Abbott/Paxton/Patrick are such pussies.  Dotard keeps nominating all these people from Florida and elsewhere and the Texans don’t get a sniff.  
 

They’ll continue to get on their knees for him and he will just take advantage.

And give him free land for his deportation policies, even paying for the camps. Already are, why would Trump change it?

For those of us not wishing to give Fox News clicks, would you mind enlightening us?

In short, it says there are 4 appellate seats currently open that the Dems don’t have the votes to fill anyway, so they agreed to stop trying to fill them in exchange for Rs voting to appoint somewhere between 4 and 12 Biden nominees (the reporting is unclear on the exact number).

Remember, all of these folks who voted MAGA wanted to "drain the swamp."  So, obviously, the best way to do that is to set up a naked pay-to-play scheme where the super-rich trade monetary benefits granted to the president in exchange for positions of power.  Yep, that's how you root out corruption and such -- you make it the norm and the openly stated method of entry into government.

The signature DJT achievement has been turning all the scummy little implicitly transactional dealings in American government into very explicitly scummy transactional dealing.

Someone on this website insisted turnip had nothing to do with project 2025 and wouldn’t implement anything from it. Who was that?

 

NEW: Trump selects Russ Vought, architect of Project 2025 chapter, to lead White House budget office

Vought has:
- Asserted presidential authorities to unilaterally claw back spending, w/o Congress
- Said "we are living in a post-Constitutional time"
- Has crafted plans for Trump to deploy the military to quash civil unrest and seize more control over the Justice Department
- Aggressive proponent of using "Schedule F" to strip protections from much of the federal workers

DC Draino only pawn in game of life

The theory I'd heard was that putting him up for AG gave them the "cover" to kill the Ethics Report. He was told he had to get out of Congress and this was the deal he struck. He'll probably get rich from speaking engagements to other pervs.

Way too sophisticated.  Trump wanted a sycophant AG and Gaetz wanted the job.  Simple as that.  It backfired because dipshits.
