Trump's new Cabinet - Guesses & Nominations

[luthervol]

Yeah, a "bipartisan" bill that still allows, what, 5K illegals a month (?) while not addressing the wall. "Bipartisan" to the Democrats means getting a handful of RINO's to go along with their plans, always has and always will.

As divided as this country has become, the days of true bipartisanship are long over, if it ever really existed. The U.S. has in essence become like the British Parliamentary system where if your side is elected they get a term to run things their way - if the country agrees, they get another term, if not they are thrown out.

My #1 political rule of thumb, one that has never been proven wrong AFAIK, is that if the mainstream media and both parties are for something, it is almost certainly bad for average working Americans. If they are united against something, you can bet it will be good for working people.

Had the bill been passed, would the border issue have been improved?

 

[utvolpj]

I did not mention not following the rules. My hope is that every single one of his picks are confirmed to enable him to implement his policies and reach the mandate the American voters gave him last week.

You implied they should rubber stamp just like the Biden admin did. Instead the Senate should actually do their job and keep out bad appointments. They can help potus by doing that

Resigns and blocks report. Nomination to AG is the excuse. Doesn't get confirmed. Back to House.


Hmmmmm.....

I don't think DeSantis would reappoint Gaetz. Matt would have to go back to begging daddy to get him a job.

 

[utvolpj]

Had the bill been passed, would the border issue have been improved?

Not before the election. That was the reason the border was finally an issue for dems. You also don't get much credit for possibly improving something you were responsible for destroying

Would the border have been better/worse of the Biden admin didn't revoke every rule from the previous admin?

 

[LouderVol]

Thats what it's about. Antagonism.

Sad.

Just like the election was solely about defeating Trump. you have the exact same mindset as them. the same claims to a subjective moral high ground based purely only party politics and large helping of ignoring your own hypocrisy.

 

[dovervolz]

It seems as if there was a bipartisan bill that trumpers shot down for election advantage.

Way to put the country first.

Just like a loser lib, won't tell whole truth. That bill included several billion aid to Ukraine.

 

[NorthDallas40]

Wrong again. My only justification for Russia is the same justification the US uses when it invades a foreign country which is a very broad interpretation of the self defense doctrine. What is good for the goose is good for the gander.

Yeah you get a big *yawn* from me on your claims. You and your mentor Ras are the poster boys for wrong on anything pertaining to Russia and the Ukraine invasion.

 

[bamawriter]

Had the bill been passed, would the border issue have been improved?

Not nearly as much as simply reinstituting the Remain in Mexico policy, which Biden didn't even need Congress to do.

 

[midnight orange]

You're spoiling his narrative. Possibly still upset about the Germans bombing Pearl Harbor.

Almost as bad as when Hitler built the Berlin Wall.

The things he was being investigated for are crimes.

It's blatantly obvious what's going on with this nomination, whether you want to admit it or not. The only saving grace is that this will surely blow up in Trump's face and he won't get away with, gee, I didn't know....

As of now the front runners for the open Senate seat in your state are: Gaetz if he doesn’t get approved for AG. Or Lara Trump.

Who are you pulling for in that matchup?

By blatantly obvious, you mean draining the swamp - right?

When Dems destroy evidence are those crimes? Didn’t Hillary obstruct? Or are Dem crimes NOT crimes while accusations directed at Rs should send them to prison?

 

[LouderVol]

Been an ugly 20 years......4ever more to go.

fyp.

it may go back more than 20 years, but that is all I can really comment on.

and it will keep going as long as your voting mindset is the predominate one in the nation.

 

[sami]

But the democrats have a congressman who slept with a Chinese spy and their leadership couldn’t care less

And had him serving on the House Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence while this was going on.

Hypocracy, thy name is Democrat.

Gaetz is not winning a statewide race.

 

[CobbVol]

Senate should do their job and vote. I said it was my hope that the R Senators confirm all his nominations just like the D's do with every single D administration. Make sure there are no axe murderers but get the team in place to start implementing the policies with this mandate.

 

[VOLS INC.]

Gaetz is not winning a statewide race.

He doesn’t have to. The Governor makes the appointment.

There would be an election in 2026 which a Republican would easily win because Florida is Red!

You are being disingenuous. Ukraine funding was tied to it. It was not a stand alone bill.

 

[bamawriter]

He doesn’t have to. The Governor makes the appointment.

First, DeSantis would not appoint Gaetz. Second, a special election would be held. The appointment doesn't last for six years.

Nuclear war.

An election is held in 2026.

And you might be right. Maybe Ron appoints Lara Trump instead.

 

[lawgator1]

You are being disingenuous. Ukraine funding was tied to it. It was not a stand alone bill.

Which most Senators agreed with. Until Trump intervened....

Wasn’t it expected to pass before Trump got involved?

GOP senators seethe as Trump blows up delicate immigration compromise | CNN Politics

Senior Senate Republicans are furious that Donald Trump may have killed an emerging bipartisan deal over the southern border, depriving them of a key legislative achievement on a pressing national priority and offering a preview of what’s to come with Trump as their likely presidential nominee.

amp.cnn.com

Edit: okay, not quite, Trump got involved while it was still being negotiated. This quotes 6 Republican senators, plus MAGA Ron Johnson as being in support of a border bill compromise and Johnson in particular wanted Ukraine funding tied to the bill as a source of leverage.

It seems like the “not Trump’s fault” narrative is disingenuous because he torpedoed it at the negotiation stage and the “bipartisan bill” narrative is erroneous because bill that ultimately got put forth didn’t have Republican support due to torpedoing of negotiations.

Imagine seeing the results of last weeks election and thinking anyone gives a sh1t about Gaetz's lawfare bs.

 

[sami]

lol wut? Vance was literally one of those deep state guys who has flipped his very public opinion on Trump. Tulsi Gabbard flipped parties. Rubio and Gaetz are swamp creatures. not a single one of them is trustworthy.

Its amazing how fast you guys forget and forgive when daddy Trump tells you to.

Forget and forgive what, exactly? Vance, Musk, Gabbard, and RFK are people who saw the light and abandoned the dark side. I trust them far more than lifer DC 'go along to get along' Republicans, the type that Trump trusted and who stabbed him in the back the first time around.

Gaetz is a pick that is 100% to unrelentingly go after the same people who have destroyed the institutions of this country that used to be trusted - the DOJ, FBI, CIA, and that rat Fauci, who has probably already fleed the country. If he is a swamp creature but roots these people out to pay a price for what they have done to this country, then it will have been a brilliant choice.

I don't disagree on Rubio. He is the one I'm not happy about and just hope to be proven wrong.

DeSantis has already said the special elections would be done quickly. I doubt we get past April without all the seats filled by the voters.
