Senate Republicans have no sense of irony. Not long ago they cheerfully confirmed an anti-environment man to head the EPA, an anti public education woman to head the Dept of Education, an open racist to head the Dept of Justice, and so on for most of failed45’s wrecking crew. Now they object because Secretly Haaland will be an “untraditional” person to head Interior. .. and my day starts with a big smile!

Let's not forget Bill Perry leading the Energy Department that he called to eliminate. Rather than irony the GOP has no integrity.

And remember that Perry forgot that the DOE even existed, climate denier that he is.

I can't even begin to describe the hypocrisy of the Republicans. In fact, my head hurts even thinking about it. When I remember all the unqualified cabinet appointments, federal and supreme court judges/justices, department head appointments (key up Louis DeJoy), there is absolutely no way to defend any of them. And yet they now question every single appointment that President Biden makes.

I don't think it is hypocrisy any longer. It is a group of seemingly entitled white men seeking power and wealth and the death of the government through lies, intimidation, more lies, and loads of whining. And, there isn't a brain among them.

When the goal is to destoy government...

Exactly. Then redistribute any governmental programs to industry to (not) handle.

That was, of course, supposed to be "Secretary" Haaland, but the autocorrect poltergeist had its own ideas.

One must have a modicum of intelligence to appreciate irony. The Republican politicians and their slavish constituents do not possess either intelligence or principles, and that accounts for their deplorable (nod to Hillary) governance.

This has never been so blatant as this past year. The idiocy shines.
