Republicans who are not interested in information pertaining to the character, ability and performance of nominees to the Cabinet of POTUS are making their talking point that government does not work become manifest, by not doing their duty. They are not serving nor protecting and absolutely not defending The Constitution against all enemies foreign and domestic. These elected people take an oath and get paid to do this vetting and to hold hearings, they need to bloody well make it happen, or we will all pay hell for this dereliction. It is a violation of the oath they take and they become complicit in an ongoing insurrection.
Where do I join the counter-insurrection?

(57,545 posts)The entire US government has folded like a lawn chair for Putin and Trump.
So did a majority of the US electorate.

(25,257 posts)What happened? They wonder how Hitler rose to power but when our top cop did nothing to stop Trump before it was too late, what happened? You and I, well at least I, was almost banned here for trying to warn people. Some people still defend Garland.
Congress will give Putin and Musk all they ask for.
Enemies of Trump will be imprisoned or killed to set an example for others to toe the line.
I see how Germans got Hitler, they voted for him, just like Americans did.

(57,545 posts)We almost got tossed out and stuff deleted trying to warn people about what they are now posting themselves.
Being ahead of the curve is not a blessing, it is a curse.
The entire US government gave/will give Trump every thing he wants.
The congress, judicial system, judges, entire bureaucracy, and electorate.
Just caved right in front of our eyes.
All the corporations will do the same.
The world's billionaires have aligned with the global autocrats.
American billionaires and politicians did the same.
For the same reason: total permanent power and access to all national resources and assets.

I hope freespeechtv stays on the air for a while.

We will just have to keep reading between the lines and being alert.
Yes everyone is going to be toned down for our new Dear Leader.

(18,878 posts)Although the 24/7 trump fest probably has many thinking hes president already. Were going to be talking these nominations for the next 60 days. Im sick of hearing about them already. And at the 60 day mark hearings begin. None of these will be voted on until February. But yet 24/7 until then. I hate that. No wonder people ignore politics. So repetitive.

(57,545 posts)Look around you.
The entire US govt has folded like a lawn chair and so has the US electorate.
Everyone is tugging their forelocks, bowing and scraping to our new overlords and masters.
It is quite possible there will be no hearings at all.
It is a done deal. Congress will rubber stamp whatever Trump wants.
What Trump wants Trump gets.

(5,515 posts)in favor of their fuhrer... they could have impeached and convicted him before and after the insurrection and failed to do so, and so many other things.

This was done on purpose.

(25,257 posts)For a long time. When Musk bought Twitter I kept posting that he was more dangerous than Fox.
Putin and others probably helped Musks funding.
It was so obvious, why would Musk want to buy Twitter except to help Putin control the United States.
