DeVos should not pass.
There needs to be another march if she passes.
DeVos should not pass.
If Devos gets through, there's absolutely no justice here.
If this was flipped Republicans would vote no in lock step on every appointment. Dems always back down.
What's the status on DeVos? She's the only one I really dislike
That would be kind of a dumb thing to get on your record. Would make for a nice attack ad against you in a primary or even in a general if he did fuck up bad enough.
That is the only one you despise? Wtf?What's the status on DeVos? She's the only one I really dislike
Hhhehehehehehe, like Trump would do that.Dems or repubs, who cares. Same shit. After that fucker cory booker, fuck all them.
Drain that swamp trump.
Okay, so probably spinelessness.
For comparison, how many democrats voted for other nominees? It would be weird if they conceded on Pompeo after not conceding on other picks.
Don't forget the non-voters.America is fucked. I personally blame every Trump voter for this shit. I will never forgive them.
The Democrats that vote for sessions are dead to me.

At a certain point Trump is getting the cabinet he wants and I give leeway to some people who live in red states but not for him
Well you know Manchin will.
If Tillerson gets through, everyone does.
Wow.Can't find a list yet but Schumer voted for Pompeo.
Great leader of the opposition.
Is there a list of Democrats that voted for him?

Shaheen (D-NH)
Warner (D-VA)
Whitehouse (D-RI)

I fear the supreme court now, these fuckers don't care.
How do you not dislike Perry for Secretary of Energy or Carson for HUD?

They never do. A lot of those Dem politicians on the hill have no spine and think "working together" will earn them brownie points with independents. It won't and never has. It just demoralizes actual Democrats when the people they voted for just crumble.
http://www.senate.gov/legislative/votes.htmI don't even know how you can even tell who votes yes or no. Maybe you can't.
So many of these seats are safe Dem seats that I'm getting the impression that Democrats WANT Pompeo confirmed. Like not just are spineless but see a benefit to him being confirmed.
I don't want to sound too crazy, but I think this is a move by Dems to have someone they KNOW will fuck up the job of bridging the IC and Trump.
even this guy got some democratic votes smh
let's look at his credentials:
- pro waterboarding
- pro blacksites
- pro gitmo
- pro mass surveillance
- anti muslim

why wouldn't those earn you Democratic votes in the Senate?even this guy got some democratic votes smh

You give the Democratic party to much credit. Don't, they will only disappoint you like they did in November.
Schumer, lol. What are you doing? These people are just all talk.
What? All of Trump's nominees except three (VA, Ag, Trade Rep) were announced before Christmas.People not realizing what Trump did, he put all these nominees out late so they don't have to go through everything and they can blame the Dems for stonewalling. The Dems don't want to get get blame so Trump's nominees are pushed through faster than ever skipping the ethics committee.
This fucker Trump....

He can't exactly appoint them until he was actually sworn in as President you know.
What? Congress can take all the time they want.He mentioned names, but he didn't officially nominate them until it was too late to put them through ethics checks.
What? Congress can take all the time they want.
Kathleen Sebelius wasn't nominated until February 28th and wasn't confirmed until April 28th. And that wasn't Republicans obstructing, it was Congress just being slow.
I'd really love to hear a good explanation as to why so many dems voted this shitsack in.

What's the possibility that Democrats voted for him because they expect him to fuck up and make Trump look worse?
The problem is that Democrats' compromise only makes the Republicans stronger. The Democrats making concessions never results in the Republicans conceding in other ways.Only decent reason I can think of is picking a hill to fight on and it's DeVos, Sessions, or his EPA pick.
Because his whole job is to propagandize on behalf of the White House in favor of its agenda/against its political opponents?That is why Spicer is saying this?
He said the senate dems are stalling. When you do shit like that, that put pressure on the Dems to go ahead as fast as they can.
