Am I freaking out over nothing? Orrin Hatch just jammed thru Mnuchin and Price

There's nothing standing in their way. Rules? We'll just change em.

1. Heck, the Constitution is just a goddamned piece of paper

[GliderGuider]

5. Remember "quaint"?

Same shit, now all grown up.

[dalton99a]

6. Yep.

[nikibatts]

2. It's just the way the GOP has always operated.

Can't win by the rules, change them or ignore them. That's how they roll. That's how they win. Can't win by telling the truth, make up a like and ridicule anyone who challenges your lie.

3. I didn't expect any other outcome but this.

[Laf.La.Dem.]

4. Obama did the same thing!!!

[Nwgirl503]

7. I can't even find a news story on it except for Huffpost

I feel like I'm living in an alternate universe right now.

8. Harry Reid got rid of the fillibuster for non SC appointments so no, there

is nothing standing in their way ......

9. No, it is good to freak out over this illegitimate abomination in the WH.

And all his minion picks. Never feel this was a normal election. Nothing normal about it.

10. Nope, it's over, we are toast

11. Welcome to the Rightwing Aryan States of America

Where you're supposed to do things the Trump way. Or else.

Resist. Obstruct. Fuck the Republican nazi scum.

12. This is what a united party looks like

For all the talk of rebels like McCain, they're ramming through everything on their agenda at political light speed. This is what happens when a mostly united party gets power.

Imagine what would have happened in 2009 had we been united behind like this behind the idea of single payer. There would be no Obamacare repeal.

13. It is good cause for a freak out.

[Hamlette]

14. this is not a time to freak out

we've outlasted bigger assholes in my lifetime. Also, remember, these people are not as powerful as you might imagine. Watch congress. Without the money or change in the law, the agency will be unable to do drastic shit. Same with many of the executive orders. Cabinet picks usually go through, even when the Prez doesn't control Congress. I've worked in government all my life, it will be worse, but it isn't a disaster.

Call, march, resist.

15. GOP has declared war on america for PARTY.
