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.

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

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!

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.

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

Let’s see. We get bills to make Charlie Guard a citizen, to preserve the Russian witch hunt and now to block Republican appointments. They don’t do anything to help the majority of people. This Congress us garbage!

Oh wait...

Under the principle of separation of powers, does the Senate have the right to do this?
