They are cowards. Terrified of Trump gaining power and disrupting their fiefdoms.
Why do Republican senators need to “cut a deal” with a Republican president?
The only purpose is to preserve the Deep State.
Massie put this out...I'll take a wait and see.

In other news (although there has not yet been any reporting on it, there has been a huge huge win for the Trump Administration with judge dismissing lawsuits challenging President’s supposed “dismantling of USAID.”

This is big big news!
No it’s not. These are people Trump needs in his cabinet.
This is what the opposing party does to keep the Prez from making recess appointments.
Trump stands alone.

SCOTUS held that the President may make recess appointments during recesses of 10 or more days, but the Senate may utilize pro forma sessions to prevent such appointment opportunities. A pro forma session includes any daily session held to prevent a recess of the session.
And?
We don't like it now?
What's the problem with us playing by the rules, wanting to stop Obama appointments and wanting to allow Trump appointments?
So the rats have always done this even with a rat president?

Yes, the claims are largely true. House adjourned early on July 22 to avoid voting on the Epstein files bill, entering a ~41-day recess until Sept. Senate plans ~39-day August recess. ~135 Trump nominees and ~47 judge vacancies pending. GOP leaders plan pro forma sessions to block recess appointments, per reports.
Trump should Publicly thank them, because his team can start forming a group that will find candidates to run against Libs and Rinos.

The last U.S. congressional recess allowing presidential recess appointments (10+ days without pro forma sessions) occurred from March 25 to April 12, 2010. President Obama made 15 valid appointments during that period. Since the 2014 Supreme Court ruling in NLRB v. Noel Canning, pro forma sessions have consistently blocked such opportunities.
They usually only do this when the President is from the other party.
Seems like Republicans are screwing over President Trump.
Okay. I'll assume that wasn't sarcasm.
What's the 4D chess move?
Then we shouldn’t reelect them
Okay, anybody still want to defend Thune on this?
The President has asked the Senate to stay in session and get a few of his nominees appointed.
Thune has NOT said anything yet.
