To paraphrase William Shakespeare, "To be primaried or not to be primaried, that is the question."

Since when have nominations caused such a stir?

Give the president what he wants or else lose you seat and your influence.

Could be more involved than that. Dems ain’t the only ones been using USAID to pad their wallets. Trump and Elon and his crew are knowing a lot of stuff I bet. Drop a dime and say “Hey old buddy got a question about a vote and information I just picked up. Got a minute. Hummmn?” Just wondering.

The times are historic insofar as global and national forces are turbulent. In normal times the process has been far less invitatory of resistance. Just a guess.

But has it not been the case over decades that Republicans rubber stamp, and Dems join them?

NOT ANY MORE! By the grace of God the voice of normal citizens is not just sounding, but having the force of law behind it, together with the One from Whom all law derives.

GOP Senators do their job instead of listening to the DNC propagandist at the NY Slimes

Every vote was a vote on three things:
1. The confirmation
2. Pain and expense of their next primary against an opponent funded by the Billionaires Club.
3. Pissing Trump off.

Did the brain trusts at the NYT use the word “surrender” to refer to Senate Dems not casting a single vote against any of Biden’s nominees? Lol.
