Murkowski: I don't think it is a serious nomination for the attorney general. We need to have a serious attorney general and I'm looking forward to the opportunity to consider somebody that is serious. This one was not on my bingo card.

Walt--I am daily Palmer reader, but never FB & disqus won't let me, so this is my 1st social media LOL
Saying Hi as I read you all the time, but can't join in there, so trying this.
Ffs we have to listen to this for the next four years while she still votes for him, while Susan Collins is constantly "concerned".....and still votes for him.
Yet, as usual she will pack up the few shreds of moral compass she can find in the ruins and vote to go ahead smh I could never be in a group where my voice means nothing.
Seems like she’s finally realized that the “funny” crap the clown #Felon was throwing around actually stinks “seriously”! God damn #crapublicans!💩🤦🏻♂️
These cabinet member announcements are the perfect example of Steve Bannon's "flood the zone with shit" strategy. As we struggle to process the shock of the latest name released, another one ten times worse is thrown at us. Then we can't focus on anyone.
What they DO, not what they say. Most likely, the R Senate majority will vote to recess so *all* the nomnees skate through, even if they have to do a carve-out of the filibuster for it. Powerful criminals protect each other; enough of them know they were complicit in the insurrection.
Help organize a City/State WALK OUT OF WORK March before Jan 20. Have hundreds of thousands of undocumented workers WALK OUT OF WORK and march everywhere. Show people the empty fields, pack houses, building sites, no childcare, cleaning, gardening. WALK OUT OF WORK together!
Another spineless politician who is flapping her gums about how it’s not serious don’t worry he’ll never get confirmed who will then vote to confirm him.
Ma’am this is not a game. You do not get to pretend like this is just some fucking fun activity at a nursing home. We all know where this is going. Don’t play stupid.
Ok, girl, you've fooled me before. Not this time, not this time. No one cares about your bingo card. know what I'm NOT hearing you say ???? "I will never vote to confirm him". Say THAT, Senator. SAY IT!!!!!! AND MEAN IT!!
I'm already quite uneasy knowing that if Trump gets to place all those unqualified clowns he wants in various positions, our country will collapse, possibly beyond our ability to repair it later: severe economic recession or even an economic depression due to mass layoffs, deportations, etc.
Well Senstor, news flash it ain’t your Republican Party anymore, Trump owns it, and expecting him to pick “serious” candidates shows how out of step you are, and every GOP senator is guilty of enabling him, you all had a chance to stop him
We expected a serious nomination for the president of the United States from the Republican party too, but there you go. The only thing that’s gonna be serious about this illegitimate administration is their corruption and danger.
I just want to know if the nods are going to be pushed through or if there will be due process. I mean I know the answer...I guess I just want someone to lie to me so I can actually sleep tonite.
These Women had an opportunity to be great, to stand for greatness and demand it of those they vote for.
Instead, they failed in the task and will be footnotes in Text books that will no longer be written.
If her vote is needed to confirm him she'll vote yes, if her vote isn't needed she'll vote no knowing that he'll be confirmed anyway while being able to say she didn't vote for him.
"But if Trump tells me to vote for him, I will. And I will give him softball questions in the senate hearing because.... he's fine." Lisa Murkowski, probably
I love how these brain dead idiots think they will have any say as Trump sets up his dictatorship. The house, senate and SCOTUS have created this monster and are about to realise they cannot contain him..I fear for all Americans!
I have no illusions that anyone in the GOP (can we even call it that anymore) will stand up to Trump. He owns them now. If they don't kiss the ring, they will be purged in the next election cycle (if there even is one).
She took the bait. Sad. The whole plan is to put the non-MAGA GOP Senators in a position where they need to be careful if confirmation of any of these clowns is a hill to die on.
Murkowski is not up for reelection until 28. even if she decided to run again, she would be primaried from the far right again. I lean she goes no on the nomination. Collins is tougher. She probably cannot expect to win in Maine in a midterm election. assuming there is a 26 election
I’ve been a Lisa Murkowski fan for years. She’s a woman of strong convictions, she believes that principals count, she’s fearless, pro-choice and knows how to hold her own ground. Watch her…. She could be a very good leader.
Honestly, given how horrible this administration is going to be, we might actually be better off with an incompetent, smarmy grifter like Gaetz as opposed to someone with the skill & competence to weaponize the department effectively...
Having said that... conversation with my partner who has a friend at the DOJ who is terrified right now because they believe it will be a loyalty thing and that the Heritage Foundation etc will be calling the shots for Gaetz to follow to the letter in exchange for immunity.
I feel like I’ve seen this one before. This is the part where they pretend to have ethical standards and obligations then 5 mins later ditch those values and do what the 🍊🤡 tells them.
Trump's political ambitions and support from extreme ideologies, SPECIFICALLY christian nationalist cult . Is a direct attack on democratic values and eliminated inclusive governance for all. A king is born for a dozen of eggs
It's time the FBI, DOJ, IGs & ALL Intelligence Agencies become the FOURTH BRANCH OF GOVERNMENT. They can no longer be subordinate to the Executive Branch, since when the Executive Branch is CORRUPT, it subverts their ability to investigate without interference and/or obstruction.
Someone needs to buy Lisa pearls to clutch. Actually she can buy her own pearls...I believe Susan Collins sells a line of her own Pearl Clutching Necklaces.

Gaetz is just the tip of the iceberg

As long as the other cowards and Vance are there, they got enough.
I'm sorry that you'll have trouble sleeping tonight
I know that's life. In real llife I take sleeping medication to manage Huntington's Disease

It's time for you to DO something to help save this Republic.
Will you?
Republicans are so concerned now.
We all heard what Trump was saying before the election.
All talk. She and the rest will confirm anyways.
we are so fucked here
Sell out!!
These appointments will be the first test as to whether any significant number of GOP senators have grown a spine.
