confirmation hearings

Maybe.

But if your political opponent has a cabinet official who was instrumental in enabling a billionaire to continue running an underage sex ring (after it was known that he did so), you’d think that would move pretty quickly to the top of your list…especially if there’s no obvious explanation for why he got the position to begin with.

From an obscure US Attorney in Florida to…Secretary of Labor?

That he never became a political lightning rod has always struck me as being too conspicuous to have been some kind of oversight

You have made this bullshit up out of whole cloth.
There is a world out there, but
The only person making up this crap is you...

..'.a cabinet official who was instrumental in enabling....'

Pure bullshit.

Pure bullshit.

Your level of anger all the time can’t be healthy.

Nominee for CDC pulled by White House. Apparently another anti-vaxxer wasn’t going to get out of committee:

Next up is Lt. General "Razin" Caine for Chairman Joint Chiefs of Staff. I personally don't recall a retired officer being nominated for that job, or even a three star to be nominated for the senior military four-star job in all the military. It's all interesting. I don't know anything about this guy or why the President nominated him.

He denies President Trump's story about him:

President Donald Trump has said Caine wore the hat and expressed political support during a 2018 visit to Iraq.

I believe him. No intelligent officer would wear a MAGA hat in uniform. Very few would ever wear something so political, left or right, in civilian clothes either.
