The reason why 99 Senators voted for his confirmation is that HE WAS A SENATOR AT THE TIME. Very typical of the Senate's "professional courtesy" and sense of itself.

I am not sure if you are trying to excuse this or rail against this kind of behavior that honestly got us here? It's also some level of 'professional courtesy' that the Democrats and Biden didn't prosecute any of Congress that participated in J6, so I think it's BS.

I'd also add, not meaning approval, that Congress is not able to prosecute anyone, and that Biden meant to follow an honorable tradition by being totally hands-off with the DOJ. As for Garland, Obama nominated him for the Supreme Court as someone he tbought Republicans would find acceptable. :-/

I'm not AT ALL in favor of it. The remark was sociological. As a very powerful body of only 100 individuals serving SIX-YEAR terms, the Senate's always been clubby. Ds shouldn't have supported Rubio but are inveterate rule-followers & may have thought that as "one of us" he'd be reasonable. Ha.

​🚨 URGENT: Threatening "nuclear" catastrophe in Iran and ignoring the Bill of Rights at home. Congress is silent while Americans die in an illegal war. Demand impeachment and the reclamation of war powers NOW! ​Stop the madness. Contact Congress with @resist.bot: resist.bot/petitions/PL...

We set Middle East on fire, resulting in closure of critical waterway. Totally normal for president and chief diplomat to go to a UFC match. Great use of time and resources.

And look who’s just behind grinning like an idiot: frying pan faced daughter Tiffany. A bigger question is what the hell was TRUMP doing there while his lap dog JD VancyPants is “negotiating” world peace supposedly? Giving me a vibe I can’t indentify but what could it be?? Hmmmmmm

It's not as though he is actually qualified to do anything more that the other unqualified representatives there. But I get the point of it otherwise being a bad look in the real world.

In my humble opinion, the President and SoS should be in the Situation Room, prepared to receive real-time intelligence & provide direction, instead of attending social events out of town. Their behavior may be interpreted as a sign the United States is not prioritizing a peaceful resolution. 🤷‍♀️

Legit question -why wasn't he a part of the negotiations w/Iran? Sec. of State is "the President’s principal advisor on foreign policy, managing int'l relations, negotiating treaties, and representing the U.S. abroad." Yet he's at a wrestling match in FL and Jared & the real estate guy are w/Iran?

So glad to see America is taking the Iran/global catastrophe seriously. The top US foreign relations diplomat at UFC while an estate agent, husband of the daughter of an imbecile president and a....Well what is Vance? Are trying to negotiate an almost impossible deal where IRAN HAS THE CARDS!!!

Im really loathe to look it up, but I remember a story where he was freaking out about a bar in his hotel being closed, or something similar about a year ago. His deal with the devil requires a lot of substance abuse.

They say he does not drink but he is always surrounded by alcohol at Mar a lago. According to Noel Casler he is an Adderal addict. I have seen on video chunk flying out of his nose. He snorts it.

Trump is a classic "dry drunk" All the pathology w/o actual alcohol (On top of the psychopathy, sadism and dementia.)

WHO T F ARE YOU TALKING TO!? MAGA isn't impeaching him. The feckless Dems don't have the votes. Vance is needed to invoke the 25th! That's not going to happen, either. We don't want Trump martyred! Uhg 🖕🍊🍕💩

Not only are we suffering from acute anxiety as we worry about WHAT HE’S GOING TO DO NEXT, but we have brought this on many other countries as well. It’s not fair. We must stop this madness now.

Which would rally his base, distract from the Trump-Epstein files and the war, make him a victim right before midterms bc Rs wont remove and even if they did we get Vance. We need to flip him into a lame duck.

Rubio will either be the nomination or will go down with the ship. Very interesting how Bannon, Miller & Co. are handling this part of the MAGA legacy

* Trump is a insane, strait of hormuz cornered fear-bitting-rat that will not back down & will survive at any cost. This is how a Nuclear World War is started by a Jim Jones or David Koresh or Marshall Applewhite or charles Manson. And Republicans/MAGA-base/Fundamentalists WILL OWN IT. *

Speaking of Kash,wondering if his days are numbered in Trump’s administration. I bet some ofTrump’s enablers are wondering if they are on their way. Waiting for the dreaded phone call. Trump, will butter them up tell them how good they are and a wonderful solider before he tell them they are fired.

They are in for a bumpy ride. Inquiring minds want to know if they will “beg” for their jobs. Pam, was a loyal soldier look what happened to her. Oops! A lot of sleepless night ahead for the “great big beautiful enablers” Oops!

Trump's profile looks so much like Hitchcock's, another nasty misogynist creep. I hate to admit that Hitchcock at least made interesting movies, esp. Rope, The Man Who Knew Too Much, and North by Northwest. Trump has done absolutely nothing that is good. He's just a vicious asshole.

Iran is aware of the thievery and evil of Donald Trump and all of his criminal buddies. Trump thinks he can win back some stupid Americans by hurting Iranians. All he will accomplish is his death, which we all pray for. He is a totally evil thief, murderer, rapist, and total loser. Hell’s his home

Very important talks going on. You can see Rubio as the mediator here as Trump and Dana White negotiate for how many undercards there are going to be on the Inaugural “South Lawn Blood Fest!”

This was Bush jrs ploy when he ran for re-election after the world knew he and his handlers had launched their illegal war of choice based on lies. Don't change horses in midstream. He was elected then immediately went after SS. Voters didn't care about 4,000 dead GIs but don't touch grandmas SS!

It certainly sounds like this was not actually a negotiation at all, but rather just the US trying to dictate terms, assuming once again that playing tough would force Iran to fold. Bluff called, Vance takes small pot of chips and storms off. Historic, marathon talks, or so says the NYTimes. SMH
