Senators confirmed Avril Haines to be President Biden's director of national intelligence (DNI) on Wednesday, giving him his first Senate-confirmed Cabinet pick.

Senators voted 84-10 to confirm Haines, who appears to be the only Cabinet official Biden will get confirmed on the first day of his administration.

It's a historically small number of Cabinet picks to get through the Senate on the first day of a new administration and comes after Republicans were furious in 2017 when Democrats allowed only two Cabinet picks to be confirmed on former President Trump's first day.

Will the thug Bob Creamer be Biden’s Chief of Staff?

[ChronicMA]

So if Kamala can convince just this one woman to vote Biden unable to serve, Kamala becomes acting President right now.

[Trump.Deplorable]

I thought impeaching Trump was more important?

WTH

Dems are a bunch of liars

All designed to block release of declassified material. No coincidence DNI is priority pick.

another Zero leftover>>>>>>>>>>>>>

He will immediately begin establishing a gestapo organization with political officers stationed throughout all three branches of government.

Call it what you will,gestapo,secret police, czars, Comintern, political officers, but all action will come to necessitate their approval.....or else.

Don’t supposed the Senate grilled her on the alleged Russian cyberattack on the DNC...?

Just 1 cabinet pick on the first day of the Puppet Junta - hey that’s progress for the 50 Republican Senators still representing the Old Republic.

[caww]

It’s all Obama’s former people being installed to carry out the Globalist World Order Agenda.

84-10. GOP lovin’ life. No, blue slips for 30 hrs of debate to delay, delay, delay? I see.

[Dahoser]

84-10. The Washington Generals are already in midseason form. They should tell their RAT masters to make everything a unanimous consent proceeding and spare themselves the bother of sitting there quietly lest they be called a bad name by the media.

Truly one of the deep state.

you can bet that the Republicans will roll over on every one of NPC “Biden’s” cabinet picks and other appointments. At the end of Trump’s term, he still had people waiting to be confirmed.

Meanwhile I don’t think Trump ever had a full cabinet.
