I don't want to sound alarmist or anything, but I'm not sure it's a good idea to skip FBI background checks and bury congressional ethics reports about nominees to the most important posts in the federal government.

They don’t believe in government—this is all a game to them. It’s called drown government in the bathtub or burn it down. Only the cockroaches like them will survive.
At the moment, I feel like Putin is going to be getting the President's Daily Brief forwarded to him from at least a couple of folks who have been nominated...
Unless it is to Destroy it all from inside! They trained 50,000? Heritage Foundation Project 2025

They want all Climate change green energy erased! Resist them.
Since they are Putin supporters and already will promote his decisions, there is no worry about a hostile foreign government blackmailing them into turning over state secrets. They are already on board with doing that. How Americans view them doesn’t matter when they control govt and the courts.
It's not a good idea, but there's nothing we can do about it. It would be nice if Dems in Congress or Biden could do something, but I don't know if anyone can.
There are policies,
rules & regulations
that must be followed
and it must be considered "illegal"
to bypass an important step of an stablished standard approved selection process! It must not be allowed, it'll set
negative presedence!
Likewise, re-electing a man to be President of the United State who could NOT pass a background check for even the lowest level security clearance seems like a bad idea.
It isn’t anywhere near good idea.
THERE ARE NO GUARDRAILS.
If they succeed at this farce of a Gov. the cult will eventually arise in anger, bc it will affect them.
Their militia may turn on them at that point.
On the other hand, it seems like no negative past action can be used to compromise anyone anymore. Sexual Assault? Sex with a minor? Being a Russian asset? None of it matters to Americans so it can’t be used as leverage. So the security risk isn’t there. That’s good, right?

You TOO ? !
So I am not alone on that then.
Sit back and enjoy the show. Keep your humour up, smoke a blunt, good time to get into microdosing psychedelics. You will go insane if you try to make sense of the current reality out there, so let’s change the reality for ourselves. Close down your left brain for the next 4 years.
I don’t understand why Trump does not have to comply like everybody else that took the oath of office as President. Gets away with everything. Lost all faith in humanity.
Of course, it is not a good idea to skip FBI background. It is rather alarming because it means his picks are bad people, which we already know: a bunch of racists, misogynists, and some rapists.
Officials at this level should have to pass stringent background checks, and the results should be publicly available, so we all know when to pay attention to who they are talking to.
Let’s be honest here. The GOP held Donald Trump to no moral, ethical or qualification standards. Why would you expect anything more from them with regard to his nominee or appointment picks?
Hmm. Interesting point. How do feel about electing fascists? Any views on rich guys buying themselves advisory roles in government with no vetting whatsoever?
Man, it’s because they are soooo not Russian assets or rapists that to even assume they are Russian assets or rapists would weaken the integrity of our efforts to expose Russian assets or rapists.
I remember during his primary run in '80, during a GOP debate, he demands time and says, 'I paid for that mic' as if that earned him more time than his opponents.
GOP as faux tough shmo has been their brand for half a century +.
'I'm not really tough, I only play it on TV'.
"There you go again"
What's the worst that could happen? It's not like any of them would steal classified documents, store them in the guest bathroom, and then share them with any rando who happens to wander by .... oh wait ...
Trump will break every rule with impunity to suit himself, and there's no one now to hold him accountable for the next 4 years. He's got it locked up, thanks to our brilliant voting majority, plus those on the left who don't believe in voting 4 center-left Dems or voting at all.
Yeah how much more obvious can you be? Trying to avoid FBI BC? I guess when you nominate a bunch of criminals they don’t want all their dirty laundry exposed!
It's the kind of thing that you've always thought was the LAW. A requirement for serving. A total no-brainer that turns out to be optional. Yikes. It's a wonder the bad guys haven't taken over before now.
Eliminating blackmail and financial coercion is often the REASON for background checks. Entry level government jobs require more scrutiny than Attorney General? WHAT? Transparency is essential.
Eventually their karma will unravel and they will regret their decisions. I know so many people who are not talking to family, friends, neighbors because they voted orange. Sadly, I am one of those people. Wait till they take my medication because I can’t afford. I’m politically pissed right now.
Hey, but what do we know? Trump will fix it all. He said so. In fact, I believe he is steadily absorbing into his being all of the members of Congress. His is a deep hunger.
The department of government efficiency advises it is efficient for the senate to use the house report rather than spend time and dollars on another one.
I strongly agree with you, although it's worth mentioning that the FBI background checks have never been dispositive. Final decision was always the president's.
The whole thing doesn't smell right. These picks all look like ringers. What? We didn't exactly react positively when Aileen Cannon's name was floated for AG? Maybe she'll be more readily accepted when she's an alternative to Gaetz.
And again... if THEY don't need background checks, no jobs do! Child sex predators can go work with children, bank robbers can now be tellers, etc...
I'm disgusted.
The Senate still has some say in this. If enough people call their Senators (especially republicans Senators) it may be possible to make trump replace some of his nominations.
We need to keep making things as hard as possible for them to "conduct business". There are accounts on here with info.
I don't know, even though Trump’s cabinet nominees breathe new life into the notion of the inmates running the asylum, I can't help but wonder if maybe just let DJT have his appointments and set America on fire so people understand that you don't let a toddler play with matches.
Any candidates with a questionable past could be blackmailed by foreign powers to work for them if they dig the dirt. Its a basic process used countless times, honeytraps and the like. Hmmm ... that rings a bell.
And there isn't anyone who can do something about this. That's the sad part and how in the hell did Trump get control of everything. There needs to be a re-election and with no Elon or Russia interference. I think someone should come in and arrest the administration and 47 and hand it over to KH.
I used to work on special access government programs as an engineer, in SCIFs etc. They investigated the hell out of me for my clearance. I guess that stuff is all a joke now. #ruleoflaw
It's literally opposite day. An antivax nutjob in charge of health. A child trafficker as attorney general. And a conman, fraudster and rapist elected to President by the party of law and order. They need to shut down the large hadron collider pronto.
Kevin I am sorry to say this you are living in past, today you can do anything with trumps blessing. Just don't try to be a bigger ASS than he is. This is a new and sad day to be an american never had any idea we would be drowning in such a Fascist sewer. Draining the swamp,
AMEN, AMEN, AND AMEN AGAIN! PROTECT THE COUNTRY! When I've applied for positions that require background checks from the state's BCI and from the FBI, guess what, I do that background checks or I don't have a job! PERIOD!!! Just because their dictator is a felon doesn't mean he can hire felons!
Look, stop being so picky wokey,
The FBI only flag up boring old criminal, espionage activities and a smattering of peadophile behaviour. We have a solid criminal at the helm, guaranteeing all his RICO friends a job, just trust the process 😂😂
It's not a good idea, but this is what people in the swing states voted for. We ALL knew what was coming in the next Trump administration but people voted under the illusion they would save $10 on their weekly grocery bill with Trump. Play stupid games...win stupid prizes!
Yeah, if you have to go through a more thorough background check to be a clerk at the Zippy Mart than to be a top level government appointee, something is amiss.
I'm amazed that everyone is talking about Gaetz as AG or RFK Jr as the head of DoH, but far fewer people are talking about a Russian asset as the director of national intelligence.

Fuck these people. Make them own it all.
And tens of millions of Americans thought it would be good and fun to see the consequences of that kind of government

They can put John Roberts in charge of hunting down the real killer if they don't like it.
You've clearly not read:
"Fascist dictatorships for Dummies"
What could possibly go wrong!

I cannot believe how anyone can do this without the FBI CIA or NSA stepping and stopping it … Lord knows Biden and the rest of the Dems won’t do shit
I wish i could read the history books in 50 years instead of living this.

Thats the the scariest appointment (so far).
