Thune’s GOP Caucus moves with record speed to confirm Trump Nominees

@SoDakCampaigns

Another one down!  The Senate confirmed another Trump nominee Tuesday evening to continue the record pace of confirmations that the Senate has been able to achieve under the leadership of Senate Majority Leader John Thune. As noted in the Daily Caller:

The Senate voted to confirm Wall Street investor Howard Lutnick as President Donald Trump’s Commerce Secretary along party lines Tuesday evening.

Senators voted 51 to 45 with Democratic Sens. Cory Booker of New Jersey and Gary Peters of Michigan and Republican Sens. Jerry Moran of Kansas and Dan Sullivan of Alaska not voting.

and..

While the Senate GOP secured the confirmation of Trump’s 17th cabinet nominee in 30 days, the Democratic-controlled Senate took nearly 60 days to confirm former President Joe Biden’s 17th cabinet nominee in 2021, according to a senior GOP aide.

“Under Leader [John] Thune and Whip [John] Barrasso, the Senate is moving at record speed to get the President’s Cabinet in place,” Kate Cooksey Noyes, communications director for Barrasso, said Tuesday.

    1. And when he gets confirmed the dems are going to go nuts…we’ll, more so than they already are.

  3. WTF, are you all f***king stupid? President Musk is running the country into the ground. Have you no friends or relatives that have Federal jobs that are getting fired? Whose going to clean the shitters at Mt. Rushmore for the fireworks. trump is now blaming ‘dictator’ Zelenskiy of invading Russia, JFC. Although we’ll get time shares at the trump Gaza Resort. I hope you all are glad musk will have access to all your personal information where they can cancel out your identity, social security, Medicare and audit your taxes. Read something besides fox entertainment. The country motto; Burn, baby, burn.

  4. Sure wish we had the old Cold War Republican Senators and Congressman right now that placed country over 1 man. This Fascist regime is damaging our relationships with strategic allies, about to throw Ukraine under the bus and possibly Taiwan too.

    What next US armed forces assist Russia with attacking Ukraine and the rest of Europe?

    1. MOSCOW (AP) January 17, 2022… Russia’s top diplomat angrily rejected U.S. allegations that Moscow was preparing a pretext to invade Ukraine, as Russian troops that are amassed near the Ukraine border launched more drills Monday. Speaking to reporters, Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov dismissed the U.S. claim as “total disinformation”.

      Imagine that – Russia lied. They invaded their neighbor 38 days later. Then they came up with all sorts of lame justifications for doing so.

      Now, a different US President actually is spreading “total disinformation”. Trump just blamed UKRAINE for the invasion.

      Come on now. Can you willingly believe lies that are this absurd?
