Would you be upset if Tulsi & RFKj aren't confirmed?

It was a nice unifying big tent message that Democrats like them joined MAGA, and brought along some disaffected voters to secure the win, but ultimately, they are still center-left politicians, not worth dying-on-a-hill-for.

Kash is the only one I would truly be pissed about if he wasn't confirmed, and would root for the by-any-means-necessary recess appointment.

Agree? Disagree?

When there are resounding no's from the left, I'm surprised the nominee even entertains them. I suppose they have to in a certain sense, but zero chance anyone on the left votes to confirm Kash for example.

Tulsi and Kash are the only two appointments I really care about. I was just meh on RFK and Hegseth.

Yes and will and all Republican Senators who voted against them to be primaried and replaced with America First Republicans. McConnell, Murkowski and possibly Cassidy

Upset? No. It has always been an uphill climb for both.

Left of center or not they have to be confirmed. Any 'compromise pick' is guaranteed to be a piece of shite.

President Trump has the mandate. I want whoever he decides that he needs in those positions in order to clean up the mess.

I would be disappointed if RFKj isn't confirmed. I believe he is serious about getting the poisons out of our food.

RFK Jr is a big reason independents and some Dems voted Trump. MAHA is an extremely important issue. Dems blocking him will blow up in their faces.

Disagree.

MAGA isn't left vs right. It's America First vs Globalists. I'm conservative and pro-life. RFK Jr are perfect fits for MAGA. WITHIN THE AREAS OF INFLUENCE THEY ARE BEING TASKED, their liberal political views don't matter.

Yes

Is there anything stopping them from being hired as an “assistant” if not confirmed?

And if so
Do the recess appointments

Frick them and their corrupt BS

Yes. Because the only way that happens is if retard Republicans voted against them (I presume Dems will all vote against [except maybe Fetterman]).

They will be. They will either be confirmed by the Senate or by recess. I love how FBI officials were receiving walking papers yesterday while Patel was being heard. That is a real clear message from the POTUS Trump admin that they do not give a damn what the Senate thinks!!

RFK for me. He is the one nominee I have zero doubts of their sincerity.

The only thing that would upset me is that Biden's absolutely tragic appointees breezed through confirmation with a lot of Republicans voting in their favor. Fast forward four years and basically not a single democrat is supporting any of these candidates.

I'm also upset that RINOs are such useful idiots to the Democrats and that the representatives that have been captured by special interests will continue to have so much power.
