Recess appointment.

Oh, and thank you Harry Reid for getting rid of the filibuster for confirmations. :nod:
Resorting to recess appointments to get through candidates who wouldn't be able to get through the nomination process are as much of an abdication of the Constitution as were the Dem plans to force into statehood PR and DC to stack the Senate and the plans they had to pack the Court. The Senate has the advise and consent role given to them in the Constitution - if Trump can't get some candidates through even a friendly Senate then the Senate shouldn't run away and not do their Constitutional duty. Recess appointments were for when it took a month by horse to get back to Washington. We can do better.
Yep.

It’s all up to Thune and Senate R’s. If both houses agree to 3 day or greater adjournment, Trump can and almost certainly will. You know Mike Johnson is on board.

Based on McConnell’s handling of Trump, I’m guessing it will happen under Thune.

The worst of these appointments is either shear stupidity or it’s truly going to be a burn it all down attempt by Trump-Musk.

gaetz is one of the least liked Congress critters. There's an outside chance that there are enough Republicans opposed to his nomination who will buck trump and throw a monkey wrench into the works.

Yes. Let’s hope so. But if Donnie wants it bad enough….they may abide.

Free thinking is not a welcome trait in trump's Republican Party so it's a long shot.

I was talking to someone who pointed out that gaetz's face looks like it's being squeezed through something. My response was "like a sphincter?"

He's a fvcking groomer and pedophile.

Its all lies.

Just like the next person that isnt even named yet will have the same bullshit allegations thrown at them like Thomas, Cavanaugh, Linda McMahon, Trump Gaetz, Hegseth etc.

tulsi has entered the race and is challenging noem as the betting favorite.

I think tulsi would beat the crap out of trump if he grabbed her by the pussy.
Well she has military training so that’s an advantagd. Noem may just shoot him tho.
Pam Biondi has entered the "which dirty appointed whore trump sticks his tiny, little schmeckle in first" poll.

Gaetz withrdrew today. Trump replaced him with FL AG Pam Bondi.

What is going through Trump's mind? Even without the distraction of his legal problems, Gaetz had no cred as an AG, anyway. Sure, he has a J.D. Many people in Washington do; it seems to be a pre-req of sorts to get into Government. After B&M Law, he seems to have done a bit of work at a law firm, but he's never done anything from a prosecution POV.

Bondi has experience as a state-level AG. She's an ace for that (if one is speaking in terms of playing cards). Why didn't Trump just lead with her to begin with? Makes no sense....

It makes perfect sense.

Trump wanted to see which GOP RINOS he needs to target because they are not republicans. Murkowski, Snowe, Thune, McConnell all are gonna be gone next election.

So when I left work on Friday, the word on the street was that Trump's nominee for SecAg would be Kelly Loeffler. Now I'm seeing that it's Brooke Rollins instead. What happened with Loeffler? I'm not seeing much online....
