My mind immediately goes to the 4500 tips regarding Kavanaugh and the fact that they were given straight to the white house. s
So pardon me(ha) if I don't put a lot of faith into this.
This is a step in the right direction, ensuring accountability for those serving in key positions. It's essential to have thorough vetting to prevent potential conflicts of interest and undue influence.
Give me a f-ing break! “a deal”? There should be no deal, just due diligence to ensure national security and upholding of the constitution. Disgusting.
"Some of Trump’s Cabinet nominees are opposed to submitting themselves to an FBI check until the bureau is revamped by his chosen director, two sources close to the transition team told Semafor."
🧐 Why would drug abusers, drunks, wife beaters, chronic debtors, Russian assets/foreign agents, pedophiles, and whatnot wish to avoid a standard background check? I’m baffled.
Someone else said it, but I will repeat it: Naming his patently unqualified nominees so quickly, providing about two months for the press and others to investigate them, was not a good move for Trump. They're starting to drop like flies.
Why would they need a deal? You are either an honest person and/or nothing is hidden. Lie detector would be good, too, except for the pathological liars.
I mean, to be fair, I pass a background check… And I mean if they were good at them they’d probably know better...
Running em or not makes no difference to me, unless the reports are fully public, then and only then would you see some people walking way from their “nominations”.

I call him an Orange Potato.
I think veggies are his kryptonite.
Stupid Orange Potato.
I laughed out loud at this.
I’m opposed to submitting myself to taxation, traffic tickets, and so on. Doesn’t mean I can avoid them.
Everyone else can hardly be worse.
So, never mind those checks.
Only people with something to hide request to avoid background checks
"Allowing" background checks?
So what, not real background checks? Just a stage show to then say they're legit?
This should be absolute law.
Just when I think he can’t get away with more, he does
