Rand Paul outwardly hating Milkweed Muffin is Rand Paul’s most (possibly only) redeeming quality.

Fuck I hate it when I agree with this muppet.

As the article stated, I don’t think this is enough to stop anything because of Fetterman.

Yeah they take turns pretending to be one of the two or three taking a stand while ensuring Trump still gets what he wants.

Don’t worry MAGAts…John “Scrambled Eggs For Brains” Fetterman will probably come to your rescue.

Rand ripped Mullin a new one at the hearing today, and deservedly so. What a fucking scumbag.

I can’t remember, did we nuke the confirmation filibuster yet?

Fetterman is going to vote yes and it’ll get out of committee.
Paul & Mullin have old beef
budderflyer on
Everyone with ears and brain who heard why Paul will vote no ought to vote no as well.

As part of the confirmation hearing, I want to hear Mullin answer the question: How will you stop the endemic waste, fraud and corruption that is currently occurring at DHS?

So it doesn’t clear committee and the nomination stalls. Excellent.

It’s insane to me that Rand Paul turned out to be the least crazy Republican.

Well that mofo was cheering when Rand Paul got attacked

How can you vote yes? He is zero expertise in leading a government agency. What we doing here.

Sucks that it won’t make a difference because somehow they’ll just get a handful of Dems to vote yes.

I actually laughed out loud at this headline. It would be glorious if Mullin sunks and Rand Paul was part of it. And then they have to stew with each other in the Senate the rest of 2026.
Maybe nominate someone with an actual leadership background in national security. That’d be a step in the right direction.

Sadly, the Fetterstien Monster will vote in his place.

I can’t believe I agree with a Paul brother

He’s voting no because it doesn’t matter

Man, even when the Republicans are on the right side it’s for petty fucking reasons.

Paul said a lot more than that, specifically about the time Mullin said he could understand the violent attack on Paul that resulted in 6 broken ribs and damage to his lung. Mullin did not apologize, condemn the attack, or correct the record.

Rand Paul is an idiot and voting No is a rare good thing he does.

But Melon’s BFF Fetterman will save him. Don’t worry – Trump’s favorite DINO is here.
gdex86 on
This while something doesn’t really mean much. There are 53 republicans in the senate and they only need 50 votes to confirm on purely party lines. They could lose 2 more votes and still confirm with Vance as the tie breaker, and that is assuming Fetterman doesn’t continue to disappoint.

Even if Mullin does fail here, Trump will just appoint Nick Shirley or someone similar and eventually they’ll sail through.

Well… at least his No vote will offset the Fetterman Yes vote.

You telling me the ex-plumber is not qualified to run a govt agency? (No offense against plumbers)

Now convince Fetterman not to sell us all out.

controlled dissent, Collin’s and Murkowski will save the day.

Is he going to chicken out when the pressure comes?
omgitsjohnholst on
Serious question: is there really nothing that can be done about the non-answers people give at these hearings?
I guess it’s just because of the lack of time given to the person asking the questions but almost every single person i’ve ever seen from the trump admin being confirmed always gives a prequel to their recipe and never gets to the fucking recipe.

I’m here for the infighting.

He has a “no” until voting time and he will switch to yes like a good dog.

The GOP always puts up a fake fight but then come around once it looked like they did something in their positions.

Stolen valor should disqualify you from any major position within the federal government.

It’s a good day when his neighbor doesn’t have to smack him.

Blocking these noms seems like a no-brainer to me. is there a downside?

Rand should hire his neighbor to be his champion when Markwayne inevitably threatens him.

Did his neighbor who punched him mean-eye him into submission… again?

He’s almost as bad as Massie. But at least he’s not full blown dem (yet)

The [OK Senate primary in on June 16](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2026_United_States_Senate_election_in_Oklahoma#Interim_appointment). It says he’s “withdrawn”, does that mean he hasn’t filed because he’s expecting the DHS gig or did he previously say he wasn’t running?
