Senate blocks Trump from making recess appointments

The Republican Senate unanimously screwed their President's foreign policy with sanctions and now have blocked their own from making recess appointments. Did the Dems ever do that to Obama? Think of the delays in Trump getting his picks through because of the Democrats - this would help him! My assumption is they are trying to save Sessions (who I don't think Trump would fire anyway), but they want that Mueller investigation to roll on. Some of them, you know some of them, want Trump replaced with Pence. Where are their voices when it comes to Mueller's potential conflicts of interest regarding Comey and his stacking his investigation full of Hillary supporting Democrats? Where are they now that his investigation has veered off into territory outside of Russia? I don't hear them. I've heard a couple from the House, but the House isn't as swampy as the Senate.

The liberals cheer this, but that's who the GOP Republicans would rather please anyway. Disgraceful. The swamp is showing an outsider what happens if he/she tries to run for President.

Backstabbing bastards.

Maybe Trump should drop a MOAB on the Senate and do us all a favor.

[DIRTYSECRET]

Fine by me. Trump has the upper hand as long as he has his 65 million supporters out there. His enemies are just postponing the inevitable.

One only needs to look at the video of Mitch McConnel when the Republicans took control of both houses, he was aghast and visibly shaken at how they had won and with who. That is why this is happening in the Senate.

Mitch McConnell is a TRAITOR to the American People!

[raiderboy]

Where were the republican leadership? McConnell? Cornyn?

[Roccus]

I just love the two party system

TRUMP....v....Uniparty

The beltway pigs know POTUS is about to poopcan their precious obamacare subsidy. So this is just more petty games from them in response.

[Junk Silver]

I’m beginning to think that Trump’s only option is to form his own political party now and invite any loyal Republicans who wish to join him.

I think he could destroy both the Republican and Democrat parties with some careful strategizing and a few good rallies. This business of pretending that the Democrats and Republicans are two opposing political parties is getting tiresome. There are the Globalists and the Nationalists, that’s all there is to it.

The president did not approve their “law” therefore it is not a law and is meaningless. There are three co-equal branches of government and the senate is only half of one branch.

Trump could tell the senate that they can’t take a crap for a year. That does not make it a law and the senate could still crap when nature stirs them, although I would agree that those losers should have giant anus screws with locks to prevent cheating.

[lodi90]

They don’t call it the Surrender Party for nothing.

[JBW1949]

There is none...It’s all UNIPARTY...

Conservatives are going to have to accept the fact that it’s going to take action from everyday Americans to thwart Washington...

Bloodless or bloody, it’s going to come to that....

[papertyger]

In all the time since my first vote for Ronald Reagan, I have NEVER let a Republican on my ballot go without my vote...until Marco Rubio.

Days like today make me proud of that abstention.

[deport]

Didn’t they keep the Senate in session to prevent
President Bush from making some appts?

[SkyPilot]

Republicans are now as bad as Democrats. At least the evil Democrats don’t eat their own. God, please punish these people.

[Jane Long]

Who are the two who didn’t vote?

This is getting absolutely disgusting.

The Senate making themselves President?

[Lurkinanloomin]

We have to start removing the weasels with the Amnesty Senators

Corker, Hatch, Heller and Flake in 2018

Graham and Alexander in 2020

Murkowsky, Hoeven and Rubio in 2022

[raiderboy]

This country is heading toward civil war and we have the military and the military command. This could get very bad but we will crush the resistance. Praise Jesus.
