Senate Easily Confirms Scott Bessent as Treasury Secretary

There’s not going to be a lot of drama with this confirmation vote. Scott Bessent, who President Donald Trump nominated to be the next treasury secretary. His hearing wasn’t bombastic or overly confrontational. Sure, there were the usual ‘the Trump administration’ doesn’t know working people, which is laughably wrong. It’s the Democrats who don’t have any working people among their ranks. But Mr. Bessent did well in the policy-heavy hearing, which paved the way for a speedy confirmation. The Senate Finance Committee advanced his nomination to the Senate floor on a 16-11 vote.

The Senate voted 67-23 to break the filibuster, paving the way for this afternoon’s vote. Sen. Chris Coons (D-DE) signaled he was going to vote for Mr. Bessent. Unlike Hegseth’s vote for secretary of defense, Bessent breezed by on a 68-29 vote.

What;s she upset about? I thought the animated characters were pretty good.

Yeah, all these meme videos are great, except when they totally lack context as if all of us live on Twitter.

I found this explanation.

Why? They have Castro’s bastard’s greasy hair.

For the cost of statehood!

I wonder what those dimwits thought that firing on the Border Patrol would result in? I'm not sure if Trump will wait for a next time.

This is going to turn into an episode of Landman

Good for the Border Patrol to have the ROE that allowed them to shoot back, and the agent(s) for doing so.

Hopefully, one day soon the USAF joins in shooting back. I'd love to see ten MQ-9 Reapers patrolling our 1,954 mile border with Mexico. Shoot at the US federal agents or armed forces and you get to chew on a Hellfire.

Now, it's perfect.

A stat the GDC hate is that Obama deported 3.2 million+ people. Wake me up when DJT breaks that record. Could be this month. We’ll see.

I think what he's really telling them is-
"This is how it is now. You can get on board, or not get on board. In New York we had ways of dealing with those not on board. I know how."

He endured so much persecution for 8 years, and then emerged gracefully.
Ever try to imagine what that would be like?
He's entered full "How do you like me now bitch?" mode.

I wish I had known this stat earlier today, when someone at work was going on about 47 "having a quota" for deportations.

We'd better not find out that they're fudgin' these number.

Did the Biden admin know where all these recently deported were (and did nothing)?

How did the good guys round them all up in a week?

This reminds me of a joke that was circulating during Donaldus Magnus' first term. It went something like this:



Press Corps: "President Trump, with Russia-gate, pending impeachment and constant leaks from your inner circle, how do you sleep at night?"


Trump: "Naked. Next to a Supermodel."

They opened the border up for the invasion. You think they cared where these illegal aliens ended up?

Holman has already said that Trump wants a minimum of 1500 a week deported.

In police work, you know where most of your suspects live, hang-out and associate with. Considering this round is the worst of the worst, these people DGAF. They've been in & out of prison so many times, both here and where ever they're from, that they're not even bothering to hide and none of the usual sanctuary places want them around. The next round is where it'll get tricky, as families, churches, community centers and various local agencies start to actively hide their wayward delinquents.

That ain't going to cut it. Those are rookie numbers in this racket. Need to pump those numbers up...by orders of magnitude.

President Trump said 1500 per day.

This ain't 'Nam, though. Those numbers we're seeing had better be precisely correct.

Even 1,500 per day only results in about 2.2 million over all 4 years. We need 15,000 per day.
