Not that I trust them, but Collins, Murkowski and Romney said they’d confirm Biden’s cabinet. They may want to get the ‘moderate’ brand recertified before helping Mitch stop anything that will help people, so maybe.
Plus Georgia.

Golf and TV. Golf and TV. That’s all the guy makes time for. Thank goodness he’s almost as lazy and incompetent as he is despicable and evil.

Does Trump really have around 80 million Twitter followers? REALLY? And what does that mean? Does the average MAGA nut who would believe Trump actually use Twitter? Somehow, I doubt it.
OK, I found an answer, from back in 2018:
“about 33 million accounts, have been deemed fake” (see How many of Donald Trump's Twitter followers are fake?)
It’s become news to discuss Trump’s tweets. But maybe it should not always be on the front page.

First, I don’t believe anyone in the Dem caucus is that stupid to trust a word out of McConnell’s mouth and depending on which state they’re from, voting against Biden’s nominees could be more damaging politically than anything politically beneficial they might get in return. Second, Biden can just appoint whomever as “acting.” I know another guy who did that.

The beautiful thing about Joe is that the presence he has is the same.
Call me an environmentalist, but I believe that the Planet will be calling the Shots in Joe’s & Kamala’s Presidency

It has a feeling of warmth similar to Melania’s demeanor, i.e. lacking in warmth.

I’m looking for the day when we start referring to Richard Nixon as ‘Skinny Trump’.

Not sure Moscow Mitch will have 100% control over his caucus even as Majority Leader with Murkowski, Romney and Collins on-again-off-again potential to cross over and vote Dem. Of course, if we win the 2 GA seats, all is mute bcos we will control the chamber.
I will like a knock-out-drag-out battle with Moscow Mitch and the Senate GOP on each and every nominee they try to hold up. They have jammed hundreds of unqualified Judges into the Judiciary, and will try to hold up nominees of a duly-elected POTUS…
It should be a battle we all should welcome and relish… The GOP needs to be frontally attacked every day… with Trump out of the picture, MM’s evilness will take center stage. He can not hide behind a Trump tweet or Trump whine no longer.
Bring it on MM…

I believe that we are very close, but not yet there. Although illegitimately elected and properly impeached, the SOB still occupies the White House and we still need to pay attention. Come January 21 hopefully he takes his bitching to Parler.

I could be wrong, but I think these were the same people who said they would vote affirmative for the impeachment. Romney was the only one to do so, again if I recall, and it was only on one of the three articles, no?
I agree with you - I wouldn’t trust them.

I am having problems resolving the President’s complaint that the election "was probably our least secure EVER” and Senator Blunt’s observation that “the system, frankly, was more secure than it’s ever been before. And the President deserves some credit for that.”
Look, TPM, you have presented us with GOP paradoxes before. I thank you for that. But can you use your connections, or journalistic pride, or magic, or something, to ask Trump or Blunt to square their perspectives?
Or is it a bridge too far to ask nihilists to be coherent - and if not coherent, then at least consistent?

Yes, but they are limited on how long they can serve - it’s why the one guy in this administration was deemed illegally serving - the interim period had expired. Can’t remember exactly who it was, but I want to say DHS or something like that.
voting against Biden’s nominees could be more damaging politically than anything politically beneficial they might get in return.
Most voters can’t remember 15 minutes from now; if the Dem Senators aren’t up for re-election for four years, this would be old news and probably not even brought up in the campaign by the opposition.
