  1. “He hadn’t been properly vetted.”

    Given the procession of ghouls, sex predators, and traitors…I wonder what their standards are?

  3. The bar isn’t low with this group. There is no bar at all.

  5. I didn’t read the article, but I would love for somebody to please explain to me how Trump’s team was blindsided. Please and thank you

  6. The strategy is probably to throw up so many shitty nominees that the majority get confirmed no matter what, even if a few fail.

  8. They weigh nothing. They expect the obsequious senate and house to pass everything.

  9. Donny has a special knack for finding the worst people ever for every position.

  10. Standards? Biden had men in dresses in his cabinet.

  11. It’s almost as if the Hegsweth nomination is political sleight of hand to distract us from the AG appointment.

  12. trump is a rapist and serial sexual predator. There are credible reports that his AG pick Matt Gaetz partied and had sex with a seventeen year old, and *that* behavior is being covered up by no less than the Speaker of the House.

    And yet, I am called to believe that this guy’s behavior is too problematic for trump and the GOP?

    My guess: The billionaires drew the line at appointing a Fox host as SecDef. An incompetent, corrupt AG is one thing – giving control of the US military to a fucking Fox weekend host is a whole different level of smoothbrain.

    Of course, I genuinely thought people would look at the two options in this election and make the sane choice, so take my opinions with a grain of salt.

  13. They aren’t vetting people at all, are they? 2017? It’s not like finding out your little old sweet neighbor who’s 100 years old was a Nazi in World war II! 2017 was just a few years ago! Don’t tell me for a second that they didn’t know this, and if they didn’t, what a bunch of fucking morons.

  14. D-Fens, this guy could give a royal rat’s $&@ about us or our country, appointing all these misfit idiots in crucial positions. No doubt he’s following Putins orders.

  15. Best part of this is that the Trump team hired a firm for background checks because they said the FBI would take to long. This according to the article.

  17. Couldn’t see his huge White Nationalist tattoo either I suppose. Shucks. Reflects poorly on Trump, Fox News (who hired him), and the Russians picking Trumps cabinet!

  20. Turns out the private vetting failed and maybe he should just let the FBI do their job.

    “The Trump team decided to outsource all vetting of the candidates to a private company rather than use the FBI. According to CNN, Trump’s team believes FBI background checks take too long.”

  21. Blindsided? Why? Did they think it wasn’t true and so were having second thoughts? I was convinced you had to be a sexist, sexual predator with convictions or strong evidence against you to qualify for his team…

  22. Trump is an idiot and has a reputation of revolving doors with his cabinet. You can give a man a crown but that doesn’t mean he’s a king, he just turned the palace into a circus!

  23. “There are no other skeletons to come out” A Ha Ha. A Ha Ha. Ha.

  24. The Trump team decided to outsource all vetting of the candidates to a private company rather than use the FBI.

  25. Why does Trump circle like assaulting women?

    Where does this come from.

    Sad…😢

  26. As a single white male. I want every Trump voter to get exactly what they asked for. I’ll be fine and I’ll laugh my ass off.

  27. You know someone’s bad if Trump’s team is admitting they may have made a mistake. Because no potential nominee can ever be too bad, and they never admit to making mistakes.

  29. Putin picks them. Trump nominates them. It’s meant to humiliate the US no matter how it goes.

  30. Maybe the FBI takes so long vetting someone because….. And this might shock them….. They actually vet the person and don’t just rubber stamp it.

  31. When 4 generals working under trump tell you he’s unfit, unhinged and a fascist you listen but the voters didn’t and we get what we deserve. Chaos, turmoil, cheating, lying, in civility and divisiveness for the next 4 years. Sad.
