So, McConnell won't give proper consideration to Biden's cabinet picks, eh?

At least, it seems to be a serious concern in the media, and would absolutely be in line with McConnell’s brand of evil...

Here’s an idea:

1) Put together a slate of appointments that truly represent the people he wants, and submit it to the Senate.

2) Quietly appoint people to “Acting” positions, people who would be guaranteed to drive McConnell and his ilk into apoplectic frenzies.

3) Announce that these “Acting” appointments will be replaced as soon as the Senate approves Biden’s submitted slate.

hope so. I don’t really know what is possible without taking the Senate, but I hope some Biden people have brilliant ideas for neutering the turtle.

They’ve spent 4 years ignoring subpoenas, norms, etc. Time to show them how it’s really done. I’m sure Joe and Kamala know every loophole there is to push through the appointments and legislation that needs to happen.

Must be kicked out of power. Render him into a flailing turtle helplessly
Stuck on the top of a fencepost and unable to do anything about it.

And let the republican party never be given power again forever. Let the right wing shrivel up and the evangelical churches dwindle into nothing.
Let quanon be ridiculed and rejected.

He will be evil and obstructionist til the end.

He needs to make his wife money before he dies.
