good to hear, but I'm worried about anchoring-- recognizing an initial offer no matter how cuckoo. like offering $10 for a $500 watch hoping to pay $200.
nominating Gaetz, Hegseth and Patel can numb the lunacy of the other, equally unqualified and bound to cause trouble candidates.
Guarantee they’ll say yes to the next incompetent criminal nominated
All this talk about ‘confirmation hearings’ is bs
We’ve seen how much weight that dog & pony show pulls w/Kavanaugh
-They lie
-Dems clutch their pearls
-R’s push the candidates through
Welcome to ameriKKKa
They’re going to wait until they are all together, in a super echoey hallway in the Capitol, and shout it into his face. Wish we could be there to see that.
“Nobody wants to defy DonOld Trump” that says it all. Scary…
God instructs to obey the angel he has sent to guide them to the Promised Land. The verse says, "Pay attention to the angel and obey him. Do not turn against him; he will not forgive such turning against him because my power is in him”
Terrorist Trump taking power because Justice failed us. Coup never ended. 2024 election needs investigation. After Trump's 8 years of election crimes with Russia. Leaders should be doing more, now.
I wonder whether they're saying that now because they see Hegseth is on his way out. I am pretty sure he is, and my finger isn't as close to the pulse as theirs. They won't have to publicly say no to him.
‘Nobody wants to defy Donald Trump’ is the most embarrassing, enraging, pitiful thing I’ve ever heard. If these Senators don’t have the balls to protect our Country, our Constitution, and our National Security they should step the f*ck down and make room for someone who will. Pathetic.
Why is Trump hanging him out to dry? Hegseth can’t pass a background check. He’s DOA.
I think Trump can’t find people to do these jobs. He wants to announce his next pick when his old pick withdraws. Why would DeSantis leave his fiefdom to be humiliated by the guy he plans to replace in 2028?
I thought that wasn’t reason enough but you’re absolutely right. Biden’s last months of a successful presidency and lifelong public service are completely eclipsed by the Trump shit show. We’re talking about him instead of the elected Republicans who should be loudly standing up to this bullshit.
Absolutely. His sadism sets him apart from most psychopaths. He doesn’t just lack empathy. He delights in causing pain, especially by humiliation. Of course he’s a rapist.
Oh yeah. If they get past the Senate, it’s over. He’s putting people he knows won’t clear in jobs that don’t require advice and consent. I doubt he would have chosen the same red flags if he knew he couldn’t sidestep the FBI checks and senate hearings as planned. Hope it’s better than Kavanaugh’s.
Why does it seem like Republicans who are true Republicans & not MAGA Cultists are always”waiting for the right moment.” Democrats in power are also guilty of “waiting for the right moment.” Let’s get real for once, when they see the ball coming they should swing the bat instead of dunking for cover
Again, this is why we lose; instead of saying that no one wants to defy Trump, instead, say that are lying clowns who are scared of orange Jabba the Hutt! Jesus, we can’t win in 2026 AND 2028 w these type of Democrats around
Hard to believe anything a GOP in Congress says if it means that person will be standing up to Trump in any way. If you gathered all the Republican spines in Congress, you still wouldn't have enough backbone to make a vertebrate.
Blumenthal has talked to 5 to 10 Republicans who are waiting to say no to Hegseth appointment. It's like saying just throw in 5 to 10 cups of flour into a cauldron.
the right time will, of course, be in 2028 as they're writing their "tell all" books to make more money and launder their reputation as somehow being resisters from the inside
These confirmation hearings (if there even are any) will show the world who are absolutely corrupted and incapable of putting their country's best interests over those of a convicted felon!!!
Doubtful. They will not challenge Trump, because if they do, the cult will threaten them and their families until they bend the knee. Just like Brian Kemp did.
Why would anyone listen to the words spoken by the people whose party is headed by a traitor who sent a mob to murder elected officials.
That right moment was the moment when he was nominated because the dude is not qualified, says crazy shit like it’s a good idea to use the military against Americans and other assorted insanity. The next best moment is right now.
Unless a senator is running in 2026, wtf would GOP
Senators stake EVERYTHING on sucking up to Trump.
Hell now that Vance is VP, they all already think of themselves as future presidents but that low bar just reminded all of them … I jus twist they’d be SELFISH
Of course, the "right moment" for these profiles in courage is when Hegseth has already withdrawn and none of their on-the-record oppositions will be seen as the one that doomed his nomination.
Democratic Senator needs to get a little aggro: “Many many people - good people - smart people are saying Hegseth doesn’t stand a chance. The worst nominee in American history- this I can tell you.” And then go off on a rant about the ones who *approve* Hegseth for the most important job in defense.
IOW, the cowardly Republican senators (sorry for the redundancy) are saying nothing yet because they so hope in their terrified little minds that Hegseth drops out before they actually have to go public.
DeSantis will never take that job. It will ruin his career, being in the Trump Cabinet. And he knows it. Staying as FL guv is his only chance for a future prez run.
It’s not a breakup, there’s no need to wait for the right moment. He’s a grown man with huge flaws nominated as Defense Secretary. Tell him straight - you are a sexual predator with a likely drinking problem and it seems that impulse control runs in the fam and I cannot support your nomination.

For many of these "alphas" we have been waiting 8 years.

Oops now...

How can he not remember such a small number?

substitute the name with putin, jung un, xinping and think on the statement being made in that one sentence
Get pictures.
Forget it, Jake; it's Trumpytown.
HOLD EVERYONE ACCOUNTABLE!

NOW.
How about now?
Only because that's how long it would take to stop laughing.
Zero faith in them, so this could not mean less.

Why is it so hard for these people to stand up to a senile drug addict who shits himself daily?
He's spoken to 5 to 10 Republicans who want the pick withdrawn so they do not have to say no.
