You seem to be confusing confirmation votes with motions for unanimous consent. Senate Dems could've objected to every single motion, slowing down confirmations to a crawl. Instead, they *helped* Trump by granting virtually all of them.
Watch what they do, not what they say.

Every single Senate Democrats did, indeed, fast-track every single Trump nominee by granting unanimous consent to advance their nominations through the Senate. Any Senator can object to unanimous consent, which incurs a 3 day hold. There have been hundreds of these motions, most unopposed by Dems.

@sanders.senate.gov has granted unanimous consent to Republicans to fast-track confirmation of ALL of Trump’s nominees, enabling him to consolidate his power at light speed. He’s no different than the rest of the Senate @democrats.org.
Watch what they do, not what they say.

Apologize for not remembering everything after typing ten pages & promise to do better next week. At the individual supervisor level, it never survives a week if clients follow the advice.
This is, of course, different, as most of these emails will never be read, but maybe fed into AI for flagging.

The advice: Overshare: account for time meticulously my including bathroom breaks, and the number of hours it took to write up the stupid report you are currently writing for this exercise.

This is a classic bad manager trick/tactic used purely to invent pretext to fire someone. No one can remember everything they did each day, much less each week, so they just take what you wrote and say, "Doesn't look like it adds up to eight hours a day, you're fired."

This is how Congress takes it's power back.

Unless you're talking about actions you're taking to STOP TRUMP, don't talk at all.
Impeachment, and obstructing until we get to impeachment, are the only things I want to SEE @democrats.org DO. I don't want to hear idle talk.
Fight or resign and make way for someone will.

And what are you and Senate @democrats.org doing? Besides giving unanimous consent to fast-track every Trump nominee into office at light speed, I mean?

Given the credentials of our SecDef, easy mistake to make.

Too bad none of our elected Democrats in Congress are using any of their power like this -- well, except to help speed up votes to confirm Trump nominees, that is.

There isn't a single Democrat in Congress fighting for anything! And every single Democratic Senator has helped fast-track every single Trump nominee into office by granting unanimous consent for ALL of them!
The Democratic party is full of traitors.

Is Duffy "directly" addressing protesters if they're sequestered behind a curtain in a separate room while he talks to no one in an empty hall?

Everyone, & I mean everyone, needs to be screaming at elected officials daily, both Ds & Rs, on the phone, in person, and in public. Make them feel true fear, which we know motivates congressional Rs in particular.
It's unsavory, but it sure beats running gunfights in the streets 9 months from now.

I'm sure it was just a simple misunderstanding: they provided advice on what was allowed under the law but NCA were speaking over it.

They are all feckless cowards. Even worse, they are POLITICIANS. We all know this.
Guess what? Feckless cowards are easy to work with. You just need to make them feckless cowards in our direction, which is easy because we want the same thing they secretly want.

Impeachment.

Haha sick dunk I bet @captmarkkelly.bsky.social is a real warrior for the left and confirming more of Trump's Cabinet than most Democrats and giving Republicans unanimous consent to fast-track all of Trump's nominees so he can consolidate power at light speed is 4D chess and not total capitulation!

And simultaneously fired all of the senior JAGs. Yeah, something is definitely up and it's not good.

Yet it's never happened. Still, they respond to it. And if it works...

I mean, Republicans supposedly told their Democratic congressional colleagues that the only reason they didn't vote to indict or convict Trump was because they were getting death threats.
In other words: Republicans are responsive to violent rhetoric. Just an observation. I don't make these rules.

I promise you they aren't secretly MAGA super warriors. They are lazy aristocrats who are being fearful of Trump despite literally controlling the levers to remove him.
So make them start fearing what happens if they DON'T impeach him. This applies to the Democrats and the Republicans.

Well let's see, have any of the rest of his nominees done anything other than exactly what Trump, Musk, Project 2025, and beyond want?

No, retired O-9 who, by law, is not qualified without getting a waiver from the President. You might be confusing Lieutenant Colonel (O-5)with Lieutenant General (O-9).

It looks like Slife and Caine were at USSOCOM at the same time. So that's interesting.

@sanders.senate.gov voted to confirm two of Trump's Cabinet Secretaries and, just like the rest of Senate @democrats.org, he's given unanimous consent countless times to fast-track the confirmation votes of virtually every Trump nominee to get them into office at light speed.

Not according to the law. Please point out the national interest that you think Trump wants out of him that led him to disregard the legal prerequisites for CJCS.

Nah, they had to go because they’re not “their guys” and would push back on orders to kill protesters.

Hey guys, is this Constitutional? I didn’t see that mentioned in your post.
Also, will you be doing anything about this? I didn’t see that mentioned in your post.

Yet you keep giving Republicans unanimous consent to fast-track confirmation of Trump nominees at the speed of light. I don’t care what you say, I’m watching what you DO. STOP HELPING TRUMP YOU TRAITOR.

Oh, is anything like how you gave unanimous consent to fast-track the confirmation of nearly every Trump nominee? I think it’s more likely you’re fcking lying to us now just like you were lying to us then.

It’s been true for so long, it’s almost a law of nature now: the only strategy the @democrats.org apparently know how to apply is unilateral disarmament. So many of their voters have been exposed to this weakness for so long, they think this self-neutered, learned helplessness is being “moderate.”
