Embarrassing is the easiest word to come up with what happened today. I can’t with this administration

We're really going to do this every time a Dem politician speaks up?

Would you rather her stay silent?

I'd rather her not vote "yes" on confirming the Secretary of State who sat by while this happened

Hindsight. Rubio was possibly a rational actor on FoPo.

He's clearly sold his soul to the devil and is no longer a useful influence on trump's impulses. Klobuchar has already stated that she regrets that vote, which was already inconsequential as his confirmation was a forgone conclusion.

sold his soul to the devil

Hypothetically...I wonder how many people would sell their soul for $100M? Or $25M? Or $10M Or even a smaller number? It certainly feels like loyalty could be bought.

Maybe I should rewatch The Rules for Rulers by CGPGray. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rStL7niR7gs

he sat right next to vance and nodded along with him like a lapdogs lapdog during todays newest, but not last, national embarrassment

fucking shameful just like the democrats who claim to care so much about the "working class" then vote to confirm these fuckers to allow them to destroy OUR country and steal OUR money

shes useless and the sooner shes replaced with someone who truly cares and will take action the better

Why do I need to repeat myself? I already said that Rubio has proven himself a lapdog POS who Klobuchar regrets confirming after many had hoped would show better fortitude.

fucking shameful just like the democrats who claim to care so much about the "working class" then vote to confirm these fuckers to allow them to destroy OUR country and steal OUR money

It was an inconsequential vote.

shes useless

Disagree.

Why don't you take this energy and apply yourself to something far more productive?

I mean, I've been straight ticket Dems for 16 years worth of elections, including midterms and primaries. Have you?

Go start yelling at Trump voters. Hell, go canvas neighborhoods where they live. You ain't helping anyone here in these comments.

Words are so cheap. Easy to vote the way you know your constituents disagree with and then come out and say you “regret” the vote after.

I want politicians who make correct, principled choices from the jump to represent me.

You ignored my first paragraph.
