Whitehouse: "Today, I think is a sad and embarrassing day for this committee. As it looks like on a party-line vote, we are going to advance out of this committee probably the most discreditable person ever to seek the office of attorney general of the United States..."

I don't know which is sadder: the GOP moving Blanche's nomination forward or just the fact that he has been nominated as Attorney General of the United States of America. That position used to mean something. Now it's just a crime syndicate post.

We knew they’d all fall in line. They were well compensated with favors. And that’s the only reason they chose to be in public office -for the favors $$.

Republicans have an altogether different definition of discreditable. For them, it is solely about loyalty to the leader. Not loyalty to the people or the constitution, but to the convicted rapist and former game show host who sits atop their cult of personality.

only made possible by the weakness of Senate Democrats and Biden during the four long years that they sat on prosecuting Donald for insurrection.

He's right, of course. But does anybody else think that "Mister WhiteHouse" kind of sounds like some sort of pageant for men that Trump would make up himself and then compete in it and act totally shocked when he won?

You better believe whether you voted for him or not, If you step out of line, Trump and his AG will come for you. The fact he hasn't been denied already is a testament to the USAs completely dysfunctional legislature, who honors party loyalty over qualifications & character, factionalism over reason

Every Republican in Congress who intends to vote for Blanche's confirmation, first has to respond to Durbin's and Booker's comments POINT-BY-POINT, explaining why they "agree and support" with Blanche's actions in each case.

Unsure, I really think Elon rigged it. I'm sure a good amount did vote for this crap but I deeply feel Elon rigged it. Trump and Elon have said as much in the past.

To state the obvious, our democratic government is no longer functioning, so to say it's a sad and embarrassing day for that committee is pointless. That's like the fire department deliberately driving past your house fire and then blaming your smoke detector for the result.

Senator Sheldon Whitehouse tore into Todd Blanche and the Republican senators protecting him, exposing the Epstein cover-up, the Trump slush fund, and a Judiciary Committee that has traded oversight for obedience. Read the speech they would rather you ignore. essayx.substack.com/p/the-commit...

essayx.substack.comThe Committee That Rolled Over and Played DeadSenator Sheldon Whitehouse delivered a blistering warning about Todd Blanche, the Trump Justice Department, and a Senate committee surrendering its credibility to partisan loyalty.

The US MAGA Republican Party fears and hates women. It wants to control every aspect of women's lives, including their bodies and their reproductive health. For the MAGA-GOP, Margaret Atwood's "The Handmaid's Tale" wasn't a warning. It was a mission statement #ToddBlanche bsky.app/profile/josh...

So many reasons why he has proven beyond a reasonable doubt that he is wholly unqualified to be confirmed to this position. And yet is there even 1-2 valid reasons why he should have this appointment? I’ve yet to hear a single one. Just because Trump wants it doesn’t mean he deserves it.

I hope every Republican who votes for Blanche is voted out of office when they come up for reelection and get the message that there are still honest, honorable Republican citizens who love democracy.

They all own each other's corrupt asses because they all (both D's and R's) are guilty of taking billionaire donor money. This crap is nothing but redneck theater to make it look like any of them had any intention of blocking this idiot. 95% of them on both sides belong behind bars.

Blanche is an attorney and he knows what he is doing is criminal. Vote these Republican loyalists out of Congress! They are just as criminally liable as Trump, Blanche and the entire regime.
