Matt Gaetz's actual qualifications for Attorney General are as follows: 3 years as a Private Attorney, 6 years in Florida House of Representatives, 8 years in U.S. Congress. In addition Matt Gaetz's qualifications could arguably surpass the qualifications of a previous a previous Attorney General, John F. Kennedy, when he was well accepted before serving as a POTUS. John F. Kennedy's qualifications for Attorney General were as follows: 6 months at DOJ, 5 months running his brother's campaign, 6 years as "on and off" staffer on Capitol Hill. JFK was nominated to Attorney General at age 34. The fact that RFK was investigated by Hoover is also interesting. (Source NewsMax for Gaetz and RFK information). All of this is worth looking into ourselves especially after the experience of the last 8 years. In fact, American citizens are much more aware of what has secretly occurred over our whole lifetime.
This has to be one of the most BIASED articles I've read. What happened to REAL ethics in Journalism? Writing like this is part of the reason many Americans are so uninformed and/or misinformed. Writings like this are intended to disparage the appointees of our duly elected President elect. This serves no purpose other than to continue to misinform and divide Americans with misinformation. America has had enough of blatantly biased NONethical writing. We can do our own research on Trump’s appointees. Unethical media sources are on the losing side. Writings like this motivate us even more to do our own research and due diligence. Trump not only won this election, he also secured the popular vote.
Thomas, what have you heard about thousands of NC ballots that were only for Trump? Also, in our county there is growing evidence that someone brought black folks down from cities up north to take part in our early voting through same registration. One young woman told a canvasser that she knew it was wrong but she got lots of money to come.
Or Tillis and 2 or 3 other Republican senators (McConnell? Collins? Murkowski?) could now bolt and form a new American political party that caucuses with the Democrats. The new party (maybe they should call it the New American Party or something catchier), would then maybe have true power, prevent some of the atrocity now being teed up by DT, and give its founders a truly memorable place in American history. Ha Ha Ha Ha HAHA
I hope the Senate continues with secret ballots so they will be more likely to vote their true conscience. Out in the open, they are cowards and are afraid of T. Now is the time for them regain their integrity and stand up to T, doing what they know is right and best for our country.
While I would argue for that I grant that doing so would require bravery. So far as I can tell only Murkowski has that. McConnell is done either way while Tillis is essentially a male Collins. He shows "concern" and says vaguely important suff. but always votes to follow the herd.
It seems that concern over the recess appointment stratagem has faded after the election of institutionalist John Thune as the incoming majority leader. Trump's choice Rick Scott came in third. Of course the Republican senators had the luxury of casting their votes behind closed doors. What Thomas Mills has offered today may illustrate why the recess appointment option may still be attractive to Republican senators so they do not have to cast public votes on the clowns that Trump is nominating. I sent the following to Senators Tillis and Budd. Perhaps other readers might wish to do the same:
Dear Senator Tillis,
Given our statewide results apart from the presidential ticket, I think it is safe to say that most North Carolinians will expect you to assert the constitutional role of the Senate in the vetting and confirmation of the major executive appointments. May I hear back from you on whether or not you will allow the Senate to adjourn so that Donald Trump can fill his senior executive positions through unchecked recess appointments. It is important for you to take a position on this matter.
The reply will be something to the effect of “thank you for contacting my office. Here is a list of all the great things I’ve (supposedly) done for NC. Thank you again for contacting my office”. That’s been my personal experience with his useless ass several times. He’s a total putz. My hope is Roy Cooper does run against him.
Maybe, if things are as bad as you report, the Democrats will stop doing what you are doing here. Tulsi G. is not a "Russian" agent. It is puerile and unhelpful to suggest such a thing. You get that from possibly one of the most despicable people on earth, Hillary Clinton. If Hillary Clinton and the Democrat party had not undermined Sanders Trump would not have won in 2016 and he would not have been able to appoint three people to the Supreme Court. Stop gaslighting people, offer something other than 'we are not Trump' and maybe people will ask your people to represent them.
Ken, Fourth sentence in your post requires comma after introductory adverbial clause. Introducing the condition with the blame as so stated regarding 3 SCOTUS appointees to create cause and effect does not hold.
It's the 5th sentence. Maybe you should proofread yourself. To make your point more clear, your second sentence should be worded in two sentences or try two complete thoughts, sentences, joined with a conjunction. Correct use of sentence formation will get your point across. As your second sentence stands, you should at least add commas.
Kim, You’re right. The 5th sentence is the one I had in mind for comment. And your usage point(s) about my structure of sentence would better serve. Good eye. Although I chose not the comma route with my structure as like Gertrude Stein I’m a bit comma averse and more inclined to dashes. Still. Nothing thrills me as much as sentence structure talking points. The original writer’s attempt to create a cause and effect between a Bernie loss and the 3 SCOTUS picks struck me as worth a comment; a most unstable relationship poorly drawn. (My use of ; in previous sentence, more for effect as I realize the ; does not join 2 independent clauses. I took a liberty here).
I didn't say she's a Russian agent. I said she's a Russian dupe, which she is. She spouts Russian talking points and has been criticized by people from both parties for doing it.
Hillary Clinton said that in the context of American politics, Gabbard and Jill Stein were Russian _assets_ (or dupes, as Thomas puts it) not that Gabbard was directly working for the Russians, although I would not be surprised if she has been in direct contact with them. Tulsi is one of the most bizarre persons on the American political scene today.
For a moment, I get fooled and think they might do the right thing and then I remember the only thing they really care about is power. For me, taking the Oath of Office as I got promoted in the Marine Corps actually meant something. Not to these clowns. Not sure why they even bother.
The jokes on American voters, too. But I f democracy survives the next two years, the MAGA White House will likely have delivered enough evidence to propel a Democrats’ resurgence in the 2026 midterms.
I hope so. Personally, I would love to see his followers suffer with high inflation, tariffs, etc. and having their family members deported. Wait until so many workers are deported that there's no one to work on farms or do construction. Unfortunately, Democrats would also suffer, but it's the only way that I see that we can turn things around. That is assuming that we still have some form of democracy in 2 years.
I love the idea of Roy Cooper raising money for his campaign for Tillis's seat, with these appointments. They are a complete affront to the voters. I honestly do believe there will be carnage in the 2026 cycle, especially in the face of tariffs and appeasements to the oligarch. You left out the "Huckster" going to Israel to further spread hate and death through the Middle East.
FAKE "news" msm is dead, but it doesn't even know it yet!

I recall the late actor William Bendix's famous line from The Life of Riley: "What a revolting development this is." On point Thomas
The consequence of "the joke(s)" will affect all of us.
Hey? Why no mention of NC's MIA Senator, Ted Budd? Doesn't his support count?
Budd has never pretended to be anything but a sycophant.
Tillis on the other hand keeps demanding to be taken seriously.
'26 will sure be an interesting one. Especially if ol' Roy decides to run, like we all expect him to.

It has already been established that there is ZERO bravery among Senate republicans.
I hope the Senate continues with secret ballots so they will be more likely to vote their true conscience. Out in the open, they are cowards and are afraid of T. Now is the time for them regain their integrity and stand up to T, doing what they know is right and best for our country.

I have been thinking about writing to Tills & Budd too.

Good idea. Thank you for suggesting a constructive action.

Not helpful- how many people are Zionist dupes which is far worse with no mention

It's the Cabinet of Deplorables. Truly shameful and embarrassing.
What could go wrong, Thomas? 🤣🤣🤣
This makes it clear how so many 'upstanding' Germans fell in line for Adolph.
He does love Hitler.
