Trump will recess Congress to get his appts through as recess appointments.

be any confirmations. They will be installed no matter what.

And they know he's dumber than 9 roosters.
He's not on the same page as the few R senators more interested their power than lobbyist money. They would rather someone smart and venal, not greedy and dumb.

Haele

Not one repug will go against trump.

will march in lockstep to confirm him.

And of course we dutifully follow the script.

Even if these people get through, it’s all just for show, they’re idiots and misfits. The people to worry about are the Heritage Foundation and Federalist Society people behind the scenes who will be pulling the strings. These people really know what they’re doing, they’re the real danger. Not an imbecile like Matt Gaetz.

this POS. In any event, it should be an interesting hearing.

He wouldn't need to do this unless he knew that some of his nominees will likely be too toxic for even some Republicans. Gaetz is a good example of one who has a good chance of having enough opposition from Republicans to not make it through a confirmation vote. It's a little tiring reading all of these "of course, no Republican will vote against any nominee" posts. Do these people not pay attention? Republicans already voted against Trump's pick for senate majority leader. Most nominees will get confirmed easily. But he can't help himself and will continue to choose some of the worst cabinet nominees in the history of our country. A few of the worst of the worst may have some trouble.

Then watch his Adam's apple betray him.

threat there, if trump wants them they'll be approved. Weren't there several senators that voted against impeachment due to death threats? If they had any courage at all we wouldn't be in this mess right now

It will happen.

Trump demands Senate allow him to circumvent hearings to appoint cabinet - The Guardian Trump urges support from Rick Scott, John Thune and John Cornyn for ‘recess appointments’ while US Senate is paused

Any senator who impedes Trump's cabinet appointments is putting themselves and their families on a very special list. All will be approved, likely by wide margins.

He may only last a few Scaramucci's. He's a sex trafficker, for god's sake. Abusing children. What could go wrong, will go wrong.

It's a loyalty test. If Gaetz gets through, he knows the Senate will follow his agenda and he has an AG that will do whatever he wants.

If he fails to get through, it makes it look like Senate Republicans are doing their job and he'll know who to target in future legislative battles. And they will just approve the next loyalist he nominates.

There's already video interviews out there saying they will.
