Yawn. These people scare no one.
Just make them Czars and tell the Demwits to go f*ck themselves.
Change the rules to stop this obstruction.
It all comes down to McCain, Graham and Flake. It is sickening that those three RINOs now veto power over confirmations and would side with the Democrats to block Trump nominees they do not like.
They act like they are in charge of something.
Seriously they want this country to not have a Cabinet in place for months?
Nice for continuity of operations in event of emergency, eh?
How selfish and short sighted can these men be???
Just say no.

Is this from the ‘Amazon Post’?
Lessee... Obama used a lot of Czars. Okay. No one gets appointed, but there are a lot of Czars! WHOO HOO!!!
Bluster for the morons who vote for them.
Dems are looking at a bleak 2018 midterm where Republicans have a good chance of taking 2/3rds of the Senate seat making them bullet proof.
Bluster. It’s all they got. That and McCain, Graham and Ryan.
“Bipartisanship” - R.I.P.
I heard on Fox that the Dems will target eight nominees. This is a big mistake, and just makes them look silly and petulant. I can see going after one or two, like Price. But eight is simply petty.
The “slow-walk” strategy is, I guess, to allow the embedded Obama appointees time to do maximum damage to the nation before they are forced out.
My guess is that they are being deluged by their constituents, who still can’t believe they lost. I see them on the street with petitions asking their representatives to give Trump as hard a time as possible.
Fine. Then Trump should announce that the agencies or departments will have skeleton crews and he’ll veto the budgets of them.

Shouldn’t Donna Brazille chime in and tell the Dems to seek common ground with Trump? It should work both ways, right?
McCain and Linda Graham are probably tripping all over themselves trying to “reach across the aisle” to their comrades. Republicans need to try to focus and remember, WE WON! Think of it as some funky karma!
The antidote for their ignorance is a good dose of Jeffersonian wisdom:
26.6 Termination of An Administration
"I have thought it right to take no part myself in proposing measures, the execution of which will devolve on my successor. I am therefore chiefly an unmeddling listener to what others say. On the same ground, I shall make no new appointments which can be deferred... thinking it fair to leave to my successor to select the agents for his own administration." --Thomas Jefferson to George Logan, 1808. ME 12:219
"I should not feel justified in directing measures which those who are to execute them would disapprove." --Thomas Jefferson to Levi Lincoln, 1808. ME 12:195
"[My predecessor in the office of the President made several] last appointments to office... [which] were among my most ardent political enemies, from whom no faithful cooperation could ever be expected, and laid me under the embarrassment of acting through men whose views were to defeat mine, or to encounter the odium of putting others in their places. It seems but common justice to leave a successor free to act by instruments of his own choice." --Thomas Jefferson to Abigail Adams, 1804. ME 11:29
"It would be with extreme reluctance that, so near the time of my own retirement, I should proceed to name any high officer, especially one who must be of the intimate councils of my successor, and who ought of course to be in his unreserved confidence." --Thomas Jefferson to Henry Dearborn, 1808. ME 12:64
"It is but common decency to leave to my successor the moulding of his own business." --Thomas Jefferson to William Short, 1793. ME 9:12
