Kash Patel was confirmed as FBI Director 51-49.
All Republicans voted in favor except for Murkowski and Collins and all Democrats were against.
Now Justice can be served.
Me too.
I will watch reruns. Oh, that’s right, I don’t watch ANY new Hollywood movies or TV shows now.
The last movie I saw in a theater was “Maverick”
Release it ALL.
Sunlight is the best disinfectant.
Stop calling them “RINOS”…they are Assistant Democrats.
Collins would probably not be welcomed in the Demorat Party in Maine. CD-1 has a lot of left-wing wackos in leadership positions. Collins defeated the SOS Bellows in 2020.
You remember Bellows-she tried to keep President Trump off the ballot in the primary.
Like Clint Eastwood riding into town in the movie High Plains Drifter.
Cash Patel has vast courage to take on this job. There’s a vast array of pent up expectations and he can’t deliver on all of them at once. It will be fascinating to see how he proceeds.
McConnell voted YES???? Color me confused.
“She’s doing exactly what she should be doing — representing her state”
That’s a load of crap.
A true leader represents the people - but also leads them toward truth - and that means lifting brainwashed Democrats out of their ignorance.
That’s what RR did - that’s what DJT is doing.
Collins is appealing to brainwashed Democrats - screw that.
😅😂🤣
**sigh** I know....
Run, bitches.
Bring the hammer of Thor down on them...
He’s a threat to bureaucracy.
both are really democrats anyways. so.. No no votes from real republicans.
Kash is coming... and he’s bringing Hell for Democrat Traitors with him.
And the RINOs too!
Gotta give the Rats some credit for sticking together.
Yes. Unexpected.
A lot of good that does if the Left takes full control of the seat.
Her vote has been critical in the past, both good and bad. All of the good votes would have also been bad if a Dem had the seat. And this country would be much worse for it. A stacked SCOTUS, courts, etc. She blocked that. She voted for Kavanaugh - and she took the brunt of some of the most outrageous attacks from the Left because of it - threatening letter sent to her husband claiming it contained deadly poison to kill him, other threats, sending cardboard cutouts of male genitalia to her office, etc. The Left can never be rewarded for that with her scalp.
Unlike Murkowski, she represents an actual blue state. She has also never claimed to be a conservative - she’s always been honest about her philosophy. A YouTuber called “Red Eagle Politics” who is no slouch when it comes to challenging and removing Republicans he disagrees with has called her an “authentic RINO” and overlooks her based on her honesty and the state she represents.
Perhaps Maine will move more to the right in future years and her successor can be more conservative. But for now, we have to live in actual reality.
Interestingly, this seat has almost always been held by a Republican: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=biPJ1lPz9FI
