ALL of Trumps selections will be approved, its what the American people wanted when they gave President Trump a mandate.

Trump will acquiesce and do the work of the people like he was elected to do.

Hegseth and RFK Jr were/are the only two that were considered potentially blockable. Hegseth is already through and RFK jr looks to be on the way there as well.

Tulsi and Kash Patel were the other 2 that were considered potentially blockable, but now both look almost a lock. (Yeah I know FBI not one of the 22 ‘cabinet level’, but now a days the most prominent non cabinet level position)..
Tulsi, RFK, and Kash last month were far from locks looking at the betting lines in Jan.

Is it just me, or does it seem like Fetterman is something akin to a modern day Reagan Democrat?

He's certainly been a revelation. What I like best is his independent streak - he may be right, he may be wrong, but he's going to look at something and make his own decision on it, regardless of party orthodoxy. Imagine if we had more thoughtful legislators like that, heck, we may actually be able to have Congress pass laws again.

Well, I'm not sure how much more damage than anyone else. He appears to be pretty recovered now from the stroke.

A mandate? He narrowly won by 1.5%, 2.28M votes. That’s a small city. He squeaked by

Rand Paul has been making some sense lately.

Which is odd because he’s a tool just like the others.

But Trump said he wasn’t going to follow Project 25’s plan?

Odd that he’d nominate one of the fascist co-authors for such an important position.

I can recommend some excellent reads on defining fascism and communism and the competing ideas between the two. :thumb:

Lol it’s clear you (and the rest of the left who are caterwauling about Trump and Elon being fascists) have no clue about what real fascism is.

exalts nation and often race above the individual
Exalting the nation but nope, nothing racist about what Trump is doing

Centralized autocratic government.
Nope, Trump is doing the opposite by attempting to make it smaller and decentralized. Under the Biden regime was just the opposite.

Headed by a dictatorial leader,
Nope. Trump not a dictator. Biden way more dictatorial than Trump.

Severe economic and social regimentation and by forcible suppression of opposition.
Nope. This is what the left was doing with their woke trans DEI ideology, esp 2020-2023. Were doing it in the workplace, govt, through MSM, and big social media (before Elon bought X) of anyone who dissented.

What would you call it?
- Christo-fascism?
- right wing woke?
- an attempt to force others to follow your beliefs?
- a blatant disregard for the Constitution?
- all off the above?

So you forcing your beliefs on someone who disagrees with them is “common sense” but someone forcing their beliefs (that you disagree with) on you is woke?

How obtuse do you have to be to not see the irony/hypocrisy here?

Why do you hate freedom?
