Trump Cabinet confirmation hearings **live commentary thread**

[🦀🎂🦀🎂]

Khizr Khan, two DREAMers, and Al Sharpton are there as guests of Senate Democrats.

LMAO! They still don't get it.

Sadly, you're right. Dems are dumb pt. 267373

You guys seen that TV show where Jack Bauer is HUD sec and becomes president because of the line of succession? Would be hilarious if it happened with this guy.

Would be more damaging for GOP Senators regarding their re-election chances to vote against Trump then to support his nominees.

These liberals and far-left activists opposing DeVos will never vote for a GOP Senators regardless of his vote on her confirmation. Way easier to lose support from the GOP base than gaining support from Dems.

I imagine the 'gop base' don't really give a crap about DeVos either way.

Good, glad she was confirmed. Democrats engaged in so much damn character assassination on this confirmation hearing. not only on DeVos but on all education advocates who supported charter schools or private vouchers.

Surely having such an elitist simpleton as your figurehead kind of undermines the cause of "education reformers", no?

[🦀🎂🦀🎂]

Would it be a bit much for Democrats to troll about unregulated charters meaning RADICAL ISLAMISTS!!! would be able to receive funding for their schools?

Is Manchild an idiot? I can understand voting for Sessions in West Virginia, but some Wall Street slime creature?

Ugh Ross and Pruitt are definitely the most repugnant members of the new cabinet. Can't believe Dems didn't make more of the fact that Ross's negligence lead to several deaths of coal miners.
