This is some muther f⁕⚠︎ing crazy 💩.

Starting to seem a lot like end-days.

@Nonilex
Welp. The horn has sounded, the riders sortied and the hounds unleashed. Anything and anyone that remotely looks like a fox are going to be skinned.

@Nonilex "[so, to protect the country from #Trump]"
It makes me very sad to say "sure, like that's gonna happen"

@Nonilex A #Congress that says, "come lie to us, executive branch nominees, in sworn testimony in confirmation hearings, we don't care!" isn't a Congress that will be taken seriously by the executive branch. What happened with this vote is dangerous to checks and balances. Even if they wanted to confirm this Trump toady for being a Trump toady, they should have stopped him because of the obvious perjury.

@Nonilex these fools (GOP) know what they have done, trashed their oath of office and handed our country to a madman. "Absolute power corrupts absolutely"

@Nonilex Which two Republicans voted ‘no’? None of the stories seem to mention that.
