Summary
President-elect Donald Trump’s team warned Republican lawmakers to support his controversial Cabinet picks or risk facing primary challenges funded by Elon Musk.
Amid scrutiny over nominees like Matt Gaetz for attorney general and Pete Hegseth for defense secretary, Trump insisted the president determines the Cabinet.
Resistance has grown among Senate Republicans, including Sen. Thom Tillis, opposing “recess appointments” to bypass confirmation.
Senators like Josh Hawley and Mitch McConnell emphasized the need for proper constitutional vetting of nominees despite Trump’s pressure tactics.
Wow.
He’s basically threatening to “buy” them out of office with his billionare friend’s money if they even question his picks.
What’s the word I’m looking for… Nepotism? That doesn’t seem to cover it.
Corrupt. The word is corrupt.
Also fascist.
Hmm, one guy… at the top… threatens other government officials if he doesn’t get exactly what he wants…
Coming up empty. 😐
Yeah…
All I can think of is my cheap groceries
And how you won’t see cheap groceries again?
That was sarcasm
