US Elections (& Politics) :)

Senate Republicans confirm more than 100 Trump nominees as government shutdown continues​


Senate Republicans confirmed a staggering tranche of President Donald Trump’s nominees on Tuesday as the government shutdown continues.

Lawmakers voted along party lines to confirm the batch of 107 of Trump’s nominees, a move that whittled down the remaining pending nominees on the Senate’s calendar to double digits. It also came as the upper chamber was deadlocked in the midst of a government shutdown, during which floor votes have largely been dedicated to trying to reopen the government.

The slate of confirmed nominees included many of Trump’s top allies and former candidates that he hand-picked to run in previous elections.

Republicans opted to change confirmation rules to allow a simple majority of votes to advance large swathes of nominees in response to Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer, D-N.Y., and his caucus’ blockade of Trump's picks that lasted nearly nine months into his presidency.

Which means the next administration can do it too. And the one after that…

She sounded more like a teenage girl refusing to admit a lie than an AG.

She did get a number if one-liner zingers in to distract the hopelessly gullible cult members, but she didn’t answer many questions.

Oops...

Marjorie Taylor Greene just complicated the GOP’s shutdown messaging

She emphasized that she disliked Obamacare and even the concept of insurance as a whole. But she warned that failing to extend the subsidies would make insurance unaffordable to many Americans — including her own adult children.

“I’m carving my own lane. And I’m absolutely disgusted that health insurance premiums will DOUBLE if the tax credits expire this year,” Greene said, adding: “Not a single Republican in leadership talked to us about this or has given us a plan to help Americans deal with their health insurance premiums DOUBLING!!!”

Say what you want about US Attorney General Pam Bondi, but this woman has a HUGE SET ON HER. Yes, I get it...Epstien Files...blah, blah. Not talking about that, talking about how she stands up to the Demonturds. Bully for her!

My brother and I always get into it. He is SUPPOSEDLY a Demonturd, because our parents were. Hates Trump....blames Trump for inflation, high gas prices, etc, etc. But when I ask him when did inflation start to rise he shuts his stupid mouth.

When I start putting out the facts he just gets angry and changes the subject. Its not even about him being a Demontrud, because he really isn't. Its all about misinformation and ignorance.

President Trump hasn't even had a Year in office yet, OMG, people need to give the economy time. FFS, the country let Biden wreck if for 4 years, lets at least give President Trump 2 years to try to un-fuck it.

I'm not even a quote-unquote MAGA member. Heck, I even changed my registration recently from Republican to Independent. Perhaps everything under MAGA and Trump isn't going perfectly like some people want but given what we were faced with it's refreshing to see things are slowly changing. Trying to stop a run away train just might not be pretty and people might have differing thoughts on the best way.

Yeah...Epstein, arrests, accountability, coverups, blah, blah, blah...etc,etc...do some people have to be sooo miserable because they didn't get what they wanted for Christmas when it's only been 9 months and it's not even Christmas yet. I'd like to know what these miserable people have personally accomplished these past 9 months other than constant beotching and belly aching.

Just caught the clip of Bondi giving both barrels to Sinister Durbin, Sinister Blumenthal, Sinister Padilla and the rest of those anti-American smug clowns. Brilliant!

That’s a good politician.
Unfortunately she’s paid to be the Attorney General. Fox News gotcha sound bites isn’t what she was hired for

Epstein was only one of 6-8 major legal issues she punted and refused to answer .

She’s supposed to be the US Attorney General. Is that ok?

The inflation numbers are Trumps. They are this August compared to last August.
