Let's hope they're successful in turning down Pam Bondi as well whose only claim to fame is in taking a bribe from the 🍊 idiot to drop the fraud investigation of tRump University. May not be in same category as sex, drugs & rock&roll, but taking bribes is significant in itself.

A reminder that she also once stole a dog. Seriously.

My faith in them is lost, Trump has had way too many people caving in advance. Their one and only vertebrae was used up on Gaetz.

My god, that picture of Matt. He looks like a villain from 1990's Dick Tracy movie!!!

Yep. Their one ethics card was used -easily- on Gaetz. The rest will sail through. Not being a cynic just a pragmatist.

jillphys1905.bsky.social•39 days ago

It also shows Trump will nominate you to watch you fail.

jillphys1905.bsky.social•39 days ago

Senators should not secede power to the President. Vote your judgment. Trump would likely respect you more.

jimmar1.bsky.social•40 days ago

The problem is people have forgotten how bad all his nominees are. MSM finding that they are not as bad as Gaetz. If not criminal they are not qualified. DonOld’s hacks.

You’re more optimistic than I am.

You're funny and I assume you hit the snooze a few too many times in the last 8 years. Gaetz is all you're probably gonna get and any few that pass through can and will do a lot of damage. Each appointee is set to do 100% of Trumps bidding.

The Senate did squatto.

The House Ethics Committee delivered the fatal blow and only bcz too many House members hated him personally.

Senate Dems have no idea how to grill her to corner her.

They will fail.

Senate, please remember, just because these nominees aren't as bad as Gaetz, it doesn't mean their qualified based on that fact.

tomegraves.bsky.social•40 days ago

Those who are chosen, says a lot about who is doing the choseing.

jamfam18.bsky.social•39 days ago

“Can”—but will the Rs have the stamina and the backbone to do the right thing? Precedence says “unlikely “. Gaetz situation was an outlier.

dustyk504.bsky.social•40 days ago

There should be no hearings or votes until all of the info is in on them.

ravenna321.bsky.social•40 days ago

Unfortunately I feel like it was more personal hatred for Gaetz that did him in rather than a success story for guardrails. I think the wet noodles in Congress will do as they're told, guardrails be damned.

havadood.bsky.social•40 days ago

Someone, @whitehouse.senate.gov perhaps - please ask wannabe Comandante Hegseth to take off his jacket, roll up his sleeves and, one by one, explain each and every of his extremist christo-fascist tatoos to the American people on the record, especially the ones in the original 1930's German.

dustyk504.bsky.social•40 days ago

Please Democratic senators refuse to let these sleazeballs out of committee until the vetting process is complete.

bslkuye1.bsky.social•39 days ago

„Gaetz this beeeetch“ sounds like a fun new way to reject a nom. Jus sayin

emilyxdeann.bsky.social•40 days ago

Will be interesting if anything is really changing. I have a bad feeling…

americafailed.bsky.social•40 days ago

I don't think it was the Senate being responsible. It was more Republicans trying to save face after their president-elect nominated a known Pedo with an investigation to prove it.
