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.

this kind of krap was necessary against an islamonazi foreign agent in the White House

but should NOT be used against a brand new, American president like DJT who is still trying to fill his administration’s posts

it is especially sad that “his own party” in charge of Congress is doing this

the GOPe leadership is trying to undermine our new President ... even before he can do anything wrong! They don’t give a hoot that we elected DJT....they aren’t giving him even a chance to fill his government and show us what he can do for us

It is so very very very sad .......
so very sad!

Maybe they’ll stop sending me fund-raising solicitations now.

He should make “Czar” hirings like Obama did. No need for appointments, the temporary Czars can do the job.

Don’t believe this block is legal. President Trump can still remove Sessions and can appoint a new DOJ. This is BS.

Seriously, Donald Trump should just form his own party. He’s the only person in America with the clout and support to do that and make it viable. It will instantaneously become a major party. If we get 70% of the Republicans and 20% of the Democrats to join it, as well as a good share of the Independents, it could become the dominant party literally overnight.

Just to be clear, when Obama THE DEMOCRAT was President the Republican controlled House and Senate stopped him from making Recess Appointments.

Today with the Republicans still in control of the House and Senate they block Republican President Trump from making Recess Appointments.

Something is off, but I can’t seem to put my finger on it.

Please remind me again why we were encouraged to get Republican majorities in the House and Senate AND the White House? The Democrats are the enemy in front of us but Republicans are the enemy amongst us. I will have regard for the enemy who will stand in front of me but I detest the snakes - Republicans - in the grass.

Why is it that I feel that those SOBs in Congress who object, are looking to cover their asses and don’t want to be exposed? Do the American people really trust them? This isn’t politics for the people, its politics for self preservation.

Imagine what the country would be faced with had President Trump not been elected? Our government is irretrievably lost in the hands of these traitors.

Anybody who claims that McConnell is not a traitor is either stupid or lying.

The elites have picked their side and it is not our side. Their hatred of Americans is palpable and they’re looking out for their own and stabbing 95% of Americans in the back to do it.

Be prepared.

It occurs to me that the British tried to pull this shit back in the 1700s.

Of all the sh!t I’ve seen the Republicans pull, this takes the cake.

Vote Democrat in 2018. We can fix it in 2020.
