To paraphrase the famous saying these Republican shills would
confirm a ham sandwich (or a hamberder) for Trump.

The hearings are a formality that at best give the Dems an opportunity
to hopefully pin him down to some extent.

He's not an incompetent; he's an actively evil person and there's not a goddamn thing Dems can do about it.

Until 2020.

Who knows? Maybe he starts and immediately quits after his 1st meeting with President Bullshit...
