This is fair. He is qualified and a smart guy. I personally believe he hates Trump but bent the knee. I don't see him having sold his entire soul just yet. I dont think he'll make it for four years though.
explain to me how the rule of law has worked to contain trump? you cant. it failed. I recomment a junta govt. jail trump and put kamala in charge and restart. yes, we need to break a few bones for some order out of the chaos. No, it wont set a precedent, because Kamala is NOT TRUMP. junta now.
Democrats don't just vote no just because of their beliefs. They are okay to disagree with nominees but will vote yes if they are competent and qualified. Why is this a bad thing? This is what politicians are elected to do.
Apologies....I deleted the post because I thought the response was in response to my shock that ANY Democrats showed up to the inauguration. That said, I think it might have been nice to some of their constituents to see SOME backbone.
The point is that they’re not being partisan contrarians. They’re not opposing the notion of Trump staffing his cabinet with Republicans. They’re opposing the bag of loose nuts and bolts that he appears to be picking them from. Rubio is a serious nominee and should be treated as such.
Marco is neither the best nor brightest but by Congressional standards he is qualified to be SOS. The rest of trump’s nominees are questionable at best.
Marco Rubio, at least he's the sane member of all Republicans. If they voted no against him, one of the oligarchs will take over his throne and immigration policies will be more extreme.
Good news. Crime rate in Florida went down today. Bad news. Crime rate in DC went up today, by 34 counts. And one more registered sex offender in the White House area.
Monday, January 20, 2025, is Martin Luther King Day and that is the great American I will be remembering and honoring. I will make my profile picture his portrait in his honor. I will make my FB profile banner one of his quotes. I have a dream, too. I guess Blue Sky moderation disapproves
I got an honest question for you: whatever happened to Mike Flynn? I expected him to be SecDef of some other high up plum, he got missed. Is he on the shitlist with Trump now?
Just because he is qualified doesn’t mean you have to vote for him.
He won’t be good for America.
Stand up Democrats your vote doesn’t count any way. resist, agitate agitate agitate
Yeah, I’m curious how long a Neo-Con like Rubio will last in Trump’s Isolationist/Neo-fascist administration. How do you run the diplomatic corps when your boss is all id?
That’s fine. Rubio is flawed but he’s a relatively normal Republican and he’s not unqualified for the job. Dems should keep their powder dry for the nominees they really need to oppose (Hegseth, Patel, etc.). This preempts the argument that they are being irrationally “obstructionist.”
Long game, he’s qualified at the very least. As much as I DO NOT like him. The other candidates votes WILL NOT look like this. You vote him “no” like the other crazy, under qualified people, it’ll look like you’re just being a sore loser, and voting down everyone. With this, it normalizes picks. FFT

Jesus Christ....
Everyone else better not get votes like that...
So, when we don't get Democrat votes for non-qualified nominees, we will know why.
We aren't opposed to a President with different ideas, but we aren't going to confirm people who will burn the house down.

Democratic senators, we’ll primary you if you don’t vote NO on every nominee and every vote—from subcommittee to floor.
We’re furious, and we’re watching.
The idiots and the corrupt are running America now.
