Listen not to what they say but watch what they do.
Merkowski might stand on a no, but McConnell and Collins have no such moral fortitude. McConnell knows he's almost gone, and Collins has no real backbone.
If Mitch and the Pearl-clutchers are going to grow a spine, now is as good a time as any, I guess.
I won’t believe it til I see it, but, it’s a nice thought.
About time DEMS ARE STANDING UP AGAINST THIS NONSENSE. DEMOCRATSHOULD BE RAGING AGAINST THIS ADMINISTRATION. DEMS HAVE GOT TO START SPEAKING UP. SPEAK DAILY, loud and clear. We must be heard.
Mitch is Senator to my state of Kentucky and eats at the restaurants we go to. Next time I see him, and I have occasionally, I am going to give him a blistering accountability talk
Hegseth, Gabbard, and Patel have no business in government. None of them are qualified for the position they are nominated for. These people pose a grave risk to national security.
McConnell is the ultimate coward and will never stand his ground. It is directly because of him Trump was not impeached either time and therefore he ensure the rise of the MAGA party and death of the Republican Party
We need 4 republicans to vote "no". Three republicans and 47 democrats means its a 50-50 tie. VP Vance will be the tiebreaker and vote in favor of confirmation.
That MF got what he wanted. Roe repealed. It’s time for him to retire. He won, he needs to take his shitty, unpopular, christofacist, non-medical win, and leave.
The evil will continue to rot him from the inside out.
Trump will call Susan Collins in and she will say Pete has learned from his mistakes. Then she will be deeply disappointed when he proves he hasn’t.
Wash, rinse, repeat.
We have a secret here in Kentucky.
MAGA takes Mitch McConnell to Fort Knox and tells him he can have all that gold if he shows up one more time, one more day to enable trump evil deeds.
It seems to work. They see good and become animated.
What purpose does it serve to crush another man under your feet standing in a sewer when, at the end of the day, you're still standing in the same god damn sewer as the rich white man walks by and laughs at both of you? Put that man on your shoulders and help him out so he can reach back to you.
Please, please, please let this news be legit. They cannot allow that sock puppet to Putin and the other ruthless dictators to be confirmed for any kind of position within that f*cking administration. She's as unhinged as that motherf*cking orange-faced a$$hole!!!
Dare we even have a smidgen of hope they will actually follow through on what they say? If trump has time to get to them and threaten them it will all go down the drain.
Not true. Those 3 would result in a tie which VP Vance can break.
Also, only Murkowski & Collins are one record. If McConnell Joined them he'd need to bring another with him.
Speculatively, Mitch would keep his powder dry if he couldn't get another to Senator come along.
I hate to say this. But isn't it Murkowski and Collins who always say 'no" until they say 'yes'?
They seem to like the attention until they get a talking to by Mike Johnson.
I wish they were sincere this time.
Bets anyone?
She just needs 3 Democrats critical of the National Security state. That shouldn't be hard. Warner, Sanders and Ro Khanna could put her over. I would rather have Tulsi in there than someone who is fine with spying on Americans, especially in the Trump 2.0 era.
An Iraq War veteran and Senator is only asked to prove their loyalty to the US if they are against regime change. I'm not a fan of Gabbard but I rather have her in there over another Rubio type appointment. She is preferable over any other candidate Trump will put forward.
Being a war veteran and/or a senator is not enough to warrant zero scrutiny. Chelsea Manning is a war veteran, too, but I wouldn't want her heading up national intelligence, either. Gabbard is a Russian asset. Full stop. That alone renders her completely inappropriate for the role.
McConnell needs to grow a pair and oppose Hegseth as well. Even with his capacity for hypocrisy, party over country, and screwing the system, he does in his own snide and cynical way, care about the country. In that regard he *can be* an adult, and now is one of the times he needs to be.
They’re holding out until they get something in return. That’s how our government works now. Nothing happens until everyone walks away from the table with money in their pocket.
Yes they have. They all think they will be the only to ride the bus instead of being thrown under. Not great students of history. Or anything else for that matter
It’s absurd that she is even being considered. They are just messing with us and giving us false hope like they did numerous times when the orange man was in office. We are going to rise up against their BS

Will believe it when he votes no
He knows trump will throw him in prison or just murder him Putin style.
He’s a coward.
All of them are
The evil will continue to rot him from the inside out.

So tired of magat games!

And Fetterman will probably vote for him, the bum

But it’s probably true. The MAGA in him will be revealed very soon.
I won't hold my breath on McConnell. One word from Trump and he'll piss his pants and bow down.
I trust Murkowski if she says she will, but Collins and McConnell? Believe it when I see it.
JD Vance is the tie breaker
