  1. >Late on Tuesday, The Senate confirmed the nominees – including the controversial confirmation of **ex-NFL star Herschel Walker as the U.S. ambassador** to the Bahamas – by using what’s known as the “nuclear option,” a procedure that allows for legislative leadership to bypass the 60-vote threshold by changing or eliminating the filibuster requirement for a particular vote.

  2. The ex Tea Party / current Freedom Caucus kowtowing to Orange Julius Seizure is a deplorable party and actually calling real republicans Rinos is so ironic. They have become a joke that has no humor

  3. Drink that gelatinous orange kool aid you Qanon morons.

  4. I don’t think this guy is much of a political scientist if he’s stunned by anything at this point.

  7. The headline is a few years behind. It’s been clear they became a cult years ago

  8. With the project 2025 maga bible published and the devastation of the government these past 9 months, no one is allowed to be suddenly “stunned” now. No one.

  10. Why did I know this, and scream it from the rooftop in 2015?? This Poly Sci guy is just now getting it? God damn people are effing stupid, blind, just dumb.

  11. The current media environment, and the downfall of the monoculture, makes this all possible. Republican politicians believe, with good reason, that they will pay no meaningful or long-term price when many of these appointees prove to be corrupt, incompetent, or both.

  13. Hands down this disgraceful point in political history will ve archived & studied. Shocking the damaged caused in such a short period of time
