Joe Biden tells Senate Republicans to end obstruction and confirm his top cabinet picks immediately - and says he'd have loved Bernie Sanders to be Labor Secretary but needs him in the Senate

President elect Joe Biden on Friday called on the Senate to start the process to confirm his top Cabinet nominees immediately, saying there should be no vacancies during the coronavirus pandemic and economic crisis.

Biden is in danger of not having a single Cabinet official confirmed on Inauguration Day. Traditionally the Senate - which is sworn into office a few weeks ahead of a president - starts the confirmation process so there is at least part of a national security team in place when the president takes office.

'We've done our job. We've begun the job of naming these people and it's my expectation and hope that the Senate will now move to confirm these nominees promptly and fairly. As is especially the case for the nominees of secretary of state, defense, treasury, and homeland security,' he said. 'They should be confirmed as close to January 20th as possible.'

Democrat City is a Satanic town.

No one, who values his soul, will have anything to do with it.

Dusty Rhodes tells Ric Flair something something something to make us think their feud is real ..

Perfect. I was thinking of the wrestling analogy this morning, with the fake rivalries and all.

As if he actually had to tell them. You younguns are about to see groveling on a scale you won’t believe. Republicans in the minority are beyond sickening. Sure, the same handful in the House who told the RATS to go to hell during impeachment will still be there, but the rest of them and virtually all of the Senate will be on their knees. Already we are seeing Congressional Republicans starting their apology tours to kiss up to their RAT masters. It’s only going to get worse from here.

And then she was fired ... and the Deputy AG who had formerly been the Assistant AG replaced her ... and the Assistant AG who had formerly been one of the 93 U.S. Attorneys (for the Northern District of Virginia, I believe) became the Assistant AG ... etc., etc.

This is remarkable that he wanted to make Bernie Sanders Secretary of Labor when he never really held a real job in his entire life. This is the kind of crap we will get out of this clown.

He’s picking career politicos - a mayor, a governor, etc., along with his former buddies. There will be zero businessman perspective in his cabinet. Shows where his priorities and loyalties are.

Sure Joe, “we’ll” right after you confess to the electoral malfeasance and admit that your party stole the elections in the 5 contested states, and that President Trump was actually re-elected.

Hell No, Joe Biden. We need to get and infiltrate the Republican Party...as my friend (a Biden supporter) said, Joe will be moderate in governing. I hope so...
