LOL Their "background checks" are loyalty checks, we all know this.

mermaid1566.bsky.social•97 days ago

Meaning no background checks

kokesthedragon.bsky.social•97 days ago

I just want anyone to actually point out the incompetence here. Like in congress. To other congress members. He didn’t know who this person is but we trust him to interact with other nations diplomatically? Can’t do research into his cabinet but he’s allowed to basically run the world? Ok boss

lauralarrecou.bsky.social•98 days ago

Sort of like they vetted Kavanaugh

so so true

Their background checks are focused not on "what can hostile vountries use to blackmail him" but on "what can we use to blackmail him".

crazycanuck2.bsky.social•98 days ago

It’s not that, the fact is they weren’t doing any background checks. It’s either that or they just don’t give a shit!

frankdelfinpupo.bsky.social•98 days ago

That's what they are telling the public.

They knew, know, and support his 3R agenda whole cloth.

Vetting requires focus and work

Kind of like the supplemental investigations from the FBI tip line for SCOTUS Beer Boy.

writaobscura.bsky.social•98 days ago

I just want to see Hegseth shake Donnie's hand.

sonofadutch.bsky.social•98 days ago

I’ve found this website called “Google” is helpful in these situations.

thabean.bsky.social•98 days ago

They all knew.

flaxponder.bsky.social•98 days ago

It was pointed out that you go with private background check companies, it would not break the law to lie whereas lying to the FBI is a punishable offense.

nulliusnverba.bsky.social•98 days ago

Whoever allegedly vetted The Dotard to begin with seems to have been content to leave the vast majority of stones conveniently unturned.

danielito411.bsky.social•98 days ago

They knew. They just thought we were too ignorant to care...

bevymart.bsky.social•98 days ago

Whatever private company they've hired for their "background checks" will simply rubber stamp whomever they're told to investigate with zero background check at all

After all, they get paid to clear #trump picks

dorianwrites.bsky.social•98 days ago

They knew. They just didn't think we'd find out. The fact that they constantly underestimate us will work in our favor

proaggressive.bsky.social•98 days ago

They probably don't even have a "transition" team by virtue of the name's connection to the trans community

scratchbrands.bsky.social•97 days ago

They ran background checks to dig up extortion material on the candidates. It's not to vet them; it's to keep them in line.

biancaariel.bsky.social•98 days ago

Background check: "Trust me bro"

easysilence7.bsky.social•97 days ago

Imaginary

sorkel3.bsky.social•98 days ago

Didn't they reject him for something in the first time around?

I suspect it's more they ignore anything in order to suckle up to Dear Leader.

spartan47.bsky.social•98 days ago

Just like the voters!

mom6.bsky.social•98 days ago

It’s fair to say that DT doesn’t care about background checks.

constanceobrien.bsky.social•98 days ago

They don't even require valid identification.

strikes30.bsky.social•98 days ago

Are they allowed to use the word "transition"?

mamabat13.bsky.social•98 days ago

It's a shit show. Run by clowns and lunatics. And nazis. Mustn't forget the nazis 🤯😱

chilangolandia.bsky.social•98 days ago

He didn’t know just like he “didn’t know” about Project 2025.

cateyezgreen.bsky.social•98 days ago

They’re not conducting background checks or even rudimentary vetting. Why bother, trump only associates with criminals.

dianemckenna.bsky.social•98 days ago

All they care about is whether the guy is loyal to Trump or not.

patricktm.bsky.social•98 days ago

They aren't doing any background checks, private or otherwise. Trump will lie about anything and everything.

lacadri1.bsky.social•98 days ago

More like they're just not doing them.

danst3.bsky.social•97 days ago

Oh - you assumed the Felon-in-Chief even waited for a background check before making and announcing his decisions! Too impulsive and childish to get anyone else's input.

suppoter.bsky.social•98 days ago

Interesting that you have all knowledge

swanadjacent.bsky.social•98 days ago

trump knows cause of course pete told him, he don’t give a f@&k! Being a kind, caring and all the good adjectives type person is a weakness to his ultimate goal!

theresep158.bsky.social•98 days ago

Trump is fully aware of who he’s choosing to surround himself with…

terils.bsky.social•98 days ago

Their ‘background checks’ probably comprised of watching old Fox videos of him.

jasind.bsky.social•98 days ago

They don’t know what vetting means.

trickledown.bsky.social•98 days ago

It’s the same care and consideration that Clarence Thomas uses on his financial disclosures

soshepersisted.bsky.social•98 days ago

They lie all the damn time.

littlejimmy115.bsky.social•98 days ago

They knew

captainobvvious.bsky.social•98 days ago

Don’t forget…Trump’s “transition team” all think that transition is actually a hyphenated word: trans-ishin, with the root word “trans.” That SCARES them, so they are AFRAID!

olisaeloka23.bsky.social•98 days ago

First rule: Don't believe anything they say.

imyourwrath1.bsky.social•98 days ago

Ya I call BS on that

cornholio4u.bsky.social•98 days ago

The only checking they are doing is their "privates"
Trump wants no STDs in his frat parties

freshbeef.bsky.social•98 days ago

BS
SA is a pre-requisite for any cabinet position in this administration. They knew.

jaxgol.bsky.social•98 days ago

Or, and I’m just spitballing here, they’re not actually doing any kind of background checks.

basuradeldesierto.bsky.social•98 days ago

Only the best, though

thefilibusted.bsky.social•98 days ago

Didnt you know, its the tried and true "Trust Me Bro" system.
Totally 100% fail proof. Any claims after this has been implemented are false flags and lies by the haters.

quinners10.bsky.social•98 days ago

Or they just don't care... because they have put such scepticism on the media and the court that they think they can skirt it...listen he said she said is over. And never really was now they want he said he said....what has always been but now it's just out loud.

nqcowboy.bsky.social•98 days ago

The only background check they're doing is the fealty test to their fuhrer.

mgsjar.bsky.social•98 days ago

They had the evidence of Gaetz purchasing sex from minors in their possession before even nominating him. That tells me they want scumbags.
