The Senate on Saturday confirmed Jeanine Pirro, President Donald Trump’s pick to serve as Washington D.C.’s top prosecutor, as lawmakers failed to reach a deal to ram through dozens of the president’s nominees.
The onetime New York judge and prosecutor and former Fox News host was one of the over 150 still outstanding nominees on the Senate’s calendar as Senate Republicans work to find a path forward to ram through Senate Democrats’ blockade of Trump’s nominees, and part of a slew of picks to get a vote over the weekend. But just ahead of her confirmation vote, the path to a deal was derailed, and lawmakers opted to ram through just seven of Trump’s nominees before heading home until September.

Thune should declare the Senate in full recess and let Trump do recess appointments.
End this farce.

Half the time, Thoon is working for the other side.
Only half?

I was watching Mike Davis the other day. He said it takes 60 votes to declare a Senate recess, I believe.
I like Trump’s style.
Is there any way to make them show up for work if they are not in recess?
Someone mentioned 60 votes to call a recess?
How do the dems always find a magic loophole but the GOPe seems to flounder at the simplest things
A real mystory.
Well, in a way that’s analogous to 0bama being half n’ half, y’know what I’m sayin’?
“””How do the dems always find a magic loophole but the GOPe seems to flounder at the simplest things”””
Because they don’t know how to fight. President Trump has been trying to teach them but they are slow learners.
They don’t want to fight.
“””They don’t want to fight.”””
They might get their hair messed up or break a nail. WUSSES
If only republicans would work like democrats to squelch their nominees.
Maybe an advanced peak at their names on the Epstein files? Bet they sat up and begged!
Thune picking up where McConnell left off, head RINO.
Pretty good reason why the American voting public hasn’t picked a senator to be president in over a century.
“slow learners.”
yes they are.
Hopefully Trump can keep dragging them kicking and screaming until they get the hang of winning.
winning... that is a sweet word
I just can’t wait for more.
Pirro as DC US attorney ... like a rabbit out of a hat BOOM.
It seemed like a no go till September, I thought everyone was leaving town yesterday.
Now ...what about a recess?
“”””Pirro as DC US attorney ... like a rabbit out of a hat BOOM.”””””””
That loud noise you hear is all the liberal heads exploding in unison. An average weak Republican President would ask the democrats who he should appoint to the DC position. President Trump finds someone who will give them heart attacks and goes full speed ahead.
Like when Mars attacked (bad movie reference)
eewwww ...clean up on isle 4.... sorry just an image in my head ...
They don’t want to fight.
I agree. The GOPe prefers being in the minority. They can make excuses why they can’t stop anything the Democrats do while still raking in the money.
