Biden says president owed deference as new web ad slams Democrat senators for confirmation hypocrisy.
Senate Democrats’ plans to try to block many of President-Elect Trump’s Cabinet and Supreme Court nominees took fire from an unusual source Thursday night. Vice President Joe Biden said Democrats should allow Trump deference on his appointments during an interview with Judy Woodruff of PBS.
“The Constitution says the president shall nominate — not maybe could, maybe can. He shall nominate. Implicit in the Constitution is that the Senate will act on its constitutional responsibility, will give his advice and consent,” Biden said, “No one is required to vote for the nominee, but they, in my view, are required to give the nominee a hearing and a vote.”
The comments are sure to cause newly obstruction-happy Democrats heartache. Biden’s advice was blasted out by the Republican National Committee Friday morning.
And now, Democrats are being roasted by their own words about Cabinet-level nominees, in a new ad by a conservative PAC. MORE
Has schmuckles exploded yet?
I saw New York and New jawsey declared emergencies over Ft Lauderdale, have the gunshots ended up north? Just trying to suck up federal funds?
Ugly kid joe messing up things again? He needs a 1/2 nekkid advisor to straighten him out.
To deceive, obstruct and lie are the democrat’s standard operating procedures.
We experienced this through the past 8 years in spades.
From obama, reid, pelosi, schumer, leahy IRS, EPA, BLM, Homeland security, State Department, DOJ, FBI, ATF, FBI, CDC, CIA and every agency in Obama’s Administration.
Does anyone believe progressive/socialists will change?
Take note of the RINOs who belly up to the Democrats during the hearings and join the obstruction. The progressive RINOs will be given a soap box and extensive media coverage.
Hey Joe!
Yer head just called…
It wants to know when it can come outta yer ass!
Uncle Joe know PEOTUS has a very thick file – a “pedo” file if you will – on every perverted act of the outgoing crowd.
As the old saying goes: Even a broken clock is right twice a day.
It’s too bad Crazy Idiot Joe didn’t run and get the Democrat nomination.
Can you imagine how much fun Mr. Trump would have had with such a target rich opponent?
I don’t know where this whole, we won so suck it, deal came about. The core reason why we have 2 parties in this country is that one of them is in opposition at all times.
For almost the past 8 years it was republicans who were in opposition and now today the democrats are in opposition. The democrats could still be the majority, but they squandered their capital as quickly as they received it. On bullshit crap too, healthcare, bathrooms, #BLM, etc.
See, it’s all about what eht word “deference” mians in tihis context.
A prisidnece determines “deference” by not standing aside as someone enters the room, and stuff. If you stand aside, and tlet the interference pass, then you’v showed “defernce” unto the prezmint – but if you don’t – and go for the hale murrey pass, then youv’e not shown “defernce” but interlopism.
Maybe little Joey is back on his meds, whatever, but for once he has hit the nail on the head. Just don’t let him get near Trump’s grandkids.
Uncle Joe is like John McCain. Just can’t figure out which side of the aisle he supports.
As goofy as he is, the best news of the past election was that he wasn’t running. Hillary’s evil lost her the election. That history of evil could not be hidden, even with the decks stacked in her favor, MSM purchased bias, celebrity lies, and her lying and cheating every centimeter of the way. I’m not so sure Joe would have lost.
Although, I really believe President Trump hit all the right buttons of hope for Americans, who have suffered under the oppressive progressive, lying, cheating, racist, elitist rule of Washington, DC for way too long.
We need to get on every possible communication line to congress re: Cruz’s term limits bill. They will hide, obfuscate and suppress every action around it; unless President Trump and America bombard congress about it.
One of my favorite things about Trump; he kicks the filth away and exposes the congressional molelike actions to sunlight for America to see! I love it.
It’s past the time, for congress to act as if they know best. They are elected by us and they either pay attention to us or they find another job! No more professional politicians sitting on their asses, getting rich on taxpayer funds! And when they retire, no padded pension or expense accounts. They should have to meet labor laws, and receive no greater pay or benefits than the military, that REALLY earns what is contracted to them, (although congress constantly changes those terms).
Left out the word ‘stop acting’ re:congress sorry.
Joe Biden is nothing if not an experienced political animal. I suspect he saw the writing on the wall and decided to support the constitution for a change with a view on 2020. Having said that, the ad should have ended with a caption of “What’s changed for these Democrats” and played the ad on prime time. The supporters of democracy (even if they don’t like Trump, Koch brothers are you listening) have to remember that this fight with anti-democratic forces both inside and outside the Democrat Party is still going on. You can damn well bet that the movers and shakers are meeting to work out what went wrong and how they can screw Trump and not leave any fingerprints.
The comment from Mighty Mojo that Biden could have won is scary.
Seriously, only someone as retarded as Joe Biden could vote for him. He is truly too short to qualify even as a mental midget. To imagine that moron actually playing with the nuclear launch codes is beyond irresponsible.
I actually point to Joe Biden as the reason that the POTUS is incompetent. He had him as VPOTUS as insurance against assassination; not for being even remotely capable or qualified to run a lemonade stand, much less any position in the government.
Years from now, they will examine the deficient, damaged brain of Joe Biden and conclude that liberalism is a mental disease that eats away at the grey matter.
