Why did Schumer wait until the Qatar fiasco to put “hold” on…not from the very beginning…just like Tupperville and McConnell did..nothing like closing the barn door after the cows left
I don’t know why they can’t understand this simple thing. Don’t approve any of his appointees. Stand on morals, values, and principles. Maybe they don’t have them either. Cory Booker seems to have misplaced his.
They will vote how their billionaire masters tell them to. Just enough will side with Repubs to ensure the ruling class gets their way. While the rest voice their faux outrage to keep the left vs right distraction in place. D and R serve the same overlords.
And the ones who continue to do so disqualify themselves from the Democratic presidential nomination, including Cory Booker who just voted for Charles Kushner!
Newsom, Whitmer, and Booker should be on no one’s presidential bingo card.
If our elected representatives are voting to seat nominees selected by a fascist, they need to be told by we the people, aka the government, in the form of recalls, primaries and zero financial support. 202 224-3121
The only way to stand up to a bully is to say NO. Democrats need to say NO to anything Trump and the Republicans want. Hesitating or caving to a bully only strengthens him.
They should be all-out to stop/slow those votes. Forget courtesy and hopes of bipartisanship. @democrats.senate.gov, you think your GOP "colleagues" would play nice in the same position? What about the past decade of SCOTUS nomination blocking and assorted f-ery makes you think they would? Wake up!
They also don't need to vote for unanimous consent or cloture either, but here we are
Almost as if they don't actually have any interest in stopping or even slowing down this fascist coup that they keep crossing the aisle and voting with MAGA to implement
They also don't need to vote for sending bombs to be dropped on starving children. But they still do that as well. Maybe there is an ethical crisis in the Democratic & Republican Parties. One that is not resolved by covered by partisan fighting.
I get all the angst and disappointment. I would rather have information from the elected officials to help educate voters about these decisions. The ones getting paint-balled, like Booker, Whitmer, Newsome, Slotkin have also done millions of great things, taken risks and they should be heard.
Apparently Dems do need to if the appointee is their backer no matter what their integrity is. Jared’s father is a racist and a criminal and it only mattered to Booker to repay him for financially supporting his campaigns. Booker just kissed his political future down the drain. We need to wake up
These appointees he's selecting are "yes men and yes women" whom will act at his orders. To many of them this a moment of popularity for them to be in the spotlight. Those that he select are selected from an specific list held at the hands of much more powerful people than Donald himself.
Ever. EVER. No more Mr Nice Guy. Time to grow a pair and go for the jugular. So sick of trying to get along and sternly worded letters. That’s a thing of the past and Dems better figure it out in a big hurry.
Under mormal circumstances that might work, but perpetuates gov. Inefficiency. In the current case, don't vote against them because of who appointed them, vote ahainst them because they are incompetent morons with too much money.
If we certified their candidacy with the 5-point qualification test, none of them would qualify anyway. 1) citizenship, 2) background check 3) psych eval. 4) cognizance and 5) IQ test

2025 - #TRUMP accepts a $400M Plane which will be given to him after he leaves office
This man is #evil guys & is gambling with the lives of US citizens
And then we hear Corey Booker voting for Kushner's felon dad as Ambassador.
Everything should grind down to a total halt.

Booker's glory was fun while it lasted.
I’m tired of democrats, they are so weak it’s sickening
Dems need to stand united and vote NO for all nominees & bills. Better yet, block all of the R candidates & bills.
And Lil Marco, with a little power, has become a Napoleon wannabe.
