And its been that way across the board on all of Biden's Cabinet picks.

Wasn't a huge fan of Sessions, but he received (D) votes. And barely got in. The (R)s don't even try to put up a fight.

Because there came a point when there stopped being a difficult time telling the two parties apart. Left/Right/Up/Down whatever. Just polish my nameplate and hook me up with my lobby back door money.

Now the Left is straight up crazy and the R’s haven’t gotten the memo.

I believe that Miss Lindsey has voted to confirm all of mush brains nominees.

It gets worse. Only 2 (R) Senators voted nay to Lloyd Austin. Lee and Hawley.

They wanted to hang out with the popular kids. They thought if they did everyone would like them because they were bipartisan.

Because the GOP is controlled opposition. You will not save our civilization by way of the GOP so stop wasting time, energy, money, and resources on that failed and corrupt entity and start actually doing real work locally to rebuild healthy normal society.

The sooner the GOP completely falls apart the faster we can have meaningful political change.

Well, my good sir, it wouldn’t be the sober, proper, and gentlemanly action to not confirm this notable public servant, I do say, mmmh, yes.

Josh Hawley is the best Senator that we have up there.

Honestly, I think most were just relieved it wasn’t that evil thug Eric Holder, so they took what they could get.

Maybe wolves in sheep's clothing.Maybe they gave in to the mob.Maybe they were paid off.

It's something that goes against their their own promises.

And against the votes that sent them there.

Right, so they voted to confirm the not evil thug who now wants the FBI to go after parents who voice concern over their children’s education.

I’m shocked that you seem to think voting to confirm Garland was fine though. Absolutely shocked.

You think you know me a lot better than you think you do. Honestly you jump ten spaces in advance. No better than a Leftist who thinks they know what’s in everyone’s hearts and minds.

Republicans usually have deference to the office and allow the President to pick his team. Democrats fight every battle, no matter how small or large

The masses that are okay with this administration,imho"need to stop listening to the flowery words and rhetoric,and pay attention to what their policies are doing.

Their policies are taking money out of everyone'wallet,purse.bank account.

And,they're are wanting more.This should scare the crap out of all Americans.

Don't get me starte on Foriegn Policy.

I'd stroke out.

I know Turtle gets a lot of flack, but praise God he held off the vote on Merrick Garland for the Supreme Court. Garland is a liberal disaster.

Every single GOP Senator should be at a press conference this week where everyone of them demands that Merritt Garland step down from his position.

The GOP needs to keep this fascist in the news daily until he is forced to quit. The GOP needs to learn how to play offense with the media instead of allowing the left control both the narrative and news cycle.
