How right leaning is a question mark

If Dems retain the Senate, it’ll be 50-50 again. That means Senators will have enormous weight to bear on who she appoints.

If GOP wins Senate, John Thune isn’t going to let her confirm anyone.

Which means people like Julie Su at Labor still stay in “Acting” roles which is actually good

fair warning this isn't true for some commissioner position like the FTC's lina khan

the president can replace lina's acting authority with another one of the five FTC seats (which is 3 democrats 2 republicans iirc) without senate approval

Like what's stopping MAGA voters from joining this? If you aren't getting new voters. He's just effectively throwing money away.


I say keep going, let him cook. It's a perfect Elon grift: bull rushing into a field he knows nothing about, throwing all the consensus ideas out the window, and doing his own thing. So you pay a bunch of people to sign petitions and pledge to knock on doors. Guess what...they take the cash and don't do shyt.

Yes. Lina Khan doesn’t need to be confirmed as a commissioner of the FTC again. She got confirmed with 69 Senators in 2021 and Biden immediately named her chair.

So yes, POTUS can make one of the other commissioners as chair. But that’s a radioactive move by Kamala if she does that. Many members of the House and Senate support Lina. And I’m not talking progressives but many normie Dems and blue dogs.

Maybe the Hulkkkster can get him some more votes.

:mjlol:


I keep saying it, but the real battle will begin when white conservative voters finally accept that they are a minority. Right now they are living in a 1950s and 1980s delusion. When that moment inevitably happens is when the future of a democratic republic will be decided.
