Yeah! Trump just made Schumer a hero keeping Trump's appointments in limbo.

Yeah and the house should’ve done their job instead of running away scared for an early vacation. |
Seriously...the Dems have no come close to gumming up the works the way McConnell did for 15 years. It is part of why rank and file Dems are so upset at the party leadership. |
We have to get rid of these maga collaborators ASAP. |
If they want to convene the Senate for nominations, then the Senate Democrats should say "fine, we will reconvene and do nominations AS SOON AS you 1. release the Epstein records IN FULL, and with ONLY the victims names redacted. 2. Reinstate all illegally fired officials, 3. Reopen all whistleblower and IG cases that were shut down under Trump, 4. Unseal all Trump-related legal documents, post 2020, to include communications with DOJ, J6 Secret Service logs and communications, all foreign financial ties..." |
from the article:
“ Without a deal in hand, Republicans say they may try to change Senate rules when they return in September to speed up the pace of confirmations. Trump has been pressuring senators to move quickly as Democrats blocked more nominees than usual this year, denying any fast unanimous consent votes and forcing roll calls on each one, a lengthy process that can take several days per nominee. “I think they’re desperately in need of change," Senate Majority Leader John Thune said of Senate rules Saturday after negotiations with Chuck Schumer and Trump broke down. "I think that the last six months have demonstrated that this process, nominations is broken. And so I expect there will be some good robust conversations about that.” ADVERTISEMENT Newsletter: The Yodel Trusted news and daily delights, right in your inbox See for yourself — The Yodel is the go-to source for daily news, entertainment and feel-good stories.

Schumer said a rules change would be a “huge mistake," especially as Senate Republicans will need Democratic votes to pass spending bills and other legislation moving forward. “Donald Trump tried to bully us, go around us, threaten us, call us names, but he got nothing," Schumer said. The latest standoff comes as Democrats and Republicans have gradually escalated their obstruction of the other party's executive branch and judicial nominees over the last two decades, and as Senate leaders have incrementally changed Senate rules to speed up confirmations — and make them less bipartisan.” Thats the Chuck that don’t give F*ck (shout out to DC go-go) that I know and love. Keep going! |

+1000 Time to stop reaching across the aisle. |
Exactly. The Dems need to go scorched earth on the MAGA GOP like McConnell has done. Anything else is an abrogation of their duty. |
+ a million. Left leaning “Christian”. |
+1000. At this point it’s not about “trying to get things done”. It’s about minimizing the long-term damage from the Republican side. |
+1 All the stops must be pulled. The GOP hasn't cared about the rules for a while. |
They say whatever sounds best. Reality is irrelevant to the MAGAs. Have you learned nothing in the last 10 years? They are using the former Soviet Union playbook. Say whatever works. AI generated videos are next so buckle up. |
