Any chance Paul opposes Sessions? Or Collins?

Or Murkowski, Lee, Hatch? Mormons are not big fans of minority-haters.

There are quite a few republicans I can see voting against Sessions. My worry is I can see every single one of them voting for him too.

Being conservative and supporting law and order is not the same thing as hating minorities.

Sessions has a history of hating minorities however.

No to sound like a hack, but Trump's picks so far have had incredible amounts of baggage and stem quite a bit of hatred from the left. To say these have been unwise choices would be an understatment. Trump is setting himself up for confirmation battles and bad press, why?

[Fusionmunster]

Jeff Sessions already has great bipartisan support. Joe Manchin is backing him.

Thats not saying much.

[Fusionmunster]

Just give it to Romney, he's the only reasonable choice of the bunch.

[Fusionmunster]

Another reasonable choice.

Whoever it is, please for the love of god don't let it be Guiliani.

Can't wait to breathe in all that mercury...

LEAK: MITT FOR SOS

Im on mobile so it asked if I wanted to open your link with the YouTube app. Nice try though.

Puzder confirmed:

BREAKING: Hardee's/Carl's Jr. CEO Andy Puzder will be named Trump's labor secretary nomination. Announcement coming shortly.

Dude is one of the biggest proponents of past immigration reform (i.e. legalization & citizenship), lol

What a cuck!

On a more serious note, Trump should have picked a fast food CEO who runs a less sh**tty Fast Food company. I'd be onboard with Jack in the Box, for all your hangover needs

Yeah. Ive never been to a decent Hardees or Carls Jr in my life. Been to plenty of nice, clean Burger Kings, Wendy's and Mcdonalds though.

I'm surprised Giuliani is out. He could run for mayor again in 2017.

He could try, and loose badly.

[Fusionmunster]

Hopefully this CIA news prevents a Tillerson nomination. I never thought I'd be rooting so hard for Romney.

If not, we might at least get a no vote from Grahm.

[Fusionmunster]

We've got are first official confirmation fight on our hands. Congrats Trump.

[Fusionmunster]

Are there any democrats that could make up for the inevitable Mccain, Graham no votes.

Possibly Heitkamp for Tillerson.

[Fusionmunster]

I am hopeful there are enough republicans to block Tillerson and Bolton. McCain and Grahm are probably no votes, and then hopefully Corker and Collins.

[Fusionmunster]

Even FBM sounds like a NO on Tillerson:

Marco Rubio ‏@marcorubio  13m13 minutes ago
Being a "friend of Vladimir" is not an attribute I am hoping for from a #SecretaryOfState - MR

Little Marco is too cowardly to vote no

Now that they've won re-election, Rubio and McCain have alot more breathing room to speak out. Whether they do or not remains to be seen.

[Fusionmunster]

Trump realizes by now McCain and Graham are no votes, right? That Tillerson might not even make it out of committee, right?

[Fusionmunster]

Trump's Israel Ambassador pick is a certified nutcase and conspiracy theorist

It's been speculated this pick will piss off Netanyahu because Friedman is to his right and it will make it harder for Bibi to fend off attacks from the Israeli right.

I heard he's against the two state solution. Good. That'll only accelerate a single, unified Palestine where the Palestinians eventually become a demographic majority.

Dear lord Beet, where does it end with you?
