The nail in the coffin of our republic and democracy.

Beyond horrifying.

Not shocked but very saddened

Arrrrrrrrr. Fools.

Thanks GOP senators! When the building starts burning we already know you F-ed up! Need 4 no votes, get 2, way to Fn go!

I never thought I'd see a day where J. Edgar Hoover may lose the title of The Worst FBI Director in History. Yet, here we are in 2025, just waiting to see how horrific this train wreck becomes.

noncynic.bsky.social•1 day ago

The FBI won't take this lying down.

Patel, like all the other Trump cabinet cranks, quacks, and misfits, has no idea what he is doing, what he's getting himself into.

FAFO applies to him too.

we’re fukd

This regime is a dictatorship. It is cosplaying that it is constitutional for the very short term. It intends to disregard “coequal” branches entirely. It is collapsing the union. It must be removed by any means necessary.

We build an unstoppable force for good.

No quit, no quarter, 24/7.

Complete and utter disaster.

And the retribution campaign continued unabated.

I'm not saying he is but that guy looks like a mass murderer in waiting.

mhamlen.bsky.social•2 days ago

Your country can just go to hell. Criminal regime, just like Russia.

ajparkes.bsky.social•2 days ago

Trump now has every lever of law enforcement at his disposal. He will use them to persecute his enemies.

ewigeliberal.bsky.social•2 days ago

[...] "voted, 51-49, to confirm Kash Patel to be FBI Director. Collins and Lisa Murkowski joined all 47 Democrats in voting no on Patel’s nomination."

Why did Senator McConnell vote Yes?

bhamilton001.bsky.social•2 days ago

Perhaps the biggest mistake of all.

doctordeeisme.bsky.social•2 days ago

His internalized racism will be on full display. But……he won’t get as
Much latitude as his fairer skinned counterparts. 🤮

somesteve.bsky.social•2 days ago

I mean, is a potential draconian circle complete? Sure.

But he just got in. Will these new, weighty responsibilities alter his approach? We'll see.

tulliuscicero43.bsky.social•2 days ago

He's there to destroy the rule of law and he knows it, so no.

Wonder why Democrats can’t block nominations as the republicans did

stephaniejones.com•2 days ago

Republicans did not block cabinets and senior level appointments when they were in the minority.

The appointments they blocked were very different and not in play right now.

Senate minorities have next to no tools to block these nominations. The Dems used all the tools available to them.

bgmck.bsky.social•2 days ago

Don't these cowardly Republicans who voted people like Katel and RFKjr in not realized that it won't be long until they will not be needed... for anything?
As for Mitch, he could have stopped this 2 impeachments ago.

saintmaggie.bsky.social•2 days ago

What the fuck, Mitch McConnell?

I'm in the UK. Can you explain what implications this has for America, and dare I say, the world?

neilturkewitz.bsky.social•2 days ago

Worse than a disaster. A cruel joke. And that GOP Senators voted for him will haunt them for all of their days. I hope none of them ever sleep again knowing what they have done…other than Tuberville who of course has no idea of what he has done.

nuttyhutter.bsky.social•2 days ago

Nobody, unless completely insane, compromised or threatened with un-alivement would vote for this guy. Or if they did “willfully”, they are in on it.

So tomorrow the J. Edgar Hoover FBI building will be a museum?

a hot mess. how embarrassing

bullwinkles.bsky.social•2 days ago

All GOP officials are collaborators in Nazism.

An absolute travesty.

rlgardner190.bsky.social•2 days ago

Sigh! Yeah predictable, but yes, a complete diaster.

pattiagood.bsky.social•2 days ago

Those yes votes are complicit in his actions. We need a class action law suit

heyhellokaren.bsky.social•2 days ago

complete and total.

shieldscartoons.bsky.social•2 days ago

And the Mighty Revengers have assembled.

dawningawake.bsky.social•2 days ago

Literally no bottom that they would stoop to. Matt Gaetz probably feels stupid for dropping his bid. Republicans were never going to vet the cabinet choices seriously

tagalong-smw.bsky.social•1 day ago

Senate republicans should be ASHAMED. They are cowardly and endangering this country. This falls squarely on their shoulders!

Traitors gonna trait

anantesq.bsky.social•2 days ago

So much for all that time Dems spent “creat[ing] space for Rs to oppose Trump nominees,” only to find out (repeatedly) that Rs are NOT going to oppose Trump’s nominees. I mean, who could’ve possibly seen that coming?
