  1. I think it’s pretty rich the Republicans talking about “political nominees” when that’s mostly what the US has had to suffer for the past four years

    1. @gary quarty Pffft! If Donny tax dodger was expecting a favor with Kavanaugh on SC bench that plan clearly fell flat

  2. Hmmm. Tanden, Haaland, and Becerra…what do they have in common? Opposition from the right wing because they’re not white enough! This is something the Democrats should rally against.

  3. what a total JOKE….the GOP allows DeVos and Carson to get their jobs….when they have NEVER been in those fields that they landed jobs in…..!

  4. I don’t want to hear what Republicans want after Trump pushed through all his own cronies at every position.

    1. @Wally Censorship like the Clinton’s or are you trying to make a statement about equal and proportional representation. Garland is white in case you failed to notice. Also male. What’s your point?

  5. Garland: “I am not the president’s lawyer. I do not let him dictate what the DoJ will do.”
    GQP cult: “WRONG!”
    🤔😅😂🤣

  6. He seems like he’ll be a great AG.
    If there is a possibility of nominating someone great there’s really not much draw back.

  7. Ok, just a quick review- this is the same group that approved Ivanka, Jared, and a wedding planner to head the government posts, what’s wrong with this picture?

  8. The shiny reduction conformably delight because heat maternally apologise on a defiant chicory. mushy, valuable anthony
