Trump Nominees Languish in GOP-Controlled Senate
The Daily Signal ^ | November 09, 2017 | Fred Lucas

Posted on 11/09/2017 2:22:03 PM PST by detective

Fewer than half of President Donald Trump’s executive branch and judicial nominees have been confirmed by the Senate—the lowest number of confirmations in the past four administrations at comparable points in their presidencies. The dismal numbers—a total of 223 confirmations of 519 nominees—were circulated by the White House amid complaints of unprecedented Democratic obstruction and the Senate’s lax schedule.

The Senate is sabotaging the Trump administration not only by blocking legislation but also by refusing to confirm his nominees.

It’s a UniParty-Controlled Senate disguised as GOP.
It’s corrupt and evil to its core.

The Senate should be required to work 7-day weeks until all their important work is DONE. Nominees confirmed, reasonable legislation passed.... especially budget, tax cuts, REPEAL ObozoCare, etc.

Doesn’t fewer appointees and Czars mean money saved?

No. It means policy is being set and administered by obama holdovers.

Sadly this was to be expected. The GOP senators deeply resent Trump, and they resent us as well. The elitists in the senate see him as an iligitimate outsider who was elected by petulant and ignorant GOP voters.

Next election we will remove these sneaky saboteurs who derided and derailed our president. We will not forget.

Words that are so True!!!

The GOPe has lost its direction big time!

You would think that we are talking about the Rat party but it really is the way the GOPe is behaving these days and I was so wrong in believing there was hope for the GOP controlled Senate, but now we are not sure anymore about the GOP Senate.

Not one word tonight about Trump’s fabulous trip. Nothing.

I am sick of Brasile and now it is all Roy Moore allegations.

“WHAT ARE THEY DOING?”
*********************
Well, at the moment they’re doing all they can (including jinning up phony bogus charges) to attempt to defeat the conservative, patriotic Republican candidate running in this December’s general election against a ‘RAT. They’d rather have a ‘RAT in that seat than an honest, non-corrupt Republican who will not support their corruption.

Of course. The gop wing of the uniparty wanted to “lose” the election and is doing it’s damnedest to “lose” the next one. I put “lose” in quotes because none of these twits actually lose anything. If they get tossed in an election, they cash in as a lobbyist. Take a look at former senate and house leaders and where they’re at.

Being the minority party in congress is far more profitable for individual members of the gop than being in the majority.

Politics is a scam and we’re suckers for playing.

This isn’t the rat faction of the uniparty, but they’re certainly playing along. No, this is the gop faction of the uniparty. They’re obstructing themselves.

There is only one party, the uniparty.
