As usual...."weak sister" Republican Senate Majority Leader, Mitch McConnell, bowed to the demands of Senate Democrat, Minority Leader, Chuck Schumer regarding the approval voting on POTUS Trump's cabinet nominees, etc.
McConnell, as the Senate leader could have & should have, forced the Democrat Senators and the entire Senate to stay in unending session through this past weekend, in order to gain the approval of all of DJT'a cabinet nominees. Instead, McConnell opted to bow to the whims & wishes of "no political power" Democrat minority leader, Chuck Shumer!!! If McConnell has any back bone or spine in defense of his POTUS....he showed...he, as usual, stands with the enemies of the state against his party leader!!!
DJT....this truncoat weakling should be removed from his leadership position and replaced with someone that will, every day, tear the political heart & soul from the Obama, Traitor, Democrat party!!! Please dump, McConnell today!!! He is no ally of yours...and, never will be!!! McConnell should be replaced, IMHO by Senator, Tim Scott, South Carolina...an excellent choic!!!
McConnell is not notorious for having any backbone at all.
By the time Pres. Trump had delivered the first five minutes of his damning speech, McConnell and Ryan and their cavalcade of wimpy GOP back-slappers were probably wishing they had stayed in session, as far from that podium and the cheering throng as they could get. That was an unprecedented political flogging of both parties. TERM LIMITS should be forced on this bunch of worthless tools.
You are not 100% correct...but, you are 1,000% correct, my friend. Term limits is the way to go!!!
It won’t surprise me to see the House start to act with one mind - most often in opposition to Trump.
Trumps very existence challenges the corrupt system.
I don’t care if he gives these guys a couple days, what I’m concerned about, is the SCOTUS pick. If there is any delay, he should evoke the Harry Reid option, and get it done.
I can assure you, that if Trumps cabinet picks are not ratified by this Friday, you’ll hear him screaming to the people about it.
The deep state in action.
YES!
I don’t think it will take until Friday.
Tomorrow, or Wednesday at the latest before the Tweets begin on this topic.
I agree with nikos about giving up a few days on the Cabinet in order to let the Dems wave their hands and appear to be able to slow the process. Perhaps this is not the time to stuff it down their throats with the Supreme Court nominee coming up and the need to cultivate the “Trump Democrats” which will come after the emotion and posturing of the initial steps of this administration.
Eyes on the prize and patience might be best. However, that would require insight and intelligence from Mitch which has not been his strong suit over the years.
IMHO, if President Trump’s nominees are NOT confirmed by Thursday afternoon, then Senate Leader McConnell needs to declare a “Senate Recess”, so the President can “Recess-Appoint” any nominee that has been vindictively delayed.
After that, the Senate Democrats can take as long as they want to play their partisan games.
Howeer, if McConnell also orders the TV cameras to be taken away, the Dems (especially Schumer) will lose interest in “playing” in this farce.
And the “final” confirmation vote can then proceed.
1) Save McConnels wife’s confirmation hearing for last
2) Figure out who is the real senate leader and work with him
Anyone who has taken the time to study President Donald John Trump knows that he is a man who is unafraid of a challenge.
The democrats in the senate along with a few RINOs continually challenge the President by attacking his nominees.
President Trump has nominated Gov Rick Perry to head and rein in the dept of energy, certain buffons in the Senate are acting like the fools they are. Likewise with Mrs. DeVoss as head of the dept of education and Rex Tillerson.
Now let's look at reality folks, something the democrats are unwilling and/or are incapable of doing.
As for hindering Gov. Perry for secretary of energy and Mrs. DeVoss to head the infamous failure, the department of education. The choice is clear confirm the nominees and have a streamlined, revamped, less dangerous department or have no department at all.
Concerning the Department of State and Rex Tillerson's appointment, fail to appoint and President Trump will be his own Secretary of State.
Trust me I have no love lost for McConnell and we need to keep an eye on him. On Fox News Sunday though he seemed pretty resolute that all nominees will be confirmed soon.
Congress and senate have act more like the Let’s make a Deal show Monte Hall winks.
Love it. This president doesn’t need the press, or note cards, or teleprompters, or anything. Doesn’t have to meet with Valerie Jarett before he takes a pi*s etc.
This is real leadership. He knows what he wants to do, and is ready to do it.
It amazes me, how much energy he has.
He realizes that he controls. Obama had no clue what he controlled. Trump simply threatens to do something, and the other sides caves.
is that Ryan, McConnell, McStain or one of Maine’s infamous four?
Trump already has put in a half days work today and it’s only 10 AM.
By this time of day, Zippy was still in his Alinsky print onesies and wiping the Presidential eye boogers out of his beady peepers
