Not one single Democrat voted to confirm this pos, even 2 Republicans sat it out.

Funny how it’s always one fewer republican than is necessary to kill the bill or confirmation, wouldn’t you say?

Also funny how those senators that voted no are up for reelection this year and won their primary...

Lol. Lets just argue about whether the primaries are important or not, and do absolutely nothing in the midterms because the candidates are not important to me and im distracted by the issue du jour. Bold strategy, lets see how it works out for the country.
