Rachel Maddow points out that while it is unusual for a president to begin his term with no members of his cabinet confirmed by the Senate, in the wake of Donald Trump, many departments are accustomed to being led by acting secretaries who were never confirmed. Aired on 01/20/2021.

Biden Begins Presidency With No Confirmed Cabinet Members Thanks To Slow-Acting Senate
A freak nation of scammers and conmen Destroying their own country for greed and corruption
@MrHalified bruh now you just sound stupid af. sometimes silence is better. You made Adrien Roy look dumb af too for defending you😂 Please keep going. Were having a blast on my end triggering all you ❄️🤣
@You mad bruh? clever. Once again, it’s better when your silent.
@Adrien Roy once again I got you to answer😂
@Puddlethumper * those two things have nothing to do with each other.
You got that right Daniel !
Hey everybody, he has hairy legs. And they turn blonde in the sun.
Hey Paul Catt: You have whites in your eyes that turn red when you’re high.
So…he cant get them confirmed quickly with a democratic majority in both houses of congress?
oh that’s right.
Very important fact that will help him cheat his way through the affairs of a nation and the world.
@John Watt ” I told them to fire him or your not getting the billion dollars”

@Neal Head: It was President Trump who made temporary appointees to circumvent vetting procedures so he could have friends, not professionals, do his bidding.
I’m so tired of living through major historical events.
@Shadow Sage Umm, in case you didn’t know the Russian thing was proven a media hoax. And Democrats butthurt led to his impeachment again which he will be exonerated again for. Hillary and Pelosi is blaming the Capitol occupation on Russia again in case you didnt listen to the podcast. It’s amazing neither of them had a problem with it when liberals did a similar thing at the Capitol during Kavanaugh’s confirmation. Just amazing.
@Shadow Sage lol 😆 all debunked
Odd his January 6th speech was good multiple times said to peacefully protest and cheer for the Republicans to be strong n stand up to the democrats …
Russia yeah proven that Obama n Hillary Clinton made it all up but they were spying in trumps campaign which is very illegal..
Dude I don’t think its worth it anymore these dumb liberals and democrats will never learn only way is if a few 20 million die then they will learn thier place under the backbones foot
😆
@sofsnof – Yes, I can’t wait to go back to the old boring “normal”.
Shut up. How can anyone listen to this ?
Terrible governance for 4 years…? 🤨
Can someone please tell me why, in the midst of a national crisis, the Senate decided to take a vacation? What are we paying these people for?
You’ll notice also that the press says nothing about this. Corporation time??
@nazikiller01 the Press ? Or do u mean The Fake News ? MSNBC SUCKS
House did the same thing. Nancy just brought them back a few days early.
Cause it’s free money from you and we don’t gripe about it
Cause they feel like it lol
And….. still ratio’d. More people are waking up to your attempted propaganda.
Is anyone friggin’ surprised?! “Come on man!”
Our founding fathers are rolling in their graves only if they Could see us now
@Tommy Easton
You didn’t do well in school, at all, did you?
@Kilal Googlestaffers oh kilal…u just watch. 👀
@Kilal Googlestaffers #welfareparadise
@Tommy Easton <--loves fascism
@Christina Vaccaro
Child.
I’ve been watching, for 65 years.
Slow Senate? Why weren’t they this slow to corrupt the Supreme Court at the last minute?
Problem with your uneducated comment is; the list of rulings by the SCOTUS this past Fall and Winter were hardly in the Conservatives favor. With Kavanaugh and Roberts not voting along party lines.
Unprecedented… UNPRECEDENTED! The word of January is “unprecedented”
@Antonio Sanchez lol yes if January had a phrase of the month, it would definitely have to be “historically unpredictable”
@Antonio Sanchez but i have a feeling that “historic” will be overused even more next month …that or “reality”
tis that
https://youtu.be/0AcMp9JJ8q0
oh yes
Wish it was “UNPRESIDENTED”
unprecedented historic iconic blasted slams
They slow walked trumps administration confirmations as well. Massive hearings. Smearing and preventing the cabinet from filling.
Nobody is there in the cabinet huh..
Just like my company
Making excuses already…..
“Come on man”
Better get use to it Lmao that’s what’s going to happen the next 4 years
Joe Biden 🍌🍌🍌🍌
@razer yup
“Full blown Senate confirmed”…is that what we’re calling it now?
And I’m sure Richard that Democrats had no part in any of it did they?
Their embarrassed to HAVE to represent Biden… In order to keep their position and jobs. I would be.
Key word “Confirmed” I think you should get closer to your facts
They have begun to institute the “its Trump’s fault” narrative for the Lefts future failures!
What’s the hurry? The seats are being auctioned off to the highest bidders.
