Any hope that this will be challenged in courts?

What part of resist don't they understand, we are marching, shouting, attending town halls, calling for them to have our backs, to give us some hope that they hear us, and yet again they vote to confirm.

MAGA Senate confirms another unqualified candidate on behalf of Felon47.

Ooh Ooh! Are they basic white guys with no relevant experience or education?

sageboomer.bsky.social•2 days ago

So, experience and accomplishments, that we are all being told replace DEI, don't matter here either?!?

This administration and the Senate sycophants are just s**t. This country is doomed.

Dems shouldn’t vote with the GOP for one single thing until the Trump
Admin stops breaking laws and the constitution.

99 Senators voted to confirm Rubio and look how that turned out.

carolynthechef.bsky.social•2 days ago

Unqualified for this position

But he is White, unlike the fully-qualified 4star general who was fired to create the vacancy he fills.

Laws are for Democrats

Ludicrous 🤬

So I guess I can hire someone not ascp certified to work in my lab and provide results. Cool. Good to know. (With oz running CMS, I doubt they'd care)

rasagin915.bsky.social•2 days ago

Do any of his Cabinet picks or members of his administration?

capsva.bsky.social•2 days ago

Another unqualified hire … shocker

kristinme.bsky.social•2 days ago

Whaaaaaahhht???

He won't last long in that position if he doesn't do everything Trump wants.

Certainly being White and male were crucial prerequisites for consideration. But the high ranks of the military are awash in such candidates. I suggest the real clincher was the catchy nickname.

Consider how giggly The Convicted Felon got eight years ago over Jim "Mad Dog" Mattis.

All pilots have tough sounding call signs. If he had a clue he would know it.

nordicson59n.bsky.social•2 days ago

Another DEI hire, ass kisser.

cardgrrl.bsky.social•2 days ago

No Democrats should be voting for Trump nominees.

karenollis.bsky.social•2 days ago

Kinda looks like a pencil dick.

dr-4-freedom.bsky.social•2 days ago

Pasty white guy with red hat.
Criteria:
Racist, Rapist, Speaks Russian or openly fellates tRump.

Take your pick

Will he get the golden Trump lapel pin?

1fitter.bsky.social•2 days ago

Why wouldn't they? It's what the pos wants. Bootlickers! That need voted out! Hope everyone is paying attention. Especially when the so called president of peace starts wars because he's not getting what he thinks he should have. (Hitler)
