Yup

You don’t bury an ethics report that would exonerate Trump’s pick.

You don’t skip FBI background checks unless his nominees have something to hide.

See what they’re doing? Please tell me you see what they’re doing.

Criminals, drug addicts, white supremacists, and Russian assets would seem to comprise most of Dolt-47's staffing choices. In other words, his peeps.

Which makes me wonder: Who is in the wings to step in if his first line of sycophants and idiots can't get confirmed?

Trump is not a serious person. We toljaso. And yes, I expect to be saying it a lot.

One has to wonder if that is Trump's strategy. Put forth nominees that are so extreme they have no chance of getting approved. Then when he puts forth candidates who are still extreme, but not as extreme as those first put up for nomination, that the Senate confirms them as the lesser of two evils.

The House is in his pocket. The Senate is next.

Will Trump have the Senate stump broke before the coronation? Sounds like a forecasting and betting question.

Cribbing from Apocalypse Now, but you may be overthinking this. TFG may be doing it just to demonstrate his power over whatever his party has become. "I don't see any method at all, sir." Stalin used to get his kicks making better and smarter men slavishly agree when he spouted absurdities.

Pigpen51, didn't he do some of that in 2016? It would be a smart (?) move for Trump to put a swastika armband wearing nominee out first. Then the one that just has a confederate flag flying at home and a closet full of white robes wouldn't look so bad. Trump does know how to manipulate by constant delays and stalling, like in court in court, and exhausting those who have to deal with him until they give up and he gets what he wants.

I like "You were warned!".

And you did it anyway.

Nah, they'll all get in. He wants to recess appoint them so they don't make a big splash in the media (he lives for TV) and so he can once and for all claim complete ownership of his party. They might ruin the country? Who cares!
