It won't be long until the GOP/Maga Senate shows their true blue colors.
Will they vote on behalf of the good of the USA or as Trump Loyaltists?
If the vote as Trump loyaltists, more than half of the US will make things very difficult for them.
But remember, everyone, the Right wants to ban trans people in bathrooms to protect women 👍 These two takes are logically consistent and in no way should provide cognitive dissonance for anyone who believes it
This argument is flawed due to ad hominem attacks on Hegseth, lack of evidence for the claims, and guilt by association. It conflates unrelated issues and relies on emotional rhetoric rather than substantive critique.
Yes but that’s what Trump likes! Too bad for the USA and all of its citizens. But they voted for him, so ya kinda get what you asked for. Unfortunately it’s not over yet! 4 more years of listening to the rhetoric and watching it all unfold.
It’s as if Agent Orange asked Jr to compile a list of the least qualified and most unfit candidates possible. As they all do a few lines and laugh about it all.
The guy who believes the press is the enemy of the people. The one wants to prosecute all the agents/enemies who lied about 2020 being won by Biden? Them? This might suck so bad….
I'm having a really hard time being optimistic about the future.
It seems true that Trump is choosing nothing but completely outlandish cabinet choices so that, no matter what, some of these psychos will be normalized in comparison to some other more insidious psychos.
I genuinely think that “fuck women” was one of the aspects that won Trump the election so I don’t think that part is going to make anyone with any ability to stop this bat an eye unfortunately.
Nothing in her statement says she did not write that memo and did not mean it at the time. I do not blame her, family dynamics are tricky sometimes. But she wrote it.
with him, its always like a late-night informercial selling some nonsensical shit:"but wait there is more if your order now you'll get this moron & this idiot free of charge" ..... well NOT actually
Trump would nominate Ghislaine Maxwell for director of his new cabinet position, the Department of Childhood Genitalia Inspection, if he could pardon her.
Even if you were guilty of it? I would do it in one hot minute if my son was a sex offender or more. I didn't raise him to be like that, and if he is; he's not mine anymore.
They will probably all get approved because corrupt democrats. Gabbard may get a few republicans doubting. But then you need all democrats on their side. Anywho, plenty of sycophants in stock.
🤦♂️ It is so depressing that we have to sit here and watch the destruction of the United States. I just hope we can stop this national embarrassment before it’s too late.
We don’t just have to sit here. Call your Senators today and leave a message. Then, see what elections are coming up in your area, everything from school board to state Supreme Court, and get out there and vote.
Pete’s mom raised him, watched him become this, and now pretends to be shocked. Lady, your vote got exactly what you paid for.
QAnon running the FBI? Perfect symmetry. Those who cheered on the bonfire will finally get to feel the heat. Burn, baby, burn - but with a patriotic flair!
it's time to see if our system can hold for five years. next time the DNC needs to not use super delegates to pick presidential candidates. that was a huge complaint over here in Ohio.
Ohio is a mixed/swing state, Dems had 43% of the vote. actual red states it's 33% or less of the vote is democrat. the issue in Ohio is there is jerrymandering that even the supreme court has gotten at the republicans for. three times in history Ohio didn't vote for the winner.
While the prospect is truly terrifying, I am having a real difficult time in caring about it anymore . Like yea , there is a comet hurling towards earth , I can’t make it unhurl
I'm actually torn between outrage over how awful these picks are, and relief that they are not more capable or competent. My hope is that they will prove to be too dumb to be particularly effective.
Pakman heard it from a friend who heard it from a friend who heard it from his neighbors cleaning lady's sister's mother who heard it from another who she was messing around with.
From what I've seen, one of his goals, beyond the destruction of the FBI, is vengeance against those who have spoken out against DT and other right-wing wing nuts. This is a dangerous man.
Didn’t mean to come over so serious man. Just the way I’m seeing the next 4 years panning out. Let’s just hope we make it through is and Trump doesn’t invoke and bloody nuclear war. Have a great evening
She recanted -that’s all senate repubs need to ignore it. During his 2nd marriage he had a child with his lover and was investigated for sexual assault. His 1st marriage ended due to infidelity.We know he doesn’t see women as equals. If we knew none of this, we’d still know he’s not fit for this job
1) nominate someone who will be completely unsuitable.
2) Force Congress into "block at all costs"/endless debate
3) Recess appointment of the same idiot or someone even worse
Last time Trump tried to show the world he was serious and appointed qualified people. This time, a cast of clowns who will do exactly as he says, the more unqualified the better. Turn all government and law into a farce- the better to exact revenge, grift and hide his own incompetence. Strap in.
I fear it will just keep getting worse and worse David.
Trump wants to make sure they do not tell him no.
He has learned from his mistakes which is more than I can say for the Democrats.
IF there is another election, who will they pick?
Same old same old bull shit.
Because of a propaganda machine spewing lies and bullshit 24/7,stupid Americans voted in a monster. I guess they must suffer greatly before they understand how big a mistake they made. We are in for a horror story for 4 years.
Trump re-posted thousands of Q-anon posts leading up to the last election. Thousands. And yet, here we are. So I don't hold much hope that our GOP Senators wont have their lips firmly placed on Dummy's ass.
World's biggest democracy is becoming a very corrupt Hungry like country. Hopefully, this doesn't turn into a terrible movement like Nazi Gemany, Moeist China, or Soviet Communism.
All I get from this is the (or some) United States Army Special Forces (Green Barrettes) aren't as honorable as they picture themself. How serious does the Army take adultery?
Penelope Hegseth made the accusation in an email to her son in 2018, amid his contentious divorce. She said on Friday that she regretted the email and had apologized to him. So .. uch right.
It's pretty clear the swing voters don't care about this nor the rhetoric. The messaging needs to be away from this pointing finger and calling out bs. It didn't work during the Biden or Kamalas campaign. Dems need to wake up.
I mean the Q-anoners will go hog wild up until nothing happens like always, since everybody knows his role will be to erase all remaining Epstein evidence
@davidpakman.bsky.social why are all the Trumpists on Twitter and Facebook saying Bluesky is a safe haven for pedophiles? Is it because they’re trying to ruin the reputation of the app or maybe the algorithm is showing them what they want to see.
I tend to lean towards the algo shows them what they want to see. Look at the company their leaders all keep. They also told on themselves during the TikTok hearings, not understanding how algorithms populate when they keep engaging with scantily clad children. 🤢
Well, if you just keep presenting enough loonies, then congress will eventually pass a bunch of them. Most due to the 'this loonie is better than the previous' rule.
He may not get all of his first choices, but he'll get his loonymistration.
How do we make it stop? And how do we make things normal again after it stops? is this the way it’s going to be from now on because we’ve become numb? Or will the Democrats be the adults in the room?
This was shady reporting. Let preface this by saying I despise hegseth. His mom stated that she wrote that in anger over the collapse of his second marriage. She stated she was in an emotional state and regrets her comment. Pulling up private family disputes is not a winning strategy.
If your own mom speaks out against your egregious behavior, it’s time for some introspection. I hope Pete gets to that point before he assumes his cabinet position - if it gets to that point for him.

I see it as an honour.
Putin is banking everything on this.

Yes, that is where we are! :(
Need to get them in production before 20 Jan though so I can undercut the market ;)
Are there no better people
