This obstructionism is unprecedented in American history. The question is, what are Mitch McConnell and the other alleged leaders of the Republican majority going to do about it?
Like many others, I have just about come to the conclusion that Congressional Republicans are worthless. Time is running out for McConnell and his colleagues to show us that our votes and our financial support for Republicans havent been wasted. And please: dont lecture us on the hallowed traditions of the Senate. Those traditions have been blasted to smithereens by the Democrats. This is a war, Senator McConnell, and if you are not interested in fighting it, then we need to find someone who is.
Despite being in office for nearly a year, President Trump has been unable to staff his administration. In the early days, he was slow to make nominationsnot surprisingly, given that he wasnt surrounded by a cadre of former officials and government hangers-on. But that is no longer true. Now, the problem is that Senate Democrats are stalling Trumps nominees. In one agency after another, they are carrying obstructionism to unprecedented lengths.
Take, for example, the Department of the Interior. Secretary Ryan Zinke has written a letter to Democrat Dick Durbin protesting the Democrats blockade of nominees to his department:
Interior Secretary Ryan Zinke says Senate Democrats are holding the departments nominees hostage to a political agenda that includes opposition to his review of presidentially designated monuments.
But it is the hostage situation that is taking place all across the federal bureaucracy. The Democrats consider federal agencies to be their rightful property, and they have no intention of allowing a Republican president to exercise the constitutional powers of his office.

And at that point with the US ungovernable, it will become just another failed state. Just what the Democrats and deep state want.
Kiss prosperity civil courts la enforcement JIT deliveries of goods and food - and much more good bye, all just a memory.The road to full blow socialism will be wide open and we will sail blithely down it - most with their eyes wide shut except when they aren’t looking down at their devices with the latest approved apps and news ...
A bit after that, Islam (and the social strata demanded by Sharia Law) will become the main ‘religion’ in the US and Canada.
The term 'Republican Majority' no longer stands. The lack of any Republican successes in 2017 votes because of the RINO crossovers at every vote ie: mcstain, collins et al making the Senate a democrat majority that passes no legislation anymore. The alleged Republican majority leaders are just schumer playthings.
I despise Democrats on so many levels.
Congress and the Senate are puppet factories until they are elected out of office drain the swamp.
Does anyone doubt that the Senate will take a Thanksgiving Recess?
Therefore, President Trump SHOULD be able to “recess-appoint” many of his nominees during that recess.
That is, UNLESS Senator McConnell colludes with Senator Schemer to allow the Democrats to continue their partisan “blockade” by simply changing the “definition” of “recess”.
How McConnell chooses to handles this dirty trick will reveal just whose “side” McConnell is on...
McConnell needs to understand that if that future comes to be, people will be coming for him, as well.
Lots of blame to spread around...

I know. It blows my mind that anyone would discuss McConnell as if he were actually a Republican. Its laughable. McConnell would rather be right” than a patriot. McConnell would rather be popular with the left and the NeverTrumpers then perform his duty to his office, or to the American people, or to the president.
McConnell has No intention of moving anything that helps president trap succeed. Dont know when we will get that through our head . He is not one of us. He is a leftist now.
GHACK.
It starts with the most powerful. It starts with NeverTrump McConnell.
You dont have to look around. You dont have to cross a river, or climb a mountain. You can start with Mitch McConnell. A lot of blame to go around” starts with McConnell.
I guess you’re correct... we could put him in a park in Boise, and build a out house over his grave so everyone can crap on him, like he has us.
