Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.
Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.
Example:
- Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
- Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
- No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.

All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.
That's all the rules!

What they don’t seem to understand is that Trump WANTS to sabotage the government. He WANTS to run it all into the ground. He doesn’t want to “drain the swamp,” he wants to turn it into a shit-filled cesspool of corruption. He sees what Putin has in Russia, and he wants that here.
He. Wants. To. Destroy. America.
B- b- but, make America great again /s
great for him
Do you really believe that Trump cares about 75 Nobel Laureates?
Trump nominates candidates, and the Senate confirms them. This letter urges not to confirm and is addressed to the members of the Senate.
Do you really believe the US Senate cares about 75 Nobel Laureates?
No.
*GOP
I can think of at least one Nobel laureate whom he really dislikes.
Donald Trump did not get re-elected by listening to experts....
This isn’t meant for trump.
Are any of those 75 Nobel Laureates Donald J. Trump? In not, then.... No. Not in the slightest.
They're trying to spend disney bucks at a Chuck E. Cheese.

It's just going to make me more angry when they ignore it and confirm him anyway.
It's nice of them to list their qualifications and the subject in which they earned a Nobel Prize. It makes it so much easier to Trumpistan to disregard them as "mainstream" and part of the commie woke academy.
If Trump or any of his lackeys respected the opinions of experts or the power of education, this letter would not need to have been written in the first place, because RFK would have been catapulted over the wall of the nearest insane asylum the second he opened his mouth. And besides, since when has Trump ever changed his views or his plans because smart people have told him not to go through with whatever dangerous bullshit it happens to be? His own team is unable to rein him most of the time, and he chose those people.
They think this will matter to anyone?
To some Senators, it might.
Republicans: Sure! Let's just file this under "To be shredded and laughed at while doing it".
