16 Dem Senators Voted To Give Musk Team Access To Treasury Payment System [View all] Rendville Feb 2025 OP

Why the fuck would they do that? SheltieLover Feb 2025 #1

I don't EVER want to hear anybody say a peep when we talk about primarying Bluetus Feb 2025 #13

I hope ALL get voted out! SheltieLover Feb 2025 #22

WE have to organize for that. Bluetus Feb 2025 #39

I'll do my best to make sure there is a consequence Mountain Mule Feb 2025 #139

Be careful what you wish for. You may end up with a Senate with 75 or 80 Republicans. Wiz Imp Feb 2025 #114

Like Bluetis said LW1977 Feb 2025 #121

There are Dems in leadership who work solely on behalf of the donors. Yavin4 Feb 2025 #14

I wonder if Chuck Schumer is one of them. Baitball Blogger Feb 2025 #17

Schumer only cares about campaign donations Yavin4 Feb 2025 #21

He did NOT vote yes on the Secy of the Treasury Lulu KC Feb 2025 #93

He needed to prevent members of his caucus that he's the leader of to not vote for this Secy of Treasury. Yavin4 Feb 2025 #94

And so, apparently can "Democrats" n/t Lulu KC Feb 2025 #95

No he wasn't according to the link. JohnSJ Feb 2025 #45

No he is not on the list of people who voted to confirm the Secy of the Treasury Lulu KC Feb 2025 #92

Chuck Schumer beyondtimes Feb 2025 #98

Neoliberals playing all sides malaise Feb 2025 #23

Sickening! SheltieLover Feb 2025 #27

As always. GPV Feb 2025 #46

They need to go! SheltieLover Feb 2025 #26

Because the senate democratic caucus leaders insist that normal processes apply. Voltaire2 Feb 2025 #31

Wtaf? Sounds like the band playing while Titanic sank.. SheltieLover Feb 2025 #70

They didn't. They voted to confirm a Treasury Secretary, not Musk. nt pnwmom Feb 2025 #36

Thank you. choie Feb 2025 #76

They voted to confirm a Trump cabinet nominee. Wicked Blue Feb 2025 #78

I think it's better that they distinguish between qualified nominees like Bessent and nutcases like RFk. pnwmom Feb 2025 #83

TY! SheltieLover Feb 2025 #89

I think it's better that they refuse to vote for any Trump nominee. At all. Do not help the Republican majority. Period. ancianita Feb 2025 #96

That's not the issue. The issue is that the title of the OP was false. pnwmom Feb 2025 #144

The OP is about the consequence of 16 senators' votes, and so indirectly true. ancianita Feb 2025 #147

No, it's false, plain and simple. "Indirectly true" sounds like a Trumpism. We're better than that. nt pnwmom Feb 2025 #153

"Qualified" ideologues are worst than crackpots. valleyrogue Feb 2025 #138

That's your opinion. It doesn't change the fact that the title of the OP was false. nt pnwmom Feb 2025 #145

How can you say he's qualified when he immediately opened the system to a non elected questionseverything Feb 2025 #142

His qualifications were based on his HISTORY, not his decisions going forward. nt pnwmom Feb 2025 #146

OP should be removed SCantiGOP Feb 2025 #90

Agree. Misleading titles are not helpful, even if clarified in the body of the post. nt Susan Calvin Feb 2025 #112

No it isn't Cirsium Feb 2025 #137

It is false because they did not vote to give Bessent that authorization. No Treasury Secretary has ever pnwmom Feb 2025 #154

Of course they did! Cirsium Feb 2025 #155

They shouldn't have voted to confirm any of these crooks. orangecrush Feb 2025 #120

Because they're rich and stand to gain from it. Oneironaut Feb 2025 #67

That's false. They recognize the difference between a nominee with deep experience, even if he's conservative, pnwmom Feb 2025 #130

It is not real n/t Lulu KC Feb 2025 #87

No. The headline is bait. mzmolly Feb 2025 #134

It's not real. There was no vote to give the Musk team access to the Treasury payment system. N/T lapucelle Feb 2025 #163

What benefit do they see in legitimizing a fascist regime? Think. Again. Feb 2025 #2

What benefit do you see in an OP title that is false? Are you assuming DUers can't read and think? nt pnwmom Feb 2025 #84

May I ask what you're referring to? (I didn't write the OP) Think. Again. Feb 2025 #97

Read the body of the post. It does not reflect the title. nt Susan Calvin Feb 2025 #113

I don't think we have time to pretend that Dem Senators are oblivious to what is happening. Think. Again. Feb 2025 #128

Oh, I completely agree. Susan Calvin Feb 2025 #140

Not that I think any Democrat should vote for any Trump nominee. I don't. Susan Calvin Feb 2025 #115

This message was self-deleted by its author ReRe Feb 2025 #150

I'd say primarying any Dem that DOES vote "yes" to anything from the right is probably a 'must do' right now. Think. Again. Feb 2025 #151

This headline is misleading. There has not been a vote approving Musk for anything. 33taw Feb 2025 #3

And written by an account that's been here less than a week Mountainguy Feb 2025 #5

What did you think these appointees were going to do. Bluetus Feb 2025 #18

You mean the ones that were going to be appointed anyway? Mountainguy Feb 2025 #44

ESPECIALLY the ones that were going to be appointed anyway Bluetus Feb 2025 #54

That's hardly the point. choie Feb 2025 #77

Agreed, this is misleading mainer Feb 2025 #8

It's not misleading. It's flat out Bullshit. Wiz Imp Feb 2025 #116

No. But claudette Feb 2025 #11

And then what? The outcome is the same. Mountainguy Feb 2025 #19

It would show claudette Feb 2025 #20

Maybe, but why the FUCK would any Democrat give support to FoxNewsSucks Feb 2025 #68

I don't recall Trump or Musk Mountainguy Feb 2025 #72

Many will, but Trump can always nominate someone worse. 33taw Feb 2025 #28

These senators voted for this appointment. Voltaire2 Feb 2025 #38

It depends. If the person who they confirmed as treasury secretary gave every indication that he would be a proxy for JohnSJ Feb 2025 #41

The OP title clearly says "musk team". Think. Again. Feb 2025 #99

lol, ok Mountainguy Feb 2025 #4

Why are they claudette Feb 2025 #10

Why shouldn't they? Mountainguy Feb 2025 #16

My claudette Feb 2025 #25

So...tilt at windmills? Mountainguy Feb 2025 #48

What does that mean? claudette Feb 2025 #50

How does voting no, with no chance to stop them Mountainguy Feb 2025 #52

It doesn't fix the problem claudette Feb 2025 #56

But, most of them ARE Mountainguy Feb 2025 #60

The point is claudette Feb 2025 #63

But that's not how confirmation votes go Mountainguy Feb 2025 #64

Never been a mass opposition? Well there should be now. sprinkleeninow Feb 2025 #101

Are you seriously comparing Hillary Clinton to the likes of woman-abuser and drunk Hegseth, FoxNewsSucks Feb 2025 #105

How many Dems voted for Hegseth? RandomNumbers Feb 2025 #122

Not exactly the point. FoxNewsSucks Feb 2025 #143

Trump was legitimately elected too Mountainguy Feb 2025 #149

If it makes you feel better to believe that republicons are honest FoxNewsSucks Feb 2025 #157

Hard to say it's not what the public wants Mountainguy Feb 2025 #162

So stick to norms while people are hurting... I don't feel that safe uponit7771 Feb 2025 #161

Solidarity at least, flight them as much a possible at every turn uponit7771 Feb 2025 #160

There's one thing here I always read. I suggest others in this thread do the same. n/t rzemanfl Feb 2025 #108

That nominee didn't say he'd let Musk do that. This would have happened under anyone Trump appointed. pnwmom Feb 2025 #49

So claudette Feb 2025 #51

The nominee had deep financial experience and isn't a nutcase like some of the others. pnwmom Feb 2025 #59

Doesn't matter claudette Feb 2025 #61

We don't need to send that message to Dumpy. It's the voters we need to keep in mind. nt pnwmom Feb 2025 #73

Thanks for being reasonable moonbeam23 Feb 2025 #110

Please change your misleading headline. Ms. Toad Feb 2025 #37

My take: sprinkleeninow Feb 2025 #119

They were not voting on whether a musk should have access to the Treasury Ms. Toad Feb 2025 #141

I reported this mzmolly Feb 2025 #135

No. They voted to confirm Scott Bessent. He is the one who gave Musk access. Autumn Feb 2025 #47

Why???? maccafan Feb 2025 #55

This Treasury Secretary, Scott Bessent position on tariffs should disqualify him. He seems like something like Peter JohnSJ Feb 2025 #57

But DON'T YOU DARE post anything here negative about them. BamaRefugee Feb 2025 #58
