Eight Senate Republicans vow to block Democratic initiatives and nominations after Trump verdict

A handful of Senate Republicans on Friday vowed to block major Democratic legislation and White House nominees for top positions in retaliation of a guilty verdict against former President Donald Trump on Thursday.

Trump was found guilty of 34 felony charges related to falsifying his business records in order to hide a hush money payment to former porn star Stormy Daniels. Trump has maintained his innocence, and vowed to appeal the ruling in a speech Friday.

The group of eight Senate Republicans, led by Sen. Mike Lee of Utah, accused the White House of making "a mockery of the rule of law," and said they would not support any political or judicial nominees, any "expedited" Democratic legislation, or authorize an increase in funding for non-security related agencies within the administration.

While we're at it, where was the Republican Party during these ridiculous lawfare shenanigans? The Permanent Minority Party never wants to rock the boat.

Pandora's Box has been thrown open by the Leftist Democrats and all they can do is hide behind the furniture.

They should just shut the whole treasonous apparatus down. Send them all home. We could get better government with a good AI program.

Let’s hope so.
It’d be great if we can get another judge.

All depends on who programs the AI. Musk seems to have turned a corner. Maybe he could get one of his companies to make a smarter one.

“Eight Senate Republicans vow to block Democratic initiatives and nominations after Trump verdict”

But they won’t. Someone will have “got to them” before the vote, and/or they’re too wimpy to take that stand.

All bluster. Won’t believe anything these feckless congressmen say they’ll do. They didn’t lift a finger to prevent this lawfare in the first place.

Hey, I’m sure their vows are just as good as Mike Johnson’s.

You can’t really expect Graham the RINO to be on the list.

META’s AI is absolute trash. We have experimented with it and it gives blatantly wrong answers most of the time. (Wife plays with it for work/laughs.)

Using that word with Trump is unnecessary. The whole shebang was made up, from their hate and from their fear of the man, Trump. He is not intimated and he does not quit.
Keep him in your prayers.
