Its like interviewing for a Job that has already been wired for someone so the employer goes through the motions so it appears LEGAL. Democrats just go along with the charade as you’re doing. These cream puff Republicans would confirm Satan at the demands of TRUMP. PRESS STOP WITH THE BS REPORTING.
ALL PRO-RUSSIANS&WEIRDOS TO END FBI'S, ETC'S INDEPENDENCY MUST 'NOT' BE CONFIRMED as Putin obviously is trying to 'ab'use our country to weaken NATO via feeding his 'pro's and extremist nazi lover rightists to trigger INTERCULTURAL CONFLICTS hoping slaughters of Jews, Muslims, etc. in Europe too!
The 34-count criminally charged president elect that gets to appoint these types of positions is discusting! Merrick Garland, you just F'd this country big time!
As a nation we stand on the decks of Titanic. Aware we’ve hit an iceberg. That we’re taking in water at a pace that leads to inevitable disaster. That survival requires immediate action. Yet as I scan the throngs of people seeking direction, a voice of hope, a leader. To my surprise, there are none.
Behold our American exceptionalism!
A nation so exceptionally steeped in xenophobia that we believe the individual immigrant poses more of a security risk and is in need of more “extreme vetting” than our President, Cabinet members, White House Advisor or Attorney General. I'm ashamed.
Tough questions but will straight, honest answers be forthcoming? Hegseth is underqualified but will get the rubber stamp as will other nominees. Frightening. RFK Jr? He has no business in the realm of health. Period.
Rubio will sail through, senators generally give one of their own an easy ride and all of this GOP colleagues will certainly vote for him and probably most Democrats on the grounds that he's the least worst. Bondi might run into trouble, but it doesn't matter. The GOP will rubberstamp all of them.
Not from any Republicans at least. Maybe there will be a senator like Markwayne Mullin in these hearings who will ask the nominees to tell us what they love about their spouse.
Pam Bondi allowed mortgage lenders to foreclosure illegally in the state of Florida. This happened during the 2008-2014 real estate crisis. She just sat on her hands and did nothing.
Look at history to discover how beginning fascist governments create and install radicalized unqualified people into key governmental departments to implement policies designed for repression and obedience.
In light of the fact that the Smith Report confirms that TRUMP himself should have been nullified from the Office he will be occupying, it only makes sense that ALL of his nominees are unworthy too. NONE of them should be confirmed, ZERO, ZILCH. If only the GOP were true Patriots & not COWARDS.

Did Trump design a DEI spree,
For unqualified extremists to be?
Where whiteness stood as the sole degree,
And merit lost to loyalty?
