Wonderful. They are setting themselves up to become completely irrelevant after November 2018.

Keep up the good work Chuckie!

“Democrats will also target Trump’s choices to head the Department of Health and Human Services, the Department of Labor, Treasury and the Environmental Protection Agency.”

What I’d like to see Trump tweet in response:

“Target all you want. Those departments no longer exist. MAGA!!!”

>In the absence of these cabinet posts being filled, Trump can directly control those agencies himself with his staff.
>Ought to be fun.
>I would order the agencies to be wound down.

I think Trump will just ignore congress and have the people start work day one. He’ll just rubber stamp their decisions.

It won’t surprise me if both do, they’re pathetic.

Actually they are much worse. They are Republicans in name only as a democrat could not be elected in there respective states. They run under the Republican label but are middle of the road democrats. Once you understand this all their actions are perfectly understandable. They are not conservative Republicans, they are democrats at heart.

Not a surprise, the Rats know they can't stop confirmations so they'll delay as long as possible.

The last times these *^(^& played this game we got hit by 9/11

Excellent point and I agree, they should have learned the lesson of this election that people are fed up.

Keep calling them obstructionists. They did a good job of labeling the GOP that way and the word stuck so we should recycle it and use it

Yup. But of course McCain and little Lindsey were all for Obama having the “team” he wanted. But, they probably won’t be that way when it comes to Trump’s cabinet. They are pathetic.

And who does Schumer think he is to dictate anything? Dems are in minority in every branch of government yet are acting like they control everything? I hope Trump tells him to take a hike.

How about Gowdy as Attorney General, and then Charley the Weasel, along with the Clintons, Obama, Comey, Lynch, McCain, McConnell, Graham, gets to spend all of their time sweating the multiple federal indictments?

Wouldn't that be a giggle?

The public needs to start calling the Dems in states Trump won that are up in 2018 for re-election.

Fine.

McConnell should use the time between confirmation hearings to pass resolutions under the Congressional Review Act revoking Obama regulations. No filibusters permitted under the Act, but there is a time limit (only regulations passed since May 2016 are eligible) so they need to start with the oldest regulations first.

The People, or, Pitchforks.

Make your choice carefully.

You’d think they would have gotten some measure of a clue of just how fed up we are.

Give them not one inch.

They either speed all right thru the fast lane or there will be pitchforks.

Don’t forget ole Mitch’ s wife is up for a cabinet post also. He has to be careful not to stick up for her and not the others. That would be hypocritical rat behavior.
