No need to confirm anyone. Mike Johnson is in Trumps pocket and just send the Senate on recess so trump can appoint who he wants.
That way they can all wash their hands while doing nothing about it.

MODERATORS
They'll just make him "Acting" Attorney General.
I mean... They will though right? We've all seen this movie before.
Don't worry, the spineless cunts will all fall in line when the time comes, like the good little fascists they are.
Memories are really short apparently.
Recess appointments are "on the table."

Didn’t the Senate Republicans say something to the effect that Roe v. Wade would never be overturned?
They say a lot of things.
They also dismiss anything horrible Trump wants to do as him telling a joke until he does it.
Bullshit. They'll furrow their brows for moderates, then give the disgusting MAGAts anything they want. Party over country...
100% he’s confirmed. Take dat shit to the bank.
I would say that 100% he becomes the AG. Whether or not that's through the confirmation process is yet to be seen.
Yeah, as if they have any principles to stand by. Our country is being run by psychopaths.
How do you even explain this to one’s daughter? To trust a system to keep them safe - the basic role of government. Yet here is a government flat out okaying rape culture.
He will be confirmed. This is just more media normalization and hopium that things are normal.
They did it with Brett Kavanaugh last time, and Republicans put Clarence Thomas on the bench also after trying to suppress his sexual harassment allegations, and made it a big show pretending they didn't understand.
Trump is surrounding himself with really the worst people this time around, because guess who doesn't try and pump the brakes when you're asking if you can use the US military to put down protestors, your sexual assault buddies. =(
I don't have a good answer....
Maybe tell them not to trust anyone or anything. Make connections with people and maybe trust them. Any organization with power can be corrupted. It is a harsh reality, but people blame women for being raped. I talked to people (women) I worked with about women coming out with allegations too late. Women attack other women for waiting too long before reporting being a victim.
Idk how to fix it. It's just fucked. And yes some women lie and ruin innocent men's life. It doesn't mean we should never believe women. How do we make the individual safe while teaching them to interact with people that might have bad intentions?
I wish I had an answer for you. I'm lucky enough to have dual citizenship, so I am getting my daughter out of the country while I can. I wish others were so lucky.
All good, I’m just postulating and recall your post from yesterday.
I’m Canadian with grown daughters. Unfortunately Canada will pivot hard right next election as well, but unlikely to this point of insanity. But we will still follow along like a lost Shepherd.
Not sure when you're next election is, but if Trump fucks us hard enough between now and then, I could see Canada potentially swinging the other way as a reaction... Maybe that's unrealistic.
Likely so but your Conservative Party hasn’t shown the fascist cancer of our Republicans. I haven’t seen Poilievre say anything to suggest he wants to end democracy or tear down the government. That’s a pretty fucking low bar but at least you’re not at that level.
All I can say is I wish you (and us all) luck.
I've heard this line before.....
~~a majority of~~all republican senators will vote to confirm the waste of organic matter anyway.
