Lmao. Is this all a joke? I love seeing super cuts of senators grilling the shit out of these clowns, and getting garbage answers, if any, and then reading later that they were then confirmed. Like, what is this? Is anything real?
- Yeah, I don't get this. Some of the answers these people gave, when they gave answers, we're abhorrent. I don't understand why Republicans were unwilling to push for better nominees.
  
  I mean republicans I get. They don't want to appear disloyal to trump, and elon's threatening to oppose them. Democrats... what the hell is wrong with you guys... you already know trump finds you an enemy... why the hell make it easier
  
  spineless cowards, all of them.
  
  The USA is a corporate dictatorship masquerading as a democracy — in plain sight, as clear as day — and liberals are still debating why the 90% corporate owned D's are ineffectual at stopping the 100% corporate owned R's from implementing a totalitarian fascist regime.
  It'd be fucking comically hilarious if I knew it wouldn't result in civil and global wars, mass murder, climate and ecological collapse, etc, etc.
  
  All any of them care about is the position that's it.
  
  they are probably dinos, and figured they may benefit financially from his policy some how?
  
  Trump clearly has dirt on them, plus, if they oppose hime in anyway, they will at minimum get primaried. At worst they'll get murdered by some MAGAt 2nd amendment zealot. They're all terrified.
  
  A better nominee for the position might disagree with Trump and that's not good enough for them. They want yes men in positions instead of qualified candidates.
  At least when former CEOs took over the cabinet positions related of the industries they were a part of, it had the mask of "he has experience with this field" instead of "Will rubber stamp anything companies and Trump wants."
- It's so fake it's like watching wrestling! If you went to a job interview and gave any of those BS answers, they would laugh you out.
