Members of the GOP Senate majority are discussing the possibility of not confirming certain nominations President-elect Joe Biden will make to both his cabinet and the judiciary, according to a new report from Axios.

Senate aides involved in the discussions reportedly say that the top targets will be appointees who were loud critics of Trump or played a key part in impeachment hearings, according to Axios. Some names that were mentioned include Sally Yates, Lt. Col. Alexander Vindman and Susan Rice, Axios reports.

If Biden is President the Rs should not adopt the Ds' tactic of obstructing every Trump appointee. Biden appointees who are clearly unsuitable (e.g. openly tyrannous, chronic cover-up artists, known abusers of power) should be blocked if possible and raked over the coals whether they are blocked or not. However sweet revenge might seem to be, what is good for the country should be greater.
If, as anti-Covid-vaxxers claim, https://www.poynter.org/fact-checking/2021/robert-f-kennedy-jr-said-the-covid-19-vaccine-is-the-deadliest-vaccine-ever-made-thats-not-true/ , https://gospelnewsnetwork.org/2021/11/23/covid-shots-are-the-deadliest-vaccines-in-medical-history/ , The Vaccine is deadly, where in the US have Pfizer and Moderna hidden the millions of bodies of those who died of "vaccine injury"? Is reality a Big Pharma Shill?

Millions now living should have died. Anti-Covid-Vaxxer ghouls hardest hit.

Any "republican" cooperating in any way with these frauds should be considered an enemy.

The rats have set the standard and have guaranteed our government will be totally dis-functional from now on.

Obstruction and impeachment probably kept Trump from realizing at least half of his agenda.  We should return the favor X 10.

Shouldn't they be concentrating on keeping their majority?

Complete destruction of the rat party in its current incarnation IS a service to the country.

I'll go own record that I think there is a 60-75% chance of a significant economic downturn between now and the 2022 elections.  Unless "The Steal" can be perpetuated, the GOP taking the house is a pretty decent bet.

FWIW, there are some big investors who starting to get out of the markets and are buying farmland.

I think a downturn is all but guaranteed even if the Pubs hold the Senate and I'm not all that sure they will.

Networks cleared their deck for a "speshul" report so Pedo Joe could introduce his cast of clowns.  What a f'n joke/

Yeah, big news. Joe recycles innumerable retreads from previous Dem administrations.

No.
There are NO democrat-communist nominations that will be "good for the country".
NOT A SINGLE ONE OF THEM.

And revenge IS "sweet", when it's properly taken.
I say,
TAKE IT.

What I'd like to see?  McConnell re-installs the filibuster just for Cabinet positions (assuming he's still majority leader).  Maybe for Judges, too.  The rule for Judges was changed by a simple majority vote, but to make the changes last past the current session it takes 2/3rds, I think.  Maybe 60 votes?

Just refuse to pass the enabling resolution that will come in the first few days.

Of course they will.  One more Republican senator is not going to change this.
