, but what can they do if he pursues the recess route? It really is too bad and all of that.
Everybody's surprised that he's picked this guy , but it's because he's compromised that he's picked him.
He has or will have all the shady shit he's done on his desk every morning they have a meeting to remind him what to do.
Elect a clown, expect a circus.
Common guys, we've already been through this.
No, what we sat through was the pre-show with puppets and clowns. Next up is the twisted, gore-filled main event. They’ve been beating the elephants and starving the lions. There will be carnage.
It's just gonna be never ending laughing to keep from crying from here on out.
Great accelerationist pick, appreciated by both nazis and tankies
Always thought he looked more like Beavis, myself.
Outrageous choice.
