One can always hope, like an honest and direct answer as to who they prefer during a deadly pandemic: Levine or RFK Jr? And why.

Well, I can say this being from Pa, during the pandemic Levine was our states Health czar and IMO she did a credible job. My mother who was alive and in a assisted living / nursing home at the time faired much better than her cousin did back home in NY .......

If I understood it right, Gaetz taking the AG position presumably to avoid scrutiny would still see the same scrutiny since the AG position requires pre-screening. Therefore it will depend upon the case against him I guess.

The Devil is in the details.

First, by now it should be clear why Trump demands recess appointments as this will shortcut any confirmation hearings along with any kind of background checks until midterms.

Second, Gaetz resigned from the House two days before the House ethics committee meeting to vote on releasing their report.

Third, Gaetz believed that Rick Scott, endorsed by Trump, would be Senate leader. He, a spineless Republican, agreed to recess appointments.

Fourth, Gaetz appears to be fucked.

Oh, so now that there are some rather questionable characters nominated for Defence, AG and DNI, we should all pivot towards policy? While Trump is allowed to nominate loyal individuals who will toe the party line, that doesn't mean he can't nominate people with relevant competencies and aren't carrying some interesting baggage.

Gaetz - What to know about Matt Gaetz, Trump's attorney general pick | AP News
His only experience with prosecution is to be subject of investigation.

Gabbard - Who is Trump intelligence pick Tulsi Gabbard, accused of repeating Russian talking points?
No relevant experience and a compromised background. The 'Five Eyes' may become the 'Four-and-a-half Eyes', if the other four allies become reticent in sharing intelligence with her.
Hesgeth - ‘Who the f--k is this guy?’: Defense world reacts to Trump’s surprise Pentagon pick - POLITICO A former "Hey, YOU!" Captain*, with no relevant experience.

*In the Navy, we referred to Army Captains derisively as a "Hey, YOU!" Captain. A Navy Captain is equivalent to an Army Colonel.

You can wish for discussions to concentrate on policy, but you can't ask everyone to ignore the dirt. They come as a package. Regardless, they may be in for a rough ride during confirmation hearings. Time will tell.

In his last term, he kicked people out of the clown car pretty often, so maybe he'll do the same this time if someone doesn't perform their tricks well enough.

If they're approved and cause problems, they should go. If the problems are prosecutible, they go AND suffer the consequences.

Ya pays yer money and ya takes yer chances.

Anyone nominated needs to be confirmed by the Senate- I think this is a move that puts the blame on the Senate if the wheels fall off. If the Senate fast tracks anyone who turns out to be a problem, we need to hold the Senators responsible if they knowingly let it happen.

It's time for more/better accountability, with teeth.

If you read a little before you post you would know that is not true.

Try google Trump and recess appointments.

For a Gold Star there are even another ways to subvert Senate “advise and consent”.
