How many of tsf's nominees will never see office?

Last edited Tue Dec 3, 2024, 07:44 PM - Edit history (1)

Matt Gaetz quit, the DEIA guy backed out, Hegseth is under fire (so to speak)...how many more will never make it to January 20th? Expect Rachel Maddow to bring out her big board of has-beens again.

Gaetz, Patel, Hegseth. That's about it.

The rest of them are shoe-ins, despite being manifestly unqualified. There are over 1200 appointed positions that require Senate confirmation.

Repuke senators need a couple scalps to demonstrate how much moral fiber, rectitude and high-mindedness they have.

I'm still betting quite a few will realize they need to spend more time with their families

4. Zero. He's doing this now to get away with nominating even shadier characters after he takes office.
