Republican Alaska Senator Lisa Murkowski tells CNN she’s a no on confirming Trump defense lawyer Todd Blanche to his side job of United States Attorney General, saying “the country needs an Attorney General who will check the worst impulses of this administration. I hope Mr Blanche is able to achieve that, if confirmed, but I simply do not have confidence that will be the case.”
With Mitch McConnell’s semi-conscious corpse still being propped up in a wheelchair and procided that all Democrats in the chamber are present and voting no, the deciding vote now hinges on soon-to-be-former-Louisiana Senator Bill Cassidy to get Blanche to 50 so neckbearded Vice President JD Vance can break a tie. Cassidy, a physician who infamously sold out to confirm Brainwormed HHS Secretary Robert F Kennedy Jr only for Trump to thank him by recruiting Congresswoman Julia Letlow to successfully unseat him in this spring’s primary, has not indicated how easily he will once again capitulate to fascism after having voted to convict Trump in his 2021 impeachment trial.
