I’m too tired to be outraged, but if I wasnt, Kobes’ confirmation would be my new focus. The ABA called him all but illiterate. Sixth “unqualified” judge to be nominated, third to be confirmed, first to require the vote of a VP Zombie Christ. Will someone please assume the mantle of my outrage?
Hadn’t heard of that before: Jonathan Kobes becomes first in U.S. history confirmed by tiebreaker in the Senate - CBS News
Fourth to be confirmed: L. Steven Grasz was confirmed to the 8th Circuit yesterday as well, despite being “unanimously not qualified” i.e. everyone knowledgable about the law thought he was not qualified for a lifetime appointment as a judge.
You and me both.
I am physically repulsed at the extent to which the Dick agenda has been carried out under this “administration” due to the windy vacuum created by Trump’s utter inadequacy to the office. They’re all back, like the colony of cockroaches they are.
Those Senators who voted to confirm must be held accountable during their next re-election runs.
All Republicans except Flake voted for Kobes:
(Grasz was last year.)
I’d hope that included resigning but experience says no.
He might, maybe, understand that as soon as he’s out of office, he’s gonna spend pretty much the rest of his days in the court room and/or prison.
He may understand that. But it may be a reach for him.
Just two years ago, the new acting White House Chief of Staff said that Trump was “a terrible human being.” Wonder if he’ll change his mind now that he’s got this cool new gig?: Mick Mulvaney once called Trump a ‘terrible human being’
Mulvaney was appointed by Trump to two major posts before this (OMB head and head of the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau). He clearly learned how to properly smooch the royal rump some time ago.
Politico says he has been working to get this particular gig for a long time–they report he turned down the job earlier in the month purely as a negotiating tactic:

So he’s a brown-nosing piece of shit.
We should consider this pattern every time Trump accuses Obama of being a bad President.
It’s called projection.
Thus my preferred description of the GOP as having more projection than a multiplex theater.
He had some other things to say, too, before he really went over to the Dark Side: https://www.cnn.com/2018/12/17/politics/kfile-mick-mulvaney-october-2016-interview/index.html
That’s my impression.
He’s a guy who likes money and likes people with money and, it would appear, likes sticking it to workers/consumers–by many accounts* he’s done his best to dismantle the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau.
Doesn’t matter what he may have said about Trump in the past: he’s a Trumpkin, through and through.

Not Trump himself, but I still encounter people who talk about how Trump is kicking ass and fighting back and sticking it to the libtards.
I don’t understand what reality these people live in.
They have nothing but their anger. It’s the only thing that makes them feel good.
You ever run into the ones who still think that Trump was sent by God to do Godly things? You know, like Franklin Graham?
Yes, the mind boggles. And you know how we use the meme “Why do you hate freedom” in jest? Those people are sincere when they say it to us.
The line I hear most often these days is “Well, he’s still better than what Hillary would have been.”
I saw this in the comment section of a YouTube video and wanted to share.
