      If the GOP holds the senate, what do you think his approval odds are?

          Notice that not one single "I'm celebrating saving our democracy" democrat has made a comment?

          They know their party is corrupt. They just don't care.

            Why would I celebrate? There isn't going to be a Biden cabinet.

            Not that I'm a democrat, obviously.

            I was only joking

              If it’s literally true they’re zero. Even in a dem senate it would be a problem.

              I doubt it’s true though.

                https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alejandro_Mayorkas

                In 2015, a Department of Homeland Security inspector general (DHS IG) report criticized Mayorkas' oversight of the EB-5 investor visa program, which offered lawful permanent resident status (green cards) to foreign investors who invested a half-million dollars into businesses that created jobs in the U.S. The program's popularity greatly increased under Mayorkas's tenure. The DHS IG report, which was the culmination of an investigation beginning in 2013, focused on allegations that politically connected businesses were given special treatment under the program, focusing specifically on the Sahara casino and hotel in Las Vegas, backed by then-Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid, and an electric car company led by Terry McAuliffe and involving Anthony Rodham. The report concluded that "The juxtaposition of Mr. Mayorkas' communication with external stakeholders on specific matters outside the normal procedures, coupled with favorable action that deviated from the regulatory scheme designed to ensure fairness and evenhandedness in adjudicating benefits, created an appearance of favoritism and special access." The "fast-tracking" of approvals for individuals involved in the casino program was controversial because it was made over the objections of USCIS analysts "who were suspicious about the source of the funds."

                The inspector general's report found that Mayorkas's acts did not violate the law, but did create an appearance of favoritism. In House Homeland Security Committee testimony in May 2015, Mayorkas expressed regret that his intervention created an impression of favoritism, but said his involvement was motivated by a desire to ensure that the applications were handled in accordance with the law: "I did not let errors go unchecked, but instead helped ensure that those cases were decided correctly, nothing more and nothing less.

                    Nothing in there about him selling them.

                    But he still may have trouble. It gives the GOP something to latch onto other than DACA.

                        Yes. In politics there doesn't need to be much smoke for there to be fire. What is worrisome is that the fire will be fueled by a revenge factor, which of course has no place in politics, particularly national politics. "They did it to our guy, so now we're gonna do it to their guy!"

                        That's polarization for you. There is no more pulling together, no more working for the good of the whole. It's us versus those bastards!

                            A little late to cry " it's us against those bastards". We had someone who was fighting the peoples' fight against the political class but apparently he got voted out and we've handed it all back to the corrupt ruling class again because he hurt some people's widdle feewings.....

                                  Thank God he is being kept a few steps away at least from Foreign Policy. I don't think Kerry or Biden have ever been right on Foreign Policy matters yet.
