At a minimum, he picked people of low moral character. They’re certainly compromised NOW — remember what happened to Nixon’s cabinet members

Well, he can’t do that if he is on the other side of the ground.

Yes. As I said, they can end the supermajority requirement (filibuster) if they want to. They did it a few weeks ago to push through a bunch of Trump appointees.

I recently read something that explains “knocker up of working people”. Knocking up is British for waking someone up. Before alarm clocks, people would hire someone to come by at an appointed time and (in the instance I was reading about) shoot dried peas at their window to wake them up for work.

Never. The mainstream media is captured, and the Rs won’t talk to anyone who will challenge them

It’s only “the democrats fault” to the extent that Rs need a few D senators to sign on to their bullshit and thus meet the 60 vote (supermajority) requirement to overcome a filibuster. Of course, Rs could change the supermajority requirement at any time, so … it’s totally not Ds fault
