The nominations of Matt Gaetz & Tulsi Gabbard are a test for the Republican senators; a test I cannot imagine them passing.
Rep. Gaetz is a sworn enemy of the DOJ.
Ms. Gabbard is (at best) a stooge for Russia & Syria or (more likely) an asset for our enemies.
Hire clowns, expect a circus.

"Bread and circuses" except the bread has never been more expensive and the circus is lining the pockets of the oligarchy.
it's notable to me that the administration tried to frame tonight's UFC event as a "gift to Americans" but you can't watch it unless you have a paid subscription to Paramount+

Is asking someone to leave the beverages at home for an interview as fussy as reminding a lady to wear pantyhose or a gentleman to ask before lighting a cigarette?
