President-elect Trump's appointments part II

[CrimsonJazz]

His constituency?

Or the right-wing version of left-wing “spontaneous protestors” hired for an outcome?

LOL, this ain't the deep state feds he's dealing with. Don't you know that we're supposed to reject the notion of "paid provocateurs" out of hand without so much as a glance?

Hint: he knew all along what he was going to do. Pretending he was wrestling on this is nonsense. Anyone with that much doubt has an obligation to vote any nominee down.

Republicans defending this left wing putz and Democrats attacking him has been the Bizarro world fantasy run amuck.

When the neocons started taking over the Democrat party and the Republicans became the voice of free speech and meritocracy, I knew we were in for some strange times, indeed. So far, I haven't been disappointed.

From the recently appointed Undersecretary for Public Diplomacy and Public Affairs at the State Department.

Goodness! Put me down in the "he failed at diplomacy" column.

If RFK Jr - a man with half a brain - is good .... wouldn't a man with two brains be better? Like 4x better?

"A worm ate half my brain" has the same ring to it as Thomas Dolby's "Aliens Ate My Buick".

Susan Collins to vote for Gabbard. Collins seems to be very naive in believing what Gabbard told her. Not the 1st time Collins has been fooled.

Collins regularly makes a big show of how open minded she is, but when the rubber meets the pavement she falls in line with the rest.

At this point, I'm not convinced Matt Gaetz wouldn't have been confirmed.

The senate would confirm a ham sandwich if it was nominated by trump.

Always reminds me of Pink Floyd - Hey you.
But it was only fantasy
The wall was too high, as you can see
No matter how he tried, he could not break free
And the worms ate into his brain

"Left-wing putz?" Really?

In any case, left, right, or somewhere in between, he's clearly a gutless politician.

Dana Bash: Senator Bill Cassidy was the deciding vote to advance RFK Jr.'s nomination. As CNN's @jeffzeleny told me on @InsidePolitics, "The reality here is, it is virtually impossible, politically speaking, to withstand the opposition particularly if you are up for reelection."

Gee, if I had wanted Democrats like Gabbard and RFK2 appointed to a cabinet, I would’ve voted for Kamala Harris.

oh wait, I did……. So in this narcissistic time, I guess this whole thing now becomes my fault.

(Sort of like the macabre late 60s musing, “ I was told if I voted for Goldwater that we would be in a war within six months; and I did, and we were.”)

I will vote to confirm Tulsi Gabbard as Director of National Intelligence. While I continue to have concerns about certain positions she has previously taken, I appreciate her commitment to rein in the outsized scope of the agency, while still enabling the ODNI to continue its essential function in upholding national security. As she brings independent thinking and necessary oversight to her new role, I am counting on her to ensure the safety and civil liberties of American citizens remain rigorously protected.

She was probably grinding her teeth as she wrote this, but even she can read the room (sometimes, anyway.)

Democrat RFK2 confirmed for HHS Secretary.

1) welcome back, polio
2) Matt Gaetz would 100% have been confirmed

already have measles outbreaks all over the country, that will get worse

I need to go start an Iron Lung company with Red white and blue Iron Lungs, maybe call it the MAGA Lung

I can't help but wonder how much of this is attributable to millions of unvaccinated people crossing the border every year.

of course you do, I would suspect nothing less

This report describes a measles outbreak at a migrant shelter in Chicago.

I stand defeated in the face of such a cogent argument. Well played, sir.

no argument, just an observation that you seem to always be perfectly aligned with MAGA and their ideas

Actually, I would have been thrilled as hell if Biden had created DOGE and secured our border. I care little about the man behind the action; I’m loving the action itself. If Biden had done those things, I would have voted for him in 2024, but of course he didn’t and I wound up voting third-party (as usual.)
