he deserves the team around him that he wants. It’s not up to us to determine that.
It absolutely is up to the senate to determine that. The constitution says so.
- I was about to say, didn't we write in a confirmation vote by the Senate as, effectively, a sanity check? To prevent the President from stuffing his Cabinet with toadies and yes-men?
  
  It's okay when he's the toadie yes-man
- The constitution says so.
  They have never really cared about the Constitution any more than they have about this country.
- But kings don't need constitutions...
  
  Especially the Burger King.
  
  They need guillotines. Used on them.

This is the same dipshit that blocked hundreds of military promotions because he didn't like the Pentagon's pro-access abortion policy. Even Mitch McConnell pushed back on him then.

Tommy Tuberville is slept on as a candite for the "Most harmful senator" award. He's such a bold-faced boot licker and hasn't done a single thing to uphold his oath of office
- I would say that's almost every politician out there

He is another Russian asset. If the CIA could do their fucking jobs I'd be very greatful.
- The CIA topples governments. They don't need to do anything but sit back and watch ours topple itself
  
  Wow you're so edgy.

Potatotown protecting child rapists again. It's the only thing he's good at.
Edit: I was getting him mixed up with Jim Jordan. I guess the GOP in general just enjoys protecting pedos.
- Pretty good chance he's done it too

I hope he blocks gaetz then

Dude, you were the coach at Auburn. No one is scared of your threats.

Does this asshole not realize that others could just as easily tank his career?
- You could never tank a guy named Tommy Tatotown!

DO IT

He might not be able to deliver on that threat. And once it fails once, it loses it's power and it will never work again.
- Right. That logic totally explains his second term.
  
  No, I mean there will definitely be GOP Senators who vote against Trump's picks, if for no other reason that they have 3 votes to spare, and some will get Hall Passes. Thats how the Senate works. Their careers will not be ruined, by Tuberville or anyone else.

Tumorville needs to have his face rearranged

Isn’t that illegal?
- Haven't you figured this out yet? No one gives a fuck if it's legal or not. We living in the clown world now baby.
  
  Honk honk
- Threatening political retribution against senators for voting against their party is generally not illegal in the USA.

Why so defensive?
