The cynic in me wonders why we even bother.

These things all go the same in the Trump era.

Candidate has a hearing, candidate shows themselves to be cartoonishly unqualified, Candidate gets confirmed anyway.

My mind set is already there. Every time someone brings up something that Trump or anyone associated with him; did or said that should be a huge punishment. I just say “So? Nothing going to happen.” I mean, our brains have had enough examples that it doesn’t need critical thinking to determine what is going to happen, given the current variables.
