Feel like a bit of a pollyanna that I thought at least one of these unqualified nominees wouldn't get through and yet here we are. Will be a bad four years, but the long term implications will be so severe. Devastating.

Right there with you but it looks like the fear of having a primary opponent funded by Musk or Shanahan was too scary for them. Is campaign finance reform a losing battle? Also will RFK jr push the regulations he wants to make food healthier?That feels like a bipartisan win.
His drug addled brain is going to get hundreds of thousands of people sick or worse die with his insane bullshit. He lied to those morons and they either believed the bullshit he spewed to them to get the job or they were too scared to actually have the balls to stand up to the felon.
Every day, it's another disappointment ..or 2, or 3, or more, for our country. We're not even a month into this clown show and I shudder to think what we will be a year from now. Will a clear majority of Trump voters have major regret?
Jessica, could not agree more. I listen to Raging Moderates every week and I give you a ton of credit for speaking the truth on the Five. Keep up the great work
When I saw Thom with Kash I just kind of accepted they have no convictions. The sad part is in the GOP's vision of government there is no legislation branch. They aren't republicans anymore. They are Yarvin CEO monarchists.
I think at this point they’re still seeing this whole thing as a game show power trip. But reality always steps in, right? There will be real consequences for their decisions, words, and actions. I’m almost certain that just like in the first administration there won’t be enough FAFO’s to go around.
Although he was specifically referring to Pete Hegseth, Sen. Mark Kelly said it best in his Senate floor speech. Each of these nominees - in part or in whole - is "uniquely unqualified."
4 years you say? This country will not have future elections that aren’t compromised. We are in a death spiral + only a few will acknowledge it. At this point I’d rather them just rip the bandaid off of all of it so maybe, just maybe people will wake the fuck up & fight back.
The propaganda machine is in overdrive, pushing the narrative that inflation is Biden’s fault, not Trump’s. And just like J6, MAGA eats it up, treating disinformation as truth. The real kicker? Even those who know better—educated, critical thinkers—either stay silent or go along. Sad but true.
Democrats are allowing Trump to steal our Country and Money while Democrats scratch their heads and are quietly fading away. What the Hell. Fight like hell because our Country is dying and an old sick man is stealing our social security money and all of our Country. Our Country is in trouble.
And now Patel has moved forward. The Republicans really value job security over the everything else.
They are giving away what little power they have left with every “yes” vote.
Most disappointed in @lisamurkowski.bsky.social and Sen Cassidy for RFK, jr. Was hoping Susan Collin’s could hold the backbone she had for Hegseth vote but alas not. Anyone approving Gabbard doesn’t believe in keeping Americans safe.
Feel like we in a movie and there's gotta be someone to rescue us but I don't think it'll ever happen. We're just doomed. Guess the movie will just end up being Mad Max or Hunger Games esque eventually.
I agree Jessica but on Fox liar News you guys will be laughing and joking about how Americans are going to die, go hungry, treated less than human because they are not white men. I am so sick about what you guys are doing on Fox.
If we don't halt/reverse this fascist takeover before it's too late, it's going to be bad for a lot longer than 4 years.
We need to take action in whatever way each of us can. It's not game over. Just imagine the potential for real positive change for the people on the other side of this...
Did you really think any of the lack of morals Republicans would stand up to Trump?? Follow the money...these people do not care about America they only care about the money.
I am hoping that this circus will implode before the four years are over. Maybe in a few months? Once trump’s magas realize how negatively they are being affected?
Ask your group if they think McConnell, of all people, is a "RINO" just because he voted knowing full well how terrible polio is. Who exactly are "real" republicans if McConnell isn't one?
Senate and House Republicans are the real constitutional crisis.
Article I legislative branch (read: John Thune & Mike Johnson) has abdicated its duties.
They've completely rolled over and refuse to do their jobs.
I’m sure there will be some sort of lawsuit or major tragedy where one or more will step down or be forced out. Of course I’d rather that not happen, but apparently to we’re in the “hold my beer” stage of governing in this country.
The great problem is even if the US recovers in 4 years. Successive blows had landed. This is now a blue print for other administrations. Perhaps it would happen suddenly, but the decline is now set in.
Has been ever since half way through the count in Nov.

They are disposable
Ridiculously--it turns out--thought that a couple republican senators might brush the stains off their knees and straighten their spines.

I so admire you for getting on Fox every day and speaking truth to power. But serious question: Do you think it makes a difference?
I keep trying to find common ground but it's getting to the point I don't know if it's worth the effort.

Not a SINGLE republican cares about the US or its people.
Not a single one.
