Man we are so fucked
Going exactly as Putin planned. The U.S. should be a third rate, collapsed shit-hole country in record time.
You mean most of it isn't already?
Accused by no less than Mitt Romney.
I realize he's become persona non grata in the GOP these days, but that's still saying something.
I think the new Majority Leader still respects Romney, though. He (and the head of whatever committee gets to approve this nomination) are now in a pickle. They know the harm that she will do to the country, but have also promised to get Der Gröpenführer's picks through quickly. I wouldn't want to be them.
Don't worry about them. They'll fall into line so very quickly. Again.
Don't be so sure. These Senators know how much power they have, and their 6 year terms guarantee that the ones elected this year will have to deal with life in the next Administration, whatever that happens to be.
I think Trump is expecting Gabbard's and Gaetz's nominations to fail in the hopes that he can get the Fox News guy in charge of the Pentagon. There seems to be a lot of jockeying around regarding the military, that scares me more than what Gaetz can do at the head of a department that despises him.
These Senators know how much power they have
right, none. the fix has been in for a while now, this train's brakes have failed and all we can do is hang on.
Maybe you're right. But if the fix were really in, Rick Scott would have been the majority leader.
I think thune shows exactly how little they are going to matter. the gop panicked since they caught the truck and had to do a secret ballot to get the establishment, next in line guy in place. if the fix wasn't in, they could have held a regular vote. instead all we can do now is hope that the party that has no spine, suddenly grows one.
He's essentially promised to cancel sessions to allow for recess appointments, which don't have to be confirmed by the Senate.
Not surprising since this could also be the headline:
Trump ~~'s pick for top intel job~~ has been accused of 'traitorous' parroting of Russian propaganda
We are heading for total collapse, very fast
I hope that every last trump voter is held to collective responsibility for whatever atrocities lie ahead. After the Nazis were defeated, Germans were shown posters like this one that said "These Atrocities, Your Fault!"
Well of course. What else is new?
USA is now (soon) a vasal state of Russia.
Well as soon as he has what he likes he doesn't really need Putin anymore.
The thing with greedy fucked is that they will turn on eachother the moment they feel they gain something from it
A country with a GDP around the same as Australia. What a fucking embarrassment.
The memes makes themselves now don't they.
We live in a Memeality
Man I hope she's playing the long con
Deny all you want, your actions will speak louder.
