This person, so corrupt and unfit, will be confirmed.

All of them will be, and at the same time ACA will be repealed WITHOUT a replacement and this will all happen in a few days from now.

These appointees and the republicans in power will take Medicare and Medicaid and food stamps and eventually Social Security and they will do it quickly.

Yes we need to protest as if our lives depend on it and we need to encourage republicans to wake up and join us, but they are going to do it anyway.

They are not going to let this power go to waste. They see a chance to wipe out 100 years of progress by liberals and they are going to do it. Some of us wont be able to literally survive as a result. Hopefully people will protest until the policies kill them, and they will.

people stay home and bitch and whine about not being excited or that things are perfect enough, etc. The rotten right wingers win and use their power. Simple as that. And this is what happens when the DNC and other Democratic organizations and candidates have done a bad job organizing, MESSAGING, and campaigning.

Hopefully lessons will FINALLY be learned and serious reform in how the party does things will improve BIGTIME and FAST. And hopefully people will get off their lazy rear end and, um, go VOTE.

at the moment. What a corrupt POS...Warren does a brilliant job of exposing him. Can't believe someone like this could be confirmed, but we are truly living in dangerous times.

to personally profit themselves.

Always and only why they go, other than to deny other people their rights, they like that too.
