1. Gaetz is a ruse to make it look like congress is doing their job.

So they can save face as they approve Russian assets to all the other spots.

3. And Johnson has been twisting himself into knots defending TFG's totally inappropriate picks

Was the Gaetz nomination the "secret" between them that they threatened to ensure TFG's success?

4. This is just one of their many other secrets.

The biggest one being the theft of the election.

[Rhiannon12866]

9. Thanks! It's totally beyond me that a majority of the country would vote for a convicted felon who tried to overthrow

The government!

[Irish_Dem]

10. A lot of people did vote for a ruthless psychopath.

But Putin helped push up the numbers just enough to make it a mandate.

There are no secrets in DC. Everyone there knows exactly what happened.

11. And he expects payment in kind from TFG and his cronies

[Irish_Dem]

13. Of course. Putin has installed his puppets across the US government

and expects payment in full.

The puppets are only too happy to comply as they have total unlimited, permanent power
and access to all US assets and resources.

It is the biggest crime in US history.

2. Republican senators, think their opinion matters, that's adorable

[Irish_Dem]

5. They have given away all their power and they know it.

They are just going to pretend a bit to keep up appearances.

[Walleye]

6. True, but I'm not so sure they all know it yet. They still think they are US senators.

[Irish_Dem]

7. They can still grift quite a bit, and strut around pretending to be important.

Can rip off the US taxpayer, make a killing on the stock market with insider trading, etc.

But they will only be naming post offices from now on.

Yes some of them are slow learners but they will learn quite quickly their place in the universe.

8. This is a distraction

They are trying to pull off something else and want people not to see it. You know they will confirm Gaetz because they confirmed Trump, a convicted felon, sexual abuser, thief and rapist.

[Irish_Dem]

12. Trump is making it clear that raping women and children is not a crime.

And not a disqualifier for high office.
