Good news and bad news. Last week I was on a livestream when I heard that Trump was offered a deal which he rejected. The deal was to only select his VP from an "approved" group of VP candidates. Ever wonder why Killary said: "DeSantis will do as he's told." To me this was confirmation that the uniparty knows members by face & by name.
Over the past 2 weeks we've seen rats like Karl Rove (Bush Family/DeSantis) & Bill Barr crawl out of their holes w/excitement about Biden's collapse. The mainstream media began to conduct interviews with Rubio, Tim Scott, & that Berg guy who looks like the joker. They were actually vetting these RINOs for their donor class & doing it in our faces! I shrugged it all off until today.
Trump was determined to get to Milwaukee last night. Why the rush? During Convention Week, the nominee typically appears via video until he is scheduled to give an acceptance speech. Trump was shot on Saturday, so it wouldn't hurt for him to take a beat---take several beats!! Seems Trump knew he had to get to Milwaukee in person ASAP to name a "successor" and stand up in the face of evil. Sound crazy? Maybe.
I remember when Creepy Fake Christian Mike Pence was named as Trump's running mate. I was incredulous at this poor pick until someone told me that Pence was shall we say----a deeply compromised person, and "they" would have unalived Trump for choosing his own VP. I really thought that was "crazy talk" until Saturday. [It's also worth noting that Obama did NOT select Joe Biden, and Joe Biden certainly did not select Kamala Harris or anyone else in that cabinet.]
The Good News: Perhaps the enemy of our enemy is our friend: Zelensky loathes JD Vance, along with Fox News, Lindsey Graham, Rupert Murdoch, Koch brothers, Rove---they all hate him. Team Biden has already labeled Vance "EXTREME MAGA" and a Trump clone 🙄
My preference was Dr. Ben Carson, but JD Vance has a history of DEFENDING Trump in the face of lamestream media lies. Based on the online comments, Vance needs to prove his loyalty to those suffering from what I call C-PTSD: Creepy Pence Traumatic Stress Disorder:
Tumblr media
>JD Vance asked "is Trump Nixon or Hitler?" during a private text message convo with his Yale Law School Roommate now a progressive congressperson in GA: "I go back and forth between thinking Trump is a cynical a**hole like Nixon who wouldn't be that bad (and might even prove useful) or that he's America's Hitler. How's that for discouraging?"

A ray of hope from Tucker Carlson in response to Deep State sewer rat Lindsey Graham's FAKE Post about JD Vance: "Lindsey Graham is a liar. No one lobbied harder against JD Vance than he did and in the sleaziest, most vicious way. He was doing it this morning. This is why everyone hates Washington, because people like Lindsey Graham are happy to lie right to your face, smiling as they plot your destruction. It's disgusting."

'People can't afford to wait': Biden and allies push for quick confirmations of nominees, citing security threats
New Post has been published on https://appradab.com/people-cant-afford-to-wait-biden-and-allies-push-for-quick-confirmations-of-nominees-citing-security-threats/
'People can't afford to wait': Biden and allies push for quick confirmations of nominees, citing security threats
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
Biden’s transition team is beginning a new messaging push to urge Republican senators to swiftly confirm national security nominees — positions helming the Pentagon and the State, Homeland Security and other key departments — with Biden set to take office in eight days, a source familiar with the plans told Appradab. Politico was the first to report the Biden team’s effort.
Alejandro Mayorkas, Biden’s pick for Homeland Security secretary, is a top priority in their push, the source said. The Senate Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs Committee announced Tuesday afternoon that it would hold a confirmation hearing for Mayorkas on January 19.
That push is getting a boost from Senate Democrats, including top Democrat Chuck Schumer of New York, who told colleagues in a letter Tuesday that the riots at the US Capitol fueled by President Donald Trump last week and the economic costs brought on by the coronavirus pandemic make it particularly important for Biden’s Cabinet to be in place quickly.
“The violent insurrection at the U.S. Capitol on January 6th showed us we need qualified Senate-confirmed people (not in an acting capacity) in key national security positions on Day One, including Secretary of Defense, Secretary of Homeland Security, Secretary of State, Attorney General, and others. The economic challenges our nation faces also require having key economic nominees confirmed and on the job ASAP,” Schumer wrote.
Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell had promised to give Biden’s nominees votes, but had not committed to a timetable to do so. Democrats, though, will take the Senate majority as soon as Biden is inaugurated, thanks to wins in two Georgia US Senate runoffs last week and Vice President-elect Kamala Harris’ position as the tie-breaking vote in a 50-50 Senate. That could allow a Democratic-led Senate to move much faster on Biden’s nominees.
Louisiana Rep. Cedric Richmond, who will soon resign his House seat for a job in Biden’s White House, on Appradab Tuesday lambasted Senate Republicans for failing to hold hearings for Mayorkas and other national security nominees, as has been done for previous administrations.
“Almost every Homeland Security secretary has been confirmed on the first day, and that was in 2009 and 2017,” Richmond said. “So the fact that the Senate is not holding a hearing so we can confirm our national security members on day one is irresponsible to the American public.”
Biden intends to install acting agency heads at Cabinet departments when he takes office next week, a source familiar with the plans said.
The source said the President-elect will name career officials to serve as the interim heads at most of the Cabinet departments while the confirmation process plays out. Biden’s team, through its agency review teams and other consultations, has identified career officials who have served at these departments to take the helm in an acting manner.
They are also planning to name chiefs of staff and other senior political appointees not requiring Senate confirmation that can begin working at these departments on the first day of the Biden administration, the source said.
Last week’s deadly insurrection at the Capitol has heightened attention over security issues, leading Biden’s team and allies in Congress to start pushing for Cabinet confirmations to ensure there are no gaps when Biden takes office on January 20.
“We are in a pandemic, economic crisis, and facing serious security threats — people can’t afford to wait,” the source familiar with Biden’s plans said.
Other national security top spots the transition is seeking swift confirmation for are Lloyd Austin, whose nomination for defense secretary requires a congressional waiver, and Tony Blinken as secretary of state, along with Janet Yellen as treasury secretary.
“It’s my expectation and hope that the Senate will move to confirm these nominees promptly and fairly. It’s especially the case for the nominees secretary of state, defense, treasury, Homeland Security,” Biden said as he introduced another round of picks for economic posts last week.
“Given what our country’s been through the last four years, the last few days, given the threats and the risks of this world, they should be confirmed as close to January 20 as possible,” he said. “There should be no vacancies at state, defense, treasury and Homeland Security.”
With Congress now focused on a second impeachment of Trump, Biden expressed his hope Monday that the Senate would be able to “bifurcate” the process, splitting its time between a possible impeachment trial and confirming his nominees and advancing his agenda.
So far, the only confirmation hearings scheduled for Biden nominees are for Austin, Mayorkas and Yellen, all on January 19.
Trump’s choices for defense and Homeland Security secretaries were both confirmed on January 20, 2017; many other Cabinet nominees were confirmed within the next month.
President Barack Obama retained President George W. Bush’s defense secretary and saw his nominees for secretary of Homeland Security, education, energy, agriculture, interior and veterans affairs confirmed on his Inauguration Day, with others confirmed shortly afterward.
Several Bush Cabinet nominees were confirmed on his Inauguration Day, as well, including his nominees for secretary of defense, state and treasury.
“Regardless of any developments, with our national security at stake, the pandemic costing thousands of lives every day, and our economy in a historic recession, there is absolutely no justification for Republicans to jeopardize the ability of the United States government to keep the American people safe, distribute vaccines, and put Americans back to work,” said Andrew Bates, a Biden transition spokesperson.
“Many of these respected, qualified, crisis-tested nominees were announced in November, many have been previously confirmed, and their paperwork has been submitted. We look forward to continuing to work with both parties in good faith on timely confirmations,” Bates said.
This story has been updated with additional reporting on Biden’s plans.

1/23 DAY 4: TODAY IS GOING TO SUCK!- UPDATED!
ACTION:
Don’t Panic and Don’t start pointing fingers
Donate to the ACLU
Call the United States Capitol at 202-224-3121 and press 1 for the Senate or press 2 for the House, then you will be prompted to enter your zip code. Tell your members of Congress you are concerned about bill H.R 193, The American Sovereignty Restoration Act (aka the act to pull us out of the UN!)
Re-Read my Post from DAY 3, 1/22 on how to make a difference.
Gear up asks for my Senators when I visit their offices on Tuesday.
Find your Senators and their office/ contact info here!
 THE RESISTANCE- UPDATED
Rep Mike Rodgers (R-Ala) HR193 has issued a bill, that if passed would pull the United States Out of the UN! Must call 202-224-3121 to oppose this action ASAP! When you call press 1 for the Senate and 2 for the house to tell your member of congress you are opposed!
Updated Highlights:
The Road To Impeachment Continues! How appropriate for Trump to be hit with a lawsuit. This one is working to prove that DT is violating the US Constitution because as of 1/20, he is profiting from foreign governments.
A Federal Judge blocked a mega-merger between Athena and Humana because Monopolies are for board games! Consolidation in heath care is partly to blame for insanely high ACA premiums.
Meanwhile, we got a major update in Russiagate, Reports surfaced tonight revealing an official investigation into Trump’s National Security Advisor, Mike Flynn and Russia’s US Ambassador’s long distance relationship. Haters will say it’s paranoia…
The Decision on DACA is delayed for now…
Also very cool, official March Tallies are in! 1/100 Americans marched against this time warp agenda from the GOP and Donald Trump! Also if you were ever in doubt, The Pope is on your side! LOVIN the Pope lately.
TRUMPLAND- UPDATED
As Predicted, today was a whirlwind! WOAH, Where do I even start. Trump was intent to flex on us and show the world what HIS America is all about. Here is a list of today’s happenings in TRUMPLAND:
1. Looks like we’re not going to get Trump’s Tiny hands away from our lady parts (#Petty). Today he signed to reinstate the “Global Gag Order.” Wait,  what does that mean? Well, it means that the US will not give foreign aid to health groups that ever utter the word Abortion during family planning consultations. This is an order that has been resurrected from the Reagan era, in case you were wondering what decade we have been transported to. It was also ironic that only white men were around when this was signed! Memorize this number 202-224-3121.
2. Trump has signed a letter of intent to withdraw from the TPP, aka the Trans Pacific Partnership. He touted the action as a major victory for the American Worker. TBD if these are #AlternativeFacts (lies) or Actual Facts (Truths). It’s important to note that this move has bipartisan support (Fist bumps for Bernie). He did however promise a “Major Border Tax” on companies that moved jobs overseas. So we’ll have corporate tax cuts and border tax penalties for said companies? Something tells me that the relief from these tax cuts will more than cover the penalties from the border tax… but I’ll wait till we get some numbers to do the math.
3. Trump enacted a Federal hiring freeze under the false pretense he wanted to “Drain The Swamp” as well as curb the gross proliferation of federal jobs. SURPRISE these #TrumpStats are incorrect because, Charts or it didn’t happen!
4. Marco Rubio had a major FAIL Today. He buckled for whatever reason on his stand against Rexxon Tillerson, and his deciding vote (vote was 11-10 for Exxon Mobile) was the final push Rex needed for committee confirmation. Now it’s up to the Senate! These Senator’s phone lines need to be LIT with you calls! 202-224-3121!
5. Our BFF Spicer, attempted a do-over today following his disaster of a press conference last Saturday. Today wasn’t any better, not only did he continue to misrepresent the inaugural ratings, but he continues to refuse to acknowledge he lied about the size of the crowds, and then he had the audacity to say the honest and accurate coverage of the President elect by the press was too “Demoralizing…” hmmm kind of like being grabbed by the kitty against your will eh? I guess the Whitehouse is supposed to be one giant safe space now. He also tried his best to pretend like the agents were fiercely applauding Trump during his CIA Speech . Sigh… I guess #SpicerFacts are here to stay.
WHY ARE THESE CABINET PICKS ALMOST GUARANTEED APPROVAL AFTER ALL WE LEARNED IN THESE DAMN HEARINGS? I Have Concerns!
It should be noted that the democrats actually put us in this awkward position for this one, when they issued the “Nuclear option” in 2013. This constitutional option is a parliamentary procedure that allows the U.S. Senate to override a rule or precedent by a simple majority of 51 votes, instead of a supermajority of 60 votes. So basically majority rules, and Senators can block a filibuster by just having 51 votes instead of 60. Dems have 44 and Republican have 54 (I know, I know, WHY?!!!!). It’s like the butterfly effect right? While it helped get initiatives, like the ACA, to pass through the republican stalemate, it is now working against Dems in a dramatic fashion.
So the republicans can also just ram these people on through then? WRONG! In fact there are a number of Republicans and Trump voters that are deeply concerned with a lot of these nominees and they are letting their congressmen and women have it! So the GOP’s act of alignment with Trump can only go so far! So all parties that are concerned need to act fast!
