How worried should we be they're going to block all of Trump's initial appointees?

You shouldn't be worried. If the government can't play nice when the people have spoken, then the people have an obligation to let them know, peacefully or otherwise.

What do you think the issue with hegseth will be?

I don’t know about who will wind up getting confirmed or blocked, but I am worried that Trump is gonna have to needlessly spent limited political capital (yes, he has a mandate, but even the most popular 2nd termers are lame ducks basically no later than the mid-terms 2 years later) fixing unforced errors of insufficient vetting, when he’s known he was gonna be the Republican candidate since the minute he announced.

I mean, you’re gonna appoint the hot 44-year-old dude off of Fox’s morning weekend show to be fricking Secretary of Defense, and you had a couple of years and didn’t know that he was a drunken poon hound who knocked up his 3rd wife while cheating on his 2nd? It would be one thing if he’s known it all along, but still thought he was the best man for the job, so just said “frick it,” and appointed him anyway. But apparently some of this shite caught Trump’s team off guard, which is just unacceptable. It’s not the 30s or 60s or most any other time in American history when there were no real records of these things, and the media was willing to sweep them under the rug for the good of the nation. But it’s not even about the morality of it to me. It’s more about the incompetence, quite frankly, of the people he has vetting these picks that, in 2024, didn’t know everything he’s ever fricking done. Especially because of his being such an unorthodox pick for one of the most important gigs in the world, and he’s probably the most recognizable guy ever tapped due to Fox. I don’t know. Again, it’s just hard for me to comprehend they wouldn’t have talked to every person he’s met, found out everywhere he’s ever been, every hand he’s ever shaken, etc…

Oh well, I’m interested to see how it shakes out.

Since when does anyone in Washington give a flying rat’s arse about infidelity, or sexual misconduct of any kind? The guy is a veteran. A lot of vets struggle with relationships and addictions upon return from combat.

You shouldn’t be worried that the current administration won’t let NAZIS be in a NAZIS cabinet. Yall are psycho, incel mf’s

Don't worry. We voted for Trump, now let him do his thing. He has some brilliant folks around him helping.

I say Trump just force them to deny as many as it takes. The more the better. Those in the senate that oppose him will start to feel the pressure. There is a mandate whether they believe it or not

The problem in the Senate is the Republicans with six years remaining on their terms so they can block and not worry about what six years later will be like
