    Hey mods maybe we should make one thread for all confirmation related news? Just maybe?

    I’d normally agree with this idea of one thread but no… we all know it will become a cesspool of arguments, insults, and demeaning comments. It will be impossible to follow the news of who get confirmed when.
    It would be like a committ thread where all commits are in one thread and Fsu fans and UGA fans are allowed to chime in.
    No thanks.

    I'm wondering if adversarial nations will have enough respect for Little Marco?

    Rubio has switched from being a neocon warmonger to being more of a MAGA war skeptic. He sees which way the wind is blowing and he wants to get elected president one day.

    Haha. Putin is already ready to talk peace. It ain’t Rubio he’s worried about.

    I had hope when Trump nominated Rubio. Rubio talks maga-speak now but he’s experienced, smart and a history of wanting what’s best for our nation. But then the other trump nominations came which included sex traffickers, conspiracy crackpots, and nominees sympathetic to our enemies.

    the whole front page could become confirmation news tho - but ok. I guess we’re used to being spammed at this point.

    Maybe you should have spoke up when Biden was pardoning sex traffickers, conspiracy crackpots, and those sympathetic to our enemies and others bad characters.

    I'm pretty sure that didn't happen and it just feels good for you to say.

    But your political hero actually nominated such people to hold cabinet positions.

    99-0 vote. Unanimous. Secretary Rubio couldn’t vote of course. Outstanding choice

    Just wondering... would insurrectionists, seditionists, or people who assault LEO be considered as "bad characters" by maggats?

    Early prediction: Rubio is one of the first cabinet picks to leave the administration. My understanding is Trump wants to sideline the state department as much as possible.

    Since they are going to be spread out of several weeks that probably wouldn't work.

    Did any of the Trump 45 cabinent nominees get an unanimous vote a la the 99-0 vote Marco got? Pretty impressive sign of bipartisan respect for this nomination

    Agree. But could that cause problems within maga? For no other reason than dems actually supported him?
