That’s an interesting tactic I hadn’t considered; that what few sane republicans remain after January will simply skip the vote in order to try to keep Dime-Store Musollini in check.
“even with Sen. Joe Manchin (I-WV) joining Republicans to vote against his nomination.”
That’s a really weird way of writing “Republican Joe Manchin joined his fellow Republicans to vote against Democrats as he always does.”
Thank you.
Against Trump’s Wishes
Last I checked he’s not president yet.
Unfortunately that hasn’t mattered for four years, they’ve still done everything he’s asked. (Repubs I mean)
Good. Do things like this at every chance. Normalcy is for loosers that this point.
Yeah, it was a single judge, and multiple Dems are gone too, Kamala is apparently in Hawaii, so a tie would have lost.
Every single fucking person with a D by their name needs to be in DC madly scrambling around the clock to do any and everything possible to mitigate imminent damage right now.
Like, I won’t lie. A single judge is more than I expected, and I’m happy we got it.
But fuck it, we have the Senate, a single vacancy when Biden hands over the keys is too much.

45 vacancies, 15 pending…
And one got voted today when they have the numbers?
I don’t say it enough, but Chuck Schumer is a fucking problem and shouldn’t be in a party leadership position. Compare him to the Republican counterpart Mitch McTurtle. That dude spent decades saying courts was the number 1 priority, literally all thru Chuck Schumer’s political career.
It’s been wildly effective but also done in an unethical manner
And yet when Trump is about to move in with a Senate majority, and we have an ethical manner to fill every vacancy…
Why aren’t we?
Yes! Louder 👏🏾 for 👏🏾 the 👏🏾 people 👏🏾 in 👏🏾 the 👏🏾 back 👏🏾
They were too quick to try and fundraise off of the loss but they’re too busy to take action? Fuck these clowns.
Either:
1: Democratic leadership isn’t really getting touched by the military. They’re probably acquaintances with various generals.
Or
2: They realized they’re fucked and want to enjoy the last bit of America before shit hits the fan.
Idk which scenario is true. Who knows? 🤷♂️
The first, if they were really fucked they’d use the last of Joe Biden’s presidential powers to have Navy Seals show up at Mar-A-Lago one night
Not the worst way for republicans to make things harder on trump
That’s the way to weaponize incompetence.
