Another in that great genre of, "I'm glad you finally found a line, but *this* is it? Really?"

About damn time.

If Tommy Tubes could stop all military promotions for "reasons", Chuck can stop all DoJ stooge nominees over the $400M bribe.

Nobody asked that about McConnell.

If he can do it now, why didn't he do it sooner?

Now, does he have the spine to keep it up as long as Sen. Ol' Ballcoach?

Silly me, of course he doesn't...

Hate to think this would have been tried a little earlier.. But then, there wasn't anything ourtrageous happening, was it.

Funny how that's suddenly an option after filling so many positions.

Yeah sure he is. And they were all going to vote against that budget reconciliation or whatever it was, until it turned out it was backroom dealing and a total lie and it all spilled embarrassingly into the public

Knowing Chuck he just wants to know when he gets his first ride.

It’s a new thing I’m pretty sure, gotta be

I mean, is anyone thinking of the five remaining centrists/undecideds in Ohio? What will they make of this ?

Bigger question: If he CAN do that, why is he just doing it now???

happyhulk.bsky.social•19 days ago

I'm sure he'll issue a strongly worded letter first, then a second, and then maybe he'll spend a weekend at a lavish resort getaway with centrists, lobbyists, and consultants to devise a plan to check the polls and ultimately side against in late June.

Actually the question is “will it matter?”
