One of only jobs he can get in the administration because he couldn't get confirmed to work as a Capitol groundskeeper

the only reason he was not confirmed was because he was filibustered and those rules no longer apply. He'd only need 51 votes, and he'd get them.

He will give us the hot war Trump wants.
