He thinks he's delivering applause lines, while the generals are dumbstruck by this whole fiasco.

"Well...Mr Kennedy has, ahh, reassured myself and my Senate colleagues that he will suspend his anti-polio-vaccine activities if we confirm his nomination. I'm, ahh, satisfied by this commitment and will support his nomination fully."

-- McConnell, next Monday.

So this is one of the billionaire geniuses now running our country??

That's just...fucking awesome.

Corruption works.
Threats work.

I was working as an overseas diplomat during Bush II and was so embarrassed to bring requests to the host government, knowing they were just going to laugh at us. Can't imagine the abject terror of our current diplomatic corps, knowing what's coming in a few weeks.

That was the sound of fucking capitulation. Joe can fuck right off.

Huh. Another country that's taking election interference and authoritarian threats seriously. Would be nice to get some of that action here at home.

I heard this rant on Sirius XM this morning and had to switch it off several minutes in. He also got real defensive for having apologized to Fox over some joke about drunks at the network. Seriously.

If defending yourself takes this much energy, then perhaps changing course is the wiser option.

Just utterly pathetic. I hate that we're in the stage where taking a principled stand is off the table if it involves potential risk to your personal fortune.

Don't feed the trolls, y'all. Block them and move on with your lives.

Yet another disgusting display of cronyism and corruption. Trump is literally incapable of doing otherwise.

There's just no end to the cronyism with this guy. Lucky for tfg his entire social circle is filled with criminals, grifters and sycophants.

It's particularly galling when you look at the last two administrations. The chaos, corruption, scandals and backstabbing of the trump years, as compared to the competence and achievement focus of the historically diverse Biden admin. How do these outdated myths persist??

It's always a good day when you find trolls to block before noon.

Anyone else notice he's doing the hand job dance pose in every one of the photos? Do they seriously think it looks cool or "manly" in any way??
