Anyone notice that Trump doesn't seem to be fighting all that hard for his nominees.

[Yavin4]

Kind of pushing them out there. If they fail, he just moves on.

[Klarkashton]

1. Notice the quality of these nominations.

These are all worthless shit for brains bootlickers.

[Yavin4]

2. And highly disposable as well. n/t

[House of Roberts]

3. No one has failed anything yet.

He expects he'll just use them as acting without confirmation.

[GusBob]

4. I have noticed yes

Maybe I have not been paying that much attention due Trump fatigue

But I am thankful that I dont hear him spouting off on Social media Unless I am missing something. Previously his tweets were all over DU and everywhere else ( top of the hour radio broadcasts for example)

I think that Wiles lady is reigning him in and letting others mouth off? Hearing more blather from Musk for example

[nycbos]

8. That will be last two months after 1/20

Remember people thought John Kelly a three star general could be the “adult in the room”

[GusBob]

12. I read she accepted the position with conditions

The one mentioned was who had access to him

Seems impossible, talking some sense into that guy. But maybe she has some control for now, as you indicate

[3catwoman3]

19. Is she steaming his pants?

While he’s wearing them?

[dalton99a]

5. He doesn't care - they're all interchangeable, fungible - just swap them out

[nycbos]

6. It's part of his strategy.

He nominates people who are so repulsive that even republicans reject them. Then he nominates people slightly less repulsive and get praised for being “a different person”

[LeftInTX]

13. That's what I'm thinking

Bondi replaced Gaetz. All of a sudden. "At least she isn't as bad."

[Mike 03]

7. Yes, I agree.

I really do think Trump could care less about actual governing. I think he's bored to tears by that and can't wait to get to the hustling, theft and being flattered by world leaders on the phone. And it's so obvious, which is why it's so shameful anyone could possibly vote for him.

[sop]

9. This embarrassing shitshow is just a preview of how Trump will "govern."

We are all at the mercy of this imbecile's capricious whims and psychotic tendencies.

[kerouac2]

10. Question is, what's he doing while everyone is freaking out on these noms

He doesn't care as long as his noms are loyal. Is it a smoke screen to take attention off of way worse things being worked on behind the scenes? They will be coming out of the gate in a few weeks with rockets firing in all directions. We won't be able to keep up with all the crap that will hit the fans.

[mucifer]

11. no one ever works for him for long. they all quit or get fired quickly

[ProudMNDemocrat]

14. Just like his first term. Rachel Maddow ran out of wall space keeping up.

A clown show for sure.

[kentuck]

15. He's got more important things to think about...

...like grifting and making deals with foreign leaders, in order to enrich himself and his loyal friends.

[Baitball Blogger]

16. The smart one was the sheriff. Probably the

Only one who figured out he wasn’t going to survive the vetting.

[Macrophylla]

17. Because its a game

He puts up horrible people so when he actually appoints a less horrible person the press gives him a pass.

Not sure how much more obvious this needs to be for people to see it.

Trumps greatest gift is knowing exactly how to play the media.
Not sure how much more obvious this needs to be either.

Sure seems obvious to me.

[LetMyPeopleVote]

18. trump is pushing people he knows are not qualified just to see how far he can push it

trump is not surprised when these unqualified nominees fail

[H2O Man]

20. Recommended.

He actually did try to pressure Senate republicans on Gaetz. But that was phone calls, nothing public. I think we will see him do more once January 20 comes around.

[rampartd]

21. these are just the guys he wants on fox and suc selling the bull shit

the real damage will come from serious idalogues a rung or 2 down from cabinet level.
